O'Dea. in a recent work on “Suicide,” says that during the sixteen years ending in 1858 there were 52.126 sufvides in Franee, of which 738 happened during drunken debanches and 2,464 resulted from habitual drinking. In Denmark 40 percent of the sul- cides result from the use of alcoholic drink, while tn Italy, where there is little intemperance, only six suicides in a thousand can be assigned to that cause. About tweive per cent of suicides result from financial embarrassments and loss of property. In this connection the author repeats the story told by Theodore Hook of the unfortu- nate man in whose hands everything turned out badly. He bought a lott icket, but imme- diately repented of the folly, and disposed of it to a friend. But it drew a prize of £30,000. Hook exclaimed that he should have cut his throat had it happened to him. “Yes,” aid the man, “of course you would, and so did 1,” and baring his neck he exposed a freshly healed wound that reached from ear to ear. MOST SUICIDES ocenr between the ages of 25 and 55, witha slight increase of the rate at 65. Suicides among women oceur mainly between 20 and 40 and at 50. Hereditary influence and insanity are prolific causes of suicide. About 30 per cent of the insane are melancholice, and of the latter about 35 per cent take their own lives. Exawple is one cause, and there have been @ NUMBER OF SUICIDAL EPIDEMICS, the most noted being at Etampes, Lyons and Versailles, in 1793, when 1,300 people took their own lives. Climatic influence has its effect. Suicides are more numerous in hot weather than in cold. In Italy in 1877 the smatlest nnm- ber oceurred in December and the largest in June; 18$ happened in the winter and 316 in the summer. The author shows how certain temperaments are predisposed to suicide. HOW TO PREVENT SUICIDE. He lays stress cn its prevention by sound physical, moral, and religious training, and by inculeating cheerful views of life. He thinks that attempts at suicide should be severely pun- ished by law, and that when there is a physical predisposition to such a step, medical advice should be sought. In treating of the history of the subject, he says that in early ages throughout southern and eastern Asia the custom of suickle had full swing. The Brahmin and Buddhist religions served as fuel to the flame. The self-immola- tion of widowsafter the death of their husbands became an establizhed custom in India, among the Tartar tribes, the Scythians, Scandinavians, and even the North American Indians. In Greece, Rome, China, and Japan, suicide ‘to avoid trouble, dishonor, or even pain, was con- sidered justifiable. Many famous Romans died by their own hand, and Horace tells of how peo- ple of all ages and classes destroyed themselves by leaping from the brican bridge into the Tiber, In the earlier ages the Jews were quite free trom suicide, and the tendency of Chris- tianity was directly against it. It entailed dis- grace, not only on the person, but the family. But the reign of St. Louis in France, in 12° the first secular laws were enacted to’ prevent it, by subjecting the bodies of suicides to the most revolting treatment. same subject by Professor ‘anslated from the Italian, author holds that in Europe, where stati: have been taken, SUICIDE IS BECOMING MORE FREQUENT in each quinquennium: Since 1865 suicides have been more frequent in the kingdom of Saxony than in any other state; for the ten 6-75) they numbered 298 per 1,000,000 At the other extreme of the scale stand d the slavs of the sout. 5 and 20 "Ss per 1,000,000 respective the ratio has long been steady, from 1836 to 1875 it rose only from 63 to 66 per 1,000,000. north of Europe from the time of Tacitus been acknowledged as the classic ground of s i and from south to north the suicides crease as a rule with the latitude. Italy, Spain and Portugal give the minimum proportions;the maximum occurs at 50 degrees north latitude. Suicides are most frequent WHERE THE COUNTRY 13 LOW; in the region of the great rivers and in alluvial countries of the more recent epochs (Denmark, the Germanic plain, the Ie de France,) June is the favorite month; and in December suicide is least frequent. It is probable that the moon | exercises influence on suicides as it does on madness and epilepsy, which are generally ageravated at the time of the waning moon. In France suicides are most frequent duving the first ten days of the month, and on Tuesday, Thursday, and Monday. Saturday Is the favorite day of the laboring man, when he receives his pay, and his content of mind lasts over Sunday, on which day the gluttinous, dissipated man wastes the money earned during the week. The new week begins with eatiety, remorse and in- tolerance of work. WOMEN COMMIT SUICIDE most frequently on Sunday—an unexplained fact. Suicide favors the active part of the day, and this is the reason why the months in which daylight Is longest—June, May, and July— show the largest number of suicides. The purer the German race, the greater the Peupensiey to self-destruction. Slavism tends to lower the average of suicides as Germanism elevates it. Religion has a noticeable influence on sui- cides. Protestant states show them most fre- quent, while Greek states the least, but here comes in the great influence of slavism. As to intelligence, it is those countries which have the hishest standards of general culture that manifest the strongest suicidal tendency. ‘The Germanic people are more cultivated than ail the other European nations. Prussia stands first, both as to education and suicides, France eomes next, and last Italy and Hungary. There is a direct relation between the number of suicides and the School attendance and the number of news; pers. The states which have the most railway as well asthe most newspapers, have generally the most suicides, and city life favors them. In every country the proportion of suicides is THREE MEN TO ONE WOMAX. The strong suicidal tendency of the Spanish women, however, is perhaps attributable to the force of their passions—Italian women, in a sim- Nar climate, manifest no such tendency. In each sex sulcide increases In direct ratio with the age, until about the 65th year. In Italy the married men andthe unmarried women commit suicide least frequently, the widowers and widows the oftenest. In France the married, with children, of either sex, are least prone to suicide. Each country has its own predilections as to means of suicide, but in all thé rope ‘s chosen most fre- quently, and drowning next; then firearms, then weapons which cut or stab, and then all other means. = eee THIRTY-SIX HOURS AT PLAY.

