In short. The motherly hen w ho gath

obliged to combat any question of t ca

themselves only with heat. Hut even

The temperatuto in the incubator is
maintained by a self-iegulatlng ther

the tiniest mites, "six-month babies,"
as they ate called, ore fed tlnough the

At the bock of tho room we noticed
a little glabs-room, In which were two

SOME IDEAS THAT ARE CATCHING"
Xcwspnpcrs Illumed for Chronicling

Which 'rend to Support the I'ore
goltig Thcor).
From the Figaro.
Wo are nt tho ptescnt moment con
fronted with a serious question to
which sullklcnt attention has not been
given. It Is the featful Intteaso of sui
cides In Paris nnd In nil other capital
cities. This Is a malady of civilization,
we might almost pay n contagious mal
ady. In addition to physical epidemics,
theie ate also mental epidemics. Doth
commence In the same way, at llrst by
Isolated oases nnd nftei'Witrd bv lm
tuedlato contagion. The epidemic sub
sides nnd then suddenly bursts out
ngaln with extrnotdlnai v enetgy
under some Inlluence, often that of
temperature; for It has been noticed
thnt In certain months of tho summer
suicides nio most numeious. They are
climatic.
Tho existence nf epidemics of Ideas
Is ttndenlnble. That hns been pioved,
for example, during the bomb-tlltow-Ing
craze. It was a Eutopean epi
demic w hlch burst out at the same
tlmo and appealed In sevetal placets.
In anarchy theie nio also centres of
Infection. In France the contagion
wns evident. The enses succeeded each
othei tapldly. Ilavachol was the llrst
victim of tho disease, and ho contami
nated all the others, Vulllant, Henri,
etc. Vitriol throwing was one of the
symptoms of ti mental epidemic. The
beautiful and fotsaken Matlo Dlete
was the fltst to bring the thing Into
notoilety. After her for a long tlmo
many women who believed that they
had reason to complain of tho conduct
of their lovcis had tesoutco to vlttlol.
The craze became contagious, like tho
choleta or the plague. Xow It has al
most entitelv passed nwny.
XOW EPIDEMIC.
Suicide Is the epidemic at tho pres
ent time. It is Int teasing and making
numeious victims, and tho pi ess unin
tentionally helps to lncteae the evil.
Tho journnls aie the centres of its
propagation. They accustom people to
the Idea of voluntniy death, almost
Justify It and extol it In the country
dlsttlcts It Is customatv to he silent
In tegai d to a suicide. It Is considered
a culpable desertion of life, something
that Is almost shameful. In tho ceme
totles theio Is a special cot nor for the
suicides. Hut our newspapets give
publicity to tho suicides, throw a cer
tain amount of .sentimentality around
them, and cover their cofllns with llow
oi s. Imagine an unfortunate man.
broken down by poverty and mourn
ing, leading a detailed account of a
suicide. It puts temptation in his way,
points to a lefuge. Why did he not
think of that simple tetnedy ? And
another figure Is added to the statis
tics of suit ides. Today death has no
tenor for the bioken-hoaited. They
tecoive him gladly, speak to him calm
ly, make their anangements with him,
and sign, to say. togethet tho decima
tion of voluntary departuio upon the
white paper which the Ink puts In
mourning.
Put the gravest symptom of the mal
ady Is .shown In what we tall huleldo In
common. W h ivo all toad ih- honl
lilo account ol tin tee ent suicide of the
four young women in tho Faubourtr
I'olssonnloi". Thy wotked together In
tho same place, and the same box of
charcoal nsphyxiated each one. In this
