An American professor makes Curl
Gus assertion with respect to many of
our classics. "By some kind of SPELL"
he says, "all the old books, whose
names have been ratified off for genera
tions in essays, speeches and in table
talk, pass as embodiments of merit,
while the real truth is that those names
won their popularity in vulgar age
and have now outlived their merits"
This may be true in some instances.

themselves is, we know, very small,

PECULIAR SUICIDES.
An Insane German Whose Ambition It
Was to Cruelty HIMSELF

An Insane German Whose Ambition It
Was to Cruelty Himself.
One of the evils inseparable from the
modern general diffusion of all sorts of
news is the encouragement of criminal
imitation. 1t was long noticed that pc
culiar crimes are apt to be copied, and
that this is especially the case in regard
to suicide. Most readers probably re-
member the story of the grove of trees
which Napoleon caused to be burned be-
cause il was found impossible to prevent
the soldiers from hanging themselves in
it. A similar story is told of a military
sentry-box. 1t was found necessary to
build cage over the gallery at the top
of the London monument, because it
had become favorite place for suicidal
plunges. A similar reputation tached
for many years to Waterloo bridge in
London. In France, some years ago, q
foolish young couple, saturated with
Rousseauism, fastened themselves to-
gether with gay-colored ribbons and
threw themselves into the Seine. The
idea took, and for time this mode OF
suicide was quite the fashion. Statistics
show that the average number Of sui.
cides remains tolerably constant in pro.
portion to population, though 1t nc
doubt rises when some widespread con.
vulsion disorganizes society. But the
ways of committing suicide change, an6
people not only exercise choice in the
matter, but are influenced in selecting
the mode by the recent occurrence o.
any striking events of the kind.
1t is true that no imitator has yet
been found of the insane German whose
ambition it was to cruelty himself, ant
who with an astonishing perversion o
ingenuity contrived an apparatus b,
which, after fastening his feet and nail
ing one hand to the cross-piece, he wa
enabled to hoist the heavy cross out o
the window and exhibit himself to tn
whole town suspended from it. That
however, involved too much labor, an,
suicides usually desire to shuttle off thi
mortal coil as easily as possible. Speak
ing roughly, it may be said that womel
prefer drowning, and men hanging. o
course, many OF both sexes take poison
In France for long time asphyxiatiol
by charcoal gas was popular with tn
poor. The last reported French suicide
however, seems to have been suggeste
by one of Cherbuliez's novels. A Cal
penter in Belleville killed his lady-lOv
and then himself. The double suicid
had been agreed upon and its metho
settled deliberately. The details wer
somewhat different, but the geners
plan resembles that of the hero and he
roine of LA Ravanche de Joseph No
rel" The resemblance in fact is S
close that we should think the ever
calculated to make M. Cherbnliez fe,
rather uncomfortable, If he is part ),
larly sensitive, though of course no re,
responsibility can be predicated in sue
