A foreign medical society has been
giving attention to suicides and their
causes, and has come to the conclusion
that suicide is epidemic, and that a
great deal of it comes from what, for a
better name, is called suggestion. 1t is
an undeniable fact, and one Of which
few persons long since satisfied them
selves, that there is a mental bacilli as
well as a physical one, or, to get even
more closely down to the real state of
the case, that the material and imma-
terial differ largely because we can see
the one and cannot see the other. When
we are able to comprehend and admit
that the unseen has just as marked eff
fects on human life and conditions as
the seen and tangible, We shall be on
the high road to the solution of many
problems that now seem unsolvable.
We shall live to see the day when SEN
sational accounts Of murders, suicides,
ortures and outrages will be barred

papers, and also when trials of Grimm

The Cses of Soapstone.

Soapstone is absolutely imperVlous
to acids, and therefore is invaluable
for many purposes. Its most ordinary
use is for sinks, laundry tubs, fireplace
Innings and cake griddles. 1t is sald
that griddles made of soapstone never
require greasing. but it is the expert
ence of housewives that they are great

valuable, and in all of the arts it has
its uses. Some of the best soapstone in
the world is found in Albemarle Coun-
ty, Va. There is tract there OF nearly
two thousand acres containing quarries
Within the last twelve years this soap
stone has risen from obscurity TO the
first place in the market. 1t is so en-

in the neighboring region, and partcu-
larly by profuse watering of the eyes.
All remedies ordinarily applied pro-
duced no effect whatever, and as there
was no expectoration, the origin of the
cough has seemed obscure. The trou-
Bile, however, is explained by familiar
ty with the structure Of the tonsils.
Eeveral sets of nerve center and blend
at and near the outer surface of the
tonsils, where they form what Is de-
scribed under the name of tonsilar
plexus. The tonsils are connected by
muscles with the apparatus OF the
larynx, fact which makes treatment
of the tonsils complicated and difficult.
1t is a common practice to cut off the
tonsils, but this has been attended with
very grave results. The hearing IS
sometimes affected by this arrangement
and the larynx is necessarily involved.
The best surgeons are at present very
| careful how they perform any surgical
| operation on the throat or tongue, as
| it is fact past question that very few
| such operations are successful in the
! long run. There may be temporary re-
lief but it is almost invariably short

A Pleasing Little Fountain.

Let us tell you, says Philadelphia
editor, how to make miniature foun-
tain, and very pretty experiment it
is. The details are so we'll shown in
the accompanying illustration that you
might almost make the experiment
without a verbal description. but We
give it nevertheless.
Get a small empty bottle, similar to
those used for vaseline or pomade, and
through the cork make hole with a
hot wire. Run a stout straw or 0
small glass tube through the hole. the
lower end of it reaching nearly to the
bottom of the bottle.
Having poured water into the bottle
until it is about three fourths full, pu'
in the cork and seal it Theoretically
with varnish or sealing wax. Now lay
two or three pieces Of plotting paper
upon the bottom of plate and moiste;
them. Having placed the small bottle
upon the plotting paper, invert over
a pickle jar, or some other kind o
glass bottle, which has been warmed
over gas flame.
Press down hard upon the jar to pre-
| vent the air from entering at the DOT

Alcohol In Cold Weather.

A scientist thus explains why It is
so dangerous to use alcohol in the polar
regions: A moderate use of alcohol
causes a deposit of fat. Alcohol is not
turned into fuel in the muscle and nerve
cells, but serves as pure fuel in the
organism and replaces the combustion
of fat. Alcohol is, therefore, dangerou:
in the extreme cold, because 1t assist:
the throwing off of heat in great de-
gree. The effect is as if stove in ;
room should be heated red hot and ther
all the doors and windows thrown open
Heat produced by muscular work in thu
body is best obtained from carbo-hy
drates in the food, but, besides this, tn
indispensable production Of heat is bcs
obtained by fats. This explains the in
stinctive choice of the food of men. II
the tropics they eat little fat and mucl
fruit, while the polar dweller require
immense quantities of fat to keep u
the bodily combustion.

Changing Water Into Wine.

A pretty experiment, by which water
may appear to be changed to wine, is
quite within the reach of boys and
girls of ordinary ingenuity. The ac-
companying illustration shows how the
apparatus should be arranged. Get a
bottle such as is ordinarily used for
mustard, and, having fitted cork into
it, pierce the cork with two holes large
enough to receive good-sized straws.
The straws must be about eight inches
in length, and one of them should
reach nearly to the bottom of the bot
tie, the other just clearing the cork.
To the upper end Of each straw at
tach half walnut, making the joint
tight with sealing wax, and a third
straw is to be fitted to one of the
shells, as shown in the engraving, in
clining downward as a miniature drair
pipe.
Now pour water into the bottle unit
ii is two-thirds full, and insert thu
cork, being careful that it be made per
fectly tight. If water be poured int
the upper shell it will descend through
the straw into the bottle, and, unde
ordinary circumstances, would rais
the level Of the fluid. But as the bottl
is perfectly tight, the air within 1t i
compressed, and a certain quantity o
| the water will rise through the lowe
straw and flow off through the littl

An Invention for Composers of Music

Very many people have musical in

fine pianist improvises the most ex-

afterward recall and put in shape. A
Frenchman has invented an attach
ment to the piano with somewhat the
effect of a monograph roller, in that
a fine needle records the keys used in
producing the chords. 1t is possible
with this invention to catch the ideas
that emanate from the brain and flow
through the fingers. AS there is q
great deal of exquisite harmony that
goes to waste, the value Of this inyep
