by those who knew him. He was as
energetic as a tugboat. and as tireless

But he failed to reach the goal.
One day he drove fifteen miles
through pouring rain, over roads hub
deep with mud. to see mana farmer

1t Is boldly affirmed Nv DIR. c. II.
Hughes, of st. Louis, in a recent paper
read before the Missouri State Medical
Association and published in the Alien
Isl and Neurologist that the world
suicides. He says
Not all men who commit suicide
ought, and more ought to that do not,
for the good of the race.
"As elfish man living as though all
the world was made for his sport or
gust. giving free course to every I'M
pulse of lust and passion, bringing the
natural safety, disgust, disappoint-
ment and disease on himself Of unregu-
lated Indulgence, who destroys him
self because he has made himself mis-
cradle and unfit to live, is a benefactor
to his race in taking sudden leave of
the world, and the world should speed
the parting guest The act, though
selfish and thus unmanly, Is also unin-
tentionally phllanthropic to his race, be
cause he thus lnsures the cutting short
of his kind, so far as he is concerned,
in the community.
IF the breeding of the unfit to live
could be stopped by more frequent sui
cides of the morally and physically un-
stable and viclously endowed-the neu-
ropathlc cripples. the mentally squint-
Drained and obliquely visloned, the
lame and halt and blind In mind and
morals, the cataract-covered con-
scienees-the millennium OF early happi-
ness would begin. AS 1t is and has
been, the suicides, though they have
given much sorrow in special Instances,
have as a rule done the world far more
good than harm by taking themselves
away, their departure averting the
compromising OF the worlds misery
through the multiplication of such mis-
cradle beings, unable, unfit, or unwill-
ing to lift and carry their share of life's
burdens or do proper and manly or

INVENTION OF scHooNERs
Interesting History of New England
Fishing Boats.

Fishing Boats.
The schooner was invented at Glou-
cester by builder of fishing-vessels.
History records that Captain Robin
son built and rugged a ketch, as they
were then called, masted and rugged 1t
In a peculiar manner; when launched
the peculiar motion she made as she
gllded Into the water from the stocks
caused one of the bystanders TO ex-
claim: oh, how she scoons! Robin
son instantly dashed a bottle OF rum
against her bow and exclaimed, a
schooner let her be! And thus the
schooner originated" This event hap
pened In 1713, and three years later
mention is made of the employment OF
Schooner" In the fisheries or Cape
Sable Nova Scotia.
The invention of the schooner was
an important event In the New Eng
land fisheries, for Its rig has been
found. after nearly two centuries or
trial. well adapted to fishing
employed In the Western Atlantic. 1t
has been materially improved, how
ever, since its adoption, and the LOFTY,
yachtlike fishing clipper of to-day
bears little resemblance to its ancient
prototype, even though the rig remains
the same In principle.
Immediately after the revolutionary
war the adoption of the "Chebocca
boat" became quite general, especially
along the north shore Of Massachu-
sets. These diminutiye craft, at first
ranging from about five to ten tons,
derived their specific name from Che
bacco, now part of the town OF Es-
sex, Mass, where they originated. Cat
rugged, with two masts, they were
handy" boats, and became 50 popular
that they could be met with on almost
all of the inshore grounds. In later
years, when some were so large as
from fifteen TO twenty tons, they grew
more venturesome, and their cruises
extended to the offshore islands.
Indeed, tradition tells of some going
as far as the West Indies during the
embargo period, carrying out cargoes
of fish and returning with rum, sugar
or molasses. The difficulty of inter
course at that time often made these
ventures profitable, and apparently less
risk was taken In these dimlnutiye
vessels than In larger craft.
As early as 1920 the plnky began to
supersede the Chebacco boat. This
was similar In form to the latter, being
sharp-sterned craft, but 1t was larger,
and carried bowsprit and lib, thus
having a full schooner rig. 1t was
most generally In use north OF Cape
Cod until about 1910. Meantime,
square-stern schooners, usually with
low quarter-decks thus distinguished
from the old-fashioned high-quarter-
deck craft of the Marblehead type,
were built, and for some years after
the last mentioned date they were gen.
orally preferred TO all others. Pros
perity led to continued improvement,
and about the middle of the century a
material change was made In the intro
duction of the modern clipper schoon-
ers.-Harper's
