NOBODY WANTS THAT GOLD RING. Fun nearly 100 yearn a eertnin family of working people living in l'aris have ended their lives by suicide. From father to eon, from mother te daughter, him descended a phin gold ring, and on the finger of every one of these suicide., ss they lay in death, this ring has been found. Only last year the body of a young man who had killed himself was brought en the Morgue, nod on his finger wits the fatal Ridden circlet. Ile was the lost of his race. The /log woo buried wila the corpse, from which teo one acquainted with its history will have the courage to remove it. The mental taint in this fetidly came from some remote ancestor, and WWI intensified by their recognition of it until it hem.° a controlling foreot and the ring was.-ceptod as imposing upon Its possessor the obligation to commit anicide, after the exarnple of the person who lest more it. This form of mania usually originates in • disorder of the nervous system, which in its turn arises from amends, or poverty of the blood, one of the results of imperfect nutrition. A reseals letter front. gentleman living in Nor. folk contains the following aooertion : fonywi for death ; I moo afraid of the night ; In',,, afraid to be alone, yet,! hated sotortn. I was afraid that in sons, one of those tom, of deep .;loom and depression I should itft nay hand ogairwt too men life. foe I knees that onanyhad done ea from the same rouse." The dark hours became a time of terror to him, . be mys Ile tossed and tumbled on his bed, wondering if morning would ever dawn again. Its t his ease it was not tin accusing conscience,. he had comniitted no offence; the cause was pnrely • physical one—vet, all too common in England— indigeetion and dyspepsia, the long chain of consequences dragging after it, nervous collapse umong tfietn...

Yet one thing, and one only, was responsible for all the mischief, namely. the poison introduotal into the blood from the decaying food in the stomach end intestioes. The cold feet, the lon of appetite and ambition, the mental despondency, the noose of weariness and fatigue, the had taste in the mouth, dry cough, giddiness, palpitation. chills, weakness, he., are a brood of foul birds hatched in ono nest, and the maim is always iodi• gestion and dyspepsia. Time passed eimehow, as it always does, whether we laugh or cry, and this man grew heartily tired of a life thus burdened and spoiled. He longed to IWO the end of it, and no wonder. But the hut page of Vis ',Mee is pitched in a higher key. He moo, " When I think of when was, and what I net new, I ran hardly realises the change.
