A Douelas dispatch .ays:-
 Nothing definite was given out to- day regarding the condition of the
 Arizona Bank & Trust Company,
 which closed its doors on Tuesdsy
 lsst. pending sn investigation. Au- ditor J c Callsghsn and his assistant, B Ormond, have been going care. fully over the banks sffsirs since Tuesday morning, making spprsise- ment of assets and liabilities, but they concluded that it wac not beet 10 make any definite statement of values at this time, owing to . pending effort to reorganise the bank and preferinR that the statement be left for annc uuce- ment by receiver, who will be ap- pointed by the court in case of failure of reorganization.
 Auditor Csllssh han left on the after noon train for Phoenix. leaving his sssistsnt, Mir Ormond in charge of the bank. Today there were . good many depo.i,ors in the bank with ,beir deposit books for verifcs.ion. The ststement made by Auditor Call lsghsn follo.s:-
 "In view of the fact that the Ari- lons Bank X Trust company was temporarily taken over by me for the purpose Of examination and report to the attorney general, I can only gay that, after examination, I have found the institution to be insolvept and in the absence of reorganization it will be 'ecesssry for the court to appoint . 'eceiver to whom 1 sball relinquish possession.
 While realizing the anxiety Of the d p1sitors ss to tbe liquidation of the banks affsirs, I feel that . statement at tbis time would be premature, as it would necessarily be bssed upon only q cursory examination and spprsiee- ment. and there ore chou d he def rred to the receiver.

Medicinal Heart of Oak.

The virtue of cure" apparently.
does not always lie in its ability to dis
gust the senses. From earthwOrms
for bronchitis and snakes for goiter
one turns with relief to a "cure" for
"ail weaknesses of mind and body
which Coleridge encountered on a visit
to Germany. 1t was indeed something
to write home to his wife about Here
is its advertisement: "a wonderful and
secret Essence extracted with patience
and Gods blessing from the English
oaks and from that part thereof which
the heroic sailors of that Great Nation
call the Heart of Oak. This invaluable
and infallible medicine has been god
lily extracted therefrom by the slow
processes of the Sun and the magneti-
cal Influences of the Planets and fixed

should do much toward cementing

Marine Monsters That Are Known az
Whale Killers

There really is such sea monster
rs the whale killer. 1t is one of the
largest and most ferocious of all the
dolphin family. 1t also is known as
the grampus. 1t is characterized as a
genus by its large size and the conical
and depressed head, devoid Of a beak.
The back fin is of great length, espe
cially in the males, and the flippers are
large and broadly ovate.
The teeth are comparatively few
in number. varying from ten to thir-
teen on each side of the jaw, and are
much larger than in any dolphins yet
noticed, being often an inch or more
in diameter and having an oval sec
ton. The coloration is striking. the
upper parts and fms being black. while
the lower jaw. chest and under parts
are whitiSh.
The white area of the under parts
does not. however. extend to the fukes,
but ends posteriorly in a trident, Of
which the lateral and shorter prongs
extend obliquely upward on the tanks.
There is a large white streak above
and behind the eye. and frequently at
least a purple crescentic area extends
across the back behind the fin. The
killer attains a length of at least TWEEN
ty feet-St. Louis Times.

When You Are Weary,

Are you weary? Breathe more. eat

from mental work

work" says a we'll known physician.

exercise. That will make you more
weary. All you need are rest and more
air in your lungs. Sit down quietly
and comfortably and breathe deeply
twenty-five times. Rest a moment and
repeat.
"This air forced into the body re.
moves the waste material which
makes you weary.

When Dead Men Ate.

In the medical press is story Of
man who believed that he was dead
and who for that reason refused to
take nourishment. How can the
dead eat and drink" he asked when
food was pressed upon him. 1t was
obvious that unless something were
done to bring him to his senses the
delusion must soon become actuality-
he would die of starvation. The stran-
gest ruse was tried. Half a dozen at
tendants, draped in ghostly white, crept
silently in single file into the room
adjoining his and with the door open
sat down where he could see them at
a hearty meal. Here, who are these
peopleY' inquired the patient. Dead
men," answered the doctor. "WhatT'
said the other. DO dead men eat?"
ITO be sure they do, as you see for
Yourself" was the answer. well"
said the corpse, ''if that is so I'll join
them, for Pm starving" The spell
was broken, and he sat down and ate
like forty famished men.

LOBSTER AND BUTTERFLY.
Widely Apart In Appearance, They Are
Close Relatives.

You would hardly think it to look at
them, yet the lobster is a relative of
the butterfly. The kinship is not mere
~ that of two members of the animal
kingdom. The lobster and the butter
fly are actually in one and the same
great group of the kingdom, like the
clam and the snail or the whale and
the giraffe, whose spheres of activity
are so widely separated.
1t is simply, as Darwin pointed out
in the case of all other creatures a
great many years ago, that the lobster,
and its friends, the crab, the prawn
and the shrimp, chose one method of
life. while the butterfly and its set
chose another.
So the first group developed charac-
teristics suited to the conditions in
which it lived. including as one of the
most important, as its members do
not move rapidly. coat Of armoE TO

great host of other winged insects

of danger and to protective coloring

availing.-London Family Herald.
