 h previous years n England the greatest number of suicides occurred among old s2llicGs, bat since the condi- tions of the sc-vice were c,.oDged the number Of young suicides increased in the army T. France, Italy, Germany and Austria most of the suicides are young soldiers; in Austria especially mostly recruits commit suicide in the in the first few months of their joining the army.
 Soldiers serving q tern Of inprison- ment seldom coarlt solf-lcstruction, but they commit t mostly when other disciplinary measures are applied to them.
 The perferred means of suicide is, among the foCt soldiers, the use of fire arms, while cavalrynen in most cases use tho moose or cut their throats. The suicides uai1E firearms for their pur- pose generally shoot thcrasclvcs in the head. The native Algcriaas form an exception to this rl1l2, because disGrlIr- ing the head is considered q great sin amoEg thc Arabs. They direct the ball to the heart. Tn the summer season suicide by drowning occurs very often among the soldiers.
 The cause ot suicide ia the army is, in most cases, fesr Of p1nishrnent, but in the Austrian all Russian armies aversion to the railitary service or rude treatment ProvolScs many soldiers to self-dcstruction.

Ed Rirers of 1Torooeo.

Among the noteworthy things Dr. Oscar Lenz saw when he travelled through Morocco a while ago were two little rivers that once Q year, at the time of the greatest heat, are filled with red water. It is supposed the color comes either from q strata of red clay through which the streams may pass, or from myriads Of little red organisms. Another curious stream was q large creek with waters almost as salt as those of the ocean. This creek comes from great beds of salt, of which it car ries off a very considerable quantity in solution. In the dry season the creek bed is exposed and IS found to De cov- cred with thick incrustration of salt.

The Mountains of central Asia.

A traveller, who has crossed the mountainous Pamir in Central Asia, says mountain scenery there is quite different from mountain scenery in Switzerland and Caucasia, where. when the eye is tired of resting on the grand ice scenery above, it finds pleasant change by turning to the green pastures and the forests below. In Central Asia, however, although the mountains are higher, the glaciers, owing to the puny snowfall, are much smaller, while be- low the mountains, instead of verdant fields and forests, is picture of utter desolation that would be hard to match in any other part of the world. The country at the base of the mountains is so high above the sea that vegetation is very scanty, and the plains are most forbidding in aspect.

! Msn,,noth Chute.

One of the longest logging chutes in America, if not the longest, is that near Clifton, Ore, which is three-quarters of a mile in length, and was built in 1880 at a cost of sixty thousand dollars. For a considerable distance the bottom is lined with iron. It takes a log just twenty seconds to travel down the in- cline. If the log happens to get caught in the chute near the bottom and is fol lowed by a larger one, the force of the concussion is such that it splinters both into matchwood. When the log plunges into the river, t sends a spopt of water two hundred feet into the air.

The Average Woman.

How many who use the term "aver- age woman" asks the Chicago Times, know what it implies? Physically, it means that she weighs about IF pounds, and that, if an American, she is somewhat taller than five feet one inch. Observa- tions taken by the French academy rel ative to the average height of 1,107 Frenchwomen, without shoes, show it to be that much Dr. Sergeant, from 1885 observations, concludes that the American woman is nearly two inches taller than the average daughter of France; and Dr. Galton, an English man, in TO measurements, found that the women of Great Britain are the tall est of the three, they exceeding Miss Columbia by fully half an inch. In the matter of weight, though, American femininity is slightly ahead, though the figures are not gwen.

Last of the Waterloo Soldiers.

The last of the British officers who fought under Wellington at Waterloo died at Southampton in October. Lieut.
 Col. William Hewett, late of the rifle brigade, who was born at Parllhurst, in the Isle of Wight, OF the 2d of July, 1795, spent the declining years of his life in Southampton, ministered to by his daughter. A question arose after the death of Col Whichcote as to how many survivors of the great epoch making battle remained, and it was ascertained beyond the possibility of Q doubt that Col. Hewett was the only one. In June, 1915, Col. Hewett was already a captain, and the late Lord AIbemarle served under him as a sub altren. He also took part in Sir James Saumarez's Baltic expedition, and was with the British army which suffered so severely in it's retreat through the Netherlands across the frozen Scheldt

THE NEW TAX Law.

The new tax law before the state
legislature is u departure in some re-
spects from any former system. More
care particularly in assessing, the pro-
lection of personal interests by boards
OF review, the old system of sales by
advertisement instead of chancery pro-
cess an equal shae Of responsibility
of carrying delinquent taxes by state
and county are some of the features.
One novel thing is the state takes
deeds of lands bid off to it, holds the
lands for actual settlers as homestads
after they .lnvc been delinquent for
more than five years. This provision
will prevent the accumulation of taxes
year after year upon poor worthless
lands, rs they will not be assessable to
the state.
The bill has the approval of many Of
the best lawyers in the state, and
while not radically changing the system
is comprehensive and easy OF operation.
1t reduces the present rate OF interest,
charges and penalties one half thus
making it an object to even the rich to
paw taxes rather than abandon the land.

MADE A RICH GOLD FIND.

