A writer in q monthly review, dis

Of mind and morals, are no longer read

elusive diet II novel reading is extreme
ly debilitating is proved by one series Of
facts which are observable in every part
Of the civilized world Men and women
among the reading classes no longer
marry in ANYTHING like such numbers as
they formerly did, and the reason is
that they have no plack in them to face
lives of Spartan simplicity on limited
incomes.
The result is disastrous TO women, in
aSmuch as il prevents many Of them
ever marrying Ut all For II woman

CIVILIZATION AND SUICIDE.

A recent Republic special tells
of the suicide of a young Cherokee
at Tahlequah, and winds up with
the casual remark that this is the
second Cherokee that has com
mitted suicide in the history of the
tribe"
If our representatives informa
ton is reliable, it points to re-
markable fact, and goes long way
towards substantiating the oft re-
peated assertion that as the human
race evolves to a higher civillza-
ton the crime of self murder in
creases.
AS civilization has advanced,
so has the practice of suicide" is
an axiom among many social
philosophers.
Not taking the Orient into cOA-
sideration, on account of the fact
that in most all countries of the
far east the national religions
teach, or at least cOuntenance,
self murder, we find that suicide
is crime peculiar to intellectual
people. In fact, a decade or more
since we arrived at that point in
race development where the So
biologists began to figure the ratio
per thousand inhabitants of self
killers as an index to the intellec-
tual capacity of the various ma
tions.
No specially prepared table of
statistics is necessary III support of
the assertion that Germany is the
most Intellectually industrious of
the European countries. Think
ing men often refer to it as the
home of higher philosophy and
the hot bed of the sciences, " yet
it annually has more suicides per
thousand inhabitants than any
other country outside of the
Orient.
France, England, Italy, Hun
gary and Russia come next in the
order named. In Spain and Por-
tugal, the only two countries in
Europe where civilization can be
said to be retrOgrading, or at d
standstill at the best. show the
lowest per cent. of self-murders.
Other facts which could be
brought in proof show that there
is something inseparable between
suicide and the higher plane OF
civilization. What that some
thug shall be called is riddle
which has not as yet been solved
