SUICIDE AND THE SEXES.

It, is More Frequent With Men and is
( Destined to Increase With Women.
[ At the present day man is much more
prone to suicide than woman. This is
true of man in regard to epilepsy, crime
and other marked signs of degeneration
But 1t has been observed that as wo-
man approaches man in her mode OF
life she also becomes more familiar
with those abnormal conditions which
have previously been peculiar to man
The compare tive immunity of woman
from self-destruction in the past has
depended greatly upon the relatively
less harassing part she has taken In the
struggle for life. Tod day 1t is different
Now woman occupies the fields of art
literature, finance and even politics,
and, as she goes deeper into these voca-
tons, she must expect to suffer the con-
sequences. Already it is noticeable that
feminine suicide is not now entirely due
to the sentimental causes of disappoint-
ed love, desertion and jealousy, but to
ethose trials of more material order.
such as have led men to the oct of self
destruction.
Imitation far exceeds any other of
what are called trivial causes" of sui
eide, and asserts itself more in woman
than in man. 1t is much more common
than is supposed When f-destruc-
ton becomes epidemic, as it sometimes
does, its prevalence very largely de-
ponds upon imitation. 1T is said that
many years ago the wall of Thomas
Hood over "The One More Unfortunate
brought many a sentimental person to a
watery grave in the Thames. And in
our own day the vivid representation of
suicide upon the stage under conditions
appealing forcibly to the imagination
has been known to be followed by the
self-imposed death of persons whose
conditions resembled closely those of
the suicide in the drama.
Attempts have been made to prove
that climate has an effect upon the rate
of suicide. but these attempts have new
err done more than show that the tenn
perate regions have the highest ratio.
This. of course, Is not due to the eli
mate. but to the more complicated civ
!lizetion, the greater physical and men,
tai wear. and the more extensive inter
ference with natural laws met with in

WRONG AND RIGHT EATING.
One Makes Us Weak T: the Other
Makes Us Strong.

Wrong eating makes us weak, be-
cause it doesn't nourish us. 1t poisons
us, because it sets up poisonous fer
mentation in our stomach and the poi
sons so into our blood.
Wrong eating is eating indigestible
food, or eating more than our stomach
is able to digest
Right eating is eating digestible food,
food that the stomach is able TO digest,
food that will nourish you when 1t is
digested.
Right eating strengthens and invig-
crates the body, gives endurance, in
creases weight and restores health.
Wrong eating can be made right by
taking the Shaker Digestive Cordial.
This preparation, made by the Shakers
from simple herbs, roots and wine, is
delicious, refreshing and strengthening
to the body. 1t is powerful aid to dl-
gestion.
1t does not act by strongly stimulat-
ing the stomach, but with it's own di-
gestivetferment acts on the food in the
stomach, and reduces, instead of in
creasing, the work which the stomach
has togdo. ff
This is why it increases your strength,
why it will cure you of all the bad eff
fects of indigestion and of insufficient
nourishment, and purifles your system
of all dangerous indigestive poisons,
when nothing else has been found to re-
lieve you.

the temperate regions. While it is true
that climate exerts but little influence
over the rate of suicide, the seasons, on
the contrary, do strongly affect 1T. The
popular belief Is that suicide Is more
frequent during the months of winter
and spring This, however is incorrect
Cold, wet, damp weather does not, as so
many people suppose, promote despon
dency and suicide. Strange as 1t may
seem, at that period Of the year when
the sufferings Of the poor and the sick
are least. when employment is most
readily obtained, when the pleasure Of
living should be at it's highest, suicide is
most frequent. May, June and July,
the months of song and sunshine in all
countries, give the greatest number of
self murders For this there Is no sat-
isfactory explanation, unless we accept
that of the medical fraternity. which is
that during the period Of early summer
the organism is working at a higher
tension, every function of mind and
body is more active than at any other
period of the year. and consequently
there Is greater liability to sudden phys
ical and mental llapse.-Popular Sci
ence, Monthly.