Que of the ricnest gold strikes even
made in the Baker City, On, section oi
the country, not excepting the famous
White Swan mine, which is yielding
81 900 per day with q ten-stamp mill,
was Il recovered Thursday. The lucky
finders are James and Samuel Baisley.
The latter was one OF the discoverers
of the Whit Swan. The new find is
situated about three miles south of the
White Swan and Virtue mines. Over
$1,000 in god was pounded out
Thursd,y in II hand mortar. The
ledge in Which this pocket has been
found has been uncovered 160 feet and
proves to- be II pay chute for that dis
tance and varies in width from two to
ten feet. There is enough rich ore in
sight to make the owners an immense
fortune. The city is greatly excited
over the find and people are constantly
leaving to stake ont claims. A sample,
weighing ten pounds and containing
over 500 in gold, has been placed on
exhibi ion at the National Bank and
has been viewed by hundreds of peo-
pie. All say it is the greatest find
ever made IN the northwest, and from
all indications the motherhood of the
Virtue and White Swan district has
been found.

RED LAKE ESERPATION.

An interesting topic of discussion
among local lumbermen is the open
ing OF the Red Lake Indian reserva-
ton, the probable amount o, valuable
pine timber upon it and the change in
the corps of pine estimators about to be
made by Land Commissioner
Lamoreaux. Any comfy map of Min
nesota shows the Red Lake reservation
lying chiefly in Beltrami county, but
including portion of four other con-
tiguous counties. Tie territory is
many times larger than is necessary for
the wants of the Indian bands upon it,
but it is not. as is popularity supposed.
to be entirely sold for public settle
ment. A diminished reservation has
been mapped out, beginning ut point
where the Clearwater river cuts the
west boundary of the reservation in Polk
county. Running up this river to %
point about.15 miles south of the lake a
line is drawn about this distance from
the south aud east shores of the lake.
Then line is run directly west through
the northern part of the north twin
lake to Thief river, little north of its
confluence with the Red lake river.
This leaves to the Indians almost the
entire body of the lake, which. by the
way. is next to Lake Michigan, the
largest body of fresh water wholly
within the United States. The DIM
inisheds reservation contains 36 towns
or about 1900 square miles.
The corps of estimators under Otis
Staples began their work of estimating
standing pmeIon the south bank of
Clearwater where that stream crosses
the western boundary, and covered 36
townships or fractions thereof. This
includes all the land to be opened to
the public south and southwest of the
lake. Only the eastern six of these
townships contain any considerable
pine, though within them and adjoin-
ing townships, is q considerable fine
cedar. There is but little hardwood
of value for numbering purposes, and
that grows along the banks of the
Clearwater. The western portion of
the territory examined consists of good
lands for farming purposes, much of it
as fine prairie as can be found in the
Red river valley. South of the lake
poplar. scrub oak, tamarack and old
burned over pine lands prevail. With
in the diminished reserve, along the
south side of the lake near the agency
is as fine belt of pine timber rs can be
found in the state. This is held for
the use of the Indians. Mr.. Staples
cannot tell the nature of the timber on
the remainder of the reservation. but
from what data he can gather, he
thinks there is much good pine to the
east of the lake. But in the territory
stretching for many miles north of the
lake there is little hut tamarack
swamps and low marshy lands of little
value for any purpose. Through this
section there is vast territory unsurA
veyed and unexplored, tract as large
as five of the ordinary southern
OF the state. Northwestern

FINISHED ITS WORK.

After an interesting session lasting
four 6cys, during which vast amount
ofimportant business was tranacted,
the fifth session of the Trans-Missis-
sippi Commercial congress adjourned
sine die last evening. 1t was happy
conception on the part Of the origi-
nator Of the idea Of bringing this
body of representative men to Utah,
great educators, and the people of the
United Staes needed to be educated
concerning the people Of this terri
tary and also in regard to it's bound
less resources and infinite possibil-
tiles, to the end that justice may be
done by dispelling the fog of misrep-
resentation which has for such great
length Of time obscured the real facts
Of the moral, social and political
status Of affairs here. The effect
which the work of this congress will
have upon the minds Of the Ameri-
can people must necessarily be good.
The action taken by the distinguished
gentlemen from abroad, who COM
posed a majority Of the delegates to
the congress, will have a tendency to
allay any doubts ard fears which a
majority Of the people Of the United
States may have had in the past,
concerning the desirableness of Utah
Us place Of residence, and for the
safe and profitable investment Of
capital in the many legitimate enter
prises upon whose development de-
pend the growth and prosperity of the
country and the happiness of the in
habitants. Taken all in all, we do
declare that no other event which
has occurred in Utah during all the
years that have passed has been so
fraught with blessings to the people
as that which we are now consider
ing. The people Of Utah will ever
bear in grateful remem brance the
kind words spoken aad the noble and
uEselfish acts performed in their be-
half by the visitors from our sister
States and Territories. We are glad
that they came, glad that they were
agreeably surprised ut what they
heard and saw, glad that they were
entertained, glad that they are we'll
pleased with their visit, aud We wish
them safe journey to their homes
and cordially invite them to come and
see US again.-Ogden Standard.

Between the daybreak and the Gun,
Between what's doing and undone,
'Twixt what is lost and what is won,
The span Of life we see;
Between tho thinking and the deed,
Between the asking and the need,
'Twixt those who follow and those
who lead,
I find myself and thee.
Between our hope which shines afar
Against LIES sky like some bright
star,
And fate's most stern, relentless bar,
All joys and woes exist;
So, il our lives, which seem so bright,
Should be obscured by some dark
night,
Remember there's brighter light
