estimated if they are compared with
those between New York City and

the British from Durham, their land

seventy miles, would be approximately
the same as to so to Poughkecpsie

Causes for Suicide ia China.

So far rs | 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 intiict serious injury Oh another.
Suicide enables Il Chinese to take a
truly terrible revenge, for he believes
that his spirit will Indignantly haunt
ard injurc the living: and in most
cascs not from humanity. but from
the hope Of ayerting such direful
catastrophe. If master offends his
servant or makes him lose face or a
shopkcepcr his assistant or apprentice,
the surest revenge is to die on the
premises. for it not only involves the
mower of haunting and of intictlng
daily INJURIES. but renders it necessary
that the body should lie where death
occurs until an official inquiry is made.

dal and turmoil Of Il visit from 4 man

TO GUARD QUEEN VICTORIA.
Horses of Royal Stable Taught Not to
Fear Automobiles.

Few lives in this world are watched
with such care as Queen Victoria's
and those of the members of the royal
family. This is an old saying, but it
is particularly true in the case Of what
might be called automobilism, which
as yet is only a hobby in England. Still
steps have just been taken to protect
her majesty from any danger while
driving through the use of automo-
biles. All the horses in the royal sta
bic have been drilled in the presence
of an automobile. The horses in the
three stable yards at Windsor were
first led and then driven around sta
tionary car. Then the car was pro-
pelled around the horses. Finally the
car was moved between the horses IN
a dangerous way as they stood near
each other. The automobilist firally
made the car as Objectionable as pos
sible. The horses were very amenabln,
as they had already been schooled to
such noises as the playing OF bands,
the noise of cannon and railroad trains
and the cheering Of crowds. The best
brsd horses proved to be the least SEN
sitive to the novelty. pure bred Arab
