SUFCID x.

A patient investigator and figurer has been getting together statistics showing the number of suicides in cities of the United States and other places during the last year. Of the United States cities San Francisco leads off with the largest ratio, 391 per 100000 of popula- ton. Next comes another Pacific coast city, Los Angeles, with ratio of 29.S. Chicago comes next with a ratio of 24.0, followed by the neighboring city of Mil- waukee whose ratio is 22.2. New Or leans was the scene of the self-destruc- tion of 21.S persons per 100000 of popu- lation, and Cincinnati followed close with PIP. New Haven is next with 20.9, and then comes the Borough of Manhat- tan with 200, though Greater New York as whole is well down the list, with ratio of only 136. 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 42, followed by Berlin 36 Vienna 2S and London 23. There were more suicides in Saxony than in any other country, S1.1 per 100000. In Den- mark the ratio was 25.S, in Austria 212 in France 15.7, in the German empire 14.3 and Sweden, Norway Belgium, Great Britain, Italy, the United States and Spain followed in the order given.
 The figures concerning New Haven are rather surprising. If they are cor rect they seem, to indicate that life is more discouraging here than in the great. wicked and miserable city of New York.

The Columbus correspondent of the Cleveland Plain Dealer thus describes the condition in which the Ohio legisla- ture finds itself at the beginning of the third week of its consideration of the municipai-code bills: "A badly muddled legislature has again convened here to take up the work of code-making, or at least a part of it's members have con- vened. It is doubtful if a quorum of either house could be collected with a
 dragnet in Columbus tonight. And the Legislature has come back to find a much bewildered State administration after it with sharp stick in one hand. 7 sugar plums extended in the other, and with words of mingled profanity and prayer on its lips. The appeal is Please do something, and do it right away, and get out of here.' The threat is, You will be broken politically if you don't.'"

It would be idle to suggest that so radical and immediate change as the forrna- tion of Ministry of Public Health should be made, with 8 member of the government of cabinet rank at its head We do not expect such an innovation, but we do not expect that the new gov- ernment, doubtless starting with keen- ness on it's work, should give the ques- stion of the public health of the country its best attention. And we believe that the most practical way of displaying Knowledge of the present position, and of the future to be provided for, would be to consider seriously the formation of q Bureau of Public Health.

The legislature of Mississippi will probably be asked to consider a bill to prohibit the game of baseball between the 1st of September and the close of the year. The reason given for this is rather peculiar. It is said that when the season for cotton picking arrives the negroes become profoundly interest ed in baseball. In one little town the other day nine games of baseball were in progress at one time, thereby, taking 162 men from the cotton fields, without counting the spectators. As the negroes keep their ball teams organized the year round in some of the cotton regions, it s Is held that they can get enough of the game in eight months of the year.

United States Consul Miller at New chang, China, writing of opportunities to sell American agricultural machinery to the natives, tells this story: For an Immediate market it is necessary to overcome the natural conservatism of the Chinese. About twenty years ago an Englishman brought two blows here. He tried to sell them and could not; he endeavored to give them away, but no one would take them; then he made an effort to get some one to experiment with them, but he could not even get man to hitch a team to one."

Flight thousand dollars" ssAhio said the disciple of Confucious; a very loud call!"
