BANKS LOSE THEIR APPEAL.
Will Not Share In Distribution to
American Trust Depositors.

Harrisburg, Pa, May 23.-The su-
preme court upheld in a per curiam
opinion the decision of the Dauphin
county court that number of Phila-
delphia banks which held checks
against the American Trust company
should not be considered as depositors
in the distribution of funds.
The banks contended that they were
entitled to preference, as they had
checks issued by the company in pay
ment of checks issued against deposits
in its possession. The banks appealed
from the decision of the Dauphin court,
and the appeal is dismissed.

WAR ON THE MOSQUITO.
Some Interesting Facts About the Pest
and How Many Unpleasant Fea-
lures May Be Avoided.

A recent health bulletin says: "The
mosquitoes breed in stagnant water
They have small power of flight, and
those that annoy you are bred within
a short distance of your house. In
stead of wasting time over various
smudges, burning aromatic sticks and
wondering where the mosquito comes
from, If you will look into your back
yards. or those of you rneighbors, you
will probably find the source of an
noyance, which can be easily pre-
vented.
"A little water standing in buckets,
tubs, saucers, flower pots, broken bits
of crockery, drains in the yard, caves
of roofs, all become breeding places
for mosquitoes.
sOne neglected tin can can breed
enough mosquitoes to render unhappy
the lives of those in an entire city
block.
''The female mosquito lays her eggs
on water, and these hatch out in one
day into larvae, commonly called
wriglers, for the existence of which
air is necessary, and is taksn in
through breathing tube, which is
thrust through the surface of the
water. The use of oil upon stagnant
water prevents the wrigler from
obtaining the necessary amount OF
air, and in that way produces death.
In from to IA days, according to
circumstances these change in form
and become pupae, or what are COM
monty known as 'tumblers.' After two
to five days the adult mosquito ap-
pears, the entire period taking from
ten days, in the minimum, to 20 days,
in the maximum.
bitches and ponds holding stag
nant water should be drained or filled
and, where that is impracticable, or
binary kerosene should be used This,
to be effective, should be renewed
once in ten days.
1T is not too much to say that if
every citizen ceased to help on the
breeding of mosquitoes by affording
them vessels of stagnant water and
little pools in their gardens, this
alone would reduce the mosquito pest
during the summer time in a most
amazing way

that a large percentage Of graduates
became lawyers. The number was nearly
three times greater than the totals for
either teaching, engineering or medicine.
OF late years, however. the number of
graduates choosing the legal profession
has fallen off considerably, and there Is
corresponding increase in later years
in favor of business. One-third Of the
