cumstances and events . . Suicide
is justly held to be a crime; but there
may be suicide of hopes, of enthusi-
asrns, of capacities, of potential achieve

these when once revealed by some sud-
den Voice or Vision--to Continue to
accept conditions that deny rather
than to struggle through to those that

haps a species of mental and moral
suicide whose results may be more
fatal than those which pertain only to

What is the method OF making cloth alright.

The trick is in the varnish applied to
the silk. For one varnish, india rubber
is digested for week in oil OF turpentine,
then is heated gradually until a solution
is completed. Next warm boiled drying
oil is added, the whole is permitted to
simmer five minutes and after cooling
is strained through flannel The proper
tions are one pound of rubber to ix
pounds of oil of turpentine and one gal
Ion of drying oil. A good quality of boil
ed linseed oil, if it has ample time to dry
and harden, is a good balloon varnish by
itself.
