TRIED TO END HER LIFE.


Violet Monroe Took Poison and
Turned on the Gas.
Violet Monroe, the keeper of an alleged
disfeputable house on c street, was found
yesterday afternoon about O'Clock in an
unconscious condition, the result of a dou-
BILE attempt to end her own life. She
drank dose Of poison. it is supposed, and
then turned on the gas. The unfortunate
woman is only about thirty-five years old
1t is said she has been living in the "Di-
vision" for several years. and has a sister
in the house with her. Financial troubles
have recently caused her to become de-
spondent. Then she had a quarrel with
he. male companion. and afterward, it Is
alleged. she expressed a desire to die. Be-
ing alone. as she declared herself to be,
with no one to care for her, she wanted to
leave this world.
Her sister, who Is known as Grace Mon
roe. detected the odor of gas in the house.
and when she went to make an investiea.
ton found that Violet had closed her room
and that gas was escaping from it, AS
soon as the door was opened she saw her
sister lying across the bed. The gas Vas
promptly turned on and the windows open-
ed. Then a physician was called. and he
succeeded In restoring the woman to con-
seriousness This morning her condition
was much improved. and 1t is thought She
will completely recover.

What Becomes of Ships Which Sinh
the Bottom of the Sea.


What Becomes of Ships Which Sink to
the Bottom of the Sea-
What becomes of the ship that sinks
in midocean? If il is of wood. it takes,
in the first place, considerable time for
it to reach the bottom. In 100 or more
fathoms Of water quarter Of an hour
will elapse before the ship reaches bot
tom. Itsinks slowly, and, when the bot
tom is reached, it falls gently into the
soft, oozy bed, with no crash or break
ing.
OF course, if it is laden with pig iron
or corresponding substances, or if it is
an iron ship, it sinks rapidly and some
times strikes the bottom with such force
as to smash in pieces Once sunken, a
ship becomes the prey of the countless
inhabitants of the ocean.
They swarm over and through the
great boat and make it their home. Be-
sides this they cover every inch of the
boat with thick layer of lime. This
takes time, Of course, and when one
generation dies another continues the
work, until finally the ship is so laden
with heavy incrustations, corals, sponges
and barnacles that, if wood, the creak-
ing timbers fall apart and slowly but
surely are absorbed in'the waste at the
sea bottom.
Iron vessels are demolished more
quickly than those of wood, which may
last for centuries. The only metals that
Withstand the chemical action of the
waves are gold and platinum. and glass
also seems unaffected. No matter how
long gold may be hidden in the ocean,
it will always be gold when recovered,
and this fact explains the many roman
tic and adventurous searches after hid
den submarine treasures lost in ship
wrecks.-Exchange.

Catching Cold.

The "cold spots,n meaning thereby
the surface areas peculiarly susceptible
to cold, are principally the nape of the
neck and the lower part of the back OF
the head, the front OF the abdomen and
the shins. The acute discomfort and
the sense of impending disaster which
result: from the steady play of a cur
rent of cold air upon the meek from be
hind are well known. The necessity of
keeping the abdomen warmly clad is
also generally carried into practice.
Curiously enough, few people are con-
seious of the danger they run by expos
ing the usually inadequately protected
shins to currents of air. People who
wear stockings, such as Highlanders,
golfers and cyclists, invariably take
precaution of turning the thick, wool
en- material down over the shins, the
better to protect them against loss of
heat, though, incidentally, the artifi-
cial establishment of the calves may
not be altogether foreign TO the man.
euver. Ii is an instance of how things
work together for good. 1t does not,
of course, follow because certain areas
are peculiarly susceptible to cold that
chill may not be conveyed to the nerv-
Gus system from other points. Pro-
longed sitting on stone, or even on
the damp grass, is well known to he a
fertile source of disease; and wet, cold
feet are also, with reason, credited
with paving the way to an early grave.

Sanitation In Asia.

