A Bakers Dozen.

The usual story is that an unnamed
law OF England compelled bakers tc
give thirteen loaves to persons who
bought dozen loaves; but it does
not seem to be wholly correct. Laws
against lightweight loaves were en-.
acted in England, very severe upon
the bakers; and to avoid the penalties
the custom grew up of bakers giving
an extra loaf, known as the .in-
Oread,' or vantage loaf" or, in
scotland, the "tOo bread" Thirteen
was called also the devils dozen.n
because OF the ill-repute of the mum.

PRINCETON is furnishing its hazers
as such criminals should be punished.
The leader they have dismissed in a
way that will keep him out of all
American colleges. Three men were
suspended. The hazers of Leopold
are punished as follows: Two were
dismissed, but can enter another col
lege; two were dismissed and cannot
enter any other college; two were
suspended, one until Jan. l6, 1894,
and the other until March l, 1894.
Those who were dismissed without
letters have their college career cut
short, as it will be impossible for
them to matriculate elsewhere. The
hazers at Princeton were a disgrace
to civilization and manhood, and
Princeton honors herself in punish
ing them.

IT would puzzle the most profound
psychologist to attempt an explana-
tion Of New York's suicide statistics,
Great business depression naturally
accounts for an increase in the num-
Der OF suicides. but analysis Of the
statistics show some interesting facts.
The average suicide, strange as it
may seem, is not the poor man. The
person who seeks oblivion in self-de-
struction is usually he who has lived
in comfort if not in luxury, and who
Is too cowardly to face financial re-
verse like man. He lacks the pluck
necessary to go to his home and
frankly disclose the truth. So he
escapes by pellet of lead, and leaves
his family with only the stained nal me
of suicide. Poverty is not the chief
breeder Of self-destruction. Perhaps
the most prolific cause OF all is the
sudden realization that several down.
ward steps must be taken in the So
cial ladder.
