SUICIDES IN PARIS.
The Regular Autumn Epidemic Has
Set In.

From Public Opinion.
For some time past as many as twelve to
eighteen suicides have been registered daily at
the prefecture of police. On Sunday the total
was eleven. In the Rue Berthe woman suffer
ing from q nervous affection put an end to her
existence by swallowing tincture of iodine. A
diamond merchant named Cohen in the Rue
Maubeuge blew out his brains for reasons which
have not been ascertained. An old man of
siaty. in the Rue st. Martin, committed suicide
in similar fashion. In the Rue des Boulets a
man hanged himself, leaving behind him q
paper on which was written: mo work, no
bread I have not eaten anything for two
days. Enough Of this. En- route for the tur-
nip field" Starvation also induced widow in
the Rue de Palikso to sufoc te herself and
daughter, aged Thrice en-, with charcoal fumes.
Two young women drowned themselves in the
Seine, and an individual in the Rue des Py-
renees poisoned himself with laudanum. The
annual statistics show that an epidemic Of sui
cides takes place regularly at the commence
ment Of spring and autumn. Last April the
morgue was occasionally filled to overlooking
with the bodies Of suicides. Drowning in the
Seine is most generally selected in spring; in
autumn preference is given to asphyxiatlon by
means of charcoal fumes,

LONDON,S GROWTH.
1t 10 Quite as Remarkable as That Of
American Cities.

1t 10 Quite as Remarkable as That OF
American Cities.
From the Century.
We are too frequently disposed to think Of
the rapid growth of our American cities -
merely incidental to the settlement of new
country and TO regard the European cities a.
old and stationary. 1t Is true that their nuclei
are ancient, but SO far as the greater part of
their built-up area is concerned they are almost
or quite as new as the American cities. They,
like our own population centers, have grown
unprecedentedy in recent decades as tho result
OF modern transportation and industrial sys-
TENS. Thus London today is five times as large
as it was at the opening Of the present century.
From 900, 900 at that time the population of
London grew to l.500, 600 in 1880, and by
1888 it had increased to 2.5oO,OOo; Since
1855 it has more than doubled.
The present sovereign has witnessed q gain
OF 200 per cent or more since she began to
reign. There are three or four dwelling houses
now for every one that was visible at the date
OF her coronation. In the past 40 years from
1000 to 2, 500 miles of new streets have been
formed in London. Who, studying the growth
OF foreign cities, can doubt the continued growth
OF our own? London Is not an exception. All
the other great towns Of England have grown
up as II by magic within this century.
The same statement applies to those Of the
continent. Paris is five times as large as it was
rapidly than Paris; Vienna has expanded mar
velously since 1S40 An examination of the
causes which have built up these European
centers easily justifies the Judgment that none
OF our 20 leading American cities has begun to
approach lts maximum size.

Strange Case of Somnambulism.

A very strange case of somnambulism &C.
CURED at Dunbar, Fayotte county, Pa, Tues
day night. Mrs. Montgomery, widow living
on I'd avenue, was awakened by knock at the
door and inquired what was wanted. Receiv-
ing no reply, and as the knocking continued she
became frightened, thinking. perhaps, that it
was visit from robbers. She ran upstairs,
got a revolver fired three shots out Of the win
dow and called loudly for Mr.. Smith, neigh
Dor, that robbers were breaking in her house.
Mr.. Smith, hearing the shots and the lady call
ing ran to the rescue. Approaching the rear
of the house cautiously he was more than sur
prised to find there, still knocking on the door,
his own four year-old daughter. He picked
her up tendery, but she was awakened, and,
child-like, began crying. which set Mrs. Mont
gomery frantic, she imagining the child was
hot
