LIEUTENANT'S REMAINS.
Found Thirty-Two Years After His Death
 in Battle With Indiana.

Denver Cor New York Sun: For ant Fred H. Beecher of Forsyths Scouts, were buried in the sands of the Arickare. All that time has left has now been recovered and will be sent to Brooklyn relatives, for whom the search was made. Previous eff forts to locate the last resting place of the officers who fell in that desper- ate encounter with the Cheyenne h. dians under Roman Nose were fruit less. A fe" years after the Lieuten- ants death an unsuccessful search was made under the direction of his uncle, Henry Ward Beecher The story of the bravery of General Forsyth's little band of scouts has been told many times and the naming of the sandy isle at the mouth of the Arickare after Lieutenant Beecher will always recall this fight, famous in Colorado history, and almost parallel to that of the Lit tie Big Horn. General Forsyth, Lieu tenant Beecher and forty-seven men were ounded in 1887 by nearly 100O HIu ns They defended them selves as best they cou at a place that has since been named Beeeher island. Two men, Charles Christy and Fletcher Vilotte, got through the In dian lines and finally brought relief. Lieutenant Beecher was fatally wounded and died half an hour after being shot. Christy and Vilotte form ed part of the burying squad. They Were present at the dedication of monument on Beecher island recently and found the grave in which Beecher was buried.
 Lieut.. Frederick Henry Beeeher was a son of Rev. Charles Beeeher and nephew of Rev. Henry Ward Beeeher. Lieut.. Beecher was born at New Or leans, June P, 1S41. He was gradu- ated at Bowdoin in 1862 and immedi- ately enlisted as a private in the vol unteer army. He was in all the bat ties of the Army of the Potomac from Fredericksburg to Gettysburg, was twice severely wounded and was pro- noted to the rank of first lieutenant. In 1864 he received commission in the regular army and in July. 1866, be= came first lieutenant in the Third United States infantry.

NEW ZEALAND MOOSE.
Attempt to Acelima tize Canadian Big
 Game in the AntiDodez.

Game in the Antipodes
 Canadian moose and caribou are not only being extensively hunted this season by sportsmen from all parts of the world, but by special permission of the authorities, live specimens of these species of North American large ga are being shipped to various foreign countries. A large oonsign- ment of moose has lately been sent to New Zealand. About year ago the government of New Zealand decided to attempt to acclimatize the North American moose there and entered into correspondence with the Cana dian government. The authorities of Ottawa promised to assist the project and with the help of C. C. Chipman chief commissioner of the Hudson Bay company, thirteen baby moose, none of them more than few weeks old, were got together in the Lake Manitoba country. These were hand reared for six or eight m IS on chopped food fresh fruit, vegetables, ClN', SpSNIdl CdlS DelHS ldhtn tO < | them sufficiently tame for the long voyage that was before them. The railroad company from Portage Ia Prairie to the Pacific coast was about 1,600 I les, and they were embarked on boaId the steamsh Aorangi for sea voyage of a month to the An tipodes.
 Four very fine specimens of New fo9ndland caribou were re 7 sent from St. Jol a's to the National Zoo logical parks al Washington. They were shipped by United States Consul Carter at St. Johns on board the steamship Sylvia. bound for New York. They were caught when quite young by George Nichols at Deer Pond and were so docile that they would foIloa.

FOR SLEEPLESS ONES.
Darkness the Proper Time for Refreshing
 Sleep,


 The old tradition that the hours oi sleep before midnight are hours ol beauty sleep" means only that ldt0 hours take away beauty. Ihousahuo of night workers will testify that elshl hours of sleep from 10 to Is Worth ten hours taken after retiring at o'clock in the morning. Darkness ia the proper time for the sleep that does the most good. It is not well to sleep in a room in which plants are grow ing Their food is carbonic acid gas. If they can live there the room Is bad place for you to sleep in. Bes1deS' plants use up q good deal Of oxygen and give off ef1iuyia and pollen irrltat- ing to the human system. The sound- est sleep is during the first three or four hours after going to bed. This has been ascel tained by scientific eX- pertinent. though most people thlnk they sleep soundest just before the time when conscience tells them to get up. Insomia often comes from over eating. A little dieting may do more good than lot of doctors preserlp- tions More persons suffer from over eating than from oyerwofking. Long deep breathing kept up as long as pos sible by will power is the most 2 IT. orally recommended remedy for occd- sional sIeeplessness. The main aim i'll such cases is to keep the mind from thinking. This is sometimes accom- plished by the strain of keeping the eye fixed on some point in the ceiling or keeping the will fixed on the effort not to move even the smallest muscle. Monotony will put any man to sleep in spite of himself. Most psychologists acknowledge that deep study of any subject just before going to sleep may result in something like revelation as to some phase of the subject. the mind through unconscious cerebeatiOn accomplishing wonders without the as sistance of the will.