Apprentices Not Often Taken—Changes in the Business. “I've heard it.said that great actors are born, not made. It isn’t that way with clowns. They make clowns, and I never knew one that was born that way,” said Billy Andrews, the esthetic jester of Meyer & Shorb’s United States circus.

Every show has several boysin training for performers. Whenever it happens that one of these boys dis- plays any ability as a mimic, they put him down for a clown, and then a clown is made, whether he wants to be or not.” “There is a popular suspicion that the profes- sion have eome meaus of preserving through all ages the good old stories, and the beardéd jokes of the clowns; how is that?” “Now, maybe you imaginethat is a great gag, but it isn’t. The jokes and stories of the clowns are not kept on ice, whatever smart newspaper people may think. A good many of the funny stories in the papers are old enough to wear whiskers, and many of them were coined in the Ting, What the methods of other cloyns are I don’t know, but as for myself, whenever I see a good story, or observe a trait of human charac- ter that suggests a gag, I immediately make a place for it im my memory, and when I have to use it I give it all the originality I can. And, after all, I don’t think it is fair to demand that a clown shal invent every good story that he tells. “Has the system of consolidating shows under acres of canvas made any changes in the busi- ness of the clown?” “It has changed it a great deal. In old times a ‘talking clown’ was the monarch of his pro- fession. While this style was the rage Nat Aus- tin was a great success, but the big shows killed him, and no one ever hears of him now. There is no use in trying to talk from a ring to 10,000 people, and the managers have found that out. Inthe big shows now, if the clown wants to make a hit in talk, he has to talk to his audience in sections. I do ft trequently. I begin on one side of the ring, toss a gag at them, and when they begin to laugh skip over to the other side to give the people there a show tor their money. But nowadays the ‘knock-about’ clown is most in demand. ‘I mean by that the clown who tum- bles through the tricks and falls all over himeelf and everybody else in a clever make-belief that he can't possibly do the teats performed by the leapers and gymnasts. Talk won’t winany more. The clown must act tocatch an audience in the big tents. And it is harder work totalk oract ina ring than it is upon the stage. You don't feel as if you were removed from the pe le at all. There they are all around you, and a fellow act- ually seems to feel the welght of the crowd when he runs into the ring and finds the people stretching right down on tohim from the high- est seat to the edge of the circle. Now, while we are talking about audiences, I am going to tell you something that youmay not be ready to believe: P've always found it easier to catch an audience in the cities than in the country towns. The cities are the field for talking clowns. You can hit them with a littleconundrum, and they'll laugh and applaud. You've got ’em, and your work is easy. But in the country conundrums don’t go. There they want to see the clown ‘do something,’ and they never let up on him until hedoes.

