Causes Of Suicide.

There is nothing more difficult for a
sane man to understand than why peo-
pie will commit suicide. The problem is
rendered still more perplexing by the
fact that many suicides grow out of
causes which are considered the most
trivial. Only little while ago there
was the girl who plunged into a watery
grave because she had warts, and the
man who hung himself because his wife
had her hair cut off in spite of his op-
position; and now within few days a
West Virginia man goes out into his
barn and becomes his own hangman be-
cause his dinner isn't ready promptly.
As in these cases the victims must have
been infinitesimally endowed with
brains and with all so senselessly sensi-
tive that their lives would not only be
burden to themselves, but to every
body about them, it is as well, perhaps,
to count their taking of themselves off
the only "happy thought Of their lives,
and for their benefit to make the dis.
tinction of justifiable suicide.

deaths. Of the latter class, 5000 were

Rev. Mr.. Hendrix, when visiting the
patients in q Canadian hospital, a mum.
Der of years since, discovered therein q
man who appeared to be perfectly de-
mented, but otherwise in good health.
Inquiring into the cause of his malady,
he was informed that 1T was occasiened
by depression of the skull upon the
brain, by blow from the falling limb
of tree. Procuring surgical aid, Mr..
Hendrix caused the depressed skull to
be raised to its natural position, when
the patient uttered the CO. cluding
words of q sentence that he had begun
to address to his son, with whom, four
teen years before, he was splitting rails
under the tree where he received the
injury that deprived him of his senses {:

This is a remarkable example of sus-

the clock, the human mechanism had
been wound up, or set in motion, and

Enlarged Names.

There ia Q strange and unaccountable
tendency in the American mind to en-
large names, and especially to triplicate
them. Almost everybody now has
three names, and if any individual is 30
forlorn and destitute as to have but two,
the chances are that nine-tenths of his
correspondents in writing to him will
generally bestow upon him third name,
to which he has no right or title. This
tendency to multiply names seems to
be of republican origin. Our fore
fathers, before the revolution, were con-
tent with two appellations for their chill.
dren, az the children generally are
still and we are, therefore. spared the
horrid middle letters that infest our
names of to-day. Our great national
heroes of the good old time have simple
and dignified titles. But suppose We
had to say George G.. Washington, or
Benjamin B. Franklin, or Thomas T.
jefferson! The tendency We speak Of
does not confine its operation to per-
sons. For example, each Of our politi-
cal parties has in each State commit

management of its affairs, and which il
properly enough named the estate

Gus title, which leaves nothing to be
added or explained. And yet, in nine
cases out of ten, the politicians and the
newspapers will persist in calling it the

entirely superfuous and Pathological.
We have known instances in which
those who had the charge of printing
the circulars and other documents of .
State Committee have for years pur-
posely excluded the word " central !"
without being able to overcome the pro-
pensity of the newspapers to put it in.

Ion Work VERY few merchants

jon W0EK.-V Very few merchants
or bushes men ever stopato reallze how
necessary to the life of a newspaper is
what's technically termed Job Work,
that is, the whole line of commercial
printing, It is the main dependence
for the support of paper. A news
paper is deal like hotel. 1t can
not guage the number of employees it
must have, or the amount of work
it may be called upon to execute. 1t
must carry full crew, keep full assort-
ment of printers material and take its
chances in the final result. The wages
of its employees go on all the same
whether there is work for them or not.
Rent, taxes, light and fuel go on all
the same, The type are there, the
presses are there, the ink and all the
expensive material necessary to the
execution of good work is on hand and
there isa large deficit in the financial
account if these expensive adjuncts Of
a printing Office are not employed.
Now for the application. If your local
papers are worth supporting, if you
believe they are advancing the material
interests In your locality, give them
employment in preference to all others,
especially when they stand ready to
compete with all in cheapness, neat
ness and expedition with which they
will transact the business intrusted to
them. 1t is the only way you can re-
compense them for an immense amount
O. labor bestowed by them in the effort
to build up your trade and commerce.