DOGS WEAR SHOES.
Alaskan Animals hold Up Feet to Have
 Shoes Pat On.

In Alaska shoes for dogs have been introduced The use of shoes for animals in the far north country is not merely out of kindness to the dogs. It is a matter of necessity, for one of the greatest dangers to travellers in Alaska is that the dogs which draw sledges or transport goods freeze their feet by contact with the ice. This sometimes renders the animals practi- cally useless and leaves the traveller without means of transit over the fields of ice. Before the introduction of the shoes it was the custom to wrap the feet of the dogs in cloth, but this was a poor measure at best, as the cloths often came off, leaving the poor beasts unprotected. The cloths also interfered with the free locomotion of the dogs Since the gold fields opened more dogs have been used and great speed in travel has become necessary. The dogs shoe was invented to meet the requirements. The lacings are at the back to give free play to the dog 8 legs. The wonderful intelligence of these faithful animals is shown by their readiness in taking to the shoes. They become so accustomed to them that they are uneasy without them On the trail the dogs have frequently been known to come to the driver in the morning and hold out their legs to have their shoes put on. If the shoes happen to be laced too tight, they will whine and make their dis comfort manifest, wagging their tails for joy when the baces are fixed to their liking

The Know-It-Au Turns Un.

As is customary after such things, 1t has been discovered that a seer knew all along that King Humbert was to be slain. Attention has been drawn to book of horoscopes published in Paris in 1SS5. in which July %. 1900. was predicted as the date pfeordained for King FIHmbort of Italy to die This was tie date of his murder. This sibyl drew horoscopes of other sovereigns with equal eXaetness, though their ae- curacy is yet to be tested. March }. 1907, is the date assigned for the death of the king of the Belgians. while the Emperor of Austria is to live until February q, 1911. when he will be an octogenarian.-New York Press.

LIVING EXPENSES.
Provisions Are Cheaper Now Than They
 Were Thirty Years Ago,

were IhItty Years Ago,
 The interesting disclosure is made that the cost of living is less in the United States today than it was in the 1S60 Carefully compiled statistics show that articles costing $100 then cost $75 now. 1t is true that a few things are more expensive, but con- modities consumed generally by fam lilies, such as breadstuffs, sugar, rice, salt, woolen and cotton goods, boots and shoes, and silk and rubber goods, are considerably cheaper now than they were thirty years ago. Ali manu- factured goods, with hardly an eXcep- tion, are cheaper, mainly because of improved processes of manufacture which enable the maker to reduce the cost to the lowest point, says Leslie's Weekly. The development of our vast arabic territory in the west, north west and southwest, and the striking results of irrigation, when applied to what were formerly considered desert lands, have increased our crop sup plies more rapidly than the increase of population Despite the dire predic- tions that prices of wheat, corn and cotton must inevitably advance be- cause little land remained to be culti- vated in the west and south, the fact is that millions of acres are still await ing tillage. In Texas alone an area almost as extensive as that of the original thirteen states is virgin soii. The emigrant may have to go farther and work harder to establish home stead in the United States, but Uncle Sam is still rich enough to give every ablebodied, industrious newcomer chance to own a farm.

CHINESE EDUCATION.
No Learning for Learnings Sake in
 China.

China.
 The California Sehoomasters' Club banqueted at the California Hotel last evening, about fifty members being present, says the San Francisco Call. Benjamin Ide Wheeler, president of the California University acted as toast master, and the feature of the evening was the address by Prof John Fryer Of the University of California, who spoke on Chinese Education Prof. Fryer spent twentysix years in the Orient during which time he gave great deal of attention to the study of Chlnas educational system. Prof. Fryer has a good deal to say in it's support. The ancient form is still followed to con siderable extent. Chinese education, he said, may well be regarded as one of the greatest lights of Asia if not the greatest. It's influence upon the gov ernment is wonderful. The sole ob. ject of Chinese education is to pre- pare candidates for examination for positions of official rank. There is no learning for learnings sake Every scholar who studies does so with one end in yiew-that of attaining a posi- tion of official or political frank. The fact that China has been the largest empire for the longest period of years is due very largely to the country's pe- culiar form of education.

Molten Wood in France.

Molten wood is a new invention by MT. de Gall, inspector of forests at Lemur, France By means of dry dis tillation and high pressure the escape of developing gases is prevented, there by reducing the wood to a molten con dition. After cooling off the mass assumes the character of coal - yet without showing a trace of the organic structure of that mineral. This new body is hard. but can be shaped and polished at will; is imperyious to water and acids, and is a perfect elec- trical conductor. Great results are expected from this new discovery United States Consular Reports.
