AN O[DICOUN7TERPANE

Raw Cotton.

made by her grandmother, who was then
Miss Martha Z. Stegar, of Powhatan
county, Va. Miss stegar picked the raw
cotton in her fathers garden, spun,
wove. designed the pattern. and embrol-
dered 1T very handsomely.
The center piece is a large basket or
flowers, and lowering over this are seve-
raj humming birds and butterflies, pre-
sumab1y to gather sweetness from the
open flowers. A grape vine, with many
clusters of grapes, encircles the spread,
and there are several kind of birds near
these vines. In the center beneath the
basket is embroidered the name, Martha
L. Stegar, April Is, 1877.
Mrs. Morris had the pleasure, when
girl, of meeting an old minister of the
gospel, who said he assisted Miss Stegar
to design the pattern, and what jolly
time they had, using the parlor floor for
a table to spread the cloth. There was
a knitted fringe at one time around it,
but this was taken off by Mrs. Morris's
mother, who used the Counterpart con-
stantly for thirty years It is now in

SUICIDE STATISTICS.
San Francisco Leads, Los Angeles
Second, in This Country.
New York Evening Post,)

(New York Evening Post.)
Somebody has been getting together sta
tistics showing the number of suicides in
American and other cities last year. San
Francisco leads off with the largest ratio,
39.1 per 100, 900 of population. Next comes
another Pacific coast city, Los Angeles,
with a ratio of 29.S. The reader has natu-
rally been looking for Chicago, and that
city does, in fact, come next with a ratio
of 240,\ followed by the neighboring city Of
Milwaukee, whose ratio is 22.2. New Or
leans was the scene Of the self-destruc
ton of 21.S persons per 100000 of popula-
ton, and Cincinnati followed close with
21.2. New Haven is next with 200, and
then comes the borough of Manhattan
with 200, though Greater New York, as a
whole. is we'll down the list, with ratio
of only 1876. This is less than Rochester,
Indianapolis. Philadelphia, Pittsburg,
Baltimore, Boston, Detroit Omaha. and
Louisville, besides all of those specifically
enumerated above. AS to the foreign
cities, Paris leads the list with ratio of
49, followed by Berlin. SO; Vienna, 2S and
London, %. There were more suicides in
Saxony than in any other country, 81
per 100000. In Denmark the ratio was

way, Belgium, Great Britain, Italy. the
United States, and Spain followed in the
order given.

City of the Golden Gate, and California,
with its glorious climate, it's sunshine, it's
fruit, and its flowers. should show the
greatest number of suicides seems mys-
terry, unless the presence of large Chi
nese population explains it. The high
suicide rate of Chicago is, perhaps. ac-
counted for by the rush and struggle Of
that great city and the. large foreign ele-,
ment it contains-a foreign element, more
over, which comes mainly from those.
countries where suicide is most frequent.
The same is. perhaps, true OF Milwaukee
and of Cincinnati. The high rate at New
Orleans may possibly be attributed to it's
traditions brought here from Paris, the
suicide capital Of the world. But New
York city casts a cloud over some OF
these explanations. Here the largo
foreign populations. the stress and strain
Of living and working. the poverty. the
excitement. Yet Philadelphia, the sleep
ing city of the humorous paragraphs,
has higher ratio of suicides than
Greater New York. And how is it to be
explained that New Haven leads all the
other New England cities in the number
Of suicides? st. Paul and Minneapolis lie
side by side. but in Minneapolis the ratio
is Ill., and in st. Paul it is but SIS. It
seems that the conclusions must be that
