suicide to Escape sumering.

The question rs suicide a SIM" made
so notorious some months ago by Col
Robert G. Ingersolrs spirited arguments
on the negative side, is raised again;
this time not by theological disputants,
but by scientists who combine the science
of law with that of medicine. At the
meeting of the Legal Congress
in New York the other day the discussion
of the subject was precipitated by a pa
per read by Gustave Boehm, of New
York. in which he asserted that under
certain conditions a person was justified
in taking his or her own life. His view
was acquiesced in by another member
of the congress. who went little fur
Their. and said that physicians were I'M
doubtedly justified in taking life under
certain circumstances. He instanced
a man suffering from cancer Of the throat,
when the attending physician knew pos
itively that death must and would shortly
ensue, and said the physician would be
justified in ending the life of the suf-
ferer, with the sufferers consent, or
upon the sufferers request. He stated
further that he expected to live to see
the time when legislation would provide
a competent board to pass upon cases of
the kind.
Another member vigorously combatted
the proposition, and asserted that a ply
stefan had no right whatsoever to take
life, even If the failure to do so entail
ed the most excruciating agonies, except
in obstetrical cases. when one life must be
sacrificed to save another life; and
then it was the doctors duty to save the
adult
The Medico-Legal Congress is posi-
bly, the best place to discuss such ques-
lions, though it is probably unfortunate
that the discussion has been made pub
lie and will be commented on by per-
sons who for the sake of posing as being
the possessors of original ideas. will
take the ground that suicide is justifia-
BILE. A great safeguard for society is
in the long-accepted theory that the
taking of human life, whether it be the
life of ones self or of some other, is
heinous offense in the sight of the law
and the sight of the Lord. Any teach
ing which tends to break down that theo-
ry is dangerous, no matter If it is found
ed on the most tenable grounds In
stead of intoxicating a disminished re-
spect for human life, the need of the
times is that an increased respect for
is should be taught.

The worlds wooden ships.

The New York papers, which take the
I United Press dispatches are having a good
/ deal Of fun at the expense Of the New
/ York World and other papers, which take
/ the service of the Chicago Associated
/ Press. The World announced on the morn
ing Of the day Of the first Of the series
of races between the Defender and the
| Valkyrie that those who wanted the fresh
Il est news OF the race should watch its
bulletin boards, because there they would
find the news fresh and red hot" No
Refrigerator news would answer the
Worlds purpose. That paper had wood
en- models of the racing yachts constructed
( which were operated In front of the World
building by means Of strings. 1t was IN
derstood that anybody watching these
models could tell exactly how the race
was progressing. as they were moved in
accordance with the information convey
ed in the dispatches. which were re-
ceived almost continually from the begin
ming to the end Of the race.
The World was unfortunate in having
news service that wasn't well informed
respecting the race, and hence the Val
kyrie was shown to be in the lead during
nearly the whole of the race. Not only
did the Worlds models show the Valky-
RE to be in the lead, but the Worlds
red hot" bulletins told the same story.
The New York Sun makes the statement
that the fact that the Defender had won
the race was known in Glasgow long be-
fore It was known in the World office,
and that If the World had had an agent
in that city he could have cabled the
news to the World about ten minutes be-
fore the World received it through the
Associated Press.
In other cities the papers that take the
Chicago Associated Press were as badly
left as wars the World. In Washington,
D. c.. for instance, the old and reliable
Evening Star. which prides itself on never
making mistakes, was telling its patrons
that the Valkyrie was far in the lead,
when as a matter of fact, the Defender
had already won the race. In New Or
leans the leading morning papers which
are clients of the Chicago Associated
Press. had to apologize for misleading its
bulletins.
1t is not known whether or not the
World will operate to-day its wooden
models of the contesting yachts. If it
does the chances are that it will have the
strings by which they are operated tied
to the United Press, the press associa-
ton with which the Southern Associated
Press is allied. 1t will hardly take the
risk Of depending upon the Chicago Asso>
ciated Press. That association has put
it in such a ridiculous position that it is
doubtful if it will have the courage to
talk of its wonderful enterprise and the
amount of money expended by it to give
the people ''red hot news"

Mr.. Charles Godfrey Leland, in his lie

no." which tale, condensed, runs some
what as follows: A pretty maid is loiter-
ing by the river side, and says, Il wish
in all truth that this dancing river were
a fine, brave youth, and l would love
him." Then voice answers from the wa
ter, Thou hast chosen me-" Then ever
after when she washed in the water she
felt her lovers kisses. Being a tidy girl
she was fond of her additions, whereas
the other girls Held water, and possibly
soap in horror. So the poor maid was sus-
pected of sorccry, and with blows and
bitter curses her enemies threw her into
the river. when up rose a beautiful youth
from the Arno-the river is specified-and
he clasped the maid IN his strong arms,
and then she cried out: Farewell to you
all. \ FISH cannot drown in the water,
now l am a fish, you know-the Arno' $
loving daughter Now here is a queer
parallel from the extreme upper North
Pacific side of America. 1t is not de rigueur
that an Eskimo girl should be careful of
her toilet, for water, though plentiful in
summer is ice in winter. This girl used
whale oil to lubricate her long black hair
with, and for long time no whales had
been killed nor blubber tried out. So she
sat near the sea and begged for oil, and
thus addressed the whale spirit "Give me
oil, o spirit of the whale, and | will love
thee: for without thee my hair is I'M
kempt." eve translate or transpose free
ly) Then the girl saw floating in toward
her on the surface of the water q thick
scum or OIL ana Sne TOOK Sheh and
SKINNED the oil, and then for long time
after she always had "a heap" of oil. But
the other girls were jealous and seeing
she had always a great store of oil, they
pitched her into the sea from off a high
rock, and he caught the girl and sat her
on his back and put out to sea with her.
and her wicked comrades heard her say:
This is nv true love. my spirit whale,
and now will l have lashings of blubber

the two bits of folklore? Not at all Ital-

Sweet Phyllis, one bright summer day.
Upon a rose d kiss impressed;
A butterfly which CHANGED that way
In turn the blushing bud caressed.

On, tickle heart, into a glade,
And there, upon a violet blue,
In ecstacy the kiss it laid.
The zephyr signing through the trees.
The fiowerets tender fragrance sips:
The kiss is waited on the breeze,
And finds home upon my lips.
And now, whene'er your face l see

To think We kept your kiss with me
So long and not returned it yet.

DIR. Chauneey NJ. Depew is a Presby-
terrain. and does not believe in latter-day
miracles. Nevertheless, while he was in
France during his vacation, which is now
about ending, he saw something which
might shake the faith--or strengthen
the faith, as the case may be-of some
men. While. at Lourdes he witnessed the
dipping of pilgrims in the famous holy
pool, and saw little girl cured of her
ailment in an instant. At least she and
the attendants said she was cured. and
she acted like it. If the cure was really
effected. then mairacle was perform
ed, and Dr. Depew saw it.
