DOCTORS AND SUICIDE.

Statistics Show Peculiar Bond of Sym
pathy Between the Two.
During the last three years, says The
Medical and Surgical Reporter of Phil
adelphia, nearly one-fiftieth of all
deaths among physicians have been by
suicide. This is conservative estimate.
as many instances of death are attribut-
ed to accidental overdosing, as the tend
ency is always to hush up a suicide
whenever possible. But without includ-
ing such cases, the fact remains that
the medical profession is more prone to
suicide than any other. These statistics
may be explained by the Developments
of morbid fancies in the mia of doc
tor on account of his constant associa-
ton with the sick and dying, or Of an
actual Indifference to death, or because
he has the requisite knowledge of how
to die conveniently and painlessly.
Poisoning is a favorite method, but
it does not appear from statistics that
the cyanides or morphine have the pref
erence which would exist if epiourean
philosophy were carried into the choice
Of drugs. At the same time, physicians
usually put their knowledge of drugs to
practical execution in selecting poi
son for suicide. But if the mere knowI-
edge of the painlessness of death by GER
tain means is not determining factor
in leading SO many physicians to sui
eide, probably the accessibility of poi
SONS is.
Suicide is largely matter of insane
impulse, and such an impulse can often
Re ascertained even in the case of those
who have long been Indifferent to life
and have contemplated suicide. If
man must put on his hat and overcoat,
walk to drug store and tax his inge-
nuity for lie with which to explain his
desire for poison, he may postpone the
fatal act from mere inertia, or he may
meet a friend or have his interest in life
aroused by one of multitude Of every
day occurrences or physical exercise may
bring him to his senses. If, as is the
case with almost every doctor, he has
simply to feel in his pocket or walk
across his Office to get deadly poison,
the impulse may be carried into execu-
ton before anything can happen to sup
plant it in the brain.

Slave dealing in Constantinople, as
we know, always exists, and the wife
of pasha is not above the wretched
business. Richard Davey, in his book,
"The Sultan and His Subjects" says:
ga good deal of Turkish traffic in
slaves is conducted in the following
manner on very we'll conceived COM
mercial principles: The wife of pasta,
as matter of speculation, purchases
two or three little girls for trifie,
either from a slave dealer or some poor
woman, generally a Christian, possibly
a Bulgarian refugee who is unable to
bring up her own children. The lady
educates each child, teaches it those 40
complishments which are indispensable
to harem life. such as singing, dancing
and playing ON musical instruments,
washing, starching, ironing, embroid-
cry and even little cookery. To this
may be added a smattering of some for
eign language and very elementary
knowledge of Turkish caligraphy When
the child is grown up, if she is hand
some the lady turns her to account
and literally repays herself for her
trouble by selling her at high figure
to some pasha of her acquaintance
through the medium of one of the we'll
known old women whose business it is
to carry out transactions of that sort. :"

THEY COINED WORDS.

"Griggish?' he Intercepted. "What
Kind of look is that? lis it's it

oh, no, sillyi Don't you know what
griggish means? manufactured it ages

thing blithe and sprightly, you know.
That reminds me, had the most inter-

we kept a word store. "
"A word store?''
Yes, we coined words and sold
them to the inventors of foods and of
typewriters, and"-
How were they sold, by the yard or
by the dozen?" he interrupted
Neither way. We sold each word ac-
cording to the amount of brains expend-
ed in inventing it, except the words
pertaining to bicycles-they came high,
because they were SO fashionable. Oh,
it was quite large store, all divided
up into departments. There was the
bicycle department, the cigar depart
ment, the electrical department, the
patent medicine department-in fact,
all lines were represented in which in
ventions might be made needing names
You see, we sold name for so much,
and then if the invention proved sue
cessful we shared in the profits -
Well, said the man, 81 hope you
showed more taste in the matter than
the person who invented such words as
'cupograph, 'mimeograph, 'comptome-
ter and 'operaphone'-they give one

"Oh, yes, she replied, "our coinage
was of much higher order. OF course
we had words ending in graph and
phone and cycle. but they were exceed
ingly cheap, and inventors were rather
ashamed to be seen buying them Words
like 'pegamoid' came high. wish
could remember all the lovely names
we coined" she went on. 1.-THE only

The Dog and the Bicycle.

