How Denperate l'erionn Adopt I're vailinK Styles of Destruction. "The remarkable methods several sui cides have adopted in this city recently call attention to the fact that methods of self destruction are largely matters of suggestion," suid a doctor. "When a man gets in that condition where he wants to die, he has little inventive ability and adopts the method that has been brought to his mind. You will no tice that after one person kills himself with acid there follows a long list of acid suicides. It is the same with any unusual method. One person gets up an original way, and that inspires the next one to try his hand until we have | a whole series of such grewsome nov elties. "I have proved this theory. Several years ago I was discussing this feature of suicide with several friends, includ ing the coroner. They ridiculed my theory. I offered to prove It. It hap pened that shooting and hanging were popular just then. I wrote an article for a newspaper 011 the horrors of strangulation and pistol wounds and ; explained the ease with which one ' could kill himself with prussic acid, j Death from prussic acid, you know, is ! absolutely instantaneous and, many be i lieve, painless. There had not been a suicide with this acid for more than a year, but within a week after the arti cle was published there were four, and one of the unfortunates had clippings of my article In his pocket. "Of course I was accused of killing these four by suggestion, but I was never arrestvd and do not feel guilty, for when onee a person has decided to kill himself the method Is a slight mat ter. No person In his right mind will commit suicide. We all know in our sane moments of easy ways to end life, but when in the suicidal frame of mind nature seems to rob us of our reason in this direction, as if in a desperate hope of preventing the sacrifice."—New York Mail and Express. llow They Treated Wa!iliiffton. As an example of the progress of i medicine during the last century The Medical Record cites the case of Wash ington's last illness. He died of laryn geal diphtheria, and the treatment was, it would seem, for an old man sick with a disease, very exhausting to the vitality. It consisted in the abstrac | tlon of between two and three quarts of blood, the administration of about 20 grains of calomel and 0 grains of tartar emetic and an injection, with ex ternal application of blister. And yet so strong was Washington's constitu tion that he survived this treatment for 24 hours. 0110 Coming:. "Could you tell me the meaning of the word 'cataclysm?'

A remarkable exhibition of billiard shots was made in Maurice Daly's rooms, New York, recently by Miss May Kaarlus, a new star in the billiard world. A large crowd in which were many noted amateurs and local experts witnessed the display of fancy shots, and the general opinion when Miss Kaarlus finished her play was that no billiurd player in the world can equal the young woman in her own line. Maurice Daly was her opponent, he at tempting, with three trials at each shot, to duplicate the woman player's feats, but Miss Kaarlus had him van quished from the start. The woman MISS MAY KAARLUS. expert is ambidextrous, and no possible position of the balls puts her at a dis advantage. Her feats in masse shots commanded continuous applause. The ease and grace of her cue stroke was a show in itself. The balls were placed for each feat, and the shots made Included many seemingly impossible counts, the most spectacular of which were her "push draw," a masse known as "May's own" and some brilliant fol lows. As a wind up she kept eight balls going in procession hardly a foot apart by marvelous delicacy, judgment and accuracy of stroke, then, with 10 balls, played in the same manner from many cushions, gathered the 16 in a compact bunch in one corner of the table. Forfign Golf I'rofenaionala Coming. In addition to Harry Yardon, who will probably return in the early spring, David Brown, "Sandy" Herd and James Braid, the professional golfers, are expected to reach this side before the opening of another season. Brown will doubtless receive an offer to be come professional of the Fox Hills club on his arrival. Herd, who ranks abroad with Yardon and Taylor, will sail before tlie end of March and may be taken up by the Nassau Country club. That he is regarded as an ex ceptionally brilliant player abroad is showu by Hutchinson's comment on him in "The Book of Golf and Golf ers:" "It would be hard to find a man to beat Herd on the greens. He is a fine driver, both in respect of length and straightness; a fine approacher and a tine putter." Braid is the Romford man who re cently defeated Nicholls at his home course, rfe came originally from Earls perry, near Edinburgh, and has several times proved his worth in English open championships, though he has never yet won first place. With three such men as competitors, uext year's open championship is likely to be well worth the journey to see. American Golf In Golfers who believe that their favor ite sport was not played in this country until a recent date will find on consult ing the old records of Fort Orange (now Albany), N. Y., that on Dec. 10, 1650, the following ordinance was passed: "The commissioners of Fort Orange and village of Beverwick having heard (livers complaints from the burghers of this place against playing at golf along the streets, which causes great damage to the windows of the houses and ex poses people to the danger of being wounded, therefore their worships, wishing to prevent the same, forbid all persons playing golf in the streets on pain of forfeiting 25 shillings for each person found doing so." An Rxpemlre Game. Statisticians have been figuring out that the relations between the railroads and hotel keepers and the National league ball clubs ought to lie very ami cable. The aggregate number of miles to be traveled by the eight clubs this season is 1,660,440, for which the rail roads receive 2 cents per mile, or $26,- 008.08. In addition to this, there are sleeper and bus fares aggregating SB,- 640 for the eight clubs. Next come