Statistic Show a IVrnllar Itnnd of Rym puthy lletween the Two. During tho lust three yrar, ay The MerliPnl nnd SnrRioal Reporter of Phil adelphitt, nenrly ono-fif tiotli of all death ninoiiK plivBirlnti hnve been by Bnii'ldn. This i n couerTtlve estimnto, a many iiiHtancea of death ore attribut ed to necideutal overdonintr, n tho tnud cney it olwny to hnh np 0 snicide whenever ponsibln. But without includ ing itueh cnea, the fact ti'miiin that the medienl profeoRiou i moro prone to auicide than any other. Thorn statistic may ba explained by thn development of morbid fancies iu the mind of doo tor on account of bin constant associa tion with the sick nnd dying, or of an actnal indifference to death, or becaus he ha the reqniwite knowledge of how to die conveniently and painlessly. Poisoning if a favorite method, bat it doei not appear from statistic! that the cyanides or morphine have the pref erence which would exist if epicurean philosophy were carried into the choice of drags. At the same time, physicians usually pat their knowledge of drugs to a practical execatiou in selecting a pot son for suicide. Bat if the mere knowl edge of the painlessness of death by cer tain means is not a determining factor in leading so many physicians to sal cide, probably the accessibility of poi son la Suicide is largely a matter of insane impulHC, and soch an impulse can often be ascertained even in the ruse of those who huve long been indifferent to life and have contemplated suicide. If man must put on his hat and overcoat, walk to a drug storo and tax bis inge nuity for a lie with which to explain his desire for poison, he may postpone the 1 fatal act from mere inertia, or he may meet a xrieudor have but interest in life aroused by one of a multitude of every. day occurrence or physioul exeroise may bring him to his seusus. If, as is the ease with almost every doctor, he has simply to feel iu his pocket or walk across his office to get deadly poison. tbe impulse may be curried into exe.a tion before anything run happen to cap plant it in tbe brain. I DeHning Appandlelti. A teachers' examination was held at Seneca, Kan., at which one of tbe ques tions in physiology was as follows! "What is appendicitis, and what are it oauses and cures?" Below are given a few of tho answers as reportod in the Seneca Tribune: "It is a disease of the appendix, which is located somewhere between tbe liver and the heart, tbe organ of tbe Sections." "Cosiflcation of tbe en arrow of tbe longitudinal shaft bone. " "Appendicitis is sunstroke or over beating, cansed by a great beat Tbe core is to get the patient into a cool place, bathe the face and hand with rater." "Is tbe disease of appendioe, caused by want of exercise, improper food, clothing and ventilation. "Appendicitis is condition caused by food substances lodging and causing a blockade in tbe digestive apparatus. It is cured by .surgical operation, in which the obstruction is cot away. A theory is given that the appendix was at one time a tail on man and la not yet evolved off. It is cat away by tbe sur geon." Plant That Thrive Indoor.

OF COURSE IT'S TRUE. Till Story of thn Lame tlorne and the Yonng; Doctor. "One reads so many stories about ani mal Intelligence that it would be hazard ous for a donbter to expri'cs his disbo licf in almost any gathering of men at tho present dny," remarked Dr. W. W. Walkius. "A littlo instance ranie within my own observation a number of years ago when I was studying med icine nud which convinced me that the member of thn horse family at least onglit to be credited with the possession of a very considerable quantity of rea soning power. It was the rnstotn for thn students at the medical institution at which I pursued my studies to wear a small bodge upon their rants to dis tinguish them from others at tho col lege, A liorsii belonging to the estab lishment wan used a great ilral about the medienl department, and the mil mul seemed to have a special preference for the embryo doctors more than for any other people about the establish ment "One day, while a number of as were gathered iu a little knot upon a small rampus iu thr. rear of the college, the animal in question, which used to nip the gross in the location, came toward tho group limping very badly. Ho came to a stop a dozen or more feet from the crowd and, citref-.illy surveying tho lot of as, Anally 11 mil n np his mind ns to what hn wanted to do nnd without any hesitation limped directly to my side, whinnied, stuck his nose ngninst my body and held up his left foreleg. Look ing down, I discovered a large nail im bedded in thn frog of his hoof. This bnd evidently caused tho lameness. I then realized the interesting fact that the animal desired attendance. I ex tracted the nnil with some difficulty, and the horse whimpered with relief and walked away. Bather curious as to why tho beast had picked me oat to at tend to his wound, I glauced at the boys and found the solution to tho prob lem. Not one of the group had his med ical badge upon hi coat but myself. Tbe horse had recognized the insignia, realized its significance and acted ac cordingly. "New Orleans Times-Dcm ocrut AFRAID OF THE HOODOO. Whr th Street Car Coudotjtor Weald Ma Cut th Pageant In Twain. A hearso crossed the track and tho motoueer put on thn brn'.e so suddeuly that the car nearly stood on its nose. Then he sat down on the front sent to wait the pnxsing of the long striug of carriage followiug the black draped vehicle. A fat man who had nearly been thrown over the front roil by the sud den stopping of thenar snorted angrily "Why don't yon cat across? I've got to catch train. I can't wait here all day " "Can't help it boss. You'll have to wait and catch another train. "Well, I'll report yon to tbe torn pany. That procession will tuke five minutes in passim us. ' "Report away. I can't belp it if the proceMion takes SO minute. You couldn't hire me to run this car across that funeral procession for tbo best job ou the line. That's the worst hoodoo a man could run op ngoiuBt. " "Buhl" said tho fat man. "All right boss. I know whalt I'm talking about. One of tbe best men on this line crossed funeral procession senn after the trolley system was pat in. A live wire dropped on tbe back of bis neck and electrocuted him before he'd gone a block. A little while later another poor fellow cut across back of a hearse. He ran over three children in as many weeks. He quit the road as crazy as loon. Now the conductor on that same car baa lost every cent be bad in tbe world, and bis wife and child have died. Bah, yourself 1 I'd like to see yon get off this oar and walk across in front at one of those carriages. I'll bet yon'd be catchin yonr last train in this world pretty quick. Jest hop off and try it now." Bat tbe fat man only shifted aneasily about on the bard car seat and waited silently until the last carriage had passed. New York Telegram. How Ban Kmbalm. Bee, says Horbia, can embalm snooesafully as could tbe anoient Egyp tians. It often happens in damp weather that slag or snail will enter bee hive. This is, of course, to the unpro tected slug case of sudden death. Tbe bees fall upon bim and sting him to death at once. But what to do with the carcass become vital question. If left where it is, it will broed a regular pestilence. Now comes in tbe clever ness of the inserts. They set to work and cover it with wax, and there yon may see it lying embalmed just as the nations of old embalmed tbelr dead. When it is a snail that is tbe intruder, he is, of coarse, impenetrable to their sting, so they calmly cement his shell With wax to the bottom of the hive imprisonment for life, with no hope of pardon.

