Unique WAYS Of suicide.

The shocking testimony at the state
house which went To show that we are
poisoning ourselves to death with our
wall paper, our paper boxes and a
dozen other articles of daily use which
contain arsenic. has been talked about
great deal lately, even at 5 o'clock
teas, when people generally balance
their cups in the air and talk about
nothing at all There is broad sug.
gestion for fiction writers in this matter.
For instance, the testimony at the state
house showed that lady had been
dangerously poisoned by green paper
box that she kept ON a shelf in her
sleeping room. Now If one wants to
commit suicide quietly, what better
way than TO have paper of undoubted-
ly arsenic colors pasted upon ones
walls, and leave some green paper
boxes lying carelessly about ones
rooms and wear clothes that are dyed
with arsenicl
Or If any lady wants to murder an
other, for instance, let her send her a
present OF a handsome new bonnet in
a green paper box which is heavily
charged with arsenic and so prepared
as to transfer its deadly elements to the
atmosphere of the room at once. OF
course the recipient. of the bonn ct
would keep the box around for several
days, aud meantime the deadly work
would be done. Ii is rather strange
that this method of destruction has not
been hit upon before. Murderers and
novelists are slow to utilize the resour.