case, aUo, the Journals wore pernlclms
vchlcKs. You could sap In the illustta
tioiiH colored prints of tho four dead
bodies lying side by side, and even th
little dog also Included In the dark ad-
entitle. Xo doubt the case was singu
larly pathetic. Each one had a teal
grief. One had seen her husband,
whom she loved, taken to a madhouse;
another was abandoned by her hus
band, and tho third abandoned by her
lover and enceinte. Tears nr contag
ious They ate attracted to ok It oth'-r
llko drops ot water, but in mingling
they of cotiise, become larger. Each
ono of thoso unfoitunate young women
might have been able to boat- her bur
den of gri f alone, but tho weight was
Increased by the souot8 of tho oth
ets. That Is why the idea of suleid
having fltst come to one, was bound
Inevitably to leach the others. What a
bcene for a play w tight was that last
evening, tho evening when they told
tho stoiles of their lives and shed their
remaining tears in common! Then they
took their last supper, at which they
laughed and sing. People are Joyous
when they become decided. They feel
stronger. "The strongest is he wh'o has
i enounced," as Isben bays; and In this
ease each one was fortified by the ele
tet initiation of the others.
EXTIHELY TOO COMMON.
This kind of suicide In common Is
certainly ttaglc.and It Is a grave symp
tom of the piogt-'ss of what we may
call this epidemic. The philosopher
Hattmann, a disciple of Schopenhauer,
and nlso nn npostle of pessimism, gives
ns the final consequence of his system
nnd thV Inevitable end of the wot Id
"an Immense cohmlcal suicide to bo
committed by huminlty." Certainly
pessimism, philosophical denial, and Ir
tellglon count for a gnat deal In the
increase of suicides. Muss t himself,
speaking of tho death of Holla, blamed
Voltnlto. proclaiming thnt If the slight
est thtead had still held h'ls soul to any
faith ho would not have "prostituted
his death." The want ut faith Is ono ot
tho great causes of this malady. Nev
ertheless, wo have tho example of sui
cides bequeathing all the money that
th'ey possessed for masses for the te
pose of their souls.
Hut theio are other causes. In the
first place, we aro no longer nblo to
suffer, not even physically. Wo send
for cocaine nnd chloioform In cases of
clniple suffering, even the druwing of
n inntli Where Is tho onduintice of
other times befote the discovery of
these ninrvellous thugs which heem
almost necessaty for our too sensitive
modem and pet haps degeueiated hu
manity, Incapable of Renting physical
pain? Moial suffering wo cannot en
duie. We accept life on tho condition
thnt It must bo without bitterness. In
other words, wo want tho Impossible.
In the "Pnrlslcnne," that admirable
comedy of M. Ilecque. theio is ono pro
found phrnse When tho lovers bo
como cold and a sort of sadness comes
over them, nnd when ono asks tho oth
er the meaning of it, tho nnswer Is:
"There nio shades" That Is the very
soul of tho period: It Is the malady of
people too much civilized and too re
fined, They suffer on account of shades
and die on account of shades,
CIVILIZED CO.WAIIDS.
How many suicides have had no oth
er cause? At tho very first trouble
pcoplo nro ready to say, i have had
enough." Suicide Is there. Tho love of
llfo Is nliscnt. It Is the strong and
young race that sticks to life. Thnt
Is why suicide Is unknown among the
savages. The Idea, of death which Is
presented In the accounts of suicides
to bo founJ In the journals gives tho
vertigo. It hns an attraction; the at