Did Not Understand Tlienophy and Sim- peeled They Were Mnaele. Tho girl who hns recently become in terested iu theosophy was eujoylng her solf Immensely, endeavoring in tho most dlsintetested way, of course, to convert n chance acquaintance to her new views, nnd the long nud bard sounding words rolled off her nimblo tongue in the mnnuer peculiar to an en thusinstio student "The Imniniferous ether," she was saying interestedly us the pnle yonng woman ncrnss the oar clos d the book which she had been thoughtfully study ing and fell to listening to the scraps of conversation which surrounded her, "is really nothing moro or less than a big psychical mirror. Evorythlng we hnve ever done from tho beginning of the Mnnvnntnra, everything re shall do until we once moro rench tnn repose of the Dcvncbnnio plane, Is rcfleeted in the Aknsuio radiance, nud At this paint the pale young woman across thn car leaned over aud touched the speaker's arm. "Pardon my interruption aud the seeming impertiuence," sho murmured sweetly, ns the Impromptu lecturer, brought to an unwilling stop in the full tide of her eloquence, glared at her wrathfully, "but would yon mind say ing those words you just used over again?" "What words?" inquired the thooso phist, slightly mollified by tho implied compliment to her superior knowledge, "Manvontora, do yoa menu, or wns it Oevachan? Oh, I supposo you mean Aknsnict Well, thut's a Hindu or East Indian, or Brahmin word, I'm not quite sure which, aud it means oh, light, or radinuco, or something like that any way. Are you interested in theosophy?" sho hastened to add, nuxions to cover her lack of definite knowledge as to the meaning of the word under discussion, "for If you are" "I'm not, thank yon, " interrupted the thoughtful youug woman more sweetly and apologetically, "but I couldn't belp bearing those words, aud they made me anxious. I'm just beginning to study anatomy, yon know, and I thought yon were talking about some new muscles, and as I'm going to have private examination tomorrow I thought I'd just ask yon and make sure. But the new convert to theosophy wns not listeuing, and the acquaintance who had been delivered from a disserta tion upon the Aknsn-io ethor laughed immoderately before procsodiug to change tbe subject of conversation.

"Well," said the eondnotor coolly, "I'm eorry, of course, but no pay no ride. ' And he reached for tbe bell. Tbe woman in black looked at the young man with tbe newspaper. He met her gaae. "Madam," he said, "I'll buy yoor tioket for nickel." The woman hesitated, and tbe con ductor smiled and furtively winked fat man In the rear seat The ex. change waa made, and the conduotor passed long. "I hoped," said tbe young man. "that your unfortunate daughter wan better by this time. " Tbe woman in black darted a venom 00s look at bim. "Oh, yes," he said, "we have met before, and yoa are still niokel ahead of me.

Tbe finest cliff scenery in the United Kingdom is on the coast of the county of Donegal, at tbe northwest of Irelund, facing tbe Atlantic, where the variety and grandeur of the cliffs are most thrilling and impressive.

In less than half a mile from the sea the mountain rears its height of nearly 9,000 foet In tbe island of Achill, off the west coast of Ireland, tbe cliffs of Croghan, at Aohill Head, rise sheer from tbe water's edge to the dizzy height of 8,000 feet London Standard.