SATURDAY, JBL Aaieeanc een “What do you think, Myrtle?” “I hardly know what to think, Reginald,” re- plied the girl, her eyes illumined with the radi- ant light of love as she turned In response to Reginald Simpson's question and looked at him with the beautiful, tender, calf-like look of first and only love. “I only know that, whatever my father may say, whatever he may do, my love for you will never falter or fail; my trust in the nobility of your nature will be as steadfast at the mighty rock of Gibraltar that flings back in scorn from its stone-buttressed base the might; billows that are ever beating against its gol sides in their mad, impotent fury. When Myrtle got well under way she was a es talker. She was a fair, slender girl with the lustrus brown that one sees 80 often in Bramah and a complexion that never cost less than $1 per box. As she stood in the parlor ot her father’s palatial residence this balmy June evening, her hand placed trustingly in that of Reginald, while her face almost touched his as they spoke the words quoted above, the picture was indeed a pretty one. “You are sure that he has heard all?” asked Reginald in solemn pleading tones, “Dead certain,” replied the girl. “You can bet on this, darling.” At this moment the sound of footsteps was heard. Myrtie ran tothe window and peered anxiously out into the yard. “He 8 coming,” she said in a frightened tone, ‘‘and you must confess all and trust to his mercy.” a guess you are right, sis,” replied Regi- nald. * Ina moment more George W. Hathaway, the merchant prince, entered the room. Reginald at once went up to him. “Mr. Hathaway,” he sald, “I have come here to-night to tell you frankly that last Sunday morning I went out to the race track. You know that Myrtle and Ilove each other with a deathless, Dearborn avenue love that opposition pony makes stronger and that we have plighted our troth. Ido not seek to defend my conduct of last Sunday. I know it is wrong to visit a race track at all, and especially on Sunday, but it seemed to me more noble, more manly, to tell you the exact truth.” “ Fide were out to the track Sunday?” said the old man, his face assuming a sad, pained ex- pression, ! that was indeed wrong. But step with meinto my library.

The two men stepped into the IMbrary, Mr. Hathaway closing the door as they entered. Reginald felt that the worst would soon come. Seating himself in an easy chair, Mr. Hathaway looked earnestly at Reginald for a moment. Then he spoke up suddenly: “Did-you see a little bay mare with a sort of spike tailand her near front foot white being exercised out there Sunday morning?” “Yes, sir,” replied Reginald. “How fast did she go?” “She trotted a mille in 2:2314, the last quarter in 35 seconds,” was the reply. A peacetul, happy smile stole over the old man’s face. inald, mv boy,” he said in low earnest tones, “that little bay mare belongs to me.

Professor Tyndall sends to the London Times a letter giving the summary of a lecture re- cently delivered in Berlin by Dr. Koch; showing the results of his researches to prove that tu- bercular consumption is caused by a parasite. In giving an account of Koch’s experiments, he Say! “Of six guinea-pigs, all in good health, four were inoculated with bacilli derived originally from.a human lung, which in fifty-four days had produced five successive generations, Two of the six animals were not infected. In every one of the infected cases the guinea-pig sickened and lost flesh. After thirty-two days one of them died, and after thirty-five days the re- maining five were killed and examined. In the guinea-pig that died, and in the three remain- ing infected ones, strongly pronounced tuber- cular disease had set in. Spleen, liver and lunge were found filled with tubercles; while in the two uninfected animals no trace of the dis- ease was observed. In asecond experiment, six of the eight guinea-pigs were inoculated with cultivated bacilli, derived originally from the tuberculous Inng of a monkey, bred and re- bred for ninety-five days, until eight genera- tions had been produced. Every one of these animals was attacked, while the two uninfected guinea-p! remained perfectly healthy. Sim- ilar experiments were made with cats, rabbits, rats, mice and other animals, and without ex- ception, it was found that the injection of the parasite into the animal system was followed by decided and, in most cases, virulent tubercular disease. “In the cases thus far mentioned inoculation has been effected in the abdomen. The place of inoculation was afterwards changed to the aqu- eous humor of the eye. Three rabbits received each a apeck of bacillus-culture, derived origi- nally from a human lung affected with pneumo- nia. Eighty-nine days had been devoted to the culture of the organism. The infected rabbits rapidly lost flesh, and after twenty-five jays were killed and examined. The tungs of ¢ sery one of them were found charged with tube ccles. Of three other rabbits, one received an injection of pure blood-seram in the aqueous humor of the eye, while the other two were infected, ina similar way, with the same serum, containing bacilli, derived originally from a diseased Inng and subjected to ninety-one days’ cultivation. After twenty-elght days the rabbits were killed. The one which had received an injection of pure serum was found perfectly healthy, while the lungs ofthe two others were found over- spread with tubercles. “Other experiments are recorded in this ad- mirable essay, trom which the weightiest tical conclusians may be drawn, Koch deter- mines the limits of temperature between which the tubercle-bacillus can develop and multiply. The minimum temperature he finds to be 86° Fahrenheit, and the maximum 104°. He con- cludes that, unlike the bacillus anthracis of sple- nic fever, which can flourish freely outside the animal body, in the temperate zone animal warmth is necessary for the propagation of the newly discovered organism. In a vast number of cases Koch has examined the matter expec- torated from the lungs of persons affected with phthisis, and found in it swarms of bacilli, while in matter expectorated from the lungs of ms not thus afilicted he has never found he organism. The expectorated matter in the former cases was highly infective, no. did drying destroy its virulence.
