Michigan for visit to friends and rel
atives.
Mr. and Mrs. Scutt and their little
band returned from the camp meeting
some of them being poisoned almost tc
death by some water melons given
them when they started from here
One of the negro drivers, Andrew Rat
lift. got good dose of the poison and
he said he out prayed any preacher on
the ground, although he is one of the
worst negroes in town. The water mel
ons were purchased from Mr.. Martin
Moak. Say, Bro. Farmer, don't poison
us any more, please.
Messrs. Scutt and E. M. Mason and
several others went to McComb City to
attend the meeting of the Hoo Hoos.

answer all those questions about the
consolidation of New York and Brook

When Maria James elected TO the mayoralty
chair,
There'll be many wrongs corrected that are
now apparent there.
The sidewalks will be carpetcd, the streets
swept thrice day,
The alleys be as fragrant as fields of new

What with parties and receptions and occa-

There will be "A transformation around the

AID each ward in the city will be represented
then
By lovely alderwomen, and not horrid alder

A teachers examination was held at
Seneca, Kan, at which one of the ques-
lions in physiology was as follows:
"What is appendicitis, and what are It's
causes and cures?" Below are given a

Seneca Tribune:
at is disease of the appendix,
which is located somewhere between
the liver and the heart, the organ OF the
affections. F"

Fascinating John Bright.

Sir Wemyss Reid gives some interest
ing "reminiscences of John Bright In
Cassell's Magazine. The great Liberal
leader often sat in an old fashioned
armchair in the Reform club. He de-
lighted in talk and was fond of repeat
ing poetry. On one occasion he began
to talk to Sir Wemyss about his favorite
HYMNS. and as he warmed to his subject
he repeated some of them. 1t was a
strange subject, perhaps, for a club
smoking room, but it was still stranger
to observe that as he spoke with that
wonderful voice of his the other'men III

listen, and then, as though drawn by
an irresistible spell, drew nearer to-
him, until before long he had them all

master. John Bright reciting hymns In

The girl who has recently become in

DOCTORS AND SUICIDE.
Show n Peculiar Bond of Sym
pathy Between the Two.

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-fftieth OF all
deaths among physicians have been by
suicide. This is "a conservative estimate,
as many instances of death are attribut-
ed to accidental overlooking, as the tend
ency is always to hush up 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 development
of morbid fancies in the mind Of doc
tor Oh 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 favorite method, but
! il does not appear from statistics that
the cyanides or morphine have the pref
| erence which would exist if epicurean
philosophy were carried into the choice
of drugs. AT the same time, physicians
| usually put their knowledge OF drugs to
/ a practical execution i'll selecting poi
/ son for suicide. But if the mere knowl-
edge of the painlessness of death by GER
tain means is not a determining factor
! in leading so many physicians to sui
/ eide, probably the accessibility OF pol
sons is.
Suicide is largely matter of insane
impulse, and such an impulse can often
be ascertained even in the case of those
who have long been Indifferent to Life
and have contemplated suicide. If
man must put Oh his hat and overcoat
walk to drug store and tax his inge
nuity for a lie with which to explain his
desire for poison, he may postpone thu
fatal act from mere inertia, or he ma,
meet friend or have his interest Ill LII
aroused by one of multitude of every
day occurrences or physical exercise ma.
J bring him to his senses. If, as is tn
case with almost every doctor, he ha
