DiscOuraEers of Suicide.
A favorite method of suicide in
Japan lately has been to leap over Ger
tain waterfalls. So frequent have such
occurrences become that police are
now constantly stationed in their
neighborhood, and large notice boards
are erected bearing inscriptions in
large letters of which the following
translation is an example: do not
drown yourself here! Intended sui
cides are warned that heaven disap-
proves of the utilization Of Kegon wa
terfall for the purpose. This is certi-
fed to on the best priestly authority,
and serious consequences in the here
after are guaranteed. To drown here
is also forbidden by the prefectural au-
thorities."
Are Economical HOusekeepers.
The wives of French peasants are ex-
cellent housekeepers, and are noted for
their thrift and tidiness. In most cases
the earnings Of the husband are small,
but his wife is an excellent manager, and
generally a capital cook. She evolves
dainty dishes out of trifies; makes leek
or a cabbage, with a few bones, produce
soup which is delicious; and transforms
dried beans or macaroni, with an egg
or vegetable, into nutritious and
palatable dish.
