SOME Suicide Figures.

During the last thirteen years
77.617 people committed suicide IN
the United States. This sounds
awful, but it is not so much when
we consider that it is but one
hundredth of 10 of the popula-
ton per annum. Plainly there IS
no danger of race suicide by the
regular suicide route. Speaking
of the deadly route, the same gov
eminent statistics show prior to
1894 more suicides died by the
bullet than from all other agen-
cies combined, but since that date
poison has been given the prefer
ence. with carbolic acid the favor
lite. During the period covered by
the report 800 persons chose the
method of throwing themselves
before moving locomotives. 9th
ers blew themselves up with dy-
mantle. Still others preclpltated
themselves into furnaces. 1t IS
more or less interesting to know
that three men shuffied off volun-
tarily to one woman.

The Next Thing on the List.

The next thing on the list is
the pesky mosquito. 1t is not
known just how long mosquitoes
can live, but their average life IS
much longer than is ordinarily
supposed. Thousands of them live
through winter, alternating or
asleep in dark places in barns or
house cellars. In sparsely settled
localities where they cannot find
such places for shelter, they live
through the winter in hollow trees
and, even though the temperature
may fall far below the freezing,
thew are not winter-killed, but ON
the approach of warm weather
become active again.

Strange Wedding Present.

Probably the strangest gift ever
presented to bride was that
which a German father gave to
his daughter upon the eve OF her
marriage. He gave her a golden
casket, with the strict injunction
not to pass it into other hands,
for it held charm that she would
lose if she did so, and its keeping
would be of inestimable value to
her as mistress Of the house. Not
only was she TO have the entire
care of it, but she was to take 1t
every morning to the cellar, the
kitchen, the dining room, the IL
brary, the bed room, and to re-
main with it in each place for five
minutes, looking carefully about.
After the lapse of three years the
father was to send the key, that
the secret talisman might be re-
vealed. The key was sent. The
casket was opened. 1t was found
to contain an old parchment, on
which was written these words {:
"The eyes Of the mistress are
worth 100 pairs of the servants
hands," The wise father knew
that a practice of inspection, fol-
lowed faithfully for three years,
would become habit and be self
perpetuated-that the golden cas-
ket and the hidden charm would
have accomplished their mission.

Briggs Preparing for Death.

Friday evening, between the
hours of 5 and I, Jesse Briggs, the
condemned negro murderer from
Fayette county, will be hanged IN
the penitentiary annex at
Moundsville. Briggs, with little
or no evidence in his favor, and
without friends or money, has
long ago given up all hope OF es-
Gaping the gallows. He is spend
ing his time preparing for the
hereafter, and from all indications
will die as bravely as the ten or
twelve who have been hanged
from the same scaffold. The IN
yitations have all been mailed,
and it is useless at this late hour
for anyone to make application
for pass to the execution. Inc
exact time of the execution is new
er made public, as the warden
does not desire to have a crowd
congregate in front of the instl-
tuition. Those who hold invita-
lions should be in Moundsvllle be-
fore 5.o'clock, and make inquiry
as TO the time to call for admit
lance, as the execution might oe-
chr any time after 5 o'clock. No
one under the influence OF liquor
will be admitted and each mus
have a ticket bearing his own as
dress or otherwise he will pc re,
fused admittance.

Editor Oil Review:
[ am located here, and am i'm
proving in health every day. A
Is. Mccoy is feeling splendid. He
has gained a pound and hale in
weight within the past ten days,
and the children are enjoying the
best of health. AS for myself,
would say my health is improv-
ing, but the doctors advise me to
stay here a year at least. Expect
my family here this week, and will
give them quite new and novel
experience by taking them to
their new home on a fve-acre
fruit farm, which | have rented
lust mile out Of the city. This
enables us to have plenty of good
things to eat, besides a place to
keep a cow and a pony and chick
ems. All Sistersvillians are wei
come, and will do our best to
show them a good time when they
come, the Oil Review editor not
excepted. l occupy the same po-
sition with F. H. Plimpton, dealer

ladies' and gents furnishings

Coy Brothers. 1 find the people
here very pleasant and sociable,
but as to business being as easy
as in Sistersville, up to the pres
ent can't say that it is. With
kindest regards to you and all in
curing friends, I remain,
Yours respectfully,

Boulder, Col, May l.
The many friends of the above

in wishing them continued I'M
prOvement in good health, ana
will hope they will soon be so

disposition will only be remem-
bered by them as dream passed

our readers will be glad to hear
of the improved health Ct the two
old members of the well-knoWn

tor expects in some future day
to accept the above invitation, and
will agree to annihilate his share
of the aforesaid fruit with cream,
and will satisfy the host his long

Monday night and yesterday fore noon were good times to contemplate the need of waiting-room at the cor ner of Church and Chapel streets. And they were especially good times to do such contemplating if the contemplator happened also to be waiter. It was fun alive to stand in the deep and deep ening snow at that corner and wait for a car. Anybody with sufficient imag- ination could imagine how different it would have been to be waiting in a comfortable, handsome building. This object lesson has come at a favorable time to push the plan for a waiting room. Thus far there doesn't seem to be much opposition to it, but it is not certain that there may not be. ''The shallows murmur while the deeps are dumb" and the deeps may be getting ready to do some murmuring. If so it will soon appear. Two things are cer- tain. Cows are not pastured on the Green now as they were in the good old days. The old State House is no longer there. These changes have not annihil- ated the good people of New Haven, and the indications are that they would be able to continue to live if a corner of the Green were rooted over.

He asserts that some are not able to read a map; others are men of learning and clever generals, but you can count the latter on the five fingers of your hand" Again, it is said that there are some who are honest and poor, like Daniloff, and others who apply all the powers of their mind not to fighting, but to making as much money as they can out Of the present war by all sorts of dishonest means. Few do their work honestly and thoroughly; the greater part are negligent, absolute and do not care about the war except in so far as their personal interests are concerned"

TEMPTATION OF CARS.

Both steam and trolley cars are bet ter ventilated than they used to be, and if fuesy and ailing passengers did not interfere the ventilation would proba- bly, be better than it is. The need of good ventilation is shown Icy an inves- tigation by Professor c. B. Dudley made in the cars of the Pennsylvania railroad. He found that an ordinary coach holds approximately 4.0Oo cubic feet of air. and seats about sixty per sons. Tn order to have relatively pure air. the carbonic acid breathed out by human beings should not exceed two cubic feet in 10000 cubic feet, yet six cubic feet in 10000 cubic feet may be present, as a maximum, and the ven- tilation be fairly described as good. This becomes apparent when it is stat ed that an ordinary closed coach often contains as much as from fifteen to NhOItJ SdD1NS ASCl pSi AVsvoos ! hO amount of carbonic acid given off per passenger per hour is assumed to be .S ot one cubic foot, and with sixty persons in a car the total amodnt which they would produce in an hour would be thirty-six cubic feet. If the desirable minimum of two cubic feet of carbonic acid per 10000 feet is to be had under these circumstances it would be necessary to supply the car with 1SO,OOo cubic feet of fresh air per hour This means that the cubic con tents of air in the car would have, to be changed forty-five times in the hour, or, to put it another way, a car full of air would have to be got rid of every one and one-third minutes.
 Perhaps cars ought to be ventilated without regard to the notions of pas sengers. It might kill some of them, but some of them get killed by the present system.