The bicycle has come to stay, and we
have nothing to say against it, but we
sometimes observe piece of thought
lessness on the part of oyclers the
cruelty of which ought not to mar an
innocent and healthful exercise The
cycler can run farther and faster than
any horse that was ever foaled, but he
sometimes forgets that what is easy for
himself and impossible for the horse
may be almost deadly to the dog. Cyclers
should leave their dogs at home. The
ordinary rate at which they move with
perfect ease, say eight or ten miles an
hour, and which they keep up easily
for hours together, is beyond a dog IS
powers, and even when they go more
slowly the occasional squirt which they
are sure to make taxes the dog to its ut
termost.
We have been grieved to see not a
few poor dogs painfully following their
masters, or, more commonly, their mis-
tresses, with signs of manifest distress,
and this we are sure, with no purpose
of cruelty on the owners part, but
through sober thoughtlessness. May we
not, then, ask cyclers to remember that
the dog is not fit companion ON a
wheel ride?-Our Animal Friends.

lures, all were alike lovely, and Roland
gazed at them long, as if he were liter
ally entranced and not under the infiu-
ence of some delusion of the senses,
some trick of overexcited nerves, which
must soon fade away. He fell on his

ment and gently laid his lips on the lit

ton were matter of course:

Among Them a Scheme to Keep Con-
ductors Honest.
1t is many years since Mark Twain's
lines immortalizing the enforced
punching of variously colored slips by
street railway conductors to prevent
their holding up the company ran
riot through the land, and the bluff
trip slips, the "pink trip slips" and the
"blue trip slips have long been aban-
doned by most street railways in favor
of the clock faced indicator. This is
fairly good device, but still it may be
worked by clever man not unwilling
to divert a few nickels to his own
pocket. In Toronto the company has
scheme which, SO far as any one knows,
has never yet been oircumvented by
conductor. Indeed, it is difficult to see
how it could be got around without the
connivance of passenger By this plan
the conductor does not touch money or
tickets at all. When collecting, he car
ries around specially made receptacle
into which the passenger must put his
own ticket or cent piece. The con-
ductor who violates the company s rules
by taking the fare from the passenger
and putting it into the fare holder is
liable to discharge. At the end of each
collection the receptacle is hung upon
special hook and must there remain un-
til more passengers board the car.
The cars of the trolley line betw cen
Minneapolis and St. Paul are fitted with
admirable appliances to prevent acct
dents to passengers careless in stepping
on and off. At the rear end of each car
are folding gates which are under the
control of the motorman, who does not
open them until the car has reached
full stop and closes them before it
starts again. Controlled by the same
lever as that which opens and closes the
gates are folding steps, which let down
when the gates open and close up when
they shut.
The managers of this same line have
carried the street Car advertising notion
to greater length than the managers
of most other trolley lines in the United
States In addition to the ordinary space
for advertisements over the windows,
the backs of the seats are provided with
panels for the display of advertising
matter. This does not, however, seem
to attract the advertisers of the twin
cities very much, for the panels are very
rarely utilized except for amusement
announcements. Exchange.

In thronged procession gliding slow
The great logs sullenly seward go.
A blind and laundering multitude
They jostle on the swollen food
Nor guess the inevitable fate
To meet them at the river gate
When noiseless hours have lured them dowI
To the wide booms, the busy town,
The mills, the chains, the screaming jaws
OF the eyiscerating saws.
Here in the murmur of the stream,
Slow journeying, perchance they dream
And hear once more their branches sigh
Far up the solitary sky.
Once more the rain winds softly moan
Where sways the high green top alone.
Once more the inland eagles call
From the white crag that broods DER all.

Where Towering willows lean to drink,
Some open beach at the river bend
Where shadows in the sun extend,
