How is perfumery affected by liver
complaint among whales? is the re-
markable question put by The Little
Chronicle, Chicago's bright juvenile
paper.
Everybody knows how the neari is
produced by a diseased oyster but
very few know that perfumed sub
stance that rivals that of the sweetest
scented flower is produced by the dis
eased digestive organs of the sperm
whale This is the ambergris, or gray
amber, which IS picked up on the
shores of the Bahama islands in the
East Indies and Zanzibar regions
where the sperm whale is plentiful. 1t

Yes, August Flower still has the
largest sale of any medicine in the
civilized world. Your mothers and
grandmothers never thought of using
anything else for Indigestion or Bill

they seldom heard of Appendicitis

etc. They used August Flower to
clean out the system and stop fermen-
tation of undigestad food, regulate the
action of the liver, stimulate the nerv-
Gus and organic action of the system,
and that is all they took when feeling
dull and bad with headaches and other

Headquarters for the project have
been established iii the little town of
Hazlehurst. Miss. some 1865 miles north
OF New Orleans and 30 miles south of
Jackson. There resident agents are
busy distributing literature of a simple
kind and prospectuses to the field
hands OF ihe south. According to the
agents. the sugar planters of Hawaii
are badly i'm need of practiced labor for
their fields. Hitherto the agents have
found considerable difficulty in induc-
ing the southern field hands to leave
their cabins and certainty of existence
even for the glittering promise held out
to them in Hawaii. AS result the
shipments so far have been small
Nevertheless tho agents have been able
to gather Il collection of negroes. near
ly all of them ranging in age from 1G to
25, who have decided to take chances.

HOW Desperate PersOn0 Adopt Pre-
vailinE styles Of Destruction.
The remarkable methods several sui
cides have adopted in this city recently
call attention to the fact that methods
of self destruction are largely matters
of suggestion" said doctor. "When
man gets in that condition where he
wants to die, he has little inventive
ability and adopts the method that has
been brought to his mind. You will no.
tice that after one person kills himself
with acid there follows long list Of
acid suicides. 1t is the same with any
unusual method. One person gets up
an original way, and that inspires the
next one to try his hand until we have
whole series of such grewsome noy-
elites.
Il have proved this theory. Several
years ago was discussing this feature
of suicide with several friends. includ-
ing the coroner. They ridiculed my
theory. offered to prove 1t. 1t hap
pened that shooting and hanging were
popular just then. l wrote an article
for newspaper on the horrors Of
strangulation and pistol wounds and
explained the ease with which one
could kill himself with prussic acid.
Death from prussic acid. you know. is
absolutely instantaneous and, many be-
lieve. painless. There had not been a
suicide with this acid for more than a
year, but within week after the arti-
Gle was published there were four, and
one of the unfortunates had clippings
of my article in his pocket.
"Of course I was accused of killing
these four by suggestion. but l was
never arrested and do not feel guilty,
for when once person has decided to
kill himself the method is slight mat
ter. No person in his right mind will
commit suicide. We all know in our
sane moments of easy ways to end life.
but when in the suicidal frame Of mind
nature seems to rob us of our reason in
this direction, as If in desperate hope