Appearances are deceiving," said an
old lawyer the other day. "The strong
est case Of circumstantial evidence I
ever knew was against an innocent
man. My father was a lawyer, and in
the criminal practice. One of his CHI
ents was hanged for a murder which
he never committed.
3Just at the edge of our town lived a
rich old man in a grand old house. He
had no family, and was alone with his
servants. One night there was a fear
full disturbance in his house, and neigh
bors hurried in. Several pistol shots
had been fired. The rich old man was
dead, with bullet in his brain, and
the butler lay, with his hands full of
jewelry and watches, right In the door,
way Of the. old man room, with bull
let somewhere In his head, but he was
not dead.
His revolver lay by his side, and, so
far as could be seen, the whole story
was told right there. The butler, who
had been in the house only about six
months, had attempted to rob his mas
ter, had been caught in the act and
shot, but had killed the old man in the
fight. That was the only translation of

PROTECTION FOR TIE HAY CROP


PROTECTION FOR TIE HAY CROP.
The constantly increasing manu-
facture of waterproof canvas shows
that there is q growing demand for it,
but we notice that the increased call
comes chiefly from the cities Farmers
ought to use more of it. 1t is important
not only to cut a good hay crop, but
to mature it we'll after cutting and
guard it from dampness and mold,
which surely comes If it encounters
rain storms or a long spell of wet
weather. Keep your hay dry in the
cock and in the stack and have it well
cured before taking it to the barn:
thus it will be sweet and fresh and all
the more nutritious to the animals who
feed on IL. Furthermore, hay thus
cared for retains a. bright, fresh APP
pearance and O. sweet odor, which will
enable 1t always to command the best
price when put on the market.
Whenever grass Is to he a day or two
in the field it is always liable to be
kept there q week or more by rain or
weather too damp or cloudy to dry it
in. and a single drenching rain or even
wetting injuries 1t not a little. 1t can
seldom be dried enough to put into the
NOW or stack the same day, and it is
not always desirable to do so. Heavy

fact that hay cured under the caps has
good green color, and goes to market
IN, IL IYoI -
dozen hay caps will cover about a ton
of hay and add from 81 to SO to its
value. These caps would cost not over
SO for half a dozen, and reckoning the
life of the cap sat five years, which is
certainly not too much n cared for, the
cost would not be over 40 cents a ton
per year, and the hay would bring
81 to So a ton more. Ready prepared
hay caps of excellent quality can be
purchased at very low prices to suit
the times
But this is not all that has to be done
to get hay to market In the best con-
dition. When stacked in the open,
stack covers should be used to protect
1T, and there are few farmers who
cannot afford one or more Of these.
They come In handy to spread over
half finished hay or grain stacks. part

or grain left on the wagon over night,
to spread under the separator, and to
throw over a reaper or threshing
machine at night. and numerous other
purposes on a farm. Loads of HAY or
grain on the way to the railroad or
boat landing should have cover
thrown over them. 1t Is a we'll known
fact that all the large hay and grain
dealers in cities take the greatest pos
sible care of their goods, and always
luse covers when goods are in transit
and the blame for hay being spoiled can
never be laid to them. 1t is certainly

decorated with flowers and ferns, pinks
and rose predominating. Rev. L. A.

Episcopal church, preached from the
text, Matthew 49, 10, And I say also
unto thee, that thou art Peter, and upon
this rock I will build My church; and
the gates of hell shall not prevail
against it." Mr.. Dent spoke of the
equality of all in the church and said
that each one should take to himself
the words of the text and realize that
he is rock on which to build to
church of Christ, He said that since
everyone is of more value than the
whole world, the one soul must be of as
much value as another.
The sermon was an able one and was
listened to by the congregation with
Wrapt attention.
A handsome and valuable pulpit Bible
has been presented for use IN the chapel

The Trusts and the Negro

The Herald is right Mr.. Wilcox s
application Of the fourteenth amend
ment does sound ludicrous. But, unfor-
tunately, the supreme court of the Unit
ed States has taken the same view as
Mr.. Wilcox. The chief justice, in a
case in which this point was made, said ::
THE court does not wish to hear argu-
ments on the question whether the pro-
vision in the fourteenth amendment to
the constitution, which forbids state
to deny to any person within it's jurisdic-
ton the equal protection of the laws, ap-
plies to corporations. We are all of the
opinion that it does"
The opinion Of the chief justice exalts
corporations above the states which Gre
ated them. 1t clothes the "Klondike
Association for the Promotion Of Marry
ing Hired Girls" with all the high rights
Of citizenship for which so many men
died. 1t sets at defiance the plain mean
ing Of the amendment, as a plain man
reads that amendment. Nevertheless
it is an utterance Of the infallible court
and he who questions its sense and just
ice is an anarchist, a blatherskite, a
sand-lotter, a menace to law and order
a noisy demagogue, and he ought to be
crucified as promptly as was the "pesti-
lent fellow" whom PLATE sent to Cal
vary for spreading his commuristic
propaganda over Judea.
The esteemed Herald will take heed
upto itself lest it fall into a state OF
chronic contempt of court and be en-
Joined to go hence.-Stockton Mail.

