A Merry Suicide.

The suicide mania is making great raw
ages in the Austrian army. Shortly
after the death of the crown prince an
officer of the Prince of Wales hussars
blew his brains out. A few days ago the
colonel of the Sixty-second regiment of
the line shot himself in Hungary. But
one of the most extraordinary cases Of
suicide on military record is now report
cd from Klausenberg. Lieut.. Mangesius,
one of the most popular officers Of the
garrison, proceeded on Saturday TO tho
barracks, where his company was quar-
tered, and was observed to be absent
minded and depressed. He went into
q room where number of the new mag
azine rifles were kept, and loaded one Of
them with bullet. He then called in
two men. Addressing ono of them he
said: Take this rifle and let us SEQ il
you can aim properly. Point at my left
eye" The soldier had no idea the wea-
pom was loaded, and, obeying tho words
of command, make ready" Present."
Fire" he discharged the rifle at n dis
tance of three yards into the officers eye.
The bullet went through his skull, and
death was, of course, instantaneous. lie
left letter for his captain saying that
the soldier who shot him was innocent.

Japan's National Flower.

II Is rather shock to admirers OF

connection between the lovely combina-
tions of delicate color and shape is diff
cult to imagine, but since we are relia-
bly, Informed that powder made
from them which kills all sorts Of disa-
greeable chronological specimens of
hand, we must accept the fact, even
though we abhor tho idea. The effective
ness of the chrysanthemum in driving
out or destroying insects may be the
reason that it has been chosen as the
national flower of Japan. If all reports
are true. the greatest domestic trouble
the japanese have is in keeping their
dwellings, free from the many legged
atoms that make life hardly worth the
living 1t is only natural, then, that
they should honor the plant that is Of
such great service TO them In this re-
spect AS for us. we will use other

We will apply Paris green to our potato

their case. ut least. cannot afford TO
sacrifice beauty for mere commonplace
utility. .-Pittsburg Bulletin.

The Captains Prayer.

Capt. Van Etten is nothing If not sem
sational His trip to Bismarck overland
on lecture tour attracted the attention
of the entire country and his vote upon
all measures is given with a thunder clap
spontanoity that arouses the surrounding
country for miles. The captain did not
go to Grand Forks. While the majority
of the Dakota legislators went whirling
away to the Red River valley he and q
number of the other hard working mem-
beis remained in Bismarck and on Satur-
day held session which was made
memorable in many ways. Among
events of the day was Capt. Van Etten's
prayer Qhe official chaplain being abb
sent), which comes to us as follows:
80 Lord, bless this house. OF course
as can be seen by careful obeervations
there are not many Of US here, the ma
jority having gone on junketing to
Grand Forks. o Lord, thou knowest
their motives in going. II 1t is In the
best interests of the country (which
seems very doubtfuD thou wilt bless
them, but If it is for the pleasures Of
this world, do with them what seemest
best. o Lord, save us all at Last

the earnest captains prayer. but it is as
the words are reported to us. The cap

A Colorado Wonder.

hunting trip in Kansas and Colorado
with friend, went to tho ranch Of
Charles KRIS, about FIVE miles southwest
Of Grenada. Colo, beside deep gulch.
where away down flows tributary to
the Arkansas river. KRIS readily gave
them shelter for the night, remarking
that it was seldom that guests ever called
in that lonely place. He told them also
that seven years before this he had lived
on the Pecos river, at tho foot Of noun
tain spur, herding cattle, and one day
large bear entered the chicken coop and
his wife ran 10 the rescue. She got such
fright that she was sick for several
months. and then they moved to their
present home. Mrs. KRIS gave birth to
q child shortly after, which was never
known to have been seen by any one.
The visitors heard strange noises which
seemed to emanate from closed closet.
They also heard Mrs. KRIS singing and
asked KRIS If he had any childr n. He
then said: 81 will show you a curiosity,
but you must never breathe it." He
then showed them a child three feet
high, weighing forty pounds and a COM
pound of human being, bear and chicken.
Its head was like that Of bear, but its
eyes were those Of human and its ears
were combination of human and bear,
as were its mouth and chin. There was
n full growth Of soft hair over the face,
head and neck. In place Of arms it had
feathered wings. The mother loves it
dearly, and will not permit it to be ex-
hibited. Kansas City Times.

According to recent reports Of the ma

years still continues, stimulated no doubt
10 some extent by the low value OF cat
tie. There is also an improvement in
quality IA well as an increase in num-

breeds are popular and in demand for
draught horses In the territories horses
are found to be thrifty and profitable
stock for the range, and the establish
ment Of horse ranches has increased
their numbers.
Tho total increase appears 10 be nearly
half million, of which the heaviest
ratios are in the territories and in Texas,

slight increase in mules. and the num-
Der of cattle Of all kinds exceeds the csti-
