1rxino to Account For II.

It is stated that there are more
suicides Monday than any other day.
but no attempt is made to give rea
son for this fact. Somebody points
out that Monday is usually wash day.
and it should be added that a boiled
dinner usually goes with it. The
clothes line may, perhaps. suggest the
fatal rope, and the clothes pin nasal
asphyxiation. There are blue Mon.
days, too. and 1t may be possible that
the suicides have their own peculiar

Check Goes to Proper Fund,

Mrs. Ogden Goelet sent to Police
Commissioner Green of New York a
check for $3.50 in acknowledgment of
her appreciation of the police service
on the occasion of her daughters
marriage to the duke of Roxburghe.
Mrs. Goelet wished that the money
should be given to the officers who
were on duty at the wedding, but the
police rules did not permit it. so it
was turned over to the riot relief fund.
1t is understood that some of the
women who were in the crush regard
this as proper disposition of the

The conditions of the planet Venus

there is strong suspicion that Venus

eran author. while on visit tc
France stopped one day on a country
road to admire the surrounding coun
try. AS he stood gazing ineditative
ly over the fields he noticed that sew

to him. Mr.. Stedman was at first
surprised at their salutes in his hon.
or, and wondered for whom these DO

were repeated by peasant after peas.
ant he finally concluded that his repu.
tation had penetrated farther than he
had ventured to suppose. AS he moved

strained, and where 1t will continue
to hold sway until the sanitary corps
sent there by this government has
finished it's work.
1t is a place where there is not one
chance in a thousand for a man to
make a penny in any kind of specula-
ton, except plain gambling. 1t is a
place where the man seeking employ
ment is almost certain to starve to
death.
In a word, 1t is the meanest place
on thu face of the world for any
white man to think of going to, and
the most magnificent of all places to
stay away from. 1t holds out neither
hope, promise nor incentive; but with
a lavish hand offers death, disease
and degeneration.
