THE DAKOTA BLIZZARD.
The Worst Thing That Traveller Can En-
counter In the West.

The Worst Thing That n Traveller Can En-
COULTER In the West.
1.-THE worst thing that n traveller can
encounter is Dakota blizzard" said a
traveller to Globe-Democrat man. "a
Dakota blizzard is something like Sa-
hara sand storm, but with powdered ic'
instead of sand, and the thermometer
ranging thirty degrees below instead of
100 above. A traveller may outlive

will be smothered, but woe to the I'M

blizzard.

iron filings, is driven into his face with
terrific force; it becomes impossible to
distinguish objects at a distance OF a
dozen yards, and he may founder about
for hours within stones throw of his
own house without being able to find
it. Great drifts are piled up around
him, then whisked away, leaving the
ground perfectly bare; the wind seems
to resolve itself into a thousand whirl-
ing cyclones, and every open stretch of
snow into a maelstrom. In North Da-
kota many of the farmers stretch ropes
from their houses to tier barns so that
they venture out to feed their stock
during blizzards-which frequently last
two or three days-without danger OF
getting lost in the icy storm

tins of the mania are between twenty
Eve and forty-tive years of age. Women
do not seem to grow tired of life as
easily as men, but when they resolve to
shuttle off the mortal coil they almost
Invariably use poison to accomplish
their end. In some countries of Europe,
notably in Austria and Prussia, at
tempts at suicide occur very frequently
among schoolboys; one of the evil con-
sequences of the severe scholastic Gis-
cipline still prevailing in the two states.
Monaco, the seat of the famous gam
bling hell of Monte Carlo, has been the
scene of more sensational suicides than
any other spot in the universe. Ad-
vcnturers from all parts of the world
assemble there day after day to repair
their broken fortunes or TO gamble with
some one else's money If unsuccessful
they not infrequently end their exist
ence on the spot Although no longer
current news, the sensational suicide of
a Partisan lady, Nine. Gracioso RONALD,
is still talked about among the elect of
Monaco. This woman, after having
lost all her money at the gaming table,
retired for the night in her apartments
at the Hotel de Londres. She was
found the next morning in her bath
tub. The water had been turned on.
In order to make sure of killing herself
she had severed the main arteries of
both her wrists, and had left life bathed
in her own blood Shooting is, how
ever the favorite method of suicide at
Monaco, and this has become so COM
mon that a case of self-destruction no
longer attracts the least attention.
While, from one point of view, all
suicides are unworthy of notice, from
another they are of great interest. The
fearful method employed by Lingg,
the Chicago anarchist, to cheat the gal
lows will go down in history as one of
the most peculiar cases on record.
few days before the execution of the
Haymarkct agitators was to take place,
this young fellow exploded a dynamite
cartridge in his mouth, blowing off the
upper part of his face and cheating the
hangman at the same time.
Scarcely less thrilling was the end of
Charles Tamelin, a San Francisco
stevedore, who deliberately jumped in
TO the furnace of the lifeboat Gov. Ir-
win. He resisted all attempts to drag
him from the fire, and expired with
the words: Let me die" on his
SCARED lips.
A French woman who had been aban-
doned by her lover purchased fifty
leeches in various drug shops Upon
her return to her rooms on the Boule-
ward de la Villette, she undressed and
put the bloodsuckers all over her body
Some hours later friend, entering the
woman's apartment, found her lying
unconscious on her bed The leeches
had rolled of her body one by ono.

SELF-DESTRUCTION.
u It a Crime or the Result OF
Hopeless Insanity?
Views OF Eminent Scientists-Causes which
Promote Suicide-Peculiar Methods of
Self-Slaughter-Great Men Who
Killed Themselves.
Especial letter.


The study of suicide has become a sci
entific fad. Physicians, alienists and
amateurs have advanced theories by the
score to prove that suicide is an evil
dence of insanity. They argue that, in
asnuch as self-preservation is the first
law of life, no human in the full enjoy
uent of his reasoning powers would de-
prive himself of his existence. On the
other hand we have the examples of
eminent men who have taken their
lives under conditions which seem to
leave no room for doubt rs to their SAN
ity, Environment has much to do with
the development of suicidal tendencies.
The city of Paris, for instance, has
always led all other municipalities in
frequency of self-slaughter, and will
probably continue to do so as long as it
remains the Mecca of pleasure-seckers.
Communities whose population is kept
reasonably busy show the smallest per-
centage of suicide. Countries where
the people are ground down by eco
nomic tyranny have a higher ratio.
Those whose inhabitants are addicted
to careless living, as in the principality
of Monaco for instance, make the worst
showing Considered by nationalities,
Germany leads all other countries.
Some have ascribed this to the rapid in
crease of atheism, but the reason lies
deeper. The German is by nature of a
sad disposition and allows his morbid
feelings to develop into melancholia,
which is nothing more nor less than a
species of insanity. His direct opposite
is the negro, who rarely worries, and is
always willing to let the morrow take
care of itself Suicide among the col
ored population of the United States is
extremely rare, and in Africa is said to
be absolutely unknown.
From recent statistics it appears that
in this country more suicides are COM
United in summer than in winter, and
that the national holidays are selected
by many to make their exit from this
vale of tears. Poverty and disease do
not appear to be the cause of many self
murders. Financial troubles, love dis
appointments, delirium tremens and
moral cowardice figure conspicuously in
the police records, however The most
popular method of suicide is hanging.
Next comes drowning, closely followed
by poisoning and shooting.

Children should be warned against
the indiscriminate fashion they have of
putting everything in their mouths
while out of doors. Biting at the gloves
is very common trick, and even money
is often held between their teeth while
making change. People do not realize
that their children are constantly
carrying things to their mouths unless
they begin to notice them particularly
in regard to it, and they will then be
astonished to see what n prevailing
habit it is. Give a young child an UNI
brella, a stick a pencil to hold, and the
chances are it will be in the mouth
within five minutes; and when one con-
siders how many dangerous diseases
can be, and are, introduced into the
System solely through the mouth, it is
easy to understand why one cannot be
too careful Even rubbing the face
with the fingers in any way should al
ways be stopped. Many people have
the habit of putting the hands to the
face for no reason whatever and they
might easily carry germs to the mouth
unconsciously. Frequent ablution IL
also a great preventative OF contagious
diseases, and it would doubtless be a
good plan if nurses saw to it that the
faces and hands of their little charges
were thoroughly washed whenever
they return from an outin2.-N. Y.

posed that the reports of the existence
of such organizations was mere news,

To the student of human nature the
subject of suicide must always be one OF
unparalleled interest, and one which
more than any other will keep him
from losing the God-given instinct Of
self-preservation. Men grow strong by
studying the weaknesses of thci;

Some time ago a great excitement was

Soon after dark black dog would,
without previous bark or warning, rush
into the mon 'y-changers' bazaar, jump
onto the platform and grab all the gold
coins he could in his mouth, and then
dash away into the darkness This
happened about once every ten days
for months, until the money-changeEs
began 10 think the bazaar bewitched.
Men with sticks were placed here and
there TO catch the thief, but without
avail, and the native magistrate APP
pealed 10 the neighboring barracks for
aid. The colonel sent dozen mounted
men to stand guard, and twice the Jog
was chased, but always got away
Finally the troopers were ordered To
use their pistols, and the dog was laid
low An examination revealed that no
