The latest invention to hang in the
family dining room is the gum board. 1t
is neat little circular board, decorated
or plain, fastened to the wall. The name
of each of the family is painted on the
circumference and marks the spot where
the gum is left until wanted. This saves
carving the gum to bed and getting it
in ones hair or swallowing it in the night.
1t is obvious that the gum board supplies
long felt want.

SUICIDE.

The papers contain many accounts
of suicide in this country. Various
causes are assigned, such as extreme
poverty, intemperance, fear of dis
grace, i'll regulated passions and the
like. Occassionly no valid reason is
obtainable. In numerous cases it is
disease and often an epidemic.
The Ohio papers note an unusual pre-
valence ofself-slaughter in that region.
lib some parts ofEurope men are more
apt to kill themselves than women,
but at the West recently female sui
cides predominant. French physicians
who have made this disease or phe-
nomenom study, contend that PEG
pie who work with their muscles rare
" take their lives. This is new APP
plication of the rule that sanity is
largely based upon healthy exercise
of the faculties, and the man who la
bors with his hands honestly is like
ly to possess fortiude sufficient to re
main in this world until called home
by power that cannot be challenged.
It is now estimated that one man or
woman in every $4,000 of our pop
ulation commits self-murder. That
the conditions and habits of modern
society, leading to nervous exhaus-
ton or abuse, have much to do with
this deplorable and tragic situation,
we have no doubt. Ifa development
of the physical man is barrier against
suicide, the judicious training OF the
muscles should become, in all classes,
a matter of importance. The sound
body is promise at least OF a sound
if not brilliant mind, and the union
of two such forces will permit their
possessor to accept life as it comes,
and make the best OF as long as pos
sible.
