Prevalence OF Suicide.

The Civilta Cathoica draws a dis
tressing and melancholy picture of
the suicide epidemic in Europe. The
author attributes this to the loss OF
faith. The figures are calculated to
establish that in the Protestant
countries suicides are more numer-
GUS than in the others. While in
Spain and Ireland decrease is no.
ticed. Denmark and Prussia show
an increase. Within the last thirty
years not less than 100000 sui
cides have been committed in Eu-
rope, and in this total Germany
alone figures with 100000.

be the closest parallel to Napoleon
Bonaparte that lives before the pub

small. He is slight and does not
look strong. He generally wears
loose-fitting clothes and carries his
hands in his coat pockets. He is very
quick of movement, also of mind,
restless, full of energy, critical of
detail, exacting, autocratic. He is,

states prominent scientist, event

In recent report Professor Nc
Kendrick said that, while the intri-
cate connection of the auditory
nerve is only just being unraveled, 1t
Is probable that the roots of those
nerves are more widely distributed
and have more extensive connections
than those of any other nerves in the
human body.
Researches on the auditory nerves
indicate that there is scarcely a
function of the body that may not be
affected by the pulsations and har-
monic combinations of musical tones.

that doctors are sometimes blamed

milk, eggs, an orange, or chocolate,
"to fortify him for the operation"
