Precocious Youth Kills Hl1seIf
Over Alleged Theft.
Boy Declared Chemistry to BE His
Lies Sole Desire andN
Happiness.

London.-Few cases Of suicide In
recent years have attracted as much
attention ms that Of Master Arthur
Easterbrook. precocious son Of a re-
tired colonel In the British army. The
youngster killed himself with cyanide
of potassium. He had been experiment
ing In chemistry, to which he was de-
voted. lie presumably was driven to
his act by the discovery that he had
taken some chemical apparatus from
his school to his home. Although he
had merely borrowed II. there was m
insinuation that he was guilty of theft.
A letter left by the boy Is MS follows:
"To whomsoever shall find this:
"Todav will he my last day on this
planet. ! cannot stand the prospects
Of what is coming, so good-by. chemis-
try. my life's sole desire and happiness.

For Those Fond Of Parrots.

The voyage by steamship is very
hard on parrots, which are stored In
the hold, commonly in close proximity
to the engine room. Consequently they
are apt to reach their final destination
In a sickly condition. One should be
careful to make sure In buying an AT
rlcan parrot that II is a healthy bird
There are hundreds of species of par
rots and the most beautiful of them
all are the cockatoos, native exclusive
ly Of Australasia. The giants of the
tribe are the American macaws.
Neither the macaw nor the cockatooo
is ordinarily much of a talker, but
occasionally specimens are very clever
at conversation.

Man Has Copied Natures Work.

Marble. in nature, owes Its crystal
line structure to volcanic heat. But
ingenious man uses heat to counter
felt the volcanic rocks. BY such means,
with suitable materials, he makes
bricks and crockery, which are arti-
fetal tones The processes employed
in the manufacture of chinaware are
merely wOrkship limitations of those
used in the laboratory of nature.
Volcanic rock-granite, trap or what
not-is the very symbol of lmperisha-
bility; but the artificial stones (such
as brick and chinaware) produced by
the fusion of particles under the action
Of heat are among the most enduring
of known substances.

WAYS OF KEEPING YOUTHFUL
Man Who Is Determined Not to Grow
Old Really Has Only to make
an Effort"
I see it In my changing hair,
/ see it in my growing heir,
My growing thirst for early news.
II IA q fact am growing old

I see il In my changing hair,
1 see il in my growing heir,
My growing thirst for early news,
1t is a fact, l am growing old.
And so growing old is just & case of
finding what ones looking for, observes
the Minneapolis Journal. A mar de-
cides that the time has come for him to
be old, and so instead of bracing up,
ignoring the symptoms and finding
some other explanation for the change
in the color of his hair, he ncglects his
dress, walks with n stoop, uses u cane,
stops taking exercise, eats too much,
INDUCES in "reminiscences, retirCs from
business, and in general acquires the
foolish habit of growing old.
He should remember that ii is posi-
BILE to keep a youthful spirit, an active
mind. an interest in current events and
a purpose to serve his fellows, and that
he who does these things will always
be young.
The fact that women generally de-
| cline TO contract the old-aGe habit and
that some men have also resisted the
temptation to fall into 1t would seem
to indicate that if those who do yield
to it would only take the advice of
Dombey to his wife, and 'make an eff
fort" they would learn how foolish
and how unnecessary it is to grow old.
