Suicides Increasing In Japan.

An essay on the prevalence OF sui
eide in Japan has been written by Mr..
Saito KokuIu, n native statistician.
Tho statistics extend over ten years,
increase in Japan, both actually and
in proportion to the total number Of
deaths. In 1885 and 1886 the num-
Der in proportion to the population
reached its highest. Mr.. Saito OBJ
serves that during these years there
was great rise in the price OF the
necessarics Of life. In the case
OF Japanese women, the age ut which
suicide is most frequent is about
twenty; tho corresponding period
with men is twenty-five. Compare
lively few women commit suicide af-
ter the twenty-fifth year, but men are
not safe until they are past forty.
Female suicides are rather more than
half those OF males, but with distinct
tendency TO increase. From January
to May are tho worst months for sui
cidea The number mounts rapidly
month by month from January TO
May, and keeps high until July, fall
ing to it's lowest in November. The
suicides Of December and January are
attributed partly to pecuniary troubles
at the close of the year, when all
accounts are supposed TO be closed
and all liabilities met. A rise in July
is attributed to'finnncal troubles at tho
half-year. In recent years the use of the
sword by suicides has decreased
greatly; hanging is the method most
frequently employed, nearly three
fourths Of he male suicides and near.
" half the females terminating their
lives IN this way; but among women
drowning is more common even than
hanging. Firearms and poison are
very rarely used, probably because
they are not readily obtainable, while
japanese of either sex always has "a
long girdle and always has water suf-
iicient In the deep wells in every vii
lage and adjacent to almost every
house. The figures show that tho
number of suicides varies year by
year with the price of rice.

Never before, probably. have SO
many Americans gone to Europe as
during the last summer. The annual
hegira of Americans to Europe has, in
fact, become an event of far-reachinp

patronage of wealthy Americans. Its

to declare larger dividends because so

are there fourishing American colo
nies in the larger cities OF Europe, but
they are found in its most remote cor
ners, so Tint many of them return homo
knowing much more of the Old World
than they do OF their own country.
Nor is there any prospect that this
preference of Americans for Europe
will die out. The Daily Messenger OF
Paris estimates that during the last
summer Americans have left 800, 00O,-
900 in gold in Europe; and there is
every reason to believe that this enor-
nous expenditure will continue to in-
crease in the future.

All sorts of complications have
arisen in connection with Ituly's new
postcard. The design of the card is
intended to commemorate the union
OF Rome with Italy aud the fall OF the
temporal power of the Pope. Leo

an offense tn the church, and in de-
ference to his protests Austria, Spain,
Portugal and several of the Southern
German states have refused to receive
it or pass it through their mails.

claims for compensation made on the

Why They DO Not Own Their House.,

The New York Sun says: Some per-
sons indulge in sentimental regrets
that no New Yorker of moderate
means may own the house he lives in
if it'be centrally located, but on the
other hand there are men abundantly
able to own their own homes who de-
liberately prefer to be renters because
they believe that the money repre-
sented by the value of house such as
they choose to occupy is more profit
able in the form OF active capital.
Many wealthy business men postpone
to old age the building OF house
chiefly because OF such considerations.

The opening OF the Danube to navi-

which was formally declared recently
by Emperor Francis Joseph to be now
accomplished, is an extremely impor-
tant event. The tremendous forma-

passing the rapids which rushed over
them was greatly diminished many
years ago, so that vessels drawing
nine feet could get by. The later
engineering operations have still fur

for all ordinary steam traffic beyond

Mckinley.
The later news from California and North
Dakota Is that In the precincts so far

votes is so small that both states should
be still classed as doubtful. The latest re-
turns indicate that the electoral vote OF the
states will be cast as follows:

Complete returns from 62 Of these. with the
others estimated from very nearly COM
plete returns, give Mckinley the state by

these figures more than 900 at most. These
returns for tho most part come In the shape
OF pluralities by counties, and the vote can
