MUDERER,s CONFESSION

Our readers will rember the murder
committed near Garrison when Gole's
circus visited Montana and that the
perpetrator of the deed has never been
punished.

after made the following statement to a

who threw his coat over the flames,

OLD LIBRARIES.

The three oldest consulting libraries
in the United States are those of Har-
ward, Yale, and the New York society.
Harvard college began its career with
library which was part of the be-
quest from John Harvard, but in 1884
fire totally destroyed it's accumula-
tions of 1876 years. Yale college began
its collections in 1900, and was aided
thirty-three years later by the bequest
of 1000 volumes from Bishop Berkeley;
yet in 1854 it amounted to only 1000
volumes The New York society's Ii
brary, now containing $4,000 volumes,
was founded in 1900, but did not take
this name until 1854.
The fourth oldest library is that in
Philadelphia founded by Benjamin
Franklin and his friends in 1871. The
library has now over 100000 volumes,
and in some respects is unsurpassed by
any other collection of books in the
country. Its income is about $4,000
year, of which a third only is avail
able for the purchase of new books,
yet it attempts, with much success, to
do the same kind of public service
that is accomplished by the Boston
public library, whose income is $125,-
900.

Professor Topinard concludes, in his
new work on anthropology, that there
are only two types-the blonde and
the dark; that the other so-called
types-yellow and red in particular
can only in very minor degree serve
to distinguish races, and that color as
rule is an uncertain character, liable
to alter in individuals and difficult to
determine and express. AS a conces-
sion, however, to the general practice,
he gives a table of classification of
races by their color under the three
denominations-white, yellow and
black.

RECOVERY OF LOST TREASURE.-In
February last a Spanish mail steamer.
named the Alfonso XII, belonging to
Lopez Line, bound from Cadiz to
Havana. sank off Point Gando, Grand
Canary, in 259 fathoms of water and
about mile off shore She had on
board treasures valued at $5OO,OOO The
underwriters who had insured this
treasure organized a salvage expedi-
ton, which was despatched to the
scene of the wreck in May last, under
the superintendent of Capt. Stevens.
Recently a telegram was received iu
London from that gentleman as fol
lows: Lambert has got both scuttles
open, and has got into the magazine.
The boxes of gold are there" Lambert
is one of the three divers employed with
the expedition, and it is hoped soon to
hear that the gold has been sent to the
surface. If successful, this salvage will
have been from depth of water ex-
ceeding $50 feet.

The EngliShman, of Calcutta, states
that the experiment made by Mr.. J C.
Douglas, who has imported hive of
Italian bees, has been crowned with
complete success The bees appear to
thrive admirably at Calcutta and
have yielded during the present season
eighty pounds of splendid honey.
this is considered to be proof that a
lucrative industry may be established
in India, and new dainty placed at
the disposal of teeming millions of it's
land cultivators. 1t is feared that this
exultation is premature. The expert
ment of establishing bees in countries
of perpetual summer has been tried be-
fore now, and has failed signally. For
time the bees work diligently, and
lay up rich stores of honey for their
winter food. But so soon as the bee
discovers that there is no winter, and
that from years end to years end the
flowers offer him a daily supply of nee
tar, he ceases to store up honey. In
deed, did the bee do otherwise he
would forfeit much of his title to our
respect as an industrious and thrifty
creature. Did he labor as he does,
ceaselessly and earnestly, for no other
purpose than to store up honey for
which he can never have any use,
he would show himself to be but an
idiotic kind of insect, and in no way
superior in moral status to the human
miser.

SOME COMFORT AND 10Y.

Some interesting statistics of the
worlds population have just been pub
lished which contain tidings of COM
fort and joy to the fair sex 1t appears
that women have greater tenacity of
life than men. Nature very properly
worships the female in all its varieties.
Among insects the male perishes at a
relatively earlier period. Female
quadrupeds have more endurance than
males. In the human race despite the
intellectual and physical strength of
the man, the woman endures longest
and will bear pain to which the strong
est man succumbs. Zymotic diseases
are more fatal to males, and more male
children die than female. The proper
ton dying suddenly is one woman to
seven men. One thousand and eighty
men in the United States in 1870 COM
mitted suicide to 2S5 women. Intem-
perance, apoplexy, gout, affections of
the heart and liver are more fatal to
males than females. Pulmonary con-
sumption is more deadly to the latter.
All old countries, not disturbed by EN-,
igration, have a majority of females.
Royal families show more daughters
than sons. The Hebrew woman is ex-
ceptionally long lived, the colored man
exceptionally short The marriage
state is favorable to prolongation of
life among women.
