Suicides often adopt ingenious methods, bu' the art of the felo de se seems not to have advanced material- ly during the centuries. The modern case of a heavily insured broker who on a feigned hunting trip stood bare- legged in a quagmire for hours and wilfully contracted a fatal pneumonia s matched in cleverness by one 500 years old. The following facts are well vouched for, and indeed were never ques- tioned, says the Green Bag.

The colonel had gone up into the | Kentucky mountains from the blue | grass in command of a sawmi!l, and (@8 soon a8 he had mobilized his torces in that ficld he began to maneuver in the matter ol improving the people ahout his camp. What they needed most were hetter schools and he determined to take a hand in the gelection of a proper teacher. To this end he called in one from his own section who had a college education, but no mountain experience he proposed this blue grass nurtured young man to the mountaineer trus- tees there was unanimous opposition in favor of one of their own kind, who had been teaching the school for of the most limited kind “But,” argued the colonel, “your man doesn’t have the first rudiments of an education and the pupils might as well have no teacher at all.” “He's done letter than anybody else ever done, colonel,” replied the chalrman of the board “That may be, but none of them has been educated properly to teach.

Amonug people of average wmusical | | 1] ability there Is less singing than there singiug, and there was a time when nearly everybody was expected, on oc- casion, to sing But from different causes—a more exacting standard, the rivalry of the phonograph, and other reasons—amateur singers are fewer than they were. It is & matter for re gret from one point of view, and from another for rejoicing. In a recently published letter, Celia Thaxter tells how some of the Star laland foiks, during her long residence at the Isles of Shoals, used to sing. “Their singing,” she declared, “was truly astonisbing, indeed, | might say, excruciating They go at it precisely as if they were sawing wood, and grind out the sounds with such exer- tion that their faces become crimson and the perspiration stands in beads on their foreheads.”-—Youth’s Compan- fon.
