Young Women of Botse, Idrho, Have Organization a ad Choone Victims by Lot. Boise, Idaho, has a fully organized suicide club. That it is ready for busi- ness and has already transacted con- siderable business is shown by the fact that at least three of its members have “shuffled off” by the suicide route with- in a period of as many months. The fact of the existence of the organ- ization became known to the police in an investigation into the death of Grace Ashton, its latest victim. She died from morphine poisoning on a third attempt at suicide, both of her previous attempts having been frustrated through season- able discovery by friends. Another young woman friend of Miss Ashton attempted suicide by taking poi- son, but recovered, and it was through her that the existence of the club was made known. The club is regularly or- ganized with a strong membership—all young women—and holds meetings at It transpires that at each meeting a new victim ts chosen by lot, who is to “pass off” before the time for the next meeting by one of the usual methods adopted in such cases, the par- ticular mode being optional with the can- didate. Philippine Positions Not Wanted. Positions in the Philippines seem to go begging. Several months ago Col. Edwards, chief of the insular bureau, called upon the civil service commis- sion to certify candidates for 150 teachers’ positions paying from $2,000 to $900 per annum. There were few applicants, fewer took the examina- tion, and only 42 were found eligible for appointment. Another examina-| tion wili, therefore, be held early in October. The insular bureau will not permit women to take the examina- tion for these positions, and the du- ties or pay of pedagogue do not seem to appeal to the young men of the country.

Many Proverbs Credited to Good Boek Which Are Not in It-Some Notable Lnstances, There are scores of wise saws, all containing more or less of truth, which are almost universally supposed to be in the Bible which cannot be found in its pages. One of the chief of these sentences is: “He tempers the wind to the shorn lamb." You would search the Bible pretty thoroughly before you would find that sentence in it. Where sou-would find-it-wowld-be-in-Sterne’s. ‘Sentimental Journey.” Sterne gets a good deal of praise for the origination of this sentence, 8 the Chicago Chronicle. but it was hated, as a matter of fact, be- fore he was born, In a collection of French proverbs published in 1594 we fir “Dieu mesure le vent a la brebis tondue.” That convicts Sterne of plagiarism, “In the midst of life we are in death"—everybody thinks that is in the Bible. It isn't, though; it is in the burial service, “That he who runs may read.” This is another sentence supposed, wrong- ly, to be Biblical. It is not Biblical though the Bible has something very like it—namely: That he may run that readeth,” “Prone to sin as the sparks fly up- ward.” The Bible nowhere contains those words. “A nation shall be born in a day.” The nearest thing to that in the good book i “Shail a nation be born at on OPIUM IN DIVERSE FORMS. Devotes¢ Drug Choose Various Waya of Obua ing Most Com Customers of opium ure not all of the same kind. There are slaves of the pipe, siaves of the s and slaves of the powder that is swallowed to give sur- ccase of pain or of mental worry. There are those who take the drug in the form of a medicinal preparation, such as laud- anum, paregoric and the extract of lauda- num; those who smoke it and inhale the fumes into the lungs, and those who take hypodermic injections of morphia. The second class—the smokers—comprises the largest number of victims, Dr. Jeliffe, of the New York city hos- pital, estimates that fully 30,000 people in that city are addicted to the opium habit in some form. The anunal sale of opium in Vermont is equivalent, ac- cording to the doctor, toa grain for every adult in the state, an amount obviously far greater than can be accounted for by its consumption for medicinal purposes. Some slaves to the drug take it regu- larly every day; others have periodical sprees similar to those of the alcohol drinker, Latest Sea-Serpent Story. A recent sea-serpent story coming from England tells how a marine monster apparently tried to swallow the good ship Glengrant, of Fraser- burgh. At the first onslaught it hfted the vessel “at least six feet” as it dived underneath her, but, fortunately, when it came on again the only sailor man who kept his head dashed below and got a gun. It is not known wheth- | er he hit it; at any rate, the monster had had enough and cleared off. The | of sailors say this serpent was nearly 200 feet in length, with a head like & seahorse, a long mane, great green, | glistening eyes and an enormous mouth and teeth. Positions for Sharpshooting, Standing, kneeling, sitting and lying down are the four positions prescribed for firing by the army regulations. The lying position alone is prescribed for the 800 and 1,000-yard ranges, while at all other ranges up to 200 yards the lying and sitting positions are used. At 100 and 200 yards the sitting and standing positions are pre- F serived. Wherever the sitting position is prescribed the kneeling may be sub- stituted, but for the majority of per- sons the sitting is by far the better position of the two, : ; Cheyennes and Arapahoes Have Al-| A Kansas Murder Mystery.
