Tho great number of suicides lately,
esnecially among old people, suggests
tho need of doing everything possible
IN add to the interest of life and make
II easier for everyone to Introduce
cbeerfulness into the daily round and
common task" This can best be done
with the young. School chill
dren should be taught plenty
of bright songs, of kind that
will come back to them in after life and
dispel gloom. They should be given
an interest in art and music. Espe-
cia,ly they should be educated to love
and cultivate flowers. They should be
taken on summer excursions and
shown the wonders of botany. In ev-
ery conceivable way the beauty of COM
mon things. both in city and country,
should be opened up to the young. II
this were done men and women would
have more to think about than selfish
or family troubles. They would fall
back upon their mental treasures and
upon all-bountiful nature when gloomy
days came upon them. They would
brood less and would not think of end
ing their existence. If everyL ody
would devote their lives more to the
pursuits of happiness than they dc
there would be fewer suicides.

BIG FLEET ASSEMBLING.
Seventy warshlps Ordered to Hampto
ROuus,


Roads.
Washington, Aug. 19.-One of the
largest fleets of warships ever assem-
bled in an American port will be
brought together in the next few days
at Fort Monroe. Already tifty-seven
warships are under orders to rendez-
vous there and the orders still to be
issued will raise the total to the neigh
borhood of seventy.
Naval officials say it is difficult to
realize the extent of such Il marine ag-
gregation in one harbor. The orders
began issuing last Monday, when five
ships We're ordered to Fort Monroe.
On the 10th another ship was added.
on the 18th eight more We're sent and
on the 18th seventeen ships We're add
ed. To-day's orders include eighteen
more ships. There We're eight there
before
The movement of these ships north
ward is due to the close of hostilities,
and more from points of possible fever
infection. They will now be put in
thorough repair and their crews will
be gradually changed from naval mill
tiamen 10 sailors of the regular navy.
The Navy Department has not yet
determined what ships shall 90 to Ha-
vana, San Juan and other points of
Cuba and Porto Rico. There is felt to
he no hurry about this until the au-
thority of the United States is fully
established throughout the islands. In
the meantime the matter of policing
the shore points is being considered
and in due time n number of the light
draught auxiliary craft and some of
the single turrcted monitors will be
used for this coast patrol. II is found,
however, that only four of the old
monitors of the Civil war are fiji for
this service in southern waters.
