DRESS UP FOR SUICIDE.
Said to Be an Invariable Rule With
Women Seeking Death. T4f2

Said to Be an Invariable Rule With
Women Seeking Death.
''If should ever be called upon to
furnish indisputable proof of the in
herent pride of woman" said a police
sergeant, II would point at once to her
invariable rule Of dressing up in her
best clothes when she goes out to COM
init suicide. In my experience on the
force have had occasion to handle a
good many suicides and afterward in
vestigate their personal affairs, and in
every instance l have found that the
poor unfortunates prepared themselves
for death by donning their best bib and
tucker.
THE majority of the printed reports
of suicides say that the clothes of the
dead woman were good or well made
or elegant If the woman contemplate
ing suicide owns a silk waist. she
wears it. Her broadcloth skirt and silk
petticoat naturally go with this gar
ment, and she selects her best shoes.
81 have looked up the history of
many Of these respectfully clad suicides
and have found that they owned but
one gown with which they could make
decent appearance on the street and
that that one good dress was chosen
without exception as the appropriate
garb in which to make the exit from
this worlds stage. 1t makes no differ.
ence what manner Of death Is chosen,
the costume is carefully selected.
LET a woman sleep her life away un-
der the influence of drugs or burn her
soul out with acids or sink into the
slime Of the river. she clothes herself in
her most becoming garments and seeks
the end with apparent tranquility
Her instinct Of gentility and elegance
in clothes is with her to the last, and
even in the face of death she shrinks
from public appearance in unbecom
ing raiment."-New York Sun.

High MountaIns of the Moon.


The Leibnitz range attains enormous
attitudes above the average level Of the
moons surface and is sometimes seen
projected far beyond the regular curva-
ture of disk. thus destroying the circu-
lar contour and giving IL notched or
serrated aspect. Several of the peaks
Of these southern mountains measure
10000 feet in altitude. while one has
been estimated to attain the great
height Of $4,000 feet. All the chief
mountains Of the moon which can be
seen from the earth with telescope
have had their heights ascertained. The
German observers. Beer and Maedler.
have calculated the height Of no fewer
than 1.095 lunar mountains. The Do
riel mountains supply an instance Of
great elevation. the peaks Of the three
leading ones being between $4,000 and
$4,000 feet high. Among other lunar
peaks may be mentioned Huyghens
81 900 feet: Hadley. $1,000 feet: Brad.
ley, $4,000 feet. and Wolf. 1000 feet.

practically" says an undertaken
quoted by the Philadelphia Record.
''every corpse nowadays is embalmed.
Perhaps not one body in hundred is
buried without having the fluid inject
ed. and that settles 1t. You won't read
your obituary notices then. People
are coming to realize this more and
more. and the old dread of being buried
alive Is fast dying out. But these
nervous individuals have got to have
some sort of post norton bugaboo to
worry them. II it isn't one thing. it's
another, and as soon as you convince
them that they are NOT going to be
buried alive they get grave robbers on
the brain. That's why we are now
making a speciality of burglar proof
caskets. Fact, assure you" NJ

THE YOUNG GAMBLER.
He Had an Even Chance, but Fate
Was Against Him.

He Had an Even Chance, but Fate
Was Against Him.
/ remember one handsome young fell
low whom used to meet occasionally
on the. staircase who captured my
youthful fancy. l met him only at
midday, as he did not rise till late, and
this fact. with a certain scrupulous ele-
gance and neatness in his dress, ought
to have made me suspect that he was a
gambler. In my inexperience it only
invested him with a certain romantic
mystery. 80
One morning as was going out to
my very early breakfast at cheap
Italian cafe on Long wharf was sur
prised to find him also descending the
staircase. He was scrupulouslyg dress
ed even at that early hour, but / was
struck by the fact that he was all in
black. and his slight figure, buttoned
to the throat in tightly fitting frock
coat, gave. fancied a singular melan-
choly to his pale southern face.
Nevertheless he greeted me with more
than his usual serene cordiality, and
remembered that he looked up with
a half puzzled. half amused expression
at the rosy morning sky as he walked
a few steps with me down the deserted
street. l could not help saying that
was 'astonished to see him up so early,
and he admitted that it was break in
his usual habits. but added, with a
smiling significance afterward re-
membered, that it was '.an even chance
If he did it again." sz..
AS we neared the street corner man
in buggy drove up impatiently. In
spite of the drivers evident haste my
handsome acquaintance got in leisure
~ and, lifting his glossy hat to me
with pleasant smile, was driven
away. l have a very lasting recollec-
ton of his face and figure as the buggy

LEARNING Al TRADE.
The Hanger OF Making Specialist
of n DeGinncr.

Inc AS&u8er Oh MItAinB n SpeclaiIbN
of n Beginner.
1t liz generally to the interest of an
employer that an apprentice should not
learn his trade as whole. but only a
little section of 1t. says Joserh Hprner
in Cassier's Magazine. Itpays Detter
to keep a lad repeating the perform
ance Of one section Of shis craftt,lan
tosteaeh him all. SAIores m oney Is made.
But the apprentice becomes a young
specialist, prig in his teens. cocksure
over some little piece of handicraft at
which he may earn something over, his
normal wages. and many a lad does
not become disiilusioned until he has to
face the world and try his luck in
other shops.
And therefore the best shops In
which to place lad are not the big es-
adjustments, but the small ones, where
every class Of work is done and where
tools and appliances are often scant.
A lad will learn more in these than in
those replete with every appliance and
infinitely subdivided into sections and
groups.
The best training for a lad today Is
that which he can evolve for himself.
The greatest evil that can befall him
Is to become specialist and nothing
more while in his teens. Yet that is
what must happen If he spends several
years tending machines or doing re-
petitive, unvarying tasks in one big es-
Enlistment.
The best training, therefore, today is
that gathered by the peripatetic youth.
II a lad cannot gain experience In one
place, he should move about, gathering
as much as he can accumulate with
one firll. then on to another, and at
tending training schools as opportunity
offers. His views become broadened,
he becomes self reliant, and in time,
having found his true work, he may
settle down as specialist.
