It is a welI-ctablitheJ law thAt the suicides in summer are far more num erous than in winter, although at first sight it would eeera that the hardships and privations of winter in co'd cli male: wocld bo a direct incentivo to ending lifo.

Of comse, the American lead the list with 147, but tho Germans contribute in abnormal nnmbcr no less than 51. The French coma next with 18; the Lish follow with 12 and tha'Eu'r- li-di vwili 10.

"in bane uibuj eiii;iuiiuits iu rciuuie tha dark shadow. The American farmer in the older-settled States marks work a fslinH and his creed is usually Calviuistic or atheist. The. e is little light in bis life, nd although he . rarely fr-els the pinch of want he has few of the innocent pltasures which go far to relieve the drudgsry of the mechanic cr the clerk iu the lare city. Of ths other occupations which cut any figure in the record of suicide, tha merchant teat's with 16, the manufectcrer follows with 13, then came falcon keeper, 10; labsrer, 9; courftsan, 9, and commercial traveler S. The high proportion' of gems of these is due without doubt ts ths hard limes which force many bssinsas men to tho wall and seem to leave them, in their despondent condition, only one way of safety out of their troubles. It is remarkable that the learned pro fesi-ions and tho other occupations which demand some intellectual cult ure do not furnish any material ad diticn tc the list, but it is noticeable that no less than five ministars com mitted suicide. To what this is at tributable it would be difficult to say. Perhaps the crime, in a profession J which teaches that suicide is a sin that 'is unpardonable, may be referred to . tha breaking up of old creed and the uo-sttliug of faith which has led to so many cccentricites by clergymen. .When itcorues to the shnrn of tho various States in tie record of suicide New York does not lead the list, as orie would suppose. Illinois occupies tho foremost placs, the number credit ed to it being forty four against forty three fo- ths Empire State. Of course to ths feverish life of Chicago and the despondency born of luckless specula tion must bi attributed this heavy percentage of sslf deatrustioi.'' Next to these States come Indiana with thirty-eight, Ohio with twenty six and Pennsylvania witn twenty five. Then there is a wide gap until Cali fornia is reached, with tho largn num fatr, in proportion to population, of sixteen. Ths two Territories in which tuicids seems to liav had least at traction to despondent humanity are Utah ad Montana, only cne caso be ing ascribed to each. Perhaps the ex planation of this small representation is that not one 3-jicido in 'fiva in the Western Territories ia ever reported. A skoleton found in a lonely gulcu or by a ruined cabin often tails the story to tho prcpector or the herder, of a degpair hich could no longer be faced, but the report rarely gets be yond tho country newspapers. The subjsct of su'eide has possessed a strange interest fcr many invostiga tor, but no one has yet been abln to lay down any general law or to prove whv one race or one section of a community fchould be more partial to self destruction than another.

Tramp prin ters, tramp doctors and the plain every i day tramp are not uncommon in these partf, but a tramp lawyer is a more rare specimen. One showed up in A'basy the other day from Indiana, with a certificate of admission to ths bar tc practice in the courts o? that state, who had seemingly once been a well-read lawyer. He was thorough ly indeutified, however, as a specimen of tho genius tramp, and only asked tha legal fraternity there for a quarter to bay him a little "tea" to brace biro against the cold charities of tha world on his way to friends in California. hWiedovJrought j iParcr 88 PER YEAR, Improved Telephony. A telegraph operator in Texas has made what he claims to.be so much of an improvement in tho teisphons that he will be able to use the ocean tele graph cables as telephone lintw, ami by which articulate sounds may be transmitted with about the samo fa cility that telephoning ia carried on over the telephone wires of ordinary distauces., The inventor was led to his discovery through the very siaip'.u -casortipg'that, if machinaryand bat teries of a given power can convoy ths sound of the voice a certain distance, more powerful machinery might trace mit it further. This theory, it is stated, has been confirmed by experi ments made by tne inventor with m larged instruments and machinery tha voice having been conveyed sev erel hundreds cf miles with absolute accuracr. His scheme has been plac ed before one of the great cable totn pauirs, which company, having ex amined the results achieved, has en tered into an agreemsnt for the sola right to use his telephone, and at the same tima gave him carte blanche to continue his cxpeiimcnts. Elec tricians of the higheat standing on both sides of the Atlantic have bsen engaged to watch and assist in the work, which, although it has now boeu going 011 for months, has been conduct ed with the strictest secrecy. It is said that the deductions made from the results of the expeimentel instruments have convinced scientific persons over looking the work that the tiual maebmary will insure conversation betwesu the two hemispheres. The money required for carrying out the undertaking ia being supplied by a millionaire of the world-wide fame, who expresses himself thoroughly con vinced of its practibility. A Chinese Hotel.
