METHODS OF SUICIDE.
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

Medical Record cites the case of Wash

it would seem, for an old man sick
with a disease, very exhausting to the
vitality. It consisted in the abstrac

of blood, the administration of about
20 grains of calomel and 0 grains of

THE SPORTING WORLD.
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.

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

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.

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.
