Through the Sound by Daylight.

The steamers of the Joy Line, which
make the trip from Boston to New
York all the way by water. leaving
every Wednesday and Saturday at ) p
M, have been carrying their full ca
pacity on every trip, owing. no doubt,
in some degree, to the low excursion
rate of -. 30, including stateroom
berth, good for 30 days, which is now
in effect, but also in no less a measure
to the beauties of the trip, including,
as it does, sail through Long Island
Sound by daylight
The company has on sale excursion
rates to Washington at $40. 30. Norfolk

The State Experiment Station on Wet Weather
Crops,

The continued unreasonable weather
threatens many Vermont dairymen
with partial failure of the corn crop,
and many are querying what to do to
provide forage for their COWS during
the coming winter. 1t is now too late
to plant corn in most portions of the
state with much hope of maturing it.
As makeshifts in this contingency
the Experiment station advises that
corn be sown thickly, broadcast, with
a view of having it: or that millet,
either the Hungarian or Japanese va
rieties, be grown.
The sowing of corn for hay is not an
uncommon practice in the Northwest
Corn hay makes very nutritious and
we'll relished forage, and consider
able amount of digestble food may be
grown in this way. The curing of corn
hay is somewhat difficult but not i'm
possible in the sunny days of late Au-
gust and early September.
The millets are we'll known plants
which make a quick, rank growth of
fairly nutritious forage. They may be
either put in the silo, hayed, or fed
goeen. As a rule, however, millet 81
lage is not a success. There are few
farms in Vermont where Hungarian or
japanese millet may not be sown and
brought to the proper stage for having
in 60. or, at the most, 20 days. Millet
should be cut before the seeds begin to
harden and before the stalks begin to
get woody. When the plant reaches
this stage of its growth the hay is I'M
palatable and yields poor returns
About half bushel of seed may be
used to the acre.
1t should be said once more that !,
these procedures are simply make /
shifts and unsatisfactory as compared .
with corn grown in normal year
Many Vermont farmers, however are
up against hard proposition this
year, and cannot do as well as if ma
ture had favored them.

Edward McCauley: Miss Lydia Lor
ing. daughter of DR.. Francis b. L.oring,
and Miss Cerolla de Payster. who is a
member of the well-known New York

Roosevelt was in pinafores she went to
school with these girls. and the friend

ed. The honors which have come to
her have not divorced her affections
from her girlhood friends.
None of these young ladies belong
to the wealthy class. although, like the
presidents daughter. they are of gen
tie birth and have been carefully edu-
Gated.
Etiquette does not hedge Miss Alice
Roosevelt as strictly as it does her
father and mother. She comes and
goes informally, and scarcely a day
passes that her three friends are not
at the White House or that she does
not visit their homes.
At the small dinner given at the
White House two week ago for her
young friends. all of these girls were
present. although daughters of enor-
mously rich senators were eliminated
from the invitation list. All three of
these young girls have rendered Miss
Roosevelt a dinner or n luncheon.
which she has attended. although she
has refused the same hospitality from

The suicide of two boys in this city
last Tuesday night. one a lad of 10. the
other a mere child OF IA. gives addition
a! interests to a table of suicide stats
tics in the New York Sun OF last Sun
day says the Chicago Inter Ocean
These statistics are based entirly upon
suicides in all parts Of the country re
ported in the columns of the Sun in
1901.
h lumber Of suicides during the
year was 500, of whom 400, or 7O.7 per
cent were males. or the total 2lO were
caused by shooting. 1853 by poisoning,
so by hanging, and A by gas %asphyxia.
ton. 1t is a remarkable fact that nc
fewer than 6S Of the total number OF
suicides followed murders, and 20 more
Of them followed attempts at murder.
The influence of suggestion was
found to be marked III some cases.
One who committed suicide by gas
had just read an account of a suicide by
the same method, and a somnabulist
who had read an account of one who
had committed suicide by shooting
while in somnambulistic trance com
mitted suicide in exactly the same man
ner.
The Suns article, however, does not
sufficiently emphasize the influence of
suggestion. 1t is a matter of common
observation among those who have oc-
casion to deal with suicide cases. cor.
oners and newspaper men in particu-
lar, that the suicide mania may and
frequently does become epidemic in
communities as the result of sugges,
ton.
One of the most striking illustra-
tons of this fact was hat which came
to light in Emporia, Kan, a few
months ago, when the cases of self
destruction were so numerous. and SO
unaccountable or ordinary grounds,
that the authorities were forced to at
tribute the mania to suggestion, and
to request that the newspapers cease
to publish accounts Of suicides. The
result was complied with and the
mania subsidized.
In all large cities suicides usually
occur in groups. 1t is a fact also that
suicides Of a certain general charac-
ter follow one another.
The causes assigned for the suicides
committed in the United States in 1901
range from disappointment in love to
fear Of the law, but the great majority
Of them are trivial. In most cases the
p~rovocation to self-destruction, if such
1t might be called, was an exaggera-
ton Of some real or fancied grievance
which people in a normal frame OF
mind would pass over as an ordinary
incident to existence.

The influence Of the Italians in the
affairs of the Roman church can be
better understood when ii is known
thai NOR. than half the members OF
the college OF cardinals are Italians.
There are now six~ty-seven cardinals,
OF whom sixty-one have been appointed
by Leo XIII. since he was elected pope.
in February, 1878. OF these thirty
seven are from Italy and thirty from

Tn. Brushes They Use and the Manned
of Their Use.
The Japanese artist has made a most
careful study of how to convey truths
in the most p%leasurable way: how to
make his lines most beautiful, as
though a speaker would use but words
Of most exquisite sound. To do this
be has cultivated his touch" until it
Is but mockery to compare it with that
OF his European brother. He has
Learned to handle his brush with n
d%irectness and precision which is n
thing of wonder, and he has studied
with a patience beyond compare the
possibilities of each particular kind of
brush. He knows. for instance, that
one kind of brush may be used to ex-
press a bamboo stem and that an
other brush will be less efficacious. He
knows how to fill each particular part
Of hat brush with a certain amount of
color or water, SO that a single move
ment OF the hand over the paper will
paint the stem, its light and shade.
Its peculiar characteristics, complete.
And to the perfecting Of that single
movement Of his hand over the pa
per he and his ancestors have given
years Of study.
Listen to a description by a Japan
csc. He is not an artist himself, but
is explaining. how artists use a certain
brush:
THE brush with color is passed over
a piece Of paper with a heavy stroke
that spreads the bristles of the brush.
at the same time bending them at the
tip. The brush is then turned so that
the bristles curve toward the artist,
and a light stroke will produce the
hair-like lines. This is one of the
ways Of painting the hair or fur Of
