SOME THOUGHTFUL SUICIDES
Remarkable FOrethouEht of a Num-
Der of Unfortunatea on the Eve
of killing Thems elves

A grocer's assistant who committed
suicide the other day left note in
side the house to say, 81 am hanging
outside" The Liverpool Daily Post
gives some other notable instances of
bulls made by intending suicides. An
Irishman who drowned himself left
the message, "This is an accident" on
a piece of paper in his hat to spare his
friends feelings, and only this sum-
mer young gentleman in Shropshire,
before attempting suicide, wrote an
anonymous letter to his mother break
ing the news of the accidental death
of her son-which, as matter of fact,
did not come off.
With similar forethought provin-
cial bank manager on his deathbed
was said lately to have dictated tele-
gram to headquarters saying: Great
~ regret to inform you that I died this
morning of pneumonia.-(Signed) pp.
Thomas Brown" An Irishman once
confessed that he had contemplated
suicide by hanging himself on will
low tree overhanging river near his
potato patch, but had given up the
idea from fear lest the cord should
break and he should be drowned.

EAGLE DROWNED BY A FISH.
me bird Unde rtOOk to Garry Off q
Big MuskaIIOnge and Both
Perished.

A colony of American eagles has
made its home along the shores of
Chautauqua lake for many years. A
story is told of one of these birds that
is truly remarkable, says the Buffalo
Courier.
The eagle was gracefully soaring
over the lake when it suddenly darted
with lightning rapidity toward the
water, catching in its talons a muskal-
longe two feet o. more in length, and
weighing probably ten pounds. There
was clash and splashing of fins and
feathers, but slowly the bird rose in
the air with it's captive dangling and
wriggling below. When at a height
OF about 1000 feet the bird, still cling
ing to the fish, began to sink slowly to-
ward the lake again, gaining speed
as it descended and finally fell with a
splash in the water. Later the bird
and fish were found together dead.
The fish had evidently been too
heavy for the eagle to carry, but it's
claws were SO firmly imbedded in the
flesh that it could not release it's hold,
and as it's strength gave way it sank
into the water whence it had sought
It's prey and was drowned.

Te1egraphic Postage.

The idea that a letter placed in a
suitable receptacle could be conveyed
by electricity at a rate well-nigh
comparable to that of the express
trains seems to have struck an Ital-
ian experimenter, Piscicelli by name,
saws the London Chronicle. The near
est approach to the system is that OF
"telepherage," but here the rate of
progression is, of course, relatively
slow. In the case of the Piscicelli
system it is intended that the let
tiers should be conveyed in boxes
composed along wires arranged on
the overhead system analogous to
that seen in the tramways of many
towns. Experiments are to be made
with the system between Rome and
Naples, but there are so many very
obvious difficulties in the way of the
scheme becoming generally useful
that we may await the results of
these experiments before hailing the
invention as a benefit to mankind at
large.

DIDN'T OBSERVE THE SIGN.

when l cut loose from the big bag

for it is possible to steer-a parachute
more or less by slightly tipping it.
But this time for some reason or other
the parachute refused to answer, with
the result that l came down in the
middle of the pond. Just before I
struck / noticed an old man by the
side OF the pond jumping around in
an excited way, and yelling something
to me that | did not catch, for 1 was
buslly engaged in wondering how deep
that pond was.

the Parachute fell down upon me, with
the result that 1 had the struggle of
my life to escape from the situation.
But finally I managed to reach the
edge of the pond, where 1 fell down
completely exhausted from my effort.
While lay there covered with mud
and wondering if / hadn't better give
up the business before l was killed"
continued the balloonist, according to
the Detroit Free Press, "the old man,
who had been yelling at me all the time

came up to where I lay gasping.
Shaking his fist in my face, he shout
ed:

GOOD ROADS.

The improvement of country roads
may we'll claim the attention of all who
have at heart the best interests of the
farmer. There are few subjects OF
greater Importance to those who make
use of the highways, and no one OF
course makes q larger use of the
country roads than the farmer. He
draws the most loads as well as the
heaviest ones. He uses them fully as
much as any other, for light driving.
It should not require much argument
to convince him that good roads would
benefit him immensely.
Congressman John j. Esch of La
Crosse shows by statistics that the
difference in the cost in few years to
the farmer of moving his produce
would pay the cost Of macadamizing
all the principal country roads in the
state; and he probably does not over
estimate the value of good roads. In
soma European countries. noticeably
Germany, the highways are paved
with crushed stone. They are hard
and smooth, and a team can draw three
or four tons over them as easily as it
can draw one over the average country
road in Sheboygan county. That
A. IL T.
can move the products of his farm
three times as easily as one in this
county can. The practical effect of
good roads is to bring the farmers
nearer their markets. If there is any
doubt about it being saving, take a
somewhat parallel case. In the con-
struction of railways. steep grades are
avoided. A line which is not smooth
is an expensive one TO operate. The
difference in the cost of constructing q
good smooth road and cheap rough
one can be saved in few years in
operating it.
The subject of good roads should be
discussed at every farmers gathering
until its Importance is universally
felt. Agitation is necessary in order
to convince those interested that it
would be to their pecuniary advantage
to construct smooth hard roads. There
Is no doubt In any ones mind that it
would add greatly to their convenience
and pleasure. plymouth Review.
