KEEP YOUNG.

This rapid lowering of the death-rate
everywhere means an enormous change
in mankind in the near future. A few
centuries ago a mans useful years
were in the average no more than ff-
teen. As each generation has to be
taught everything over again. isNit not
astonishing that an average of only
fifteen years of real capacity-from
twenty-five to forty-should have been
able to lift us from savagery? Now
the average. at least among the most
competent classes, is upward of TWEEN
ty-flve years-for the ~death-rate is
heaviest among the ignorant and in
competent. In fact, taking superior ed
ucation into account, we have today a
race that has recently doubled its per-
iod for assimilating and applying
knowledge and wisdom. Think what
an effect will be produced when the av-
erage man lives in the prime of his
powers half a century, or sixty, or sew
enty years!
Teach the science of health! En-
courage the youth to leave Off folly for
manhood earlier! Encourage the old
to avoid stiffness and sadness and re-
gretful "reminiscences, and to keep the
head and the heart of intelligent, Wig
orous youth.-Saturday Evening Post.

for all time-is the opinion of both of
them.
Taking as a test the sacrifice of hu.
man life, it is significant TO note the
figures they gave DIR. Dillon, in the
Contemporary Review, does % hest
tate to say of the uprising in Odessa
that there were more men, women and
children killed in that one city in the
course of a single week than in all
France during the great revolution"
Prince Kropotkfn, in the Nineteenth
Century estimates that since January
last $4,000 persons have beer killed
in Russia.
To both of them the Russian reign
of terror is already vastly more terri
BILE than the terror of the French eve
luton. The revolutionary tribunal at
Paris. it Is estimated, sen about $500
persons to the g~uillotine. Suppose as
many more were beheaded in the prov
inces, Even making the most liberal
allowances, the Russian figures are not
approached. The significant difference
Is that the revolutionists executed
their enemies in France, whereas in
Russia the revolutionists are them
selves for the greater part the victims.
Both of the writers mentioned be-
llieve that only the beginning of the hor-
lrors has been made. Prince Kropotkin
fears "the bitterest of civil wars DR..
Dillon speaks of "the risk of civil war;
and fears that in a few weeks or
months masses of the people may
sweep over the land, crushing to
powder much that Russia would still
fain preserve and still more that she
can probably spare" The one blames
most the autocracy for Its actions in
the last few weeks, the other seems
to blame most the liberal leaders. AS
DR.. Dillon says, ''the glove has already
heen thrown down"-it matters not
who threw it-"and If the masses pick
it up and accept the challenge, the
words revolution and '%jacquerie' will
acquire a meaning almost specifically
different from any they have yet had
in the history of the blind rage and
cruel frenzy of peoples"
Terrible as the prospect is, Prince
nropotkin's final word of hope should
not be overlooked. "Autocracy," he
holds. lies mortally wounded and will
not revive. And other victories will

ROLLING IN WEALTH.

State Examiner Harry h. Henderson
gives out the information that there is
now on deposit in Wyoming banks $40
each for every man, woman and child
in Wyoming. This is said to be a
greater per capita deposit than that Of
any other state, 1t Is certainly a re-
markable showing, and indicates in the
clearest possible manner the fact that
Wyoming is at high tide in a business
way.
But the future appears to have even
better things in store. Wyoming is
Just entering upon an era of railway
building that will astound the nation.
Three great roads are either building
or soon will begin building lines across
the state, while a fourth has already
let a contract for the construction of
more than seventy miles of double
track.
The outlook for the sheep industry
next year Is even better than it was
this. Wool Is being contracted at 90
cents per pound and the crop will be
a big one, while the price of lambs and
sheep generally shows no signs of low
ering. There is another strong proba-
bility in store. Many of our ranchmen
have sold off their cattle and invested
in sheep, thus diminishing the number
of cattle owners. This movement has
been of such magnitude that It is con-
fdently predicted that the price of
cattle will be materially affected there
by, thus giving all Of our stockmen an
opportunity to reap a greater reward
than they have in the past.
Again,th money the government will
spend in Wyoming during the coming
year upon he irrigation projects of
Wyoming will bring an amount of cash
to the workingmen of such magnitude
that 1t will have an appreciate affect
upon every section of the common
wealth. Aside from the expenditure of
cas- these projects will begin to fur
nish homes for many new settlers, who.
will add to our wealth and population.
With the brains, the Drawn and the
money to do things, Wyoming will
keep right in the a of progress.

FAMILY NOW WARNING.

The anarchistic conditions In Russia
have reached the imperial family and
there is war within. One of the grand
dukes, Boris, recently drew his sword
upon the car and for this act has been
temporarily ordered out of Russia.
From an eye witness the correspond
ent of the London Daily News has OBJ
tanned an authentic account of the in
cidents which recently gave rise to the
report that the car had been wounded
in a personal encounter with Grand
Duke Boris.
On Thursday, Nov. 80, says the cor
respondents informant, the car order
ed hat from his private purse an asy-
lum be built for the orphans of victims
of Bloody Sunday when many peace
full workingmen were shot down by the
troops in st. Petersburg. Grand Duke
Vladimir. who was in chief command
of the troops, regarded this as a per-
sonal slur upon him. The same day
Valdimir's son, Grand Duke Boris, re-
preached the czar for having sacrificed
family interests for his own political
interests, ding: THE grand dukes
are now ruined"
The car replied that the mismanage,
ment and malifeasauce of the grand
dukes, together with the VIGOROUSLY
scandalous lives which they led, had
brought about the present troubles,
while Grand Duke vladimir's orders %
the troops on January 22 last to shoot
down the workingmen under Father
Gapons leadership has precipitated
and was the actual cause of the revolu,
ton.
Grand Duke Boris retorted angrily,
calling the car a backboneless Great
ure. Thereupon Grand Duke Michael,
the cars brother, who was present,
struck Boris who, in a furious rage,
drew his sword, out Grand Duke Nicho-
las, who has succeeded Grand Duke
Vladimir at the head of the st. Peters
burg garrison, stopped the melee. The
matter ended by Grand Duke Boris be