the hotel bills. Each club carries 15 men, making, at $2.50 per day, $3,187.50 for each club, or $25,500 for the season. Bus fares to and from the grounds are figured at SSOO for the season. Thus the League's hotel and traveling bills for the season of six mouths will sum up $66,1 is. Jnck O'Brien to Fltfht In Rnßlnnd. The latest American pugilist to seek fame and fortune across the ocean is Jack O'Brien, Philadelphia's clever middleweight. O'Brien has been be fore the public but a few years, yet he has advanced with such steady progress that there are few men of his class who have better ring records. He has met and defeated such good men as Tommy West, Jimmy Handler, Jack Bonner and Young Peter Jackson. He will make an effort to get a match on with some of the best men England can produce. Charles McKeever re cently made the same trip and was successful in the only bout that he had. YOUTHS' DEPARTMENT Hove Snow Helps Farmers—A Baby Lark's Lesson-Things That Bother the Baby. If all the condensed moisture of the atmosphere were to fall as rain and none of it as snow, hundreds of thou sands of miles of the earth's surface now yleldlpg bountiful crops would be little better than a desert The tremen dous economic gain for the world at large which results from the difference between snow and rain Is seldom real ized by the inhabitants of fertile and well watered lowlands. It is in the extensive regions where irrigation is a prime necessity in agri culture that the special uses of the snow come chiefly Into view. All through the winter the snow Is falling upon the high mountains and packing itself firmly Into the ravines. Thus in nature's great Icehouse a supply of moisture is stored up for the following summer. All through the warm months the hardened snow banks are melting grad ually. In trickling streams they stead ily feed the rivers, which as they flow through the valleys are utilized for Irri gation. If this moisture fell as rain, it would almost immediately wash down through the rivers, which would hardly be fed at all in the summer, when the crops most need water. These facts are so well known as to be commonplace in the Salt Lake val ley and in the subarld regions of the west generally. They are not so well understood in New Jersey or Ohio, where snow is sometimes a pictur esque, sometimes a disagreeable, fea ture of winter. In all parts of the country the notion prevails that snow is of great value as a fertilizer. Scientists, however, are inclined to attach less Importance to its service In soil nutrition—for some re gions which have no snow are exceed ingly fertile—than to itswortli as a blan ket during the months of high winds. It prevents the blowing off of the finely pulverized richness of the top soil. This, although little perceived, would often be a very great loss. In nature's every form there is mean ing.—-Youth's Companion. A Baby Lark's Lesson. A pretty fancy put into charming words Is that of a young lark's flight, told by J. M. Barrle in Scrlbner's Mag azine: A baby lark had got out of Its nest sideways, a fall of a foot only, but a dreadful drop for a baby. "You can get back this way," its mother said, and showed it the way. But when the baby tried to leap it fell back on its back. Then the ipother marked out lines on the ground, on which it was to practice hopping, and it got along beautifully so long as the mother was there every moment to say, "How wonderful you hop!" "Now teach me to hop up," said the little lark, meaning that it wanted to fly. And the mother tried to do it in vain. She could soar up, up very bravely, but she could not explain how she did it. "Walt till the sun comes out after the rain," she said, half remembering. "What is sun? What is rain?" the little bird asked. "If you cannot teach me to fly, teach me to sing." "When the sun comes out after the rain," 'the mother replied, "then you will know how to sing." "I shall never be able to fly or sing!" it wailed. Then of a sudden it had to blink its eyes, for a glorious light had spread over the world, catching every leaf and twig and blade of grass in tears and putting a smile into every tear. The baby bird's breast swelled. It did not know why. It fluttered from the ground. It did not know why. "The sun has come out after the rain!" it trilled. "Thank you, sun! Thank you, thank you! Oh, mother! Did'you hear me? I can sing!" Then It floated up, up, calling, "Thank you, thank you, thank you!" to the sun. "Oh, mother, do you see me? I am flying!" ECnffln* and Elephant. In certain parts of India railway en gineers have many difficulties to en counter, some of them more amusing to read about than to experience. Of one such difficulty the following story 1s told: A frcflght train was lumbering along, when n big elephant came out of the woods and undertook to butt the en gine off the track. The engineer did not like to charge the brute for fear of an upset and several times reversed the engine in the vain hope that the ele phant would take that as a sign of sur render and retire. Finally the elephant backed Into the engine and, setting its forefeet firmly between the rails, endeavored to push the traiu backward with Its hind quar ters. The engineer promptly put on all steam, toppled the elephant over a small embankment, and before it could recover Its senses the traiu passed on. Baby Thoaghti, There are lots of thing? I wonder, J want to know then] all— Whose carriage makes the thunder And why I am not tall; What the robins all are saying, Whose tears ihe raindrops are; If my dolly likes obeying, If heaven is very far; If that tiny cloud's a feather . Jußt blown up in the sky. And what makes all our weather And why I cannot fly; Where the great, bright sun is hiding When it has gone away, Where the stars are all abiding When there dawns the happy day; Why all the plants are growing. Whose lamps the lightnings nre, Whence all the winds are blowing And if they travel far; Why sometimes 'tis much colder, And why my roses fall- When I am ten times older, I s'pone I'll know it all. —Mabel Cronise Jones in Leslie ■ Weekly.
