II have made q study Of suicide
for many years" said DR.. G. E. Stall
OF New York, to the Inter ocean
writer. Among Western civilized
nations the French are the most
prone to It, Paris furnishing the
greatest number of suicides and A.
tempted suicides per annum.
Chicago is not as prolific in this
respect as most Of the other Rre8
cities of the world. The number per
1000 OF population is even less than
in other places. The strangest phe-
nomenon Is what call the Infection
of it. At times 1t becomes Q mania
with the people. In Paris, for In
stance. there will be very few sui
cides for comparatively long periods;
then 1t will break out. and for weeks
and months you will hear of cases
every day.
Suicide is very common in China, ="
he continued. "ln that empire there
are more suicides than in any other
portion of the habitable globe. The
Chinese seem to look upon self-de-
struction in many instances as a most
landable way OF terminating ones
existence Whenever Chinese man
or woman becomes entangled In any
serious trouble OF whatever nature
1t seems that his or her first thought
OF means OF escaping it Is by sui
eide. The two prevailing religions
OF China. Buddhism and Confucian-
Ism, both teach against self-destruo-
ton, and tell OF the awful miseries
that await the self-murderer in the
hades OF the Buddhist, and the people
look upon him as one who must have
sinned deeply in an existence.
Tho usual method OF suicide 10 by
the use of opium. hanging or drown.

guilty of this act are generally, as
among other races. driven to IL either
willingly or forcibly, by immortality

Suicide by cutting the throat, shoot
Ing or any other means which tend
to mutilate the body is seldom II ever
resorted to, as the Chinese believe
that to destroy the integrity OF the
human body will add to the misery
OF death or detrsct from the happi-
ness OF the soul
"They also believe that In the
world beyond the grave the resur.
rected are clad In garments similar

hence 1t is usual for all attempting
suicide to array themselves in their