NUMBERING THE HOUSES

The Herald the other day suggested
that the numbering of the houses in this
city be done in more uniform and more
iegible manner. New York city has
taken up the same matter and hereafter
house numbers will be obligat tory there
The numbers are to be in white figures,
not less than two inches high, on a back
ground Of blue porcelain or similar ma
terial. They are not to be placed on
doors, but on the walls of buildings be-
tween the front door and the nearest
window.
In Los Angeles the street numbers,
where they exist, are of all sizes, shapes,
kind, formation and conditions of servl-
tude. Many Of them are illegible from
The sidewalk, except a telescope or
other magnifying power is used. Others
are invisible except at close range, hid
den by vines or rose bushes Still others
are small and some are so nearly the
color Of the house that they cannot be
distinguished.
While we are reaching out for reform
in the way of street signs, why not in
clude the house numbers in the move
ment. What is the use of being a city of
more than 100000 inhabitants and put
ting on metropolitan airs if we neglect
the prime considerations in making a

THE QUEEN REGENT DID IT

The queen regent OF Spain is maxim 6
her influence felt. The latest advices
from Madrid indicate that it was the
queen regents initiative that left Pre-
mier Azcarraga no alternative but
to resign. She expressed her dis
satisfaction with the administra-
tion of the Conservatives, and
said she had only allowed Seror
Canovas to remain in office in the hope
that he would modify the rigor of his
policy toward Cuba. She called atten-
tion to other scandals and abuses and
then waited for the government to re-
form. But the government did not re-
form. Canovas was assassinated, and
Azcarraga was given the opportunity
that his predecessor had scorned. He,
too, maintained the policy of oppression,
and now he has fallen by the wayside.
Whatever may be the personal opin-
ions Of Seror Sagasta, the Liberal
leader, who is called upon to head the
new cabinet, he is, by his own state
ments, committed to these reforms, to
give the largest possible measure of
home rule to Cuba, to reverse the Con-
servative policy in that island and in the
Philippines; 70 recall General Weyler
(this step has been rendered unn ecessary
by the butchers proffered resignation)
and to take such steps as shall prove to
the world that Spain is going to do
spontaneously and sincerely what the
United States wanted to accomplish
through mediation.
1t is not worth while to discuss now
the sincerity of Spain's intentions. What
she does will be of more Importance. 1t
is not probable that Cuba will now, just
when they are apparently about to gain
all they have been fighting for con-
sent to any halfway measures that will
leave them in the power of their op-
pressors.
AS for the queen. regent, she Is, per-
haps, entitled to credit for being
shrewdar and, keener Of sight than her
Conservative advisers, but it is hard
to believe that her change in policy was
dictated by genuine sympathy with the
Cubans. 1t has come too late in the
day to inspire such belief. The queen
regent could have adopted a policy of
toleraton two years ago, when the revo-
luton began, as we'll as now; but she
has waited until Cuba has begun 10
slip from the clutches of Spain and
played her last card in a desperate
chance.
1t is the part of the United States TO
not had their say.

GOOD OFFICES DECLINED

The American Protective Tariff league
is not using vinegar to catch flies. This
being the case, it should use more dis
elimination in sending out its postal
card offers. The Herald is in receipt of
proposition from the league to publish
an advertisement of its latest publica-
ton known as Document No. o." being
an exposition and a laudatiou of tn.
Dingley tariff law. The document ir
question, neatly sugar-coated with ''in-
formation" is an instrument Of the high
tariff propaganda, a campaign docu-
ment in the guise of useful" statistics
II it were an expose rather than arr ex-
position, The Herald would be inclined
to take some stock in it.
If the American system Of protection
is such great and beneficent institu-
ton, If its goods effects are already
bringing prosperity, it ought rot to be
necessary for the American Protective
Tariff league to pursue a campaign and
policy of false pretenses.
