THE LAW REGARDING SUICIDES.

Unfortunately it falls. to the lot Of
report that some unhappy individual has,
by his own hand, terminated his earthly
existence. Such a case appeared in our
issue of Wednesday. There was nothing
remarkable about it, except that it was
less revolving than some, owing TO the
deceased not being in his right senses.
But our purpose at the present time Is to
call attention to the legal aspect Of those
instances in which this mitigating cir
cumstance does not exist. This is sub
stantially the same all the world over,
and it is at least debatable question as
10 whether modern jurisprudence has
arrived at that stage Of development
when its bearing towards the would-be
suicide is based upon reasonable, not to
say humanitarian principles. The law
regards suicide as a crime, which it I'M
dOubtedlyis. But it is one differing essen
TALLY from other crimes; whether the
difference is such as to warrant distinct
mode of treatment is the issue we desire
to present. With this one exception
there is not an illegal act upon the stat
utes of any country for which the per
petrator may not be brought to Justice
after it's commission. The suicide can
only be dealt with if his attempt should
prove abortive. The primary object of
every criminal code is supposed to be re-
form rather than revenge; prevention
rather than cure The motive which
prompts man to take his own life Or
dinarily is that he finds that life for some
reason intolerable. Is it then reasonable to
consider that the motive will in any de-
gree be removed, that a cure of his pro-
pensity to self-destructiOn will be effected
by his being brought before a Court of
Justice, held up to the public gaze and
sentenced to a punishment which is a
moral degradation On the contrary,
the result will be Numerically opposite
to this That life which he sought to
destroy will be rendered tenfold more
intolerable the motive which impelled
him to attempt its destruction will be
strengthened in like measure. If by
reason of his desire he is an enemy to
social order his moral condition is ag-
gravated, not ameEorated by the legal
methods adopted. In word, the exist
ing law regarding attempted suicide is
worse than useless; it exerts an infu-
ence exactly the opposite to what it is
intended to exert. Instead of tending 10
dissuade the criminal from a repetition
of his crime it has direct tendency to
impel him thereto; and inasmuch as he
knows that if successful he will not
again be punished by law, while Il I'M
successful he is liable to such punish
ment, he will only be the more careful
to carry out his intention. The question
as to what is the most effectual means
of dealing with the would-be suicide is
a subject that urgently demands the at
tention of statesmen, and he who solves
the problem will be a true philan-

Business For Tho BOYS.

Farmers are urged by The Western
Rural to give the boys a pleasant bias
toward agriculture by affording q
chance to make some money and to
learn business methods. "Not, how
ever, by raising a pig to be his fathers
hog" The gift, or purchase by labor,
of q heller calf makes good basis for
beginning: "Perhaps there is nothing
on the farm he can handle so we'll and
so profitably, and which will give such
g. good opportunity to deal with him
with such exact justice. OF course he
should pay for the keep of the COW, SO
lar as that is practicable. He should
always be charged for the keep OF any
animal giyen to him. But it is not
practicable to do this with such JUS
tice with any other animal. He can
buy his grain outright and feed his
cow separately. hefather can affo1 d
to give him the grass in summer and
perhaps the hay in winter, Or on agree
ment can be made for the payment for
them. Now the boy Is started in bust
ness. He should have the entire han
ding OF his cow and of her milk, do his
own milking and churning and market
ing, or sell his own cream if the cream
is sold. Let him keep accurate &C.
counts; and as his profits warrant en-
courage him topurchase the best dairy
implements that he can make use Of.
We do not believe that there is one
boy in ten who cannot be won to the
farm by such methods"

Moro About Sleeplessness.

The cure OF sleeplessness depends
upon the cause; how various the caus-
es are we have seen. I will not EMU
merate the devices for procuring sleep
in the ordinarily healthy; they are
very numerous, but none of them have
any general application. One counsel
may be given, for it is not hackneyed,
it is this: Learn to sleep in the day
time. This art is one which everybody
has not acquired. People there are
and know such people-who are wise
enough to eat when they are hungry,
but have never attained that higher
reach of wisdom to sleep when they
are sleepy. But occasions come to all
of us when we need to be able to sleep
in the day time at will. Have you
failed to get your needed sleep, wheth-
er because of work or watching, sor
pleasure? Then repose in the
daytime is the restorative needed.
There IS great virtue in naps-even in
short ones-and the art OF mapping in
the daytime, if you have not learned
it already, is one to be learned with
out delay. 1t may require q little
practice, but nature is on the side Of
the learner.
And, lastly, here is a bit of philoso-
ply written by wise man and physi-
clan, DR.. Frank Hamilton. Let US
hope that at least one of my readers,
il only one, will be wise enough to prof
it by his wisdom: GLOOMY thoughts
prevent sleep. The poor and unfort-
innate magnify and increase their mis-
fortune by too much thinking.
BLESSED be he who invented sleep, but
thrice blessed be the man who shall
invent a cure for thinking" Titus
Munson Coan, in Harper's Weekly.

Keeping Onions.

Onions arc kept in good order in
the following manner: They are first
thoroughly dried, and then spread
about one foot deep on a dry floor and
left until they are quite frozen through.
They are then covered deeply with
straw and left until the spring, when
they thaw out slowly and will be fresh
and as good as at first. Onions are
not injured by one freezing; it is re-
peated freezing and thawing which
hurts them. If they are kept in a Gel
lar they should not be heaped in large
piles, but kept in barrels and we'll ven
tilated by means ofholes in the slaves.
An excellent way to keep them is to
tie them in long strings on straw ropes
and hang these to the ceiling of the
cellar or root house.

Il is not possible to keep cattle
through the winter upon hay and
straw alone with profit. Hay will per-
haps keep them alive and in steady
condition without loss of flesh if they
are well housed and cared for, but
straw will not, and they will lose flesh
and perhaps die before the winter is
over. If the cattle are fed from four
TO eight pounds of corn, linseed meal,
or cottonseed meal with the hay and
straw they may gain flesh and make
q profit.

undoubtedly the reason why so much

On Behalf of tho HOGS.

From well-considered article in the

paragraphs: "Lelt wholly to himself
the hog is avery clearly disposed crea~
ture. He likes grass, fresh fruits and
sweet grain very much better than he
likes these things after they are half
spoiled by decay. In the open field he
keeps his feeding place and sleeping
place free from his own filth. He takes
cold, and gets fevers under precisely
the same conditions that would bring
q cold or fever into the family of it's
owner, and he is subject to contagious
diseases that affect him very. much as
other contagious diseases affect man.
1--WE have seen many pens the past
summer, and they can be seen every
day in the year by those who will look
for them, where the soft mud and
sinking filth a foot deep extended
over the whole area, so there
was not SO much as a single dry straw
to sleep on, The hogs must sleep in
water, and eat in soft .mnd, made not
only filthy, but poisonous, by their
own excrements. In such pens farm
ers often throw ears of corn to be
eaten in the mud, and the animals
become sick from exposure to cold or
