M. Bertillot, Of the Paris AnthropolOgi-
cal society, is impressed with the idea that
he has struck nail upon the head. He has
instituted comparative analysis OF the
statistics presented in the suicide records Of
France and Sweden, aud has established,
on what he supposes unasssilabe evidence,
the two following laws; Among widow
ers, suicides occur more frequently than
among married men 2. The presence and
influence Of children IN the household
diminish the inclination to commit suicide
in men and women. II is learned from
the foregoing that ii is very dangerous
thing to be q widower widow
ers are cautioned 10 tangle
themselves in the delights Of matrimony
without delay-and that il is extremely
beneficial TO have number Of children
pattering about the household. The latter
lesson will send 8 thrill OF consolation
through the breast Of the man with more
family than he knows how 10 feed He'll
feel assured at any rate, that neither he nor
wife can ever commit suicide So long as
they keep enough children around. Mar
ried couples without children, who sp-
preciste this fact, should Immediately
borrow or adopt few. If d. BertiIlot
really has the facts to back his assertions,
he has conferred lasting blessing upon
humanity--he has not writhed in vain
