Suicide is appalingly common in China.
In Makuden a frequent mode Of taking
life especially among young wives is
biting off the heads of lucifer matches.
though the death from PHOSPHORUS poison
ing is known to be an asonizing one.
Swallowing gold leaf or chloride of mag
nesium jumping down wells or into rapid
rivers taking lead, cutting the throat and
stabbing the abdomen have been popular
modes of self destruction. But these are
rapidly giving place to suicide by opium.
owing to the facility with which 1t can be
obtained, the easy death which re-
suits from 1t, and the certainty of its op-
Grafton in the absence of the foreign doc
tor, his emetic and his stomach pump.
Medical mission hospitals in China save
the lives of hundreds of would-be suicides
every year.
The Chinese are perhaps the most prac-
teal people on earth, and curious sys-
tenn of moral bookkeeping adopted by
many shows this feature Of the national
character in a. very curious light There
are books intoxicating the price of "vir-
tue" and in these a regular debtor and
creditor account is opened, in which an in
dividual charges himself with all his ba
acts and credits himself with his good
ones. and the balance between the two
exhibits his moral position at any given
time.
At one place in China, where there was
no inn l slept in the room with a coffin
which had been unburied for five years.
because the geomancers had not decided
on a lucky site or date for the interment.
and for the whole time incense had been
burned before 1t morning and evening.
Outside OF commercial pursuits an over
towering shadow OF dulness rests on Chi
nese as upon much of the Oriental life.
The lack of an enlightened native press
and OF anything deserving the name of
contemporary literature; the grooviness OF
thought and action; the trammels of a
rigid etiquette; the absence OF athletics,
and even of ordinary exercise; the paucity
of recreat ions other than the play and the
restaurants which are often associated
with opium shops and vicious resorts, and
the fact that the learned having commit
ted the classics to memory, by which they
have rendered themselves eligible to Office.

"A Massachusetts Yankee has bee

A Massachusetts, Yankee has been
tempting immortality by inventing a hat
the wearing of which will assure TO the
mosi bald-heade OF the race a new and
luxurious head of nair TO all outward
appe arances the new patent hat differs
not at all from the ordinary derby. Its
secret is conc alei within the crown.
There, fastened 10 the interior OF the
crown and thereby raised an inch or
more above the hair Is small metal e.
ceptacle. Into this receptacle is locked a
specially prepared pad, which is soaked
before using with a secret combination OF
chemicals. When the hat Is worn the heat
Of the head generates a chemical action
which throws off from the pad a vapor.
This vapor acting on a perfectly bald
scalp will produce a new crop OF hair. or
II the heir has begun to fall II will renew
and strengt hen the growth. In this way
a bald-headed man need lose no time in
taking treatments but may go about his
business serene in the certainty that the
vapor is doing It's work.

FARM LABOR IN THE SOUTH.

There are some few men in the South
who, because of the trouble that the
"negrO problem'' in politics and crime
hos given them, are ready 10 declare
that they wish the negro well out of
the South. Now the fact is that there
are good negroes and bad negroes, as
there are of all other races, and 80 far
as farm labor is concerned those who
have all their lives worked the negro
in the South, and understand him, know
very we'll that there is no better farm
labor when lntelligently directed. This
fact is strikingly brought out in an adj
dress by Mr.. II. j. Merriam, of Battle
Hill, Georgia, before the Georgia State
Agricultural Society, at Dublin, Ga. .,
on the 9Th of August. lie said: "With
us IN the South the question Of farm
labor is essentially a question Of negro
labor. There are some among you, |
know, who would like to see the negro
cleared out Of the country; but if he
were, who would take his place? You
would have to depend almost entirely
on your own efforts until the foreigners
came to take the place of the blacks
a calamity I trust we shall never be
called upon to endure. The South is
to-day almost the only part of the coun-
try which is truly American, and hope
we shall learn to keep it 80. I tell you
can take my negroes and do as much
or more work, and do it as we'll as with
any lot of white mcn you can pick up.
The negro is the natural labor Of the
South and with proper management he
can be made TO pay" The speaker
then went on to detail his experience
in picking up white laborers about
Atlanta, and the unsatisfactory result
Of the experiments. With the negro,
"when you want your horse hitchcd up
on Sunday morning, you call out Here
Nose, catch my horse, will you p and
shortly the horse comes around well
groomed and shiny, with Moses holding
him, hat in hand, and smiling as you
come out. You may give him nicklc
or cigar, or nothing at ALT is all
the same to him. The Boss wants
his horse and that is enough. But if
the man is white man, if you can find
him, you say, 'Mr. Johnson, will you be
kind enough to hitch up the bay to the
buggy?' and Mr.. johnson goes about
the task moodily, muttering that he
was not hired to wait on people. But
when pay, day comes he expects all
tnese little extras to be settled for.
You may run off your negroes if you
Will; but for me l will keep mine fol
while yet, for | consider the negroes
on the whole, much superior to tho
class Of white labor you may be com
pelled to hire"
