Booms in Suicide Mania.

In one Of the Philadelphia asylums
for the insane there are certain apart
ments known as Suicide rooms" These
are set aside as harbors of refuge for
those patients who manifest a strong
desire to end their lives. Everything in
these rooms Is round. There are no
knobs or posts to the beds, for the
maniac would tie sheet around any
such projection and hang himself. For
the same reason there are no gas fix
lures and no inside shutters. There
are not even door knobs, while the
doors themselves are made to open out
ward. When the men undress their
clothes are carefully removed from the
room, so that they may not be used
for strangling their owners. All the
edges Of bureaus, the backs of chairs,
ETC., are carefully rounded, so that
there may be no points upon which the
inmates might beat their heads. No
canes or sticks are allowed in the
rooms. The doors are left open at night
and a keeper parades necessarily up
and down before them.

CAREERS CHOSEN BY CHILDREN

Most Girls Want to Be New Women
When They Grow Up.
"What would you like to bel" is a
question that has been put to the chill
dren of different nations during the
past year, with some startling results.
The replies to the inquiry among
French children are now being pub
lished, and some are quite as amusing
as those received from English and
American youngsters.
Judging from the replies of the girls,
it looks very much as If the new wom-

for instance, that Of these 442 little

careers, asks the Philadelphia Tele-

admitted to the bar had scarcely got
into her new robes of Office when
these questions were sent out. Yet
fifteen little girls declare their inten-
ton Of following her example.

primitive small boy susceptibility to
drums and gold braid and bang! bang!

Only one of these 264 belligerent
youths owns up to a bit Of vanity in
his choice Of a career, but it Is safe to
believe that, being human and French,
the others are not insensible to the
charms Of gold braid and spurs and
brass buttons. Says the honest one.
"The uniform is very pretty, SO that
my sisters girl friends will look at me-"
The would-be farmers have a touch
of poetry in their natures, not sur

boys prefer other defenses, as standing
just behind the can or continually NOV
ing about 1t.
The rest of the boys are robbers, and
circle about, attempting to steal the
treasure, or, in other words, kick 1t
away without being tagged. II one
succeeds, another Immediately kicks 1t,
and away goes the can down the street
with crowd of yelling robbers after
1t, doing their best to prevent the poor
miser from regainlng his position over
the treasure. If the miser succeeds In
tagging any boy who has kicked the
can before another boy kicks 1t, the boy
tagged becomes the miser and must
stand over the treasure.
OF course the boys who are attempt
ing to get at the can will help each
other. One should attract the misers
attention In front while another creeps
up from behind, or vice versa. If the
distracted guardian Of the treasure
turns his attention to the man behind
him, the man In front will Immediately
dart in, and 30 on. l think you will
find that the game, simple as 1t seems
offers numerous chances for judgment

Danish Export of Eprs.

In 1895 we scarcely knew Denmark
as an egg producer; but In that year
was founded the first Danish co-opera-
tive society for the export of eggs. The
same system which had succeeded with
butter was now to be applied to eggs.
The country was divided up into dis
tricts; each district had In some rail.
way station a collecting depot, and all
members Of the society were bound to
deliver three times week at the do
pot. The depot agent refused, or had a
right to refuse, all eggs more than four
days old, and every producer of each
district had distinctive number
branded on the egg. Thus, In the event
of an egg proving bad, the depot which
shipped 1t would be proceeded against,
and by means of the distinctive num-
Der the depot agent would be able to
detect the producer, on whom the loss
would finally fall.
by thus guaranteeing absolute fresh.
ness and making good any occasional
loss, the Danes established a biab
standard, and so created continuous
demand. And what Is the result? In
lS9o-the first year of the experiment.
there were established six local egg so-
cieties, with an aggregate of 2.OOO
members; IN 1900 there were actually
no fewer than s37 separate co-opera-
tive societies, with total membership
of 10000 producers! Is 1t surprising

Our Weights and Measures.


Perhaps you have heard that the gov
eminent Is establishing a standard
izing bureau" at Washington. 1t may
not have meant anything to you when
you read 1t, but it really Is an impor-
tant step toward setting up in business
wholly for ourselves. Why do you
know, If every weight and measure in
the United States had been destroyed
a few years ago, we should have had
to send to the standardizing bureau of
England for patterns to make the new
ones by.
We pride ourselves upon being a ma
ton of business men, but still we are
unconsclously very careless people
about the weights and measures we
trade by. They are made after all I'M
aginable designs, and, differing as they
do In shape, they easily deceive pur'
chasers-if the seller so wishes. But
when the standardizing bureau gets in
to thorough working order all this will
be changed. Weights and measures
will not only be uniform throughout
the country but they will be absolute
ly correct This standardizing will in
clude scientific instruments, SO that
surveying will. be done more accurate
