TIE PHENOMENA OF auloIpE.
London Statistics on tho suhjcct--A
Reversal Of the General Rule.

London Statistics on tho suhject---A
Rcversai Of the General Rule.
Mr.. Buckle, it will be remembered,
made very free use OF the statistics Of
suicide In London to support his theory
that the moral actions Of men are the pro-
duct, not OF their individual volitions, but
Of the general condition Of society. From
these statistics he showed that during
long series Of years the average annual
number Of suicides In the metropolis was
~ and 80 great was the regularity Of tho
phenomena that, within Che period In
question, the extreme oscillation was from
2i3, the lowest number. 70 200, the highest
number recorded In n single year. This
theory Of mechanical regularity ia urged
with good deal OF force In DIR. Morsclli's
recent work on suicides, In which he seeks
60 demonstrate the existence Of 4law Of
suicides governed wholly by physical
causes, and TO establish the proposition
that there Is no real independence In
human actions In brief, DR.. Morselli
holds with Buckle that "ln given stats
Of society certain number OF persons
must end their own lives and finds, in
the general uniformity OF suicidal statis-
tics, strong support for his hypothesis
II appears, however, from the figures
given In the London papers showing tho
number OF suicides attempted In that city
during 1885, that there are variationH In
these phenomena which are not entirely
consistent with the Morselli theory. For
the first year since records have been
kept the males remanded on charge OF
attempting their own lives exceeded the
females Indeed, while there had been
only two or three months In the last de-
cado that more males than females were
arrested In London for this offense, In
1885 this happened IN seven months.
Buckle onumerates MS among the chief
causes Of suicide political excitement,
mercantile excitement, and the misery
produced by the dearness Of food;' and IL
will at once occur TO the reader that the
two first named, which, from their very
nature, affect men to greater extent
than women, were In exceptionally active
operation in London last year. The po-
litical crisis was precipitated early In the
year, and'outlasted 1t. while the financial
and commercial conditions which CON
tinuously prevailed certainly had de-
cided tendency to disturb the mental
equilibrium Of the male population
Political excitement and business depres.
sion we're, however, by no means confined
to the capital, but existed throughout the
kingdom to fully as great n degree, and II
the suicidal statistics Of the provinces for
the year show an excess Of males over fe-
males II will be reasonable to conclude
that the fact Is due TO those agencies.
II Is worth noting, perhaps, that in Lon
don, last year, as always before, the sui
cidal mania was far more prevalent in
summer than at any other season, there
having been 14i arrests for suicidal at
tempts In the summer quarter, 08 In the
autumn, n In the spring, and 8s in the
winter. Chicago Times

Cheap Lunch for Fashionable Women.

Cheap Lunch for Fashionable Women.
Hardly anything In the eating or drink
ing experiences OF men equals in frenzy Of
avidity the scene at MONDAY in certain
Broadway restaurant for women. Passers-
by at other times wonderfully the establish
ment occupies a frontage Of 100 feet ON
site where the crowded retail trade of the
neighborhood makes space very costly.
Counters forming hollow square occupy
& spacious area, and there seems TO be no
need Of so much room, But this is the
lunching resort of shoppers, and they
crowd IL compactly between 10 and 3 or 8
o'clock The system of the luncheon is
the same as that Of the stores where femi-
nine fnery Of the smaller sorts is sold.
"Drivcs' and "closing-out sales" are daily
features. Now 1t Is great heap of dough-
nuts at reduced prices; again, alluring
bargains in cream cakes are offered and
once in while an enhancing combina-
ton Of buttered buns and coffee causes a
riot of excitement. The astonishing fact
Is that wives and daughters Of million
aires go into the jostle and clamor of this
luncheon as though their digestion de-
pended on a quarter Of. a dollars worth
for dime. New York Letter.

STATEMENT,

TNHE undersigned, "A Committee of Di-
Il rectors of the Equitable Life As.
surance Society of the United States
appointed to formulate the views of the
Board on the advantages offered by the
Society to the public, report
1st-The Society issues all the approx.
ed forms OF assurance, including Ordi-
nary Life, Il dowment and TOntine no.
licies. 1t is immaterial to the Directors
which form of policy is taken by IN
tending assurers.
2d-The Life and Endowment forms
of policy provide for annual cash divi.
dends and surrender value; are indis.
putable after three years and PAYABLE
Immediately after proof of death
3d-The premiums on 1ontine po-
Icy are the same as on the Ordinary
Life, but, while the latter is only nav.
able in the event of death, the holder of
the Tontine policy has the right to draw
the whole of the reserve and the accu.
mulated profits IN cash at the end of a
stated period; thus, during his own life.
time, after his producing years are past,
he can, without any larger premium
than on an ordinary policy, secure these
greater advantages.
4th-EXperiencc shows that the return
paid in cash on maturing Tontine DO.
licies approXimates to or exceeds the
amount OF premiums paid by policy
holders, so that the average cost of the
assurance will be only about the interest
on the premiums.
5th-Tontine policies, like others, are
paid in full in the event of death at any
time during the term of the policy, and
are incontestable after three years, and
payable Immediately after due proof of
death.
6th-Experience shows that the NOR.
tality is lower among TOntine policy
holders, as the better lives seek this
kind of assurances, which is consider.
able source of profit.
7th-Tontine policies will be made
non-fOrfeitable under the laws of the
State, If so desired at the time the as.
surance is effected.
Sth--The Tontine system is fair and
| just; its accounts are accurately kept,
separate from all other business; tho
funds judiciously invested and improv.
ed, and the accumulated profits faith.
fully guarded and properly appoltioned.
