The Age Of Suicide.

The London Medical Record SAYS
"'The influence of age upon suicide is
a study of more than speculative inter-
est, on account of it's practical bearings,
| and of the ease and precision with
which it can be demonstrated. By age
is meant the critical periods of life.
These periods have many components
besides the mere fact of years, it is ap-
parent that what we have to examine is
many-sided phenomenon, including,
together with it, the advance in life, the
workings of physiological, mental. and
sociological causes. 1t has been lately
examined by DR.. O'Dea, and it appears
that the maximum of suicides of both
sexes occurs between the ages of % and
IS. Previous to the 25th year there is
a sudden increase from 2 suicides be-
tween the ages of 5 and 10, to 1876 be-
tween 90 and IS. After So the tendency
to suicide declines, but more gradually
than it rose, except at IS, where the
number increases again from 81
to 83-a rise so slight, however,
as to be little worth considering.
There are, therefore, three suicidal
periods in life-those of organic and
mental growth, of organic and mental
completion, and of organic and mental
decline. In the first the chart shows
81, in the second ~, and in the
third 81. Comparing the peri
DDS in round numbers, it may be said
that they are as one for childhood and
adolescence to twelve for adult life, and
to four for the years of bodily and men
tai decay. The influence of sex and its
attendant circumstances upon suicides at
the different periods of lite is shown
upon the charts. With females, as
among males, there is sudden and
abrupt rise until the 25th year is
reached. The rise is continued to the
Both year, at which the maximum of
suicides occurs among women. The
period from the 25th to the 18th year
corresponds to that of the greatest
pressure from domestic troubles and
responsibilities, as also with the great
est activity of the maternal functions.
The line thence descends abruptly to
the 45th year, whence it rises to the
50th, the critical period of mature fe-
male life, and then goes down, unit it
reaches the level from which it started.
There are therefore, two eliminating
points, and while the line on the male
chart is undulating and sustained, that
on the female is vertical and abrupt.
The lower of the male eliminating
points is the higher of the female, and
contrariwise, the lower of the female is
the higher of the male. These charts
do not show the relative frequency of
suicides among the two sexes. The
ratio of suicides to population in the
United States is (for the period covered
by the last decimal census) 25 to 100, 1000
among males, and 3 to 100000 among
females. The only periods at which
suicides are nearly equal for both sexes
is from Is to 20 years, during which the
number of boy suicides was 81, of girl
suicides 80. After this the number of
suicides among males is mach greater
than among females.

AN innocent person met with very
painful accident under peculiar circum-
stances in Boston. An italian peddler
being insulted by a street gamin, re-
torted with some epithet, whereupon
the boy took up large stone and threw
it at HIM from the opposite side of the
street. It struck the curbstone with
such violence as to rebound and struck
the nose of a gentleman who was pass
ing in a wagon. His nose was broken
and turned completely over on his cheek,
showing an orifce clear into his head.
The gentleman tainted from pain and
loss of blood. The boy mingled with
the crowd and escaped.

CAPTAIN Briggman is generally i'm
proving his property on "Sunny Side"
as we'll as the town generally, by the
erection of small buildings and the
laying out of town lots. About forty
lots, measuring some sixty feet front by
four hundred deep, conveniently loca-
ted to the business part of town, have
already been laid out. 1t is in this
way that a town is made to grow, and
not by holding lands in body, and
forcing purchasers to seek homes else
where.