The appearance OF plague at Bombay
and Calcutta has produced one good
effect at all events. Before its advent
those prosperous cities had come to be-
lieve that they had nothing 10 learn in
regard TO sanitation. There was time
when they were open TO reproach in
such matters as open sewers, polluted
water. and what not. But by dint Of
liberal expenditure of money and energy
they had made matters right and could
even challenge comparison with Paris,
Berlin and Vienna. When, however, the
awful eastern scourge, after striking
firm root at the western capital, flew
across the peninsula TO the eastern. the
public became a little doubtful as TO
whether sanitary precautions had been
duly observed. First came inquiry, then
dismay, indignation, wrath, as discov-
cry followed discovery, each more ap-
palling than the last. We refrain from
giving particulars. Even to read these
horrors is sickening. But still more
terrible question presents itself, If the
two most cultured and wealthiest cities
in Hindustan are in this dreadful con-
dition, what must be the state of less
favored centers of population in districts
where there are few whites and many
blacks? Were the plague TO penetrate
inland, it would, we fear, find many
towns only too ready for its reception.

Don't sprinkle salt for celery on the

If shakers are used put some on the
individual bread plate.
Don't tuck your napkin anywhere;
lay it unfolded once on your lap.
Don't wipe your mouth; if necessary
just press the lips with one corner of
the napkin.
Don't have individual butter plates;
they are passe. Bread and butter
plates are almost exclusively used now.
Don't butter bread and then break
or bite it. Butter each small portion
as you want it.
Don't spoon soup toward you, push
the spoon away from you and always
take it from the side of the spoon.
Don't ask for a second helping of
soup or anything at a formal dinner, it
is in execrable taste.
Don't above all things make a noise
in eating. Nothing is so ill-bred.
Don't unfold your napkin without
feeling if your soup bread is inside, you
may be very much mortified by having
a catastrophe.
Don't fold your napkin if staying
only for one meal anywhere, lay it
carelessly at one side of your plate.

Electric Bitters.

Electric Bitters is medicine suited
for any season, but perhaps more gen.
orally needed when the languid, ex-
hausted feeling prevails, when the liv-
er is torpid and sluggish and the need
of tonic and alternative is felt. A
prompt use of this medicine has often
averted long and perhaps fatal bilious
fevers. No medicine will act more
surely in eounteracting and freeing the
system from the malarial poison.
Headache, indigestion, constipation,
dizziness yield to Electric Bitters.

Secret of a Happy Life.

Nv friends question resolves itself
into Just this: 'How may be a happy
Christian with the word "happy"
doubIv underscored. IL is not useless
question. nor does it betray an un-
worthy ambition. 1t is a question
that thousands of Others are asking,
half-conseious of lurking disappoint-
mant that the religion which they
heard so extolled as the source OF ali
peace and JOY is not what they were Leu
TO believe.
The trouble with many is that they
are seeking for the happiness of emo
ton and not the happiness OF deeds
Happiness, sought for its own sake,
whether sought from Christ or from
the world. always eludes US. Christ
gives US happiness as the government
coins money, that it may be spent and
not boarded.
Take no less time than you already
have taken, my friend alone with God,
with your bible. on your knees. Nay,
spend more in this way, but be sure to
use every good impulse, every aspira-
ton to nobler, purer, more unselfish
life.
Rise from your knees each morning
with the settled purpose TO make some
one else happier, whether you are hap
py or not, to spend a sunshiny CHEEKY
day. so that father, mother, brother,
sister, or friend may catch the cheer.
Each day, when it is possible, find
some one with more clouds in her life
than there are in yours, and brush
them away for her.
In short, transmute all your desires
and aspirations for happiness and holi-
ness into practical, tangible efforts TO
make some one else happier and better.
''Take down those saints, and coin
them into shillings," once said CrOm-
well, of the silver saints in a Catholic
cathedral, ''and send them about their
Masters business SO we need TO take
down our lofty emotions from the Mich
es they occupy, and send them on
some errand of mercy and love.
DO not think much about yourself and
your emotions. Forget whether you
are happy or not, if you can. Remem-
ber only that others are unhappy, and
that you can Tighten their lot.
In very humble household duties, in
very little, everyday matters, you can
spend the coin of happiness that God
viii every morning give you upon your
knees, and every day you will go to
Him oftener and more earnestly for
more coin TO use for Him.
Even our Lord, you remember, not
only spent whole nights in prayer on
the mountain, but he went about in
doing good.
When you have learned to forget in
these kindly deeds whether you are
happy or not, you will never have un-
welcome doubts about being a Christi
an at all and you will suddenly re-
member some day that you are most
happy Christian after all, while all the
rest of the world will know that you
are an unselfish, useful Christian. -
