Crashing into an Iceberg.
The British war ship Flamingo had a
narrow escape r cently, while cruising
off the coast of Newfoundiand, trom
being crushed to pieces by an enormous
iceberg. Tine presemce of icebergs on
thecoast was known to the captain and
officers of the Flamingo, and a very
sharp and earelul outlook was kept up.
Two msn were posted on the
ond at the time, and it was one of these
that first decried the hugh mountain of
joe ahead, and sounded the word of
warning. The officer in command im-
mediately telegraphed to the engine.

When the steamer lo: zed off from the
huge bere the ice towered 100 teet above
her mastheads, with terrible menacing
projeciions threatening in their fall to
sink the little war vessel deep down in
the Atlantic. Ata later season of the
ear such a collision would probably
ave heen aitended with comnlete de-
struction to the steamer and all on
board, but the icebergs now sailing
along the coast of Newfoundiand are
hard and eohesive and not liable, as in
autumn months, to shiver into pieces by
the least jar or impact, or even by the
ordinary detonation of a gun.
Had the iceherg broken upas the bows
of the Flamingo erashed upon it there
cotid be no survivor to urfold the
dreadful tale. The berg was al least a
half mile in length, and averaced about
250 feet above the surface otf the water,
or more than 100 leet above the mast
tops of the ship. It was fortunate, t o,
that there was no sea on, as insuch =
case the berg might have rolled over on
the steamer when close to it and
crushed it into staves. Aft r parting
company with the iceberg the Flamingo
was got round and Leaded for St. Johns
where she arrived about an hour and a
half after the accident.

The Moscovstia Vedomosti reports the
following case: In the village of Khaji-

Armenian, Mirza, with his wife and four
children, lind been starving for somo
time. His neighbors, equally destitute,
could not help him. One day, after a
fruitless search for food. he returnad
home, where he found his wife in tears
and his children erying aloud for bread.
In sheer despair he flung hinselt into
the flames of a large oven, after kill- |

Remains of a Giant Race in Ohio.
A correspondent of the Cincinnati
Enquirer, writing about the remains of
a giant race found in Mus: ingum
county, Ohio, says: The mound in
which these remarkable discoveries
were made was about sixty-four feet
ong and thirty-five feet wide, top
measurement, and gently sloped down
to the Lill where it was situated. A
number of stumps of trees were found on
the siope, standing in two rows, end on
the op of the mound were an oak and a
hickory stump, all of which bore marks
of great age. All tlie skelefons were
found on a level with the hill, and about
eight feet from the top of the mound.
Now to a more particular description of
these ant es pon mains:
In one grave there were two skeletons
one male and one female. The female
face was looking downward, the male
being immediate y on top, with the face
lcoking upward. The male skeleton
measured nine fest in length, and the
female eight feet,
In another grave were also found two
skeletons —male and female—with the
feronle face looking upward and the
the male face looking downward. The
male frame in this case was nine feet
four inches in length and the female
cight feet.
In another grave was found a female
skeleton which was incased in a clay
coffin, holding in her arms the skeleton
of a child three feet and a half long, by
thie side of which was an image, which,
upon being exposed to the atmosphere,
crumbled rapidly
The remaining seven were found in
single graves, and were lying on their
The smallest of the seven was

One single civcamstance connected with
this discovery was the fact that not a
single tooth was found in either mouth
except in the one incased inthe clay
siGes.
On the south end of the mound was
erected a stone altar, four feet and a halj
wide and twelve feet Jong, built on an
‘arthen foundation nearly four feet high,
stones, upon which sacrifices were un-
doubtedly made, for upon them were
found charred bones, cinders end ashes.
This was covered by about three feet of
earth. This excavation was made un-
der the direction of the Muskingum
County Historical s ciety, and the things
were present and walched the
work as it progressed. It was pu.sued
with great interest and diligence, there

Bulgaria is a nice kind of a place to

though I do not think that all suicides
are insane. But itis aform of collapse
like insanity. Now, there are two
forms of collapse due to a cause ex-
tremely prevalent to-day. That cause
is the enormous influence of the element
of chance in the business of to-day —-in
othér words, to gambling in all its
tormas. The intense attention upon
mental combinations, inseparable from
gambling in business, is liable to pro
duce insanity. The tension in forming

consequently a source of deep anxiety,

Romans destroyed themselves simply
because they did notsucceed inthe real-
ization of projects they hind formed, and
one of the greatest examples of that was
the philosopher Seneca. Having failed
‘in educating a good emperor and pro-
duced only a scamp by his process, and
having become very rich and mixed in
ail the gambling of the day—which was
much ike what we have now-—he was
first overtaken by paralysis, of which
there is the incontestable mark in the
drawing of the mouth seen in all his
his life, he did away with himself.
And now a great many men to-day are
in that plight, their brains and spines
racked by the alternate excitations and
| depressions of gambling, their nervous
systems subjected to the strain of fear
of the future, and they give way, as is
very natural. That women are com-
paratively very little subject to such
influences is the great cause why the

Dr. Jared Linsly, one of New York's
oldest and most highly respected general
practitioners, who was formerly for
many years connected with Bellevue
hospital, says that he does not remem-
ber ever to have known a case of an at-
tempted suicide in which if deatt was
sufliciently delayed after the perpetra.
tion of the fatal act to permit an ex-
pression of a wish by the victim, there
was not manifested an intense desire for
life, a passionate regret for the rash
deed that had been done. And if there
is any one thing which the venerable
doctor Liates and contemns above all
other things, it is a pistol, which he
says is so handily used by men in
moments of depression with fatal effect
beyond hope of recall. It is his belief
that suicide is seldom a premeditated
act, but in almost all cases the instan.
taneous result of a momentary impulse.
