ISIS are pushing on to make prohibition a
national issue.
Restless, unhappy, disconnected and dis

accomplished, what encouragement have
they for establishing national issue. and
going into national politics? In ma
honal issue what do the prohibitionists
propose to do: What do they expect to
accomplish: The usual legal modes of en-
forcing restriction in states and localities
have failed, and what better can be ex-
pected on the broad field of national ac-
ton, by an appeal to the
country: Or do these agitators
contemplate resort to force? Do they
propose to establish national armed con
stabulary, or mounted police, armed to
the teeth, to regulate the civil life, habits
and customs of the people, and to remedy
the evils of the body polite?

Suicidal Mania.

w. G. FL. aged so, laborer. who
had four times attempted, at last COM
mitted, suicide by drowning himself: a
brother had drowned himself at the same
spot; asisterpoisonedh herself, and another
sister attempted suicide. Among the
30O cases [ find but two in
which heredity may be suspected,
though have not usually made Inquiries
as to this point. One man had an uncle
who had poisoned himself, and a grand
father who cut his throat, both under
the influence of drink, and a woman said
her father had blown his brains ont
about year before her attempt to poison
herself. The temperament and dispo
sltlons, however, which prompt or incline
to suicide are 10 doubt matters of trans
mission from parents who have not
taught or transmitted the power of self
government or the reverence for life
which they themselves did not possess.
Secondly, [ can not doubt but that the
sentimental glamor thrown over suicide
by some poets and Dovelists has had an
evil result, which they would be eager
to deprecate. [ distinctly assert, for
example, my belief that the poem of
L. Hood, =" The Bridge of Signs"
written with the sole object of evoking
charity for the despised, has vet, with q
certain class, tinged suicide with halo
OF romance, and afforded justification
OF cowardice and crime to the unreasoninc
and hysterical. Thirdly, many of The
attempts that have come under my notice
are distinctly attributable to the ordinary
violent exaggerated language of parents.
perhaps especially mothers, of the poorer
classes. ''I'll break every bone in your
body" is the ordinary way OF
expressing displeasure at some trivial
otfense OF child; and no one who has
been forced to overhear ga few family
words" will wonder. how that deed Of
violence, which is threatened with no
intention whatever of accomplishment.
becomes IN a less-guarded moment the
suggestion of a crime which is familiar
IN language, though never really contem.
plated hitherto In act Brought ND in
an atmosphere of threats against life.

m9ified up to the eyelids, showing
only strip of buff forehead, they gen.
orally turned aside their faces as we an
preached them. Their street costume
was not elaborate--a voluminous linen
mantle, apparently covering nothing but
a wlde-sleeved chemise, reaching to the
lnstep and caught at the waist. Their
bare feet were thrust into half-slipper.
and their finger tips stained with henna
Some had only one eye visible. In the
younger women, that one pensive black
eye peering out from the snowy colt was
very piquant. The Hebrew maidens
we're not SO avaricious OF themselves.
but let their beauty frankly blossom
IN doorways and at upper easements.
Many of the girls were as slender and
graceful as vines. In their apparel thew
appeared to affect solid colors-blues
ochers, carmines and olive. green's
They have a beautiful national dress
which IS worn only in private. The
Jewesses of Tangier are lannon's for
their eyes, teeth and compilations. and
Tor their figures in early maidenhood.
At 80 they are shapeless old women.
