A Suicidal Epidemic.

A recent number of Chambers Journal
gives an entertaining article on suicides,
from which we copy:
sometimes, says the writer, "a per.
son determined 10 destroy himself will
wait months and years for an opportunity
of executing the deed In the particular
manner he has marked out for himself,
and the very inclination to suicide may be
removed by Withdrawing the particular
objects that would awaken the idea. Thus
man who has tried TO drown himself
will be under no temptation TO cut his
throat. Example, it is we'll known, Is a
powerful cause of excitement 10 the sui.
cidal act. We were once told by ply.
stefan that hypochondriacal patient used
10 visit him invariably the day after read.
ing the report OF suicide In the daily pa
pers, possessed by morbid fear Of imi-
tatating the act of which he read. Sir
Charles Bell, surgeon of Middlesex Hos
pital, was one day describing to barber
who was shaving him patients unsuc-
cessflil attempt TO cut his own throat, and
on the BARRIERS request pointed out the
anatomy of the neck, showing how easily
the act might be accomplished. Before
shaving operations were completed the
barber had left the shop and cut his own
throat according 10 Sir Charles Bells ex-
act instructions Sometimes there Is an
epidemic of suicides, AS at Versailles In
1893, when out Of small population
1900 persons destroyed themselves In one
year; OF as in the Hotel DIES Invalides in
Paris, when six of the inmates hanged
themselves on certain crossbar within a
month. Very often the disease is heredi
tary, and at certain are the members III
one family will all In turn evince the sui
cidal tendency, while even children of
very tender years have been known 10 end
their short lives by their own act, from
force of example. Curious, too, are the
methods of self.destruction, but they are
too painful to bear description. A French.
man once attempted 10 ring his own death
knell by tying himself TO the clapper Of
the church bell, which thereupon began
To swing, and alarmed the villagers by Its
unwonted tones. All cases Of determined
suicides are characteristic Of confirmed
insanity; whereas, in a case of impulsive
insanity, the perpetrator will often regret
the act before IL iscompleted and endeavor
10 save his lite, as did Sir Samuel Romil-
ly, thus demonstrating that the very at
tempt may effect the cure of the disor.

Frauds In Fruit Trees.

Globe, as well as in those OF our contempt.
raries, against the fruit-tree peddler nui-
sance. 1t seems as il these fellows that
hawk trees must make good thing o,
their very questionable occupation, for
however often exposed and denounced,
they still keep at 1T, and apparently find
victims and profit. Similar outcries are
made in the newspapers of the States,
where, TO all appearance, there is regu.
lar conspiracy, and on large scale, to
cheat credulous farmers with young trees,
which are positively worthless. In New
York, Pennsylvania and Massachusetts
they have been making large sales, and at
prices from 200 to 500 per cent. above the
regular market rates for really good trees.
Their plan Of operation is said TO be as
follows:
Organized into companies of six or
eight, under leader, they select district
for their operations and have central
point for headquarters.
Livery horses are hired for each. They
have selections Of the very best canned
fruits as specimens of the productions of
their trees; and armed with these they talk
over many old farmers to take their ware
and make fortunes. Cherries and straw
berries are their favorites, but they try
other things as well-all very poor, gener.
ally worthless. When delivering time
comes the plants are found not in boxes,
but merely baled with straw about the
tops and sacking round the roots,
with some good trees on the outside
Some take their bales without examining.
Others insist upon seeing the inside of the
parcels, and when they find the trash with
which they have been saddled refuse their
purchases, and are threatened with suits.
but these never come off. These operators
never appear the second time in the same
locality. Their one raid, however, eases
many hundreds, nay, thousands, of farm
ers of some of their hard earned cash, in
spite of all the warnings they receive to
beware of such gentry.
This fraud of selling worthless fruit
trees is very old one and ought by this
time to impose on very few. Why should
sensible men allow themselves, to be
swindled by such impostors, when they
can get trees and plants from any respect
able nurseryman, who will send them
true to name at moderate prices and In
good condition? The amount of money
every year thrown away on worthless fruit
trees would very speedily stock the whole
of Ontario with the best and most pro:
ductive kinds, and give encouragement
and business to respectable and industrious
nurserymen, instead of supporting brood
of INSCRIPTIONS and impudents camps
