Suicides in Japan.

From the Pail Mall Gazette.
The Japanese are now busiiy debating
the ethics of suicide. The case out OF
which the controversy has arisen is that
of the station master at Moji, who, be-
cause of a mishap TO the imperial trair
which made ii necessary for the emperor
to adjourn for half an hour to waiting
ROOM showed his repentance by throwing
himself under the wheels of the express.
The station masters devotion having
evoked a wave of popular admiration
which took shape In a proposal to erect
monument TO his memory. the nation
has been rebuked by the president of the
Kyushu University for thus giorifNing
an act of self destruction; and the latter.
finding himself out of tune with public
opinion, has resigned his position.
1t is a singular thing that among a
people go cheerful as the japanese sui
eide should be so common. Ten thou
sand destroy themselves every year IN
Japan and the figures cannot be said
to diminish. But hara-kiri as such is out
of date
The modern victims of the suicidal
mania. when they do not throw them
selves in front of a train. jump into
the crater of an active volcano. Asama.
in central Japan, and Asosan, in kyu-
shu have both acquired a sinister repu-
tation In this respect.
II is, however A disquieting sign of
the times to find the student class re-
sorting so largely TO suicide-especially
of the spectacular sort, and this. no
doubt. is DIR. Yamakawas motive in pro-
testing against the eNaltation of an act
which the Christian world regards as Q
grievous sin.

GREEN GOGOS MEN
IN OCCUPATION

That the green goods man has
turned away from currency Issue
to label and trading stamps is
largely due to the work of a
former Chicago reporter, John E..
Wilkie who for fourteen year has
been at the head Of Uncle Sam S
secret service, and nemesis of the
counterfeiter.
Mr.. Wilkie as reporter
ciallized on any assignment in
which clues were scant to some
interesting crime. His faculty
proved to be coupled with organic
ing ability and consequently he has
driven counterfeiters of money to
other undertakings including the
making of bogus trading stamps
which are sold by the million in
some 600 cities of the United
States, and of tables of commod-
tiles which advertising had made
famous and valuable as an asset.
The comparatively little risk in
volved caused the trading stamp
and label counterfeiting to be done
on a wholesale seal .. Three men
now in the county Jail at Chicago,
had IS, 100000 bogus stamps when
arrested.
In their new field of operations
the counterfeiters have displayed
remarkable talent, and thousands
of patrons, particularly the women,
have been made to suffer
financially.

DEAFNESS CANNOT Be CURED

by local applications as they canno
reach the diseased portion of the
ear. There is only one way to
cure deafness. and that is by COLI
titutional remedies. Deafness is
caused by an iEf1amed condition of
the mucous lining Of the Eustachian
Tube. When this tube is infamrd
you have a rumbling sound or
imperfect hearing, and when it is
entirely closed, Deafness is the
result, and unless the inflammation
can be taken out and this tube
restored to its normal condition,
hearing will be destroyed forever
nine cases out of ten are caused
by Catarrh, which is nothing t

developers make, that the lot
should be improved with buildings

There is shed in the rear of
