Causes For Suicide In China.

Causes For Suicide In China.
So far as l have been able to ascer~
tain. the causes Of suicide in China are.
not, as in Europe. profound melan-
cholia. heavy losses or disappointment
in love, but chiefly revenge and the de-
sire to inflict serious injury on another
Suicide enables Chinese to take a.
truly terrible revenge. for he believes
that his spirit will Indignantly haunt
and iniure the living. and the desire to-
save suicides life arises in most cases
not from humanity, but from the hope
of averting such direful catastrophe.
If a master offends his servant or
makes him lose face" or shopkeeper'
his assistant or apprentice. the surest
revenge Is to die on the premises. for it
not only involves the power of haunt
ing and Of inflicting daily injuries, but
renders it necessary that the body
should lie where death occurs until an
official inquiry Is made. which brings
into the house the scandal and turmoil
of visit from a mandarin with body
Of officials and retainers.
1t is quite common for man or wo-
man to walk into the courtyard Of q
person against whom he or she has q
grudge and take fatal dose Of opium

consul.
VERY well, then; my government
doesn't recognize you as consul.
briskly retorted Colonel Cartwell.

company"
At this the peacefully disposed con-
sui threatened to have a gunboat come
and lombard the place before he would
serve.
That's just what I'd like to see,
returned the colonel cheerily, "for then
the United States win fight you. as she
claims that Norfolk is still part Of the
Union, and between England and the
United States fighting we shall go
free"
