NEW YORK, n. Y, June 9.-The Gus

that. while the number OF Cinnamon pass

INSECT CRIMINALS.
AlcIost Every Form of WronGdoing
Prevalent Among Them.
PUsbu1.ti Dispctch.

Almost every form and variety OF human
crime is common with insects. Cases of
theft are noticed among bees. Buchner, i'll
Ills 'PhySic Life OF Animals, speaks OF the
thievish bees, which. in order to save them
selves the trouble of working, attack well
stocked hives in masses, kill the sentlnels
and the inhabitants, rob the hives and carry
off the provisions. After repeated enter
prses OF this description. they acquire
taste for robbery and violence: they re-
cruit whole companies, which get more and
more numerous. and finally they form Tegu-
lar colonies of brigand bees.
But 1t is a still more curious fact that
these brigand bees can be produced arti-
ficialiy by giving working beesa mixture of
honey and brandy to drink The bees soon
take a delight in this beverage, which has
the same disastrous effect upon them as
upon men-they become ill-disposed andir
table and lose all desire to work. and final
ly, when they begin to feel hungry, they at
tack and plurder the well-supplied hives.
There is one variety in bees-tbe Sphe-
codes-which lives EXCLUSIVELY upon plunder.
They may thus he lid to be an example
of innate and organic criminality among in
Sects, and they represent what Prof. Lom-
broso calls the born crimnals-that is in
dividuals " no re led TO crime by their own
organic constitution.

THE CAUSE OF La GRIPPE.
Now Admitted TO BE From Deranged
Digestion.

OlSSStfOns
Careful observation in many cases of La
Grippe extending over several years have
gradually developed the fact that ii / very
generally caused from dieteuc errors.
In other words, during the prevalence OF
la Grippe, persons who suffer from indiges-
ton or stomach troubles are almost iD-
variably victims OF the epidemic.
This can lie readily understood when you
remember that the germs OF any disease
cannot gain foothold in the system of
man or woman who is blessed with perfect
digestion, because perfect digestion means
perfect health, and such persons can bid de-
Hance TO La Grippe or 10 any other prevail
ing epidemic.
For this reason physicians have recently
introduced into their practice the new
preparation known as Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets as an almost certain preventive OF
La Grippe, as this remedy by giving perfect
digestion and assimilation OF the food
80 fortifies the system against disease that
all danger from this epidemic is reduced
to minimum.
So popular have Stuart's Dyspepsia Tab
lets become that it is claimed within one
month after being made known 10 the pub
lie one hundred and ninety-three druggists
in Detroit, Mich, lone were selling ii and
today they pronounce it the most salts

NEW YORK SUICIDES.
Greater Number Than In Any City
in the World.

A greater number OF suicides was COM
mitted in New York city last year than in
any other city OF the world, says the
Philadelphia Press. The list of suicides for
the year comprises 45S victims, taken
from all walks OF life, and varying in
age from children OF less than fifteen years
10 men and women OF nearly nicety years
old. This list is the largest on record IN
this city, aithou gh the percentage Of
suicides 10 the entire population IS lower
than I'm some previous years
Nearly every walk and oZyHoOkin Central
Park has at one time or another been the
scene OF some suicide. A grim record OF
these events is kept at the arsenal II
shows that over 100 suicides have been
committed in thepark during the past three
years. At certain seasons of the year there
is an average of more than one suicide
day within the park limits Few suicides
arc committed out OF doors in cold weather.
Statistics show that over 90 per cent Of
all suicides IN New York have been com
mitted by Germans.
Experts in such matters account for
this by So wing that the Germans are so
much attached to thCir native land and
suffer such homeSicSness IN New \ Ork
that it amounts to a suicidal mania The
record of the motives for cOmmi tting
suicide is very hard to keep. In most
ca seS there seems TO be absolutely no
sufficient reason and the word "melan-
chOly'' is set down.
