A CARNIVAL OF SU.CIl E

During the centuries Immediately pre-
ceding and those following the opening
OF the Christian era, voluntary death
was at its worst IN Europe, broadly
speaking, the teachings OF all tho philoso-
piers, orators and poets OF the time was
TINT suicide was not only justiiable, but
was "a noble and courageous act. Among
tho propagators OF this dortrins una!
he mentioned Plato, Ccoro.i Seneca.
Epictetus, Cleanthes and Marcus
Aurellius; anu it can bo truthfuliy ns.
serted chat many of the greatest men oi
pagan Europe died by their own hanos.
In this wayAristotle. Demosthenes, Hoho
Cato, Brutus. hannibal, Mank Antony
and many others met their death
This popularity Of suicide must nave
been due, To certain extent. TO thc
{ taaching OF the learned mer OF the time,
which has, as rule, "a powerfui iDiluence
upon the educated classes. And, ns tho
actions OF great men are usually followed
by numbers Of inferior mon who wish 10
rank with those they ape. tho frequency
of suicide among the hOipollio must be III
part attributed To the example OF tho
philosophers. Nevertheless it would not
bo correct to class even a majority OF
tho suicides OF this period among the
Greeks and Romans rs the result VI any
teaching. although many were nm
dou ubtedly due to that oause. IL Is certain
that the bulk Of the voluntary deaths,
occurring as they did among markedly
degenerate people, who were dctoriornting
with ovcrv generation, were like the sui
oides OF TO-DAY. due 70 INSANITY (using the
word in its widest sensc), disgust OF lie

A SPITE STORE.

A "spite store" which outdocs the well
known Richardson spite house" Oh the
east side, has just been completed In the
west end at Wcst End avenue, the Boule-
yard and One Hundred and Eighth street
The store Is ono OF tho smallest buildings

width at One Hundred and Eighth street,
tapering to IA sharp point at the south end.
lt is two stories in height. and the occu-
pant of the upper floor will be compelled
TO ascend and descend upon ladder. Ii
has a single wall Of brick extending along
the rear. The front Is of steel, with plato
glass windows, and the roof Is Of tile.
This curious structure Is erected upon

purchased <y tho De Peyster family short

the De peystCr homestead was located up
on the ground now occupied by So. Luke's
hospital, One Hundred and Thirteenth
street, Morningsde Heights. The rem
nant was left when West End avenue, the
Boulevard and One Hundred and Eighth
street wore opened, and Henry L. Cary,
the executor Of the DO Peyster estate, has
long been at a loss TO know what TO do
with 1t, as Mrs. sherman, the owner OF
lots on the corner, refused TO purchase it,
The plot was at last leased for "a term or

matter of principle, affecting not only
Brown but our whole college life ana

any more exciting amusement than my
eyes supplied to me.
~'We had three elephants for our tents
and baggage; aud one dear creature used
TO feed from my hands every day, and
seemed as gentle as any pet dog or cat.
one Of our government chaprasis was
particularly devoted To her, and invari
ably shared his meal of fruit or flour
cakes with his dumb friend. On par-
ticularly hot day, the Chaprasi, to my
surprise, placed his tiny child of six
months at the elephants feet. warning
hor expressly that the infant was in her
charge, and was TO be cared for till his
return. ! myself was an aye-witness OF
her wonderful sagaoity. Largo banana
trees and fig trees grew around, and, to
my surprise, the elephant broke off ono of
tine formers spreading leaves held IL
like fan in her trunk, and from time to
timo gracefully waved il over the slum-

Of the atm osphere or to keep of flies, |
