Alcohol and Suicide.

At the recent international congress OF
psychology, DR.. Mueller gave an interest
ing historical sketch of the etiology OF self
murGer, and by means of an elaborate
series of statistics, traced to alcohol the
primary cause of its marked increase OF
late years The author estimates the
number of suicides in Europe at $4,000
year, thus showing that the evil is increas-
ing at a greater rate than the population
The most favorite month for suicides Is
June, the least, December; early morning
is chosen in preference to the night, while
the mechanic class furnishes the largest
number Of subjects and the peasant the
least. Or. Mueller considers brandy the
most pcrncious form of alcohol, and traces
to its influence the bunting of those W cap
ons which in the struggle of life are the
most necessary TO sustain the conflict