NOTAIH.r. IT.X NAMES.
The Norn do 1 I utile ol .llimy Promi
nent Living W rltcrs.
Every leader of novels nnd tales Is
pretty well familiarized with the noms
do plume assumed by certain, favorite
authots, genet all v for leasons only
known to themselves. "The Duchess"
of tho late Mis. Matgatet Hungerford;
"Ouldn," the childish conti action of the
Clnlstlnn name of Mile. Louise do la
Hameo; tho famous "Pnz" of Dickens'
enily w things, foimcd on sltnllatly
childish lines; the "Charles Egbert
Craddock" of Miss Maty Xoalllcs Mur
fico, and many others nio cases In
point. A lecent useful publication
"Who's Who," 1S97 contains a list of
thofe and hany others, a groat num
ber of them unfamiliar to the average
reader.
Among these may bo noted "Sarah
Gtand," who wns a Miss Clatke, and
Is a Mts. McFall; "Henry Seaton Mer
rlmnn," whose novel of "Tho Sowers"
made almost as much stir as Miss
Orand's "Heavenly Twins." who is
Hugh S. Scott; "Maxwell Gray," tho
attractive name assumed bv Miss M
G. Tuttlett; the "Miss Impulsla Gush
Ingham" of Lady Dufterln, and tho
shoit and simple "Q" of Arthur T
Qulller-Couch (who pronounces the last
syllable as If It weie spelled Cooch, by
the wnv); "Maarton Maartens," the
briefer and better name taken by Hen
J. M. W. Van de Pom ten Schwnrtz,
the clover portray er of Dutch life, the
widely known "Edna Lynll," which is
almost an anagram of the first two
nnmes of Its Inventor and user, Miss
Ada. Ellen Havlv; "Iota," who wrote
"A Yellow Aster," Is Mis. Kathleen
Mnnulngton Cafftyn, and nearly evety
ono knows, of com so, that Anthony
Hope Hawkins is the shorter "Anthony
Hope" of "Zemin" fame, and that Hev.
John Maclaten Watbon Is "Ian Mac
laren." A lnige class ot noms do plume Is
made up by the women who have taken
masculine names. Nothing is more
nnnoylng than the uncertainty In re
gard to the pronoun caused by these
less Illustrious followers of George
Sand and Geotge Eliot. "John Stiange
Wintci" is known to be Mrs Arthur
Stnniinid tathcr widely, and tho fact
that the owner of "Lucas Malet" Is the
youngest daughter of Charles and the
niece of HeiTy IClngsley, has made the
fact that she is now Marv St. Legor
Harrison, tho wife of the rector it
Clovclly, better known oven than he.
clever novel. "Tho Carlsslma;" "George
Partem," under whose name som
pleasant tales of ttavel have been
ptlnted. Is Miss Matgaiet SymonJs,
"John Oliver Hobbs" Is Mts. Pontl
Craigle. but her assumed name Is bet
ter known than tho fact that she was
born Jn Hoston; "Rowland Gray" Is
quite as effectually concealed under her
own piopor style of Miss Hrown; "Sh.
ney C. Grier" Is, In reality, a Mlbs
Gtelg, Mrs. Mona Caltd, whoso name
sounds llko nn assumed one. but Is not,
has sometimes written as "G. M. Hut
ton," to make It harder for the otitic,
and finally, Mrs. Langtiv has .'ent out
some at tides with the signature "Mis.
Jut si y."
Another sort of a confusion Is caused
by th mnniages of women well known
to fame under their maden appella
tions Miss Kntheiine Tynan was
gtnwlng In reputation before she be
came Mis. II. A. Illnkson; Amellne
Hives after a tlmo of being Mrs Itlves
Chanlor, became thotoughly disguised
a j the Pilncoss TrouboUkoy Small
Jeanetto Duncan became Mr.s. Evetahd
Cotes; tho "Ilalph Iron," which was
so well known ns the pen name of Miss
Ollvo St hi loner, grew lost to fame
again as Mr.s. Cronw tight; Elizabeth
a' Coutt, on the other hand, Is hotter
known as Lady Iletberi, and Miss
Mottle Mmlnl Dpulo, nuthor or "A Girl
in the Carpathians," pains another suit
of distinction nsMrs. Henry Norman.
Some very distinguished men of let
ters have occasionally used some ap
pellation other thnn their own, tho
' Father Pi out" ot Francis H. Mnhoney,
for exnmplo. Grant Allen masquer
ades even now ns "Cecil Pawer" upon
occasion; Kcbert Hair loses himself
among the mutable many ns "Luko
Shatp;" James Matthew Hat tie used
to be "Gavin Ogllvy;" "F. Anstey"
Is Thomas Anstey Guthrie, and Charles
Heber Clark is always "Max Acleler."
Of different purpose Is the change mado
by dropping tho fnthet's family name,
as Sir Henry Irving hns dropped Iiio
drlbb und Dr. .Max Nordau his Sued
fdd. i
