While the walks in the Public Garden
we're crowded yesterday afternoon about
430 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 ali 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 inior'
nation regarding himself He was taken 70
the Massachusetts General Hospital and
surgical attendance given him. Although
weak from loss of blood it is probable lie
will recover. About 8 o'clock last night a
hospital attendant got q little information
from him. He said his name was Samuel
D., and THAT he came some weeks Ego
from New Brunswick. The last few days
his head has fell 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.

A Vivid Flash Photographed on His Mind
His Ow" Drunken Personality.
''Speaking Of curing men of the
drinking habit" said Mr.. Staholt, II
had friend who was cured by a flash
of lightning. He went to bed one
night drunk. There was nothing ex-
traordinary about that; he often did;
but on this occasion he was awakened
some hours later by tremendous
shock. He opened his eyes and looked
out into his room, or tried to look-it
was so dark he couldn't see anything
and lay there and Listened, thinking
that he might hear the sound again.
1t was summer, and warm; he was
lying on his back, covered only with a
sheet Suddenly fash of lightning
revealed to him the outlines of his own
form. There was but one thing that
could look as his living body looked to
him It that moment, and he imagined
that he saw it,;
''Wheu he came to think it over in
the morning, he knew, of course, that
he would not have been so frightened
if he had not been all unstrung; but he
had never realized what a hard drinker
he had come to be, and he made up his
mind that it was time to stop."-N. Y.

FATTENiNG OF CATTLE,
How to Select Animals That Grow Rap
idly in Weight.

How to Select Animals That Grow Rap
idly In Weight.
The quantity of food requisite to
bring cattle intended Tor the butcher
into condition does not vary less than
that which is required to secure plen-
tiful production of milk. Thus the
stature, the age, the race of the indi-
vidual and the relative proportions of
flesh and fat which we would have laid
on, all imply varied doles of various
kinds of forage. The age in especial
has to be considered; for in putting up
a young animal to fatten, we have both
flesh and fat to form. This is what al
ways occurs in the fattening of oxen of
two years old, and of pigs of ten or
eleven months The increase in living
weight experienced at various ages, is
not equally owing to accumulation;
this, indeed, may be SO in the case of
beasts the muscular system of which
has already attained complete develop
ment. but it is otherwise with young
and still growing animals.
Practice does much in enabling us to
select the animals that will fatten
readily. In a general way it is we'll to
choose young animals that have a
large chest, the body bulky and round-
ed, the ribs finely arched, the bones
small, the limbs short, the neck thick
for its length. the skin soft, plant, vel
vety to the touch and movable over
the body, particularly over the ribs,
the tail should be scanty, the buttocks
not deeply cleft, but tleshy. The look
of the animal should be sharp and bold.

A Monument to the Drunkenness OF Z
Great City.

"A mOnumenC 60 the Drunkonuo1D OF q
Great City.
Not long ago, in the beautiful city of
Edinburgh, the capital of Scotland,
fine university hall was built entirely
out of the profits from the sale of q
certain kind of ale. Doubtless it was
a generous thing for the maker of the
ale to devote a share of his profits to
useful public purpose; but the temper
ance people of Scotland bring the i'm
peachment against the hall that it is
monument to Edinburgh's drunken
ness.
Terrible pictures of the degradation
of the lower classes of Edinburgh, due
to the use Of drink, are often drawn by
residents of that city.
ION recent Saturday night" one
such resident writes to Scottish news
paper, II had occasion to pass through
Cowgate, Canongate and High Street.
The scenes was compelled to witness
made me shiver.
Drunken women, many of them
with BARNS in their arms, jostled me
every few steps. Gray-haired old men
filled the air with drunken yells and
vulgar language. 1t grieved me be-

haired lassie standing hopelessly drunk

Such scenes may be seen in many an
other Scotch and British city, and to
some extent in American cities as we'll.
While they are to be seen, should
money be accepted, even for benefcent
public purposes, which is derived from
a traffic which brings such disgrace to
our civilization?

INTEMPERANCE AND INSANITY,
Disastrous Consequences OF Using AIco-
hOltc Stlmulants. =

Dlsastroub Consequences OF Using AlC0-
- hoitc Stlmulants. =
Dr. Augustine Planus, of Paris, in an
article: summarizing the results of a
careful investigation made by himself,
says that q very large proportion
many more than a'ma jority of the total
of the numerous cases of insanity
which have been registered in that city
in the past few years, are attributable
entirely to the excessive use of intoxi-
eating liquors. Along with this, his re-
searches show that the vice of drunk
ennssss has increased very largely in
the French capital within the same
period. There is a correlation also,
according to- his conclusions, between
the vast number Of cases of lunacy re-
sulting from intoxlcation and the in
crease in the amount of drunkenness.
The same causes which promote this
vice operate to produce those excesses
which result in the arrangement of the
intellect which is known as insanity
the most terrible atfliction which can
befall our poor, imperfect humanity.
DR.. Planus finds that while the In.
crease!in the number of victims of the
vice of intoxication is due to q great
many causes, among which, is one of
particular interest, becAuse'it is excess
in indulgence from this cause which
most readily produces insanity. Thia

SHE HEARD MANY VOICES
Her Ears Were Out Of Focus, But He
Case Was Not Sin~ular

Her Ears We're Out Of Focus, But Her
Case Was Not Singular.
A few days ago a well-known teacher
Of singing presented herself to a physi-
clan, says the Mahogany Tree, and, in
irritated tone Of voice, said: doctor, I
wish you would tell me what ais me.
I hear fifty voices every time anyone
speaks to me-"
The doctor looked at her a moment
and then replied: MADAM, you proba-
bly, hear two" II am sure" persisted
the teacher, that I hear twenty" :"
'Two." stoically replied the doctor; and
he picked up tuning fork, touched it
and applied it to her ear. "What note
is that?'' he asked. She told him; and
he gave her the Same pitch in the other
ear: And that?" And, behold! it
sounded minor third lower.
'As I told you," said the medicine
man, ''you are suffering from q de-
preston of the nerves in one ear" To
use homely but significant misappli-
cation of terms, her ears were out of
focus. The teacher was in great dis
tress. 1T does not hurt, and it does
not show" she complained, "but
could better afford to have rheumatic
fever. Did anyone ever have it before?"
The doctor laughed. 'Bless your
heart, madam" he said, ''as many as
twenty of the Symphony orchestra men
had the same afiliction last winter"
Think of the possibilities OF the
spread of such a disease! Singers sing
out Of tune, players wander from the
pitch, and it may not be their fault.
Their ears may be out Of focus. Critics
suffering from the same disastrous
afhiction may wrongfully accuse per-
formers. All differences of opinion
may be due to this auricular depression.
The humorous possibilities arising from
the existence of such q complaint are
very suggestive. It will appear in the
light of boomerang to both artist and
critics.
