What counts for profit or loss!

What counts when times space is ended'
When clay neither struggles nor caiis'
When the feet stayed.
The record is made.
The hand lies still where il fails
What counts? Times onyx and sapphires'
Its emeralds and trophies of pearls,
The breadth of domain.

Or the triumphs gain

WALK AND RETAIN HEALTH.
Judicious Pedestrianism Is the Best
Exercise for All Classes.


Walking is the simplest, the most
natural and the most wholesome os
all exercises. No athlete ever trains
for a contest, no matter what It's ma
ture may be, without walking a con.
siderable distance in the open air
each day. Many keep in vigorous
health by this alone, and no matter
what other exercise YOU take you must
walk. But first of all, learn how to
walk. A great many people walk in
an aimless, shufling manner and Sc
cure but little benefit from the exer-
else. In walking for exercise the ef-
feet is better If the mind Is directed
toward some pleasurable end. Walk
with consciously directed movement
until you have brought every muscle
under perfect cont'ol of your will.
Moplng along in an ;imless, lackadaisi.
cal manner does little good physically
and harms one mentally.
The necessity Of maintaining n
proper, erect posi- ion of the body

In his article on THE Conquest of

Stannard Baker makes some very sur
prising statements in regard to the still
standing forests of North America, He
says.

stored up centuries before the begin

We hear much Of the magnitude of
western numbering operations. Truly
they are great and wonderful, and yet
so vast are the forests that men have
barely notched the edges. An eye that
could see the continent length would
hardly perceive the puny cuttings of
the few loggers among the great trees,
though he might see the blackened evil

SOLDIERS WHO COMMIT SUICIDE
Interesting Statistics Of t., Various

interesting STATISTICS OF IT, Various
Armies.
A French student has been inyesti-
eating the subject of suicides in the
armies of Europe, and has reached
some curious results. Everywhere,
except in Russia, the number of mill.
tary suicides is decreasing: in that
country, however, the average for
some years past has been 1873 in
every 100000. In France the proper.
ton now is is in 100000; in Italy. "a;
in Germany, SO, and in Austria 1O5 to
every 100000. In civil life in this
country the Germans provide the
largest proportion of suicides; it is
curious to find them surpassed in
Europe by the Austrian and Russian
soldiers.
The different arms of the services
commit suicide in differing proper.
tions. In the French army self.mur-
der is commonest among the men of
the Foreign Legion, of whom 80 in
100000 commit it yearly. and least
common among those of the Garde
Republicaine, only II of whom kill
themselves to each 100000. The
French cavalry provides more sui.
cides than does the Infantry, the in
fantry more than the artillery, and
the engineers the smallest number.
In the British army the suicide
rate is about 23 10 the 100000 at
