METHODS OF SUICIDE.
How Desperate Persons Adopt Pre-
vaiIfrsu styles of Destruction.

How Desperate Persons Adopt Pre-
vaiIfpg styles of Destruction.
--fhe remarkable methods several sui
ctles have adopted in this city recently
call attention to the fact that methods
of self destruction are largely matters
of suggestion said a doctor. when
a man gets I'm 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
a whole series of such grewSome nov
elites.
Il have proved this theory. Several
years ago l was discussing this feature
of suicide with several friends, includ-
ing the coroner. They ridiculed my
theory. l offered to prove it. 1t hap
pened that shooting and hanging were
popular just then. l wrote an article
for u newspaper on the horrors of
strangulation and pistol wounds and
explained the ease with which one
could kllb himself with pruSSlc acid.
Death from prussic acid, you know, is
absolutely instantaneous and. many be-
lieye, 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
of preventing the sacrifice."-NewY York

How rhey Treated wa.binrton.

AS an example of the progress of
medicine during the last century The
Medical Record cites the case of Wash
ington's last illness. He died of laryn-
geal diphtheria. and the treatment was,
il would seem, for an old man sick
with a disease. very exhausting to the
vitality. 1t consisted in the abstrac-
tion of between two and three quarts
of blood, the administration of about
30 grains of calomel and 6 grains of
tartar emetic and an injection, with ex-
ternal application of blister. And yet
so strong was Washington's constitu-
ton that he survived this treatment for
81 hours.

IN THE AIR.
The Germs of La Grippe are Convey d
Through the Atmosphere.

Through the Atmosphere.
No one can escape the Ia grippe
germ because when an epidemic oil
the disease is prevailing the air is
laden with it.
The reason everyone does not have
the disease at the same time is be-
cause the persons who are enjoying
perfecs health are able to successfully
resist and throw off the infection,
while those, who for any reason are
not in the best of health fall read Y
victims.
The first symptoms are those of
acute catarrh resembling hard cold,
and if prompt treatment is applied at
this time, it can easily be broken up;
one of the best remedies at this stage
| is Stuart's Catarrh Tablets, sold by
druggists everywhere, aud if taken
freely, say one tablet every hour or
two for two or three days, the danger
of pneumonia and serious complica-
tions will be averted.
Rev. l.. Z. Palmer, Baptist clergy
ma of Ceresco, Mich. makes a state
ment of interest to all catarrh and
grip sufferers. He says: 'Stuart's
Catarrh Tablets have certainly been a
b essing to me. / have used them
freely this fall and winter and have
found them a safeguard sgainst la
grippe and catarrhal troubles from
which had suffered for years. l feel
that | can freely and conscientiously

Persons who suffer from catarrh of
the head and throat arc very suscep-
bic to la grippe and such will find a

Stuart's Catarrh Tablets are COM
posed entirely of harmless antiseptics
and may be used as freely as neces-
sary. as they contain no cocain e.,
opiate or poisonous drug of any kind.

ria and NOxious Gases.
Good gravel has so largely come into
request that many suburban lands
with that valuable substratum are
quarried to a considerable depth be-
fore being sold on building leases. But
it is essential to restore a level surface,
as even the most speculative builder
would hesitate to run up meat villa
residences" in deep holes. The owner
frequently gets over this difficulty by
allowing urban refuse to be shot into
the excavation; in many cases he even
exacts small sum for every load tilted
on his ground. The surface being thus
leveled, a year or two are allowed for
the soil to sink and become compact.
Occasionally grass is sown to give a
natural appearance TO the spot.
All is now in readiness for the build
er, who proceeds TO lay the foundation
for his terraces" avenues" and gar
dens," which he subsequently adver-
tises as ION gravel soil" So they arc.
but between their ground floors and the
gravel lies a thick stratum of partially
decomposed rubbish. teaming with
malaria. and not for many years will
the deposits cease to give off noxious
gases.
But the tenant, coming from a diff
ferent locality. knows nothing of the
making process to which the plot
has been subjected. When, therefore,
i'll health dogs his family. he puts it
down to defective drainage or some
other structural deficiency and spends
money freely on remedial measures
without the least benefit. All this
misery might be prevented if it were
legally prohibited to build human habi-
tations on decomposed refuse until the
soil had acquired a wholesome char
acter.-London Globe.

An Excellent Combination.

The pleasant method and beneficial
effects of the well known remedy,
SYRUP OF FIGs, manufactured by the
CALIFORNIA Fig SYRUP Co., illustrate
the value of obtaining the liquid laxa-
tive principles of plants known to be
incidentally laxative and presenting
them in the form most refreshing othe
taste and acceptable to the system. 1t
is the one perfect strengthening laxa-
tive, cleansing the system effectually,
dispclfng colds, headaches and fevers
gently yet promptly and enabling one
to overcome habitual constipation per-
manently. Its perfect freedom from
every Objectionable quality and sub
stance, and its acting on the kidneys,
liver and bowels. without weakening
or irritating them, make it the ideal
laxative.
In the process of manufacturing figs
are used, as they are pleasant to the
taste, but the medicinal qualities of the
remedy are obtained from SIENNA and
other aromatic plants, by a method
known to the CALIFORNIA FIa SYRUP

 From about the time of William the ConQueror down to a month ago people were warned from the path of London fire engines by the yells of the fire men. They would stand up and HI Vi Vi! as our own red-shirt volunteers yelled forty years ago.
 '"The London editor will now find that, cautiously and with many doubts a few of the engines have been equip ped with bells and gongs, and the chief of the department and the people in the streets are watching the novel expert ment with doubt and hope. If the British constitution bears the strain the gong idea will be extended gradual ly to other engines and the firemen vii be allowed to save their breath and their strength for the work ahead oi them"
