PICTURESQUE BRIDGE
SCENE OF $50 SUICIDES
Edinburgh Town Council Plans
to Prevent Tragedies

Edinburgh is noted for its bridges,
and by far and away the most pic
turesque, the Dean bridge, has an un-
enviable notoriety. 1t is the favorite
place of suicides in the city, and a case
which has just occurred brings the
total of such tragedies up to $50. The
town council Of Edinburgh has had
the matter under consideration but up
to the present nothing has been done
a great argument for leaving things
as they are has been that any tinker
ing at the parapet would spoil the view.
Much is to be said in favor of this
contention, especially when it is re-
membered that all railing would do
would be to prevent a suicide at that
particular spot.-London Globe

ing, simple drink. The mead of our
soda fountains is not the mead of
England and the east. Mead has long
been favorite drink in Indo- Euro

honey drink. Recipes for fermenting
honeycombs with yeast and water, and
sometimes fiavorings, may be found
in old English cook books.
The nectar of the gods of ancient
mythology is thought to have been

'Hydromeli" was the classic name
