THE CONSUME T|ON IF GQ[D
 IN GERMANY

According to the imperial statis- tics, the excess of imports over eX ports for 1912 was at the end of August last $l7136,000, whereas for the whole of 1911 it was $30.172 ,oon, and for the whole of 1910 $iG, ,232 ,0oa Al the end of August the Reichsbank according to it's published return, had $221 ,6G9 900 in gold in its coffers IS compared with $211,93G000 in Alt gust, 1911. and $l46.725.00n in All ing of the Reichsbank was $13S,S39
 0a0; in 1905. $1S1 900; in l9le. S1S9 .306. .00G;; in 1911, $201 t73. .00a T. may be concluded. however, from the ascertained and estimated industrial consumption of gold in Germany thaf the excess of gold imports over eX- ports has been probably absorbed by the trade. and that the increase now reported in the gold reserves of the Reichsbank is an increase oh tained by the improvements recently
 introduced into the system of cash payments obtaining to Germany.
 There are 10 official statistics dealing with the industrial consumr ton of gold for years later than 1907. The latest statistics issued from the Imperial Statistics Office shows that coined and uncoined gold was con sumed industrially in Germany in 906 to the value of $20,3l1,0 GOO and 1907 to the value of S22,o45, 900. Ii has no doubt. increased greatly since then To estimate the rate Of l2- crease. it may be observed that the ton for each of the two years 1S9G ton for each of the two years 1898 and 1897 as an average of S10.930.G0o. In ten years the increase has been consequently some S11,340,O0O. which would make a yearly average increase of $1.340,0 ,000. But in point Of fact
 
 equable. but follows the trend of lux curious tastes The Pforzheim gold ware industry, for instance, has at tained great development latterly, and our contemporary thinks it quite likely that the yearly consumption IS from s26, ,766,O 900 to $29,200O00 at the present time. In view of the impor- tance of ascertaining the result eX- actly, it calls upon the Statistical Office. which still possesses the ma chinery used for the inquiry in 1907, to bring its investigation up to date, Till then we can only have an esti- mate to go upon, but, such as it is, this shows that Germany's gold bal ance is pretty effectually absorbed by trade uses. For, taking the period January 1, 1909. to the end of July 1912, the statistics shows an excess

he aroused to right the wrong; per haps they will even destroy the hi.ldin@ of his rich foe; O.. the mag ietrate of the city will ey: ,rs from lEC ri'h man larga amount of mercy as a nribe or the latter may ne eiven severe punishment for the death.
 In any ease the rich man is ruin ed. as the poor innocent man want ed. and thus he has taken full ven geance upon his foe by means of suicide. Another idea of suicide in connection with vengeance is that Of haunting. Some people have this con ception in mind.
 !: I am unable to avenG mys' I upon you while living ! will be able to do so after l become a ghost who is invisible. omnipotent, and can take your life with the consent of God who has the power over death
 This idea has been fostered by novels which are full of stories where a headless man in spirit de- mands the return of his head be- fore his living foe, blackfaced ghost is ready to take the life of his enemy for whom he committed suicide. and the like. Thus there are few who attempt to commit suicide. thinking that if they die in place where no one knows but God. the Heavenly Emperor will send his thunderbolt to kill their enemy for whom their lives are sacrificed.
 The people always want to find out about the life of man killed by lightning, and would say that that man must have either committed murder or caused scandal But all these methods for vengeance are waning in popularity, and the people gradually realize that self-destruction will hardly pay for what they desire to accomplish.
 But once in great while man in a certain locality commits suicide because he wants to demonstrate his sincerity in the cause he advo- cates, or because he desires to ex- tend his cause throughout the whole country. Thus two years ago a Manchu woman, principal of a girls school, unable to raise enough money

Where Suicide Is Virtue
IN CHINA AS IN JAPAN MANY SEEK DEATH TO
 SHOW DEVOTION TO CAUSE.

The Chinese have a different idea in regard to suicide. They do not believe that after seeking death" they will become gods; and ccla 7aratvely small number Of people believe that their spirits will live and have power to avengc them selves upon their foes, after coul- r.i:ting suicide. Some Chinese wo- men believe that their spirit can unite with those of their dear ones if they end their lives through de votion A very small number of Chinese at present believe that seeking death or suE:de can move God 10 champion their causes, and can procure for them better life in the future, as Buddhism teaches. Most people commit suicide because they are poverty stricken 9nd in despair.
 There are at least four kinds of seeking death" in China namely suicide for devotion and loyalty, sui. c,de for vengeance. suicide on ac. count of economic conditions and suicide as an appeal to Cod or men for help. It Is not infreuuent In the Celectial empire, where purl ty and love are highly valued, that the wife commits suicide because of her devotion after the death of her husband. What is the use of living while the man whom she loves above everything else is dead? That a woman once married should never marry a second husband is an old idea in China. and the people of the present generation still regard + as virtue. but perhaps do not hold it to such an extent as our grandfathers and grandmothers did
 As a result of this idea of true virtue of 4,0OO years standing, in addition to the belief that her sou. like her body can live together with

her husband either in heaven or in hell. the widow gives up her hus- band to the grave. Sometimes q widow ends her life in order that her body may lie by the side of her husbands coffin. A stone DOT tai is occasionally erected in honor of woman who thus died because or her pure devotion to her husband The idea that monument ma" be erected as an appreciation of high type Of virtue tends to enforce a high standard Of purity among Chin ese women, and at the same time il causes more suicides.
 Another kind of suicide under the same class is the suicide for loy- alty which was prevalent in ancient China. Many statesmen have com mitted suicide because the kingdom was in danger. or the emperors life was imperled At the end of the Ming dynasty many chinese lOyai statesmen ended their lives together with the emperor They did not have any idea of becoming divine as Jap anese statesmen or warriors had They were taught by Confucius to be loyal to their emperor even unto death. They died on account of faith fitness, not in the hope of future reward.
 There is still a small percentage of people in China who take ven geance by resorting to suicide. Un- der the Manchu rule official graft prevailed, rich men always had al upperhand in any case in which they were involved. while inno ent poor persons were illtreated having no money to bribe the official and the poor man to do is to die at the the poor man to do is todie at the door of the rich householder Before dying he calculates that his suicide will ruin the rich family; the people hearing the cause of his death, will

