The above table indicates that in New
York city the proportionate increase in
suicide has been largest at ages l5-l9 and
that the increase at all ages above 35 has
been greater than at ages 20-34. The fact
most plainly shown is that there has been
an increase in suicides in New York city
at all ages from Is and over, and at ages
under is suicide is very seldom committed.

Man Who nTnke Reds.

Making beds is commonly considered
n woman's work, but there are never
theless quite n number of men who
follow bedmaking as a calling, finding
regular steady employment at this
work in many of the lodging-houses
for men. This is especially true of
those in New York City. For many
years all the bedmakers in these places
of many beds were men. For example,
in big lodgng-house, with from 400
to 500 beds, there is a bedmaker to
every floor, having perhaps ninety beds
TO make daily. Incidentally he sweeps
the floor and keeps it clean and in or
der. The bedmaker goes on duty at
6 a. m. and works until 6 p. m. The
bulk Of his work, however, is over by
5 p m. Some men bedmakers, like
women, make untidy beds, and some
not only quick but careful, and make
a bed that looks inviting. The pay
of the man bedmaker is small, and
commonly he sleeps in the house where
he is employed.

Missouri RlYcr Leaking.

Civil engineers and river men who
have been watching the course Of the
Missouri River for some time, endeav-
oring to account for the extremely low
stage OF water, believe that some sub
terranean waste of the waters that
were formerly drained by the Missouri
River is gradually lessening the volume
of water. What was once a mighty
stream is gradually dwindling until
now the river is so low that it has
much the appearance in places Of a
sluggish creek, with only narrow
stream Of water between its banks.
1t has been suggested that the open
ing Of artesion wells through the Da-
kotas and the great combined flow
Of these wells Is the cause Of the les
sened volume Of water in the river.

GOLF

The Bryn Mawr Golf club has arranged a
team match with the Faribault club, to be
played on the Bryn Mawr links on Memorial
Day. The Bryn Mawr team will be selected
after the handicap medal play next satur-
day afternoon. ......
The prospects for the formation of four
club golf league, to include the two Mime
apolis clubs (Minikahda and Bryn Mawr), and
the two lake clubs (Mnnetonka and La
fayette), are bright. The plan contemplate:
series of team matches between these foul
clubs, with possibly a tournament for indi
vidual prizes.
Heretofore team matches between the towr
and lake clubs have been difficult to arrange
because many of the best players of the LAKE
clubs were also members of the town or
CARNATIONS. OF late, however, a number Of
men who make their summer residence a
the lake have taken up the game. Most o
these men are not members Of the town clubs
and the lake organizations believe that the!
can pick teams which will hold their owl
against the town men. The project will b'
definitely settled at a meeting to be hell
within the coming fortnight. -

and, having added water, the king
drank 1t off. This was the alkali, and
the royal countenance expressed no
sign of satisfaction. 1t was then ex-
planned that in the combination of the
two powders lay the luxury, and the
twelve white powders were quickly dis
solved in water, and as eagerly swal
