One may briefly describe Crete as
the largest OF the isles of Greece, being
about 1856 miles long and thirty miles
broad at the widest part mountain
Gus, but extremely fertile inhabited
by 3OO, 900 Greeks, of whom so, 900
ate Moslems, and with only three large
toW1rsaaeR Gambia and Retimo,
with 23.ooG IA, 900 and 5000 inhabi-
euts, resEksiveSY. So much one
MAJ. CLEAN from any gazetteer. But
not in that nor in the more detailed
description Of the encyclopedia will
you find more than the remotest hint
of the fascination which invests this
famous island, Homer's Island of =
Hundred Cities, the birthplace and
the burial place of the King of the
Olympian gods, the scene of some of
the finest romances of mythology, the
burial place of the great Spartan law
giver, and the scene of some of the
most interesting incidents in the early
development of Christianity. It is a
mountainous country and volcanic as
well-stA land of old upheaven from
the abyss by fire." It has scarcely
one bit OF ground that can be called a
plain, though that back of Canea is SO
called. New bits of land so near the
centre of civilization are 60 little
known, and few are better worth the
knowing, for every foot of it is historic
ground.

An English statistician says there is
not much of psychological mystery
in the fact that so many more people
commit suicide in summer than in
winter, and ne does not think that the
difference is in any large measure due
to the direct effect of cold upon
human minds and bodies. It must be
borne in memory, he says, that
drowning is the commonest method of
self-destruction. and resort to it is
difficult or impossible when rivers and
ponds are covered with icss1 This ao.
counts for a part of tae decrease.
Another part is explained by the cir
cumstance that in cold weather people
live more in association, and there is
thus less opportunity for committing
suicide. He does not think. however,
that it is possible to explain the matter
wholly without reference to the de-.
pressing effects of cold on the nervous
system, and the exciting effects of
heat. It requires some energy and
determination to commit suicide, and
this is lacking in q person suffering
from extreme ~ AL these consid-
erations working tsgether. the result
is that T@y lsonh endure through
the winfN q life which they have
ceased to rss1e, ard throw it away
when the season comes in which the
material difficulties in the way of con
tiponu existence are at their minimum,

been no rush on the part OF would-be

ATTENDANCE AT THE
UNIVERSITY or MICHIGAN.

Secretary Wade gave out the OFF,
cial registration in the different
departments of the University for
the first time Monday. While there
is a slight falling off in some depart
ments, it is not at all alarming, as
more students are registering every
day. Judging from the number who
registered last year after the 10th. Of
October, the registration will again
pass the 5000 mark by at least
hundred. The registration up to to-
night is 2, 1888, distributed as follows:
Literary department, 1909; engin-
eering, 236; medical, 399; law, 6S2:
pharmacy, II; dental, 227; homoe-
pathic medical, SO.
Last year the attendance at- this
time was 1856, distributed as fol
lows: Literary, l, ,212; engineering
265; medical, AS; law, 682; phar'
macy, 73; homeopathic, 81; dental
217.
This shows a slight falling off in
the first three departments, tie only
explanation for which is that it ii
quite likely the war drew more ava.
from them than from the others
Later figures may lessen the de
crease.

in politics recent writer, says of
him, among other truthful things;
He it is who permits the stream Of
ill-timed. ill-digested law to pour in
contradictory terms in succeeding
sessions from our Legislative halls;
for he, the lazy man; lets the vote OF
freemen be maneuvered in order to
send to the last place they are suited
for wmakers whose acquaintance
with law in some cases has been only
in the breach thereof. 1t is the
neglect by lazy men in politics that
makes the great honest working
cl asses grumble at the antics OF legal
acrobats.
Every man who casts his vote for
man unworthy of place IN our
legislative halls, is trifing with his
divinest right. Remember, on cleo
ton day that voting for members OF
the legislature is no trife. Don't
throw away your vote just to please
a friend. Go to some trouble, if
necessary. to learn the qualities Of
the various candidates and vote for
the very best man.

The MESSENGER greets the RECORD
this week with a half column Of
abuse and language unfit for ordi-
nary print. 1t manifests however,
it's proprietor's idea of newspaper
work, and we freely confess we don't
know what he is driving at, as it
refers to several matters to which
we plead absolute ignorance.
1t is also vague, indefinite and
unsatisfactory. Very unlike, for
instance the effort of two weeks ago
wherein he asked for public support
for the sheet and said "with the
fancies of visionary hope we invite
all to assist the MESSENGER, which
answers the demand of vexed imag-
ination, takes up the resources oi
farming, lends aid to all business
delves into the science OF mining,
brings back the wounded heart and
gives to every man a paradise OF
knowledge"
leaving an ordinary reader tC
wonder whether he had reae
an editorial effort, an exhorta
ton to religion or patent nedicin'
advertisement.
But billingsgate abuse is no
argument and in ordinary argu
ment it does not take the place
cold facts, and the public is still /
ignorance of why the quarterly re
ports are not published; why tn
sheet has defaulted in its contrac
with the county. and further, wh
the lists of voters names have ne
been published for the benefit OF IL
public this election. These are tn
things for which the MESSENGER
drawing extra good pay from Il
county and if it can't or won't
the work the true fact ought to
known to these interested.
