The usual Turkish atrocities are 4

The usual Turkish atrocities are now
coming over the wires. A great deal
of this stuff must be taken with a
large grain of salt. Atrocities, when
committed, are generally carried out by
irregular troops. The Turkish regular
troops are no more blooL thirsty than
any other troops, but it suits certain
political parties in Europe to circulate
stories against them. Upon such mat
tiers the thrill of horror which went
through the world, when very cir
cumstantial account of the massacre at
the embassies in Picking, must not be
forgotten. It will be remembered that
the Russian ambassador was boiled in
a chaldrOn and the most sickening de-
tails were given, 1t must also be re-

The doctors won't let a man die com

permenter has found out that you can
kill dogs, and then bring them back to
the world, where they will not, play
round, bark and otherwise disport
themselves. He does not say how the
brains of the dog are affected, because
he does not know how. This resuscita-
tion business may be a very serious
thing. A man may die with the brain
of a college professor and return to life
with the brain of a college undergradu-

Few people appreciate how much
money is invested in theaterS in the
United States totally apart from the
amount invested in finery, theatrical
wardrObes etc, which must also be very
large. There are in all 2,1SS theaters
upon the mainland. The new theaters
in course of construction are estimated
to cost $1S,OOO,O00, New York is to have
one new theater costing 100000, one
costing s1,5OO,0OO, two costing $1,000 900
and nine from $750,OOO to $4,000 each,
the total amounting to SIS, 900 for that
one city. Boston, Pittsburg, Cincinnati
and Menominee, Mich are all erecting
$1,000 900 houses. San Francisco and
Los Angeles are to have each 100000
house. The total investment at pre-
sent through the states is $75,000,000 at
a very conservative estimate. The new
theaters will raise this. New York
State heads the list with 290 theaters,
Pennsylvania has 1872 Ohio ISL, Nevada
brings up the tail with 4. Seeing the
large investment, and the number of
people employed in various capacities,
the theatrical profession in the United
States is for more important than most
people think of.

A BIG HORNS DARING LEAP.
Huge Rocky Mountain Ram Clears
a P~recipice, AIdghting Safely

The man who tells of having been
forced to kill a deer out of season to
save himself from being run over by a
black tail has been indicated. Such
stories have always been put down as
merry jests over an infraction of the
game laws, or as f~ictions inspired by
the pipe, says the Denver Post.
But George W. Wilson, a Denver con-
tractor, vouches for an incident that

river across the range to irrigate the
land in the Poudre valley. Men have

of Cameron pass, between the head
waters of the Grand and the Cache la

Queen Victoria's Way,

The queens interest in and over
sight of public affairs did not cease
with the princes death, although, in
the first years of overwhelming sor-
row, it must have been difficult to carry
out her conception of duty. All i'm
portantresolutions were taken by her;
the personal notes in the Court Circu-
lar were written by her own hand,
and were seen by no one else. When
Sir Henry Ponsonby became the
queens private secretary, she said to
him: Remember this; no advice! /
am older than you are, and have had
more experience" In after years, his
torians, will have much to say upon
the queens personal share in the gov
eminent of her dominions. All her
papers have been most carefully pre-
served and arranged, and some day,
perhaps, will be accessible to the in
quirer. On the other hand, there is
not a single paper belonging to George
III. which is known to be in existence.

The king of England istaking means
to guard his home life. He is endeav-
oring to stop the publication of inter
views with chance visitors at Sandring-
ham or Windsor. He has intimated to
his friends that he is of the opinion
that the privacy of his home life should
be as sacred as that of the meanest of
his subjects. At a recent dinner the
king declared that he disliked all inter
views and personalities in the news
papers. The guests are supposed to
take the hint and, act accordingly.
One of Senator Lodges small stock
of stories relates to a member of the

A story of Sir Hiram Maxim is going
the rounds in England. 1t is said that
when he and Lady Maxim were staying
at a summer resort not long ago the
landlord of the hotel was somewhat
doubtful about the check offered in
payment of their bill. He knew the
name but not the face of the signer,
and Sir Hiram had not enough money
to pay the bill in cash. Lady Maxim
finally suggested that the proprietor
go to the pier, put a penny in acertain
slot and look. He saw a picture of Sir
Hiram Maxim firing a gun in the pres
ence of the shah of Persia and was
quite satisfied.
The majority of the great musical
composers had appetites on an equal

Handel that when he dined alone at a
restaurant he always took the precau-
tion to order the meal for three. Once
on asking: "1s de timer retty?" at a
restaurant, or a tavern, as it was then
called, where he was little known he
got the reply: "As soon as the com
pany comes" and astonished the wal
ter by seating himself with the re-
mark: "Den pring up de timer, I'md lie
company" The appetite of Haydn
was yet more voracious. He delighted
in dining alone, and always finished the
meal ordered for five persons.

MARRIAGE AND LONGEVITY,
Figures support the Theory That
MatrimOny Makes for Long Life
The Mortality Rates.

Scientific research iustifies the rule,
marry and live to ripe old age" After
a long experience with mortality ta-
bles, Mr.. Frederick l.. Hoffman, a
writer upon insurance subjects, demon
strates the influence of marriage on
longevity. Interesting figures show
thatthe mortality of marriedm males has
been considerably below the mortality
of single males at all ages, the differ
ence being most noticeable between
the age periods of As and GA years. Be-
tween those ages, roughly speaking,
three single men die to two married
ones, says the St. Louis Republic.
The record of females gives a result
favorable to married women. Although
their death rate is greater thanthatof
single women in the period between
Is and A years, after that period the
proportions are reversed in favor of
the married

deaths from consumption among sim

greater than those among married.
Above the age Of As the mortality of
the married in both sexes, from all
causes, is much less than of single peo-
pie. MI. Hoffman unhesitatingly con-
eludes that marriage makes for long
