ment and formed corporation known
as the Carnegie Institution. It is un.
derstood that Mr.. Carnegie has re-.
moved the obstacles that existed to
the acceptance of his S10000.000 gift
to the cause Of education, and this ac.
tion was the first step toward giving
legal form and substance to the propo.
sition.
Besides Secretary Hay. the incorpor.
ators are Edwin D. White, Justice Of
the Supreme Court; D. G. Gilman, ex.
President of Johns Hopkins Univer.
sity; Charles D. Walcott, Superintend.

American Securities Abroad.

1t is the practice Of the great banks
Of Europe, particularly of Germany.
to take charge of the securities owned
by vast clientage of investors. When
in the Imperial Reichsbank and in the
Deutsche Bank in Berlin I was taken,
into great vaults whose walls and
floors We're covered with cases like;
an immense library, containing stocks
and bonds belonging to clients Of the
banks and held there for the collec-il
tion Of coupons and safe-keeping. I'M
each of the banks there were securities:
representing some 2,OOO,OOOOOO marks.
1t was interesting to be shown great
shelves which had formerly been set
apart for American securities, and:
which now held only here and there
scattered packages. This was the visi-
Bile evidence of what an examination
of Investors strong boxes woula show
in all those European countries which
have in years past found in America
the most profitable field for invest
ment.-Frank A. Vanderlip, in Scrib-

Careless Snake Used No Tooth Brush.

Careless Snake Used No Tooth Brush.
DR.. Calmette, director of the Pasteur
Institute at Lille, France, who was
bitten by most poisonous snake re-
Gently, tells the following story Of the,
occurrence:
II was handling the snake when one
Of his fangs touched the third finger
Of my right hand. 1 felt nothing at
first, but presently found blood began
to flow. 1t was easy to understand
what had happened. I ran and placed
my finger under tap. Without delay
one Of my assistants inoculated me
under the skin Of the stomach with an
injection Of serum, and in less than
five minutes the numbness and the
pain had ceased.
"a day or two later, finding that the
wound did not heal, a surgical operation
was performed. This had nothing to
do with the snake venom, which had
been completely eliminated from the
wound. Necrosis had set in from infec-
tion of the open wound, and the doc
tor said with laugh: 4 suppose the
reptile had forgotten to wash his
mouth"

Suicide in England.

During the last fifty years the SUI
cidal tendency in England has grown
into formidable disease. The growth,
too, has been continuous. Suicide has
steadily increased 200 per cent. I'm
happily, too, the growth has been
most rapid in recent years. This is
learned from the verdicts of coroners'
juries-a test which does not exagger-
ate, but allows percentage Of vast
age. And especially is this increase
remarkable when the attempts to COM
NIT suicide-so far as they are known
to the police-are examined. For
while in the decade from 1876 to 1886
the attempts rose from S1S to 1116I
an increase Of thirty-six per cent.-be-
tween 1886 and 1895 the percentage
increased as much as ffty-six per
cent. During the last twenty-five
years they have increased in all 152
per cent. By examining the latest sta
tistics I have discovered the most sui.
cidal localities in England. And Gu.
riously, perhaps, the highest percent
ages-i. e., per 100000 of population
are reached by provincial towns. AS
the sites Of actual suicides, Norwich,
Blackburn, Newcastle, Oldham and
Leeds, in the order named, achieve a
dismal pre-eminence. For attempted
suicide, Liverpool, London, Birming-
ham, Manchester and Newcastle head
the list. Of the thirty-one largest
towns in the country, Swansea and.
next to it, Derby and Birkenhead
showed the least tendency to suicide.-

liked his morning paper at first hand.
On this morning his selishness was d
kindness to them since they could not
know the news that awaited them.
The family consisted Of two young
daughters and Mrs. Lenox, a nervous.
fretful-looking woman, who had
learned the lessons Of life from a hard
master. There was boy who was at
college, who had the distinction OF
being the "son of Dombey" Lenox.
Much was expected of him as sole heir
to the honors Of his house. He had
seen his mother bullied and his sisters
browbeaten all his young life, and he
had his own ideas of life and liberty.
"Where was father last night that
asked one Of the girls.
"He attended a meeting Of the Eel
lowcraft Club and gave talk on De
velopment by Grace last night, and
naturally, is tired this morning" said
the mother. fretfully adding: 81 wish
he would be more punctual."

same wax spirit, and was followed by
grumbling complaint because the
breakfast was cold. This incident
being disposed by new supply Of hot
food there was the usual breakfast
chorus Of rattling dishes and spoons,
and as Mr.. Lenox fed himself with one
hand he turned his paper with the
other. Suddenly he gave a savage ex-
clamation, and, pushing the table from
him, nearly overset it, when the front
door opened quickly and tall youth
entered hastily in outing costume. car
rying a valise in his hand. He did not
look at the women Of the family, but
walked directly to Mr.. Lenox.

these students had not done anything

discipline which was lacking within
the college walls are exploiting the in
adequacy Of their own educational
methods. Where werethe professors on

A WINTER DAYBREAK.

The cock crows in the windy winter morn,
Then must 1 rise and fling the curtain
by,
All dark, but for strip of fiery sky
Behind the ragged mountains, peaked and
torn.
One planet glitters in the icy cold,
Poised like hawk above the frozen peaks;
And now again the wild nor'-wester
speaks,
And bends the cypress, shuddering, to
his fold,
While every timber, every easement creaks.
But still the skylarks sing aloud and
bold;
The wooded hills arise; the white cascade
Shakes with wild laug ghter all the silent
shadowy glade.
