A Room For Suicides.

The stories of ruin every day at Monaco,
Italy, sometimes on good authority, are
horrible. Fortunes, trust money, provision
for children and widows, the sums acquired
by the sale Of commissions; sums raised on
house and land, have disappeared in few
days Or hours Often it is the extravaganza
of the companion that drives her victim
back and back. to the tables, deeper and
deeper. But women themselves are
the most reckless gamblers. The common
computation is suicide month, and there
sometimes come three or four together On
the ramparts, or the garden of Monaco, there
are several points from which ruined gam
blers have thrown themselves into the sea,
300 feet below. Only the other day a
"lady" threw herself out of her third floor
chamber into the road. There have been
incidents in the rooms Of the Casino, and
one at the table itself. Having staked and
lost his last franc, gentleman stood up and
drew pistol and discharged it in his mouth.

llshment, But most of the victims go away
and hide themselves and die like sick dog,
in some corner, where they hasten death or
let broken heart take its course. II is
impossible even to conjecture the total
amount of the annual ruin; nor is that an
important matter, for the loss of a few hun
hreds is as utter ruin to some people as tens
of thousands Is to others. When man
cannot meet his creditors, or even his wife
and children, it is all over with him, unless
he is devoid of natural feeling aud lost to
shame. The mere excitement Of days
gambling has been known to kill people con-
stitutonally weak of heart or head, whether
they have won or lost. Ecstasy works the
effect of despair in such cases. People have

A Candid Opinion.

A Detroit lawyer, famous for his
wise and candid opinions, was the
other day visited by young attorney,
who explained:
"I was admitted to the Bar two
years ago, and think ought to know
something about law, yet the minute l
arise to address a jury forget all my
points and can say nothing. Now |
want to ask you if this don't show a

The wise attorney shut his eyes and
studied the case before answering:
"My young friend, If its lack Of con-
fidence in yourself it Will some day

had better sell out your office effects

"Baby Nine"

The baby carriage made its appearance
recent" for the season of 1879. 1t was oc-
cupiete by the usual bahg, and it was pro-
PEELED by the woman who looksjnto all the
store windows as she goes along. A report
er who followed the carriage fog an hour
found that it collided with five wemen, ten
men, six curb-blocks, four boXes andNa
street car, and every collision only made tHe
woman more determined to occupyA two
thirds of the sidewalk if took all summer.
She succeeded. They all succeed. A
woman pushing baby carriage in front of
her on the sidewalk is as dangerous as seven
roller-skators and four velocipede riders
combined. She can't kill full grown man
quite as promptly as runaway team, but
she can knock his shins to pieces, tumble
him over, upset all his good resolutions
and leave him int-hearted and evil-minded.
You can't dodge baby cab. Your only
safe way is to jump from the curbstone or
climb ladder. They go on wheels. They
are supposed to be a convenience which no
respectable baby can do without. No mat
ter who first got the idea that jolting a ba-
by around town, bobbing him over curb
stones and bouncing him over crosswalks
would sweeten his disposition-the idea is
correct. Put man in a vehicle of the sort
and his back would be broken in an hour,
but babies have no backs. They are sim
ply great big hunks of sweetness. The
only reason why all the Union regiments in
the late war were not armed with baby car
riages was because the factories could not
supply them. They would have ended the
war in one year. The woman with the ba-
by carriage needs no advice. She knows
enough to heed the vehicle towards every
crowd she can see. The thicker the crowd
the more business she has there. 1t is her
duty to run to all fires with it, to select the
busiest crosswalks, and to get in front of all
runaway teams, and she perfectly under
stands it, If there ia any country on earth
where these vehicles are not in use, it is no
country to live in.

A Frightful Scene.

During an exhibition of some wild
beasts short time ago at the theatre of
small town in Thuringia, frightful
scene occurred. A leopard was not
nearly so Submissive to the tanner as
usual, and dashed wildly about the
cage, Suddenly two of the bars gave
way, and the animal sprang with a
TREMENDOUS bound among the spectors
in the pit. The terrified people rushed
pell-mell to the door, but the beast at
tackled the hindermost of them furious
ly with teeth and claws, and in four
minutes had killed q woman aud child
and fearfully lacerated fonr other per-
sons about the face and neck. The
moment the leopard escaped from its
cage, the beast tanner and his assistants
hurried after it, ARMED with spears but
were unable to overcome 1t until it
dropped dead from its wounds. On
examining the broken bars Of The cage
It was discovered that they had been
flied. An attendant, lately dismissed
for drum kenness, has been arrested on
suspicion Of being the author OF this
atrocl0us act.
