mediate diversion is necessary. A visit to the theatre, a ride out into the country, brisk walk may be enough to restore self-control. Even in the midst of the most poignant grief or disappointment no person wishes to do an insane thing. The suicide does not real ize that the impulse is mad, and dies deluded. It should be taught that self-destruction is madness. That would be more effectual in preventing it than the religious dictum that it is a sin. By resist ing the temptation the victim of unhappiness proves to himself that he is sane and sound, and thereby gathers strength against the un- happiness itself.-New York Amer iCan.

The best scientists now agree that the planet Mars is inhabited, :" says a Kansas exchange. AL though Mars is forty million miles from the earth astronomers have studied it so many years that the recognition of another living world besides us in space has come to stay. By the use of huge tele- scopes, Mars is enlarged until it is twenty-five times as large as the moon. as seen with the naked eye and the planet, thus enlarged has been patiently studied until all as- tronomers are one in the opinion that it is inhabited They say tF at the canals of Mars are undoubtedly of human origin and that they are used as irrigating ditches to dis tribute melting snow from the po- lar caps. In summer the fields about the canals are green with growing crops, while in winter they are bleak and bare. All this has been demonstrated by patient study by different investigators, covering many years; the process is much too long to recite here, but all the investigators who have been merciless in their criticisms of each other, now agree as to the main point, that Mars is inhabited

BucoIic Style.

"The farmers made fortunes on wheat, didn't they?" Yes, indeed,' replied the railroad official, "and by a little strategy we are getting them to ride in our parlor cars. You know the farmers have always been prejudiced against parlor cars.' Why was that?' Well, they said the cars didn't look anything like parlors at all. That set us to thinking, so we fitted up sev- eral special parlor cars with wax fruit, horse-hair furniture and old fashioned photograph albums and now you couldn't pay the farmers to ride in any other car but the parlor."

Chinese Nurse Girl,

The Chinese nurse is an addition to the curiosities of the Manchester streets, says the Guardian of that city. One of them may be seen any day carrying her charge, an English baby, about the streets of Rusholme.
 She wears an embroidered sash on her head and Chinese costume of black alpaca-that is, plain long jacket of black alpaca and trousers of the same material. She stalks along on two tiny heels not larger than a fiorin, and her poor cramped feet, swathed in rainbow ribbons, are quite clear of the pavement.