"What most concerns ns, " writes Evniigulist Moody in Tho Ladies' Home Journal, "Is tho relntion which Christ's resurrection has to our death and future life. Ho 111 liny people live iu n fearful dread of death nnd thn grave, I believe, Jnst becanso tin y do not study this doc trine. Thry speak of dentil and the judgment with a shudder, nud their vision srems to be unable to pierce be yond. 1 well reniemiier how in my native tillage In New England It used to be rustomnry, ns n funeral procession left the chnreh, for tho bell In the burying ground to toll ns many times as the de ceased was years old. How anxiously I would count those stroke of the bell to see how long 1 might reckon on living. Sometimes thero would be 70 or 80 tolls, nud 1 would uivo 11 sigh of relief to think 1 bod so many years to live. But at other times there would be only n few years tolled, nud thru borror would seizo nie ns I thought that I, too, might soon be claimed as a victim by that dread monster, death. Death aud judgment wr.ro a constant source of fear to me till I realized the fact that neither shall i ver hnve nny hold ou a child of God. "In his letter to the Romans tho Apos tle Paul has shown, in most direct language, that there is no condemnation for a child of God, Lot ha is passed from under tho power of law, und in tbe epistle to the Corinthians he tells us 'there is a natural body, und there is 0 spiritual body,' 'and an we have borne tho imnK8 of tho earthy. we shall also bear the image of the luavenly. " Teak. In an article iu Timber (London) on tho value of teak for structural and me chanical purposes tho claim is put forth that such wood is reully the most durn blo timber known und of special Impor tance to shipbuilders, being very bard, yet light, easily worked, and, though porous, strong and lusting It is soon seasoned, shrinks but little, and on ac count of its oily nature docs not injure iron. Iu southeastern Asia it is not only considered the best material for ship construction, bat for bouse carpentry aud other work where strength and oth- I er lasting qualities aro required It is j rarely attacked by uuts of tho white species, and its rare durability renders j it specially valuable iu a climate like ; that of India, where tho elements caus ing decay are so numerous und power ful, where dnmpuess brings on rapid decomposition, and where the white ant devours without scruple. In the operation of cutting this wood is fre quently girdled ouu or two years beforo it Is felled, and, thus exposed to the wiud, the action of thn sun and to the pumping cupucity of the leaves, it sea sons rapidly and Is drier and lighter than timber felled preau. The Bedouin' Hon. The Bedouin's hnnsn is round and surrounded by a round wull in which tbe flocks are penned at night. It is flat roofed aud covered with soil, and inside it is as destitute of iuterest as it is pos sible to conceive a few mats 011 which the family sleep, a few jars in which they store their butter, nud n skin churn in which they make tho same. In one house into which I penetrated a bundle was banging from the ceiling, which I found to be a baby by tbe exposure of one of its littlo feet Everything is poor and pastoral. He has hardly any clothes to cover himself with, uothiug to keep him warm when the weather is damp save his home spun sheet, und hn ha not a soul above his flocks. Tbe closest intimacy exists between the Bedoain nnd his goats nnd bis cows. The animals understand and obey certain calls with absolute ac curacy, and yon generally see a Socotran shepherdess walking before her flock, and not after it, aud they stroke and caress their little oowa until they are as tame aa dogs. Nineteenth Century. HI riowara. "I heard in my youth," saya Sir Charles Murray, "one of many curious stories of this Sir John Shaw. "He was most eccentric in bis appearance and dress aud cored nothing for tidiness in the grounds immediately surrounding bis bouse. One day he invited two gen tlemen from - Edinburgh to dine with him at Carnock. As waa tbe custom of the time, they appeared before dinner in knee breeches, silk stockings and thin shoes. The weather being fine, Sir John invited them to take a turn in the garden.

Why the Mere of William ITWa Called to the Throne. Several newspapers, iu explaining to their readers how Qtieeu Victoria came to succeed William IV, say it was be ennse she wns his niece. That is tho truth, but only hnlf the truth, for Will iam IV had nephews and other nieces. George Ill's first, second, third nnd fourth sous were respectively tho Prince cf Wales, afterword Georpo IV, who died rhildless in 1880; Frederick, duke of York, who died In 1837, nl with out cliildreu; William, dnke of Clar ence, who died Wllllnm IV, Jnno 20, 1837, without lawful Issue, nnd Ed wutd, duke of Kent and Strathearn nnd earl of Dublin, who died .Intl. 93, 1830, aged RR, leaving ns the solo issue of hi marriage with Prior?? Victoria of Leiniiigeu u baby daughter, now Queen Victoria. The queen succeeded William IV not because she wns simply his niece, but because she was the only child of the brother next to him in thn order of succession. Had Quceu Victoria bad brother she would iu all probability not have been a personage of hlstOTicnl celebrity, save in the contingency of succeeding him. Her rights were those that de volved on her from her father. At the time she succeoded to tle throne hor uncles tho Dukes of Cumberland, of Sussex and Cambridge were living, yonnper brothers of her father nnd jnu lor to him In the line of snccesion in the ordor named.
