SLOW SUICIDE.

If you want to commit slow sui
eide, lead perfectly quiet life !;
shun you neighbors, do not go to
church, lecture or theater. After
trying this plan for year you will
be quite ready to court death. One
of the reasons why so many of the
socialistic communities have sue
ceeded is the insufferable and grow
ing dullness OF family life as it ex-
lists among people of average means
and intelligence, not on farms only,
nor in country towns, but even in
cities. This dullness is due in a
large part to the absence of social
Intercourse. The days follow and
resemble each other in most homes
at least in Anglo-S Saxon countries
with almost killing regularity.
The husband comes back after a
hard days work to dinner or tea,
which he eats in silence or in COM
pany with his wife, whose stock of
ideas he has long ago exhausted,
as, indeed, she has his. Social re-
lations between the household and
the outer world can harly be said
to exist. He sees business men on
business matters she at most ex-
changes a dry and barren "call'
at long intervals with other women
of her acquaintance. Except, per-
laps, the affairs Of the church to
which they belong, the couple have
no external object of interest. No
current of thought or feeling ever
reaches them except through the
newspaper or magazine. In fact, it
might be said without much ex-
aggeration that the only time they
take any formal notice of their
neighbors' existence or their neigh
bors' affairs is when somebody hap
pens to fall ILL., The influences of
such monotonoas life, are of
course, unhealthy and depressing.

HE SUFFERED LONG.

When it commenced to rain on
Friday, a man stepped into an Office
on Griswold street, and remarked :
"This rain will cool the atmos-
phere, won't il ?"
The proprietor agreed that it
would.
In about five minutes another
man came in to borrow paper, and
he remarked
"This rain will cool the atmos-
phere, won't it 2"
The proprietor thought it would
and had just dated u letter when n
man called to ask the loan of an
umbrella, and stood for moment
and rema. .ked
"This rain will cool the atmos-
phere, won't it?'
L suppose it will !" snapped
the Office man, and he turned to his
letter again. He had written four
lines when a man entered and
asked him the way to the City Hall,
and then remarked
"This rain will cool the atmos-
phere. won'tit?"
Blamed If care cent whether
it does or not p growled the bored
man, and he wrote five lines more,
and was biting his pen-holder when
a man jumped into the door, shook
himself and remarked
This rain will cool the atmos-
phere. won't ?"
mo, SIR" yelled the Office man at
the top of his voice, and he said he'd
wollop the next man who said "rain"
to him. He had turned his letter
over when along came tall young
man with a long nose. He looked
into the office, halted, and, as he
stood in the door and shook his UNI
brella, he said:
"Don't you think the rain will
cool the aft"
mo! blast your two white eyes, l
DON'T" yelled the man who was
writing, and he threw down his pen
and made ready for the next one.
Along came the next man who has
an Office above, and who is very
good man and IA worthy citizen, and
he stuck his head in the door and
called out:
"Ah! we'll all sleep better tonight.
Don't you think the rain wilt"
"No, you old liarm yelled the Of
flee man, aud he shut the door with
such suddepuess that the inquirer
fell off the step, rolled over his UNI
brclla and sat down on his hat. He
got up and wanted to lick somebody,
and said he thrsted for blood, but
the rain calmed him down, and the
Office man locked his door and hung
up sign reading:

Defaced Stamps Restored.

The Baltimore AmeFicda says: at
is estimated that the Federal Gov
ernment loses over a million dollars
year by the second using of post
age stamps that after being once used
were detaced by the Post Office Off
cials and subsequently restored to
their original appearance. So serious
is this loss that the Government is
very desirous OF finding AN ink that
can be used with pen or otherwise
to deface stamps that cannot be OBJ
liberated. ,ver four thousand spec
linens ct inks have been submitted,
aud a large numb r of stamps de-
faced by these various inks have
been sent to Prof. Tony, Of this city
to determine whether he could erase
the marks. Thus far not u single one
of the defaced stamps has stood the
test. Prof. Tonry can wash the de
faced marks from thirty of the ten
cent postal stamps in an hour. Most
of the inks whose markings have
thus far been tested have had ami
line colors mixed with them. Some
had iron as their base. Those that
were most difficult OF erasure had
carbon for their base. Many of the
inks would come off with the mere
'use of soap and water. A defacing
ank composed of the same chemical
ingredients as the face of The stamp,
or new carbon ink, or some me-
'chanical DETACHMENT of the postage
stamp when it is used, would seem
to be the only means for securing
the Post Office Department from
losses whose aggregate is large"

A TEXAS judge is credited with the
following neat decision: "The fact
is, Jones, the jail.is an old rickety af-
fair, as cold as an iron wedge. You
applied to this court for release on
bail, giving it as your opinion that
you would freeze to death there. The
weather has not moderated, and to
keep you from freezing l will direct
the Sheriff to hang you at 4 o'clock
this afternoon"

A NEwBUkyroRT man was the

victim Of singular incident the

the street boy exploded common

same instant rotten banana, thrown
from neighboring fruit store, struck
him ON the back Of the head. "I'm

*ll of the decayed fruit from his
head, he exhibited it to the horror
