His Main Efforts.

The main effort seems to have been 20
have the historical facts all 50 clearly
stated, and the relations Of tile impor-
tant affairs OF the Harrison Administra-
tion so suecinctly detailed, that the his
terian might be able to fix accurately
the blame and credit for every act OF
the four years.
No man connected with the Admins
tration is shielded, no man criticised.
In a cold, formal manner the facts are
stated, just as they were developed from
month 20 MONTH
The ex-President tells IN the plainest
language the troubles he met, the diff
culties ne encountered. the things he
tried 10 DO. and the plans along which
he worked. In some cases he frankly
admits the plans were not such as he
would have personally preferred, and
there follows the exact reasons for ae-
cePting the plans OF others.
Blame and credit are placed where
they belong. according TO his views. and
the document laid away for the eniight-
enment Of his biographer and for ths en-
richment OF American history when u
shall have been made public.

Masses Of Papers.

II was to John l. Griff1ths that Presi-
dent Harrison left all his personal and
official papers when he died. and II WAS
Grifiths who was commissioned TO ex-
anime them and prepare the biography.
Everything that had been collected
during the long public career Of Benja-
min Harrison was left Ia the library
from the private papers accumulated
when ne was a boy in school until the
close Of the term as President.
There was an immense amount OF pri-
vate memoranda ara correspondence, Of
great value to the biographer IN the de-
termination Of facts. but impossible for
publication
Mr.. GrifHths has not yet been able
to cOmplets the classification OF all the
papers, so great was the mass left, but
in ali the work he has found no other
document so extraordinary IN character.

facts and 90 calmly stated as the per-

and yet through II all there is nothing

1t appears To have been his sole aim
TO enable his biographer TO write AN ac-

cal part OF his Administration, and TO
place each man connected with it IN his
proper place, according TO the work he
had performed. so that the public might

IN Englishman travelling in Russia
furnishes the following incidents to q
London paper-an incident which he
personally witnessed and which he
says shows better than volumes OF
description the customs and social
conditions Of Russian peasants: IA
q railway station the train is on the
point Of starting. As usual In Russia,
the bell rings three times before de-
parture, to warn the passengers to
take their seats. At the hrst ring
the chief conductor, seeing on the
platform . group of peasants standing
humbly and cautiously together. says
very politely to them: Gentlemen,
the first signal is given: please take
your places"
One OF the peasants, turning to his
comrades, says: 'Dimitri, ivan, Ste
ven. do you hear? The master tells
Us to enter the train" "Oh. you stu
Did" rays another. Are you = gen.
tleman? You heard him say gentle
men, He invited the gentry" There
Is q second ring Of the bell. The con
ductor calls, hurriedly and angrily:
please, gentlemen, take your seats;
you hear the second signal"
The same peasant says to the
others: 1T is for us. We must take
out seats. The train will star. lyon

third ring of the bell is heard. The

hustling the peasants forward cries.

RAsY METHOD or SUICIDE.
Holding the Breath Will End Life in
Short Time.

Holding the Breath Will End Life in
Short Time.
That it is possible to commit sui.
eide by simply holding ones breath
has been clearly proved by q despon-
dent Norwegian, who recently killed
himself in this very unusual manner.
When he determined to die he closed
his mouth and nostrils and by mere
force Of will prevented his lungs from
doing their proper work.
This case is the more remarkable,
al there has long been a popular nc
ton that no human being could by
mere will power stop the action OF
the lungs for, more than n or two
minutes. For this reason It has at.
tracted much attention, and q French
writer. commenting on it, says:
ITO persons OF good taste who are
weary Of this life this method OF
committing suicide will certainly CON.
mend itself, one reaAonsloeing because
the body IL not disngured thereby, and
another because the act can be com.
mitted In any place and at any time.
It is true that sensitive or nervous
persons will never be able to kill
themselves In this manner, for, sim.
pie ~ it seems, the act OF retaining
ones breath until death m can
only be performed by one who is eth.
er unusually ph1egmatic or endowed
