In an article contributed to the N

shows that within the past thirteen
years 1851 people have committed
suicide in this country. In 1902 fifty
cities furnished $500 cases of self
destruction. out of total of S,132 for
the entire country OF the 1871 sui
cides in the thirteen-year period, 81
81 were males and 2O,4OO females.
The greatest ratio of increase is
among young women under twenty
five years of age Another curious
fact is the increasing number of chill
dren who kin themselves. Of the
methods chosen for ending life a very
large proportion select carbolic acid
Prior to 1894 more suicides died from
bullets than from all other agencies
combined. Since then poison seems to
have been preferred. with carbolic
acid a favorite. The remainder is di-
vided between hanging. drowning the
knife, jumping from windows or roofs,
gas. fire and dynamite, while as many
as 500 selected the expedient of throw
ing themselves in front of locomotives.

that, as the present resources above

The History Of Sheep.

terwoven with the history of mau that
they never existed in wild state at
all Biblical history from the time of
Abel is full of alluSions to the flocks
which formed the chief possessions of
the Jewish people and their neigh
bors. The spoils of war and the tri-
butte of vassal kings largely consisted
of sheep. Thus we read that Mesh.
king of Moab, was "a sheep master. and
rendered unto the king of Israel an
hundred thousand rams with the
wool. Moses after bis rictcry over
the Nlidianitcs obtained as loot 10
less than 675, 600 ,sIreep, and long be-
fore the Christian era sheep were cul-
tlvated in Western Europe. Spain and
Italy possessed them from an un-
known period, although her inhahi-
tans had not learned to sheer the
fleece; and, until the time of Pliny,
the practice of plucking it from the
skin was not wholly abandoned, so
long had the humble shepherds Of
