Suicides in japan,

According to a recent Japanese return it
appears that the great majority Of persons
committing suicide in Japan are over 80
years OF age. Next on the list IN respect
of numbers come the suicides Of persons
between 20 ard 30 years Of age. OF
these the greater part turn their backs
on the world in consequence of disap-
pointed love. For suicides Of all ages
july is the favorite month. During the
period Of six years from 1883 TO 1888 in
elusive the pumber of suicides in the
month OF July ranged from 500 to 500,
while the number during the remainder
of the year averaged from 200 to 800 only.
A characteristic japanese suicide oc-
c7,TreS at the famous shrines at Nikko.
An cid lady Of 90 wenb thither in August.
Her circumstances were good; she had two
sons in official positions and her homo in
Toxic WIS comfortable and happy. She
spent two days at Mike visiting the vari-
O;is tsinples and places Of note, and seemed
bright rnd c0ntented. But 90 daylight on
the tbipa Eaorning she was found with her
throat cut before little shrine ct the back
of the Temple of IyemitSu. From her
satehel the police took a paper wherein
was set forth, briefly but plainly, the mo-
tive of her suicide. 1t was very simple.
She had loved Nikko and wished to die
among its sacred groves. At her age the
probability OF being able to return there
appeared remote. Therefore she Gvailed
herself of the present opportunity, and
with kind farewslls to those left behind
made her exit-Publio Opinion.

just Kew She Escaped.

"EEriy in the '69s I was railroad tele-
graph OPERATOR desxn in Georgia. ''said he,
land I had Cnighty narrow escape from
being lynchod one day. It was In the after
noon. A gang Of dara1es came along to
where my station was, about three miles
from any human babitation. They had in
their grasp beautiful young white girl,
and they had tied her fast To one rail of the
track, right before my eyes. They then
stood there, and pointing revolvezS at my
head said if l interfered in any way they
would murder me. Five minutes before
the Atlantic ex prez7 was d2s they departed,
leaving the girl on the track to be out in
two by the train. I was in terrible sus-
pense. / knew l would be called a coward

because I knew the darkies would kill me

'But l was going to save my position any

station l ran down the track and with a
pair Of pliers cut the wire connecting the
signal to tAe station. By doing this |

that the vandals had cut the wire so that |
could not signal the train. See the fine
point? Well, while / was cutting the wire
the wind came up suddenly and blew per-

over SO that their tops touched the ground,

very train. Hc explained to me that just
as the train was about to strike the girl
that heavy gust Of wind came along. 1t
was SO powerful that it lifted one side of
the train over, making it run on one rail
for about 500 feet befor it fell back on the

Sunday Services.

Services we're conducted by Rev. Father M. E.
Murphy. The foundation of his discourse was the
Gospel read in the catholic service on this day.
The following is but brief condensation OF the
sermon which was largely explanatory of the
unity and trinity of God:
The mystery of the Blessed Trinity is the foun-
daton of all religion, and how infinitely glorious
scheme it is for human redemption! The Father,
Son. and Holy Ghost conformity the infinite and
everlasting God.
The finite mind of man cannot comprehend the
infinite wisdom of God. Behold the earth, its
cloud-capt mountains, its unmeasured deserts;
the oceans-no line has ever measured their un-
fathomable depths. Lift up your eyes to heaven
and survey the countless glories of the starry fir
mament-how brilliant is their glory, and how i'm
mense is their distance! If the works of God be
wonderful and mysterious how infinitely great
is the wisdom of Him who built all things. II am
the Lord that maketh all things; that stretch
eth forth the heavens alone, that spreadeth
abroad the earth by myself" II have made the
earth. and created man upon it; 1, even my hands,
have stretched out the heavens, and all their hosts
have commanded"
Our feeble minds may not be able to understand
the mystery of the Blessed Trinity, or compre.
bend Gods mysterious plan of salvation, but ev-
cry man feels within himself belief in God, and
all that is required of us is perfect faith in Him.
We may, perhaps. be tossed about on lifes jour.
ney the frail boat upon the tempestuous sea,
but our heavenly Father with heart of love more
Unreasonable than the oceans depth will watch
over and guide safely to a haven of eternal
rest if we but trust all to Him.
