The Inexplioablo Connection Which Elk
lists Detween the Two.
"Close to the body Of the mar who
shot himself at Audubon park last
Wednesday night they found a small
hand mirror, said one Of the employees
of the city hall to the New Orleans
Times-Democrat man. There was
nothing especially remarkable in the
discovery itself, because at least so per
cent of the people who shoot them
selves or cut their Threats do so before
a looking glass; but what prompts
them, where the suggestion comes
from and what subtle connection it has
with the idea Of self-destruction, is a
profound and extraordinary mystery.
The great number Of cases makes it
evident that there is some potent rea-
son, and it is equally clear that the
same reason, whatever it may be, ap-
peals equally to all manner Of people.
l remember, some years ago, we had
what the papers call a suicide wave,
and there were three cases in n
r~eighborhood all in the same week.
One was an intoxicated shoemaker, an
other was a common sailor, who could
not read or write, and was distracted
with infiammatory rheumatism, and
the third was a man of education and
refinement, who became desperate be-
cause he lost his job. They were as
different in type and temperament as
you could possibly imagine, and all
took their lives while looking into mir
rors. l have heard it suggested that
a man who wants to put a bullet
through his brain instinctively turns
to a looking glass to see how to point
the weapon, but that is certainly all
nonsense. A blind man who meant
business would have no trouble reach
ing a vital spot. In my own opinion,
the impulse is based on a wild, fam
tastic form Of curiosity sudden,
strange craving to see how such a
thing would look. BY the way, there
Is a doctor here in New Orleans whc
once made a collection Of suicide mir
rors. He got hold of eight OF ten Of
them and used one as a shaving glass.
I fully expected to hear Of him Sitting
his iugular some fine morning, but he
got married and his wife made him
throw the relics in the trash BARRE"

Wrong Grade OF Iron Sent to japan
Comes Rack and Makes Money Here
A curious illustration of the economy
with which modern commerce anC
transportation is conducted. is given II
a report Of the Foreign Markets" sec.
ton Of the department Of agriculture
It is there stated that the farmers o.
Denmark find it profitable to buy Am
erican bacon and butter for their "
consumption and send that which they
produce themselves to the English
markets, where, by eason of its long
established reputation, It commands &
higher price than the American pro
duct. Another example Of similar sort
which also shows the phenomenal ad'
vance in iron prices which took place
last year, was the experience Of 8
prominent export house In New Horl
city. In 1898 this firm shipped a LOT
Of pig irCl to Japan. The grade SEM
was found to be unsuited to the Japan
ese market, however. The demand
there is said to be for a soft iron which
can be readily broken up into small
pieces for use in the primitive FORCES
and the American pigs proved dificul
to fracture In the customary way
Most Of the shipment was therefore
