Youthful Suicides.

There is a shocking proneness among
youthful Bengalis to kill: themselves n
the least pretext. 1t seems to be an
exaggerated form of sulkiness, and one
would like to have medical opinion on
the matter. A student is reprimanded
by his parent because his studies don't
show the advancement expected. The
boy swallows some opium and ends his
studies. A girl wife in Howrah takes a
dislike to the second choice of her hus-
band. She also secures an exit by the
easy means of opium. A Bengal wo-
man in Howrah wanted to go on a pill
grimage to Gays. Her mother said she
could not advance the railway fare,
and the girl went out to a tree and
hanged herself. These are all recent

PRoFIT-sHARING.

ProM&-gharinG WAS recently discussed
in a presidential message to congress.
Mr.. Roosevelt, however, did not get
beyond the abstract view of the ques-
ton. Edward Morris, head of a big
packing house at Kansas City, has an
nounced a more practical view; he will
give $4,000 as the first fnstallment
toward a fund of 100000 to put in
operation plan of profit-sharing and
old age pensions for the 10000 en-
ployes of his company.
Sharing profits with those who pro-
duce profits may still be a trifie
Utopian. But in some instances it has
worked out well in practice. No man
has a better right to share in the
profits of the concern than the man
who gives his talent and his energy
to the business, year in and year out
in order to make it yield profits.
The perfect adjustment in such mat
ters is perhaps distant dream. But
the trend of economic thought and of
practical business opinion is toward
condition of affairs that will give the
wage Garner a justeF return for the
blood and tissue he wastes in efforts
to pile up profits for his employers
