DOCTORS AND SUICIDE.

statistics Show Peculiar Bond Of Sym
psthy Between the Two.
During the last three years, says Tho
Medical and Surgical Reporter Of Phil
adelphia, nearly one-fftieth Of all
deaths among physicians have been by
suicide. This Is conservative estimate,
as many instances of death are attribut-
ed to accidental overdosipg, az the tend
ENJOY 10 always to hush up q suicide
whenever possible. But without includ-
ing such cases, the fact remains that
the medical profession 10 more prone TO
suicide than any other. These statistics
may be explained by the developments
OF morbid fancies In the mind 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 IL favorite method, but
IL does not appear from statistics that
tho cynnides or morphine have the pref
erence which would exist II epicurean
philosophy were carried into the choice
Of druga At the same time, physicians
usually put their knowledge Of drugs to
practical execution In selecting poi
soD for suicide. But IL the mere knowl-
edge of the painlessness of death by cer-
tain means is not determining factor
in leading 30 many physicians to sui
oide, probably the accessibility of poi
sons is.
Suicide is largely matter Of insane
impulse, and such an impulse can often
be ascertained even IN tho case of those
who have long been Indifferent to life
and have contemplated suicide II a
man must put ON his hat and overcoat,
walk to drug store and tax his inge-
nuity for lie with which to explain bis
desire for poison, he may postpone the
fatal act from mere inertia, or he may
meet 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, be has
simply to feel in his pocket ofVwalk
across his offioe to get q deadly poison.
the impulse may be carried into execu-
tion before anything can happen to sup
plant it in the brain.

TWO STEAMERS START.
Another thousand Prospectors En- Route 10
Arctic Gold Fields.

Victoria, b. c., Aug. 16.-No steamer
ever carried from a Pacific coast a larger
or more strangely assorted freight of
men and their belongings than did the
big 5000 ton collier Bristol, when she
sailed, bound for Skaguay.
To say that every foot of accommosla-
ton was occupied is both hackneyed and
inadequate. She was full up from the
bottom OF her lowest. freight deck to the
promenade deck. Men and horses and
outfits were piled siv tiers high, and hun
dreds of tons Of cargo had been sifted in
where space was found available. There
were upwards of 500 men aboard with
their horses and outfits to last for one
or two years.
The Islander has just as big a crowd,
but much OF the space on her Is taken
up by contingent of mounted police,
their horses. dogs and outfits. They
realize that they have a winters trip
before them before they reach Dawson
City, and are taking dogs and sleighs.
The horses will be taken as far as pos
sible, and, when they are of no more
use. will be killed and used as food for
the dogs. A few of the men are going
up with the idea OF purchasing cheap
outfits from men who have become dis
couraged and are turning back, but
most of them are well provided and all
are taking pack animals. they having In
this respect taken the advice OF men who
went before and have written OF the