L latest Outside Sporting Dope

'out the United States is the develop menr of iaveln throwers III th.S country who will he able al least to make respectable showing against the men of Northern Europe at future Olympiads There is only one reason why America does not G"t is share Of the javelin prizes and that is because we don. pay any attention to that sport. In Sweden. in Norway and in Finland a jav"lin champion is the biggest of all ath- letes. Brick l.eming. the Swedish police clerk. who has won the "best hand" javelin throw at three Own piads is national hero.
 What the American off aials should do at once is to include the iave- lin throw on every outdoor program for 1919. get if on the list of in- terscholastic and intercollegiate championship events. and Il ordinary meets offer special prizes fer spear tossing. America has fas.er his h.cn thah any country in thr world. Our supremacy in most of the wesht events proves that. The Cnly reason that We hay ! n"t rA- ,''',n at ti."e".inr 'ho iavolia is De-
 ausc our men have not taken tle trouble to learn how to throw il.
 During the progress of the best hand" javelin throw at Stockholm last July the Pentathlon was being contested. An English-speakins Swede. sitting in the srandstand said "I'Il bet you cannot pick ont the best javelin thrower on the field" His American friends at once pointed out l.eming. of Sweden. and his rival. Saaristo. the champion Finn You're wrong" quoth the Swede your man Thorpe is the best natural thrower. but he don't know how to get the spear away. With six months practice as the Films and Swedes go at the work he'd make them all look cheap"
 There's all the difference in the world in javelins. too. At the Olym pie games last summer all of the contestants had to use spears fur nished by the Swedish Olympic com mittee. This almost broke the hearts of the Films. Norwegians and Huns each one of whom had his OWL spear that he cherished as much a does the violinist his favorite fiddle Lemng. the Swedish champion was the only man in the contest who did not deplore the ruling of the committee requiring that the off cial javelin be used. Leming is big calm fellow. who takes thin@s easy and does not get fused, and il was largely his coolness under the strain of the first competition in the stadium that brought him home winner in the best hand" event
 The Swedes made their javelins Of springy hickory and the missiles are bound with thongs made of thin thread. The Films use the hardest birch for their spears and use coarse thread in making the thong that goes about the middle. Swedish lave lns were used in the throwing at Stockholm, and after Jennings vic tory in the best hand" competition the Films put up a yell about their men having to use strange sticks but after sweeping the two hard" event the athletes from the oppress- ed Russian province had nothing to say.

YANKEES GO WEST
 CRUSHED IN DEFEAT

SnS tN |.
 Under the above caption the New York Times of May , gives the following account of game the tween the Yankees and Athletics
 Weary Wi.h disaster and plunged into despair IS black as q starless night. Ihe forlorn Yankees made a las stand against the Athletics at the Polo Grounds yesterday. and lost. For seven innings young Ray Fish TT matched lis sinewy right arm against fhe seasoned hard-muscled south wing of Eddie Plank. Up to th" seventh inning it was an even battle and he score then was io |
 Then. with all The hrilliancy O. Mt Pelee on T tear. the eruption of 1hc Yankee forces took place. The whole team vent up into the air amid hiaZe af fireworks as colorful as the aurora borealis on an arctic even ing and when the Mackmen had ceased their juror four runs had been burned past Worthy Inside Guard F, Sweeney and nothins TO mained ef Fisher and his Yankee allies but a heap of ruins.
 Professor. please unwind few chords of that weary dirge from Saul, muff,e the drums. and lower the flags To half mast. while the hapless Chance leads his shattered army limpiug from the field to the Pull mans which carry them away 10 Detroit What the Yankees needed Inst night was q long. peaceful sleeI'
 With the dreary departure of the dejected. there is left behind the gloomy memory of a string of losses. Not game has been won at home and the Peerless Tralers invade the bailiwick of Jennings with the creepy ghost Of fifteen bleak defeats stalking in their path. The joyous ycll of "Eh-Sah" will echo in their ears in Detroit like the doleful croaking Of the frogs in the pond next to the old cemetery
 Draw the curtains and let the Yan- koes sleep.
 According to the gest recollection, the score yesterday was s to l. Up to the eighth inning. the Tanks and The Athletics were alike as two peas. both playing tip-top. 14-karat baseball. The Mackmen sent over a run in the fourth. when with one out Home Run Baker singled to left and stole second. Sweeney made a treacherous toss 10 second to cut down the run ner. The ball rolled to centre field and Baker lifted himself out of a cloud of dust and went to third. Me lnnes was 1ickled in the rihs by pitched ball Mclnnes and Baker raced toward second after the truant raced toward second after the traunt McInnes and while he was thusly engaged, Baker went home and Me Innes beat Chase to second by an eyelash. Everybody safe.
 The crowd laughed The suffaws were directed mostly at Prince Hal.
 Sweeney atoned for that fretful throw in the fifth inning, when he landed on Plank for a home-run drive into the right field grand stand, the ball bounded out on the lawn after 1t had dented the seats. In that same inning, Stump crashed a two bagger to the left, but he was marooned at the middle pier when Fisher lifted a high fly to Walsh.
