A Startling Statement,

washington Corr. Boston Trayeler.l
''Ihere is lot in the Bible single
commandment against self-slaughter. p"
This remarkable statement was made
by Air. Samuel Yorke At Lee, one OF
the most distinguished jurists and schol-
ars in this section. 81 make that re-
mark ad7isedly and it is literally true.
From the beginning of Genesis, to the
end of Revelations, there is neither
prohibition nor censure of the act. No
denunciation or reprOach can be found
IN the Decalogue, nor IN the Mosaic
Code, nor In the prophetical writing,
nor In the historical chronicles :; neither
in the New Testament, nor in the apos-
tolic epistles aud teachings, nor even in
the Apoeryha. There are only eight
eases of suicide mentioned In the Bible:
Abimelech, Samson, Saul. his armor
bearer, Ahithophel, Zimri, Rails, and
Judas Iseariot. In all these cases the
facts are simply set forth without COM
n1ent either of praise or of censure, ex-
cept in the case of Rails, whose 'tman-
Illness" is commended. It may be said
that the act of suicide is comprehended
by the command to do no murder, but
there is no identity between murder
and suicide. One is prompted by Gu
psdity or revenge. and is directed against
the person of another the other is a
deed of insanity or despair, directed
against himself, and certainly without
cupidity or revenge. We are then
forced to the conclusion that suicide is
no declared, specific offense against God.
The belief that it is, inculcated for so
many centuries in ChriS4endom has IFS
origin in ecclesiastical economy.

Gentlemen Now and in the Past.

What is a gentleman 1t is q very
ola question and has been answered in
very different ways, but it is clear that
the word at least has a relative and NOT
an absolute meaning as some insist, aud
that il wares wish tue tines Here i
what LJd Cue~terfi, III says, which the
members Of the Four iL-Hunu Club viii.
red with interest: :" \ gentleman al

amusements. 1t at cards he Will Lot
play cribbage, all tours, or putt; or in
sports ct exercise be seen at skittles,
leap-,l~r, football, cricket, driving Of
coaches, etc., for he knows that such an
imitation Of the manners of the mob will
indelibly stamp him with vulgarity."
In another Of his letters to his son he
says, There are liberal and ill-liberal
pleasures as well as liberal and ill-lib-
eral arts. Scottish drunkenness, indis-
criminate gluttony, driving coaches,
rustic sports, such as fox chases, horse
races, etc., are infinitely below the hon
est and industrious professions of tail
or and shoemaker And vet people
who call themselves gentlemen do most
OF these things nowadays, and even those

A Severed Hand.

tfnom the 4onths OGInpanlon.J
The following remarkable case occur
red about three years ago In North Caro-
lima: A white, delicate girl had her
hand completely severed from the arm
by an ak. The physician not being in a
condition to amputate the arm above the
wrist, replaced the hand, secured it with
silver stitches and adhesive plaster, and
having 1Oundboth armand hand to abroad
splint. ordered them to be kept warm
with hot Aannel cloth. The third day
pulsation could be plainly felt in the
hand, which had also changed its color.
Says the physician in charge 81 re-
moved the sutures On the fourteenth
day, and afterward she carried the hand
in a sling, and is now-three months
after the accfdent-abIe to extend the
fingers and grasp with nearly the usual
strength" The joint retained IFS free
motion.

Glucose.

A bushel of corn weighing ffty-siz
pounds will yield between twenty eight
and thirty pounds of glucose, OF
gEaPe sugar, aud in adultarating sugar
tlron Is TO 90 per cent. of the grape
sugar is generally used. In Europe po-
ta1oes are generally 2sed for the manu-
faeture of glucose, and the manufactur-
ers find larger profits than from corn.
A plant called manioe, & native of South
and Central America, Us said to produce
fifty-six pounds of glucose to the bushel.
AS this plant yields over 500 bushels to

And when knew that never again
