A Very United Family.

The value attached by the poor, aud
ever by those who are not in the depths
of poverty, to decent surroundings in
family life is a very variable quantity.
Decent lodging is not by any means
universally regarded as one of the prime
n~ecessaries Of life. Occasionally it is
relegated to quite a back seat.
An instance was given before the
commission of a family of sever per-
sons-father, mother two grown up SOM
and three grown up daugbters-all liv-
ing in one room. With them this ar
rangement was a matter of choice, not
necessity, for they earned between them
about 81 a week, more than $3.50 a
year, and even from a slum landlord
they could no doubt have afforded to
rent another room or two. Having
screwed down the item of rent to an
irreducible minimum, they determined
to have a thoroughly good time, and this
is how the witness describes their pro-
ceedings: "In the evening they would
all 90 cut to the music halls and to the
theaters. On Saturday afternoon they
omnibus or conveyance that was going
into the country, and on Sunday they
would 60 to Brighton and to other
places" It is comforting to reflect that
these Arcadian beings were a unit
ed family and always took their pleas
ure together as we'll as their maps. It
IS not stated whether they took in
dodgers. From "The Housing Of the
English Poor" by the Right Hon. Lord
Monkswell, in North American Review.

DOCTORS AND SUICIDE,
Statistics Show q Peculiar Bond Of Sym
pathy Between the Two.

Statistics Show q 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 p ribut-
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 development
of morbid fancies in the mind of a 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 epicurean
philosophy were carried into the choice
of drugs. At the same time, physicians
usually put their knowledge of drugs to
a practical execution in selecting a 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 poi
sons is.
Suicide is largely a 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 a
man must put on his hat and overcoat,
walk to a drug store and tax his inge-
nuity for q 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 a 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 a deadly poison,
the impulse may be carried into execu-
ton before anything can happen to sup
plant it in the brain.

has been set to orchards of oranges,
walnuts, olives and deciduous fruits,
and considerable vineyard. The
mountain sides afford abundant graz
ing for the fiocks and herds.
Two miles or more from the entrance,
after a sharp turn in the road, and
once more crossing the stream, we have
our first glimpse of the house and
grounds. The broad lawns, beneath
the spreading live-oaks, make de-
lightfully cool and restful picture. The
house is nestled within a crescent of the
mountain. which rises behind it in ter
raced greenery. In front of the house
is an old-fashioned, stone-curbed well,
from which an ''iron-bound bucket
draws deliciously cold water. Ham
mocks and easy chairs invite you to
linger and listen to the murmur of the
stream, the plash of the fountain, the
song of the birds, the drone of the bee;
while you drink in deep breaths of ex-
hilarating air, and gaze your fill upon
the mountain peaks, the deep blue sky
and the fern-draped terraces.
BEYOND the house the scene becomes
more wild and rugged; the mountains
crouch closer together, leaving only
room for the road and the stream to
"wind about and in and out" until the
road disappears and nature is left in
undisturbed sublimity. Count Bozenta,
with the aid of Ralph Modjeska's en-.
gineering skill, has conducted water
from these mountain solitudes for do
nestle purposes and for irrigating his
orchards. In the improvements that
have been made there has been an effort
to supplement the natural beauties, but
to leave nature as undisturbed as posi-
bic, and the result is most pleasing.
The house is quaint and attractive
in its appearance, charming in its ar
rangement and interesting throughout.
But the room about which the rest of
the house seems to cluster is large
one which serves as studio, library and
music room combined The walls are
lined with bookcases, containing valu-
able libraries in Polish, French and
English A fireplace of medieval de-
sign, built of hewn stone, with high
narrow shelf is ornamental; the cool
evenings and mornings are made more
comfortable by its open fire. Couches
in coy corners. an organ, and a concert
grand piano, combine with pictures
and art treasures picked up in all lands
to make this room most quaint and at
tractive. The light comes through a
stadned-glass window high up in the
north gable. l recall a summers even
ing when the fading light of the sun
set afterglow fell softly through the
stained-glass of the window, and the
shadows crept from their hiding places
and reached out their arms to chase the
day away; when the sweet strains of
Ave Maria filled the quaint room with
melody, and the mind with tangle
of weird faneies, that made it all seem
a picture from an old-time story book.
