DRAMATIC Form of Suicide

A variation of the suicide mania has
just come to light in Moreno, northern
Italy, where a Wealthy manufac-
turer the other day met a fantastic
death. He bought a coffin, took 1t
home, and setting fire to some car
bon in his room took his place in the
coffin to await death. When the maid
went to call her master next day she
found a card on his door on which was
written: Bring the undertaken to
take away my corpse" The police
were summoned, and entering the
room, they found the coffin with the
lid lying on It. In the coffin was the
manufacturer, wearing his decorations.
His arms were folded, and lying at

While the world went about its af

its papers, sent it's kilograms and
wrote its letters, the little group at

strip of sand in an unknown sea. A

Inc wires were down; the letter
carrier could not break his way in
TO them. They heard no news and re-
celyed no mail. Confined in a group
OF rude buildings, crouched in a hol-
low of the Sierra's flank. they felt
for the first time what it was to be
outside that circle of busy activity
in which their lives had heretofore
passed. They were face to face with
the nature they thought they had con-
quered and which now in its quiet
grandeur awed them with a sense of
their own small helplessness. Pressed
upon by that enormous silent indiffer-
ence, they drew nearer together, each
individual unit gaining in Importance

seemed irksome were Bill Cannon and

HOUSEHOLD LORE OF VALUE
Some Good Old Rules That Have Been
Handed Down Through Many
Generations,

A capital method of cleaning copper
pans and kettles is to fill them first

milk must have reached the condition

the metal should be polished with a
clean chamois leather.
Garlic juice used to be considered
the best cement for fine china in BY
gone days. To extract the juice from
the garl!cs, they were crushed in a
mortar and then pressed in piece Of
muslin, the juice being then collected
and painted on TO the broken edges
with a brush or a feather.
The finest whiting, crumbled to a
| powder and then made into a paste
with drop or two of sweet oil, repre-

An old-fashioned method of cleaning
an oven is that of placing handful
of straw inside it and setting fire to
