The Mohave sink and the Salton desert are the beds of just such lakes. On the peninsula in the Caspian sea is a small lake more heavily saturated with salt than either of the others. Another Caspian lake has the color of a rose and a pleasant smell, . both derived from a peculiar weed which grows in its basin. The lake of pitch, or asphaltum, in Trini dad, from which comes most, of' our asphalt, is certainly one o f the marvels of lakedom. The lakes of Switzerland are great settling beds for glacier mud. Every one has a gray river flowing into its upper end, a blue river leaving it aft the other. Eleven miles of the head of Lake Geneva have been filled up with the- gray glacier silt of the Rhone. The queer finger- shaped lakes of Western New York, all running north and south were undoubtedly scooped out dnd formed by glacial action, their steep. banks being formed by gla cial moraines. All of them are deepest at the southern end.— Kansas City Times. The tune of “ Yankee Doodle” has had seven or eight treatises written upon it in the last 30 years, ascribing it to various dates and origins, even back to The Nether lands and (he days of Cromwell and the Charleses. Dr. George Grove of London, author of the “ Dictionary of Music and Musi cians,” has investigated thorough ly the various musical Mbraries and the British museum in England, finding no traces of it whatever, thus exploding all the mystical, traditional and apochryphal ac counts thereof. But “ Yankee Doodle” had an origin and has a history. It was written by Dr. Richard Schuch-. burg, whose commission dates 1737, in the French and Indian war of 1755 under General Jeffrey Amherst and was intended as a “ take off” on the “ rag, tag and and bobtail” recruits of the colo nies that came into the army. It “ took” so well, however, that the fAmericknsJiave.ever. adopted it dandfwnnld'inoLinartSvithn fefor,anv m Father ancl I went down to camp, were in the Boston Journal in 1768, and the first record of the tune is in Arnold’s “ Two to One,” 1780, so that “ Yankee Doodle,” although written by a British sur geon, is really American _ Boston Transcript. PBOSPBKOTJS FT. BENTON. The Panic Never Touched Her— Better Now 1 bail Last Year. A special to last* Sunday’s In dependent had the following good word for our neighbor: While there is a vast difference between the Benton of to day and the Benton of 1883, when every thing here was booming and the Missouri river steamers Rosebud. Butte, Helena, Benton, Emily, Batchelor, and the Black Hills, made twenty-seven alternate trips up the river to this port, it is to day one of the most properous and substantial towns of its size in the ?tate, and the home of some of her most successful and pros perous citizens. They have im proved and beautified their land and to-day own their own proper ty, and are all comfortably located and* engaged in the different branches of business pertaining to any town and its surroundings. Benton has always beeu and will ever continue to be the heart of the largest.-and greatest live stock region of the state and the ship ping post of the largest scope of country. This season the ship ments have been unusually large, and it is safe co say that there has not been a day since the season closed that there has not been at least twenty cars of live stock shipped from the Benton stock yards to some eastern point. This stock has been driven in from all points of the compass within a ra dius of over 100 miles. ' The ¡Stockman’s National, of Fort Benton, one of the most con servative banking institutions of the northwest, as its especial state- meet of Oct. 3 will attest, has con- tinued to do business at the' same old stand and has accomodated its patrons all through the financial depression, and these and other causes have led Benton to enjoy almost uninterrupted prosperity. But the financial policy of Benton has always been conservative and ,a model after which many a larger town in Montana could Avell take pattern. As well as being a shipping* point, Benton is also the supply point of an immense ‘ territory. daily loaded at the wholsale house of T. O. Power & Bro. for the Ju dith Basin, Lewistown and that country lying north between Fort Benton and the Canadian line. A Woman Diver. The first woman, so far as is known, to make a descent in a diving-dress among the pearl fish eries of the Indian ocean is Miss Jessie Ackerman, the World’s Women’s Christian Temperance Union missionary. On her recent trip from Australia to Singapore the vessel she was on stopped for two days among the pearling fleet, and here Miss Ackerman went down sixty feet in the ocean’s depths and returnedin safety.— Shanghai Mercury. •Superstition Concerning- Mar riage.
