Attempt at Suicide
1t Might Have Been Prevented
TFrom the Boston Post.

L
While the walks in the Public Garden
we're crowded yesterday afternoon about
4.30 o'clock people near the entrance gates
at the corner of Beacon and Charles streets
were Mortified to see man suddenly plunge
knife repeatedly into his throat and fall TO
the ground.
While waiting for conveyance an officer
questioned the would-be suicide, who was
about so years Of age, as to his name, address,
and reason for wishing to end his life, but
the man steadfastly refused to give any infor'
nation regarding himself, He was taken TO
the Massachusetts General Hospital and
surgical attendance given him. Although
weak from loss of blood it is probable lie
will recover. About o'clock last night
hospital attendant got little information
from him. He said his name was Samuel
D., and tkat he came some weeks ago
from New Brunswick. The last few days
his head has felt queer, and he has been wan
dering about the city, not knowing which way
to turn. What impelled him to commit his
rash act he was unable to say.
The above is the familiar but terrible
story of the results of mental arrangement
caused by overstrain of the nervous system
People who have dizziness, headache or back
ache, or who are troubled with melancholy or
despondent feelings, are already well on the
road which leads to insanity and suicide.

Author of Animal Efigies and EmblematiC
Mounds, etc.

This book treats of the Mound-builders; their
occupation. modes of life, religions systems,
tribal divisions and early migrations.
The work contains descriptions OF the earth
works of all classes. The classification of the
mounds is made according to their uses,
whether as village residences, as defenses, as
religious structures, or as sacrifcial or burial
places.
The work contains many Illustrations and
descriptions OF Mound-builders' relics, es-
pecially pipes and pottery.
The value OF the book is that 1t contains a
comprehensive view Of the whole field, and
gives information about the mounds and relics
Of all states and districts. 1t is one OF series
which is devoted to prehistoric America, and
perhaps would be regarded as the most inter
esting volume.

TRADE WITH CENTRAL AMERICA.

For some years past trade with Central
America has been taxed to the life and death
point by the Pacific Mail Company. One
merchant is reported as saying:
Five months ago, under the schedule of rates
maintained by the Pacific Mail Steamship Com
pany goods that were purchased here actually
doubled in price when freight bills were paid
Trade was diverted from this city. Ii was
cheaper for Central American merchants to bring
their goods from New York.
No wonder the trade of a city languishes
when transportation is conducted on the
principle outlined ia the above. Ii is even
worse than charging all the traffic will bear,
since the charge was so high that trade was
sent to Atlantic cities. OF course, the prod
ucts of the Central American States went
for distribution to ports that goods could be
purchased from at living rates. The estab-
lishment of the Spanish-American line Of
steamships will compel the Pacific Mail to
reduce its rates. The increase in trade that
will result will doubtless give both lines as
much business as they can do, but mer-
chants should bear in mind however, that
a failure TO support the new line will bring
back the old condition of affairs. The
Pacific Mail is not reducing rates to help
this city recover lost trade. but TO prevent
the competing line from doing all the

FUNERAL DIRECTORS.

There is proposition before the public
b require ali funeral directors to form
bemseives into an association subject to
Hles which may be established by a State
saafd. Corporations and firms engaged in
be business of funeral directing may OBJ
ain license upon making a showing of
illness and the payment of fees as estab-
lished in the proposed act One Of the
objects of the proposed act Is TO more effect
ually protect the people against contagious
diseases; another is to keep incompetent
persons from preparing the dead bodies Of
human beings for burial. The title of the
proposed act does not provide for uniform
rate OF charges, but this part Of the ordinary
objects OF association may be attended to
under thel power granted in section 5, to
give or withhold licenses. While good may
result from establishing standard Of it
ness to perform the delicate duties of a
funeral director the public would receive
with a shudder any intimation that funeral
charges may be increased. Il should be
borne in mind that funeral expenses are
not incurred by will; they are forced upon
families without regard to their pecuniary
ability to meet them. At present funeral
cripples family in ordinary circumstances
for period Of years. Any bill which will
work TO prevent discrimination In charges
in favor of poor people who are not pau
pers should be opposed. The harm that it
would do would overcome the good. A
family may limit its household expenses;
it may go without new clothes, without the
airings that conduce to physical health,
without the amusements which cheer the
mind; but sickness and death do not walk
or our bidding. A proposition which
