The groit preTahince of self life
taking at . the present day, when
'every paper that falls under the
eye records case$ of suicide, makes
the queiry that. heads this article
one of general. application and in
terest. :A' recent' writer says that
nature reyolts at self-destruction,
even when'life has lost all charms
for its possessor aqd when exist
ence is attended with, naught but
misery. When leas of all that is
dear has driven a soul to the mad
ness of. despair, when a . life if
crime has brought remorse unen
durable, or when the bcxly is
racked with ceaseless torments of
pain, self-wrought destruction
seems sometimes, pardonable and
often almost logical ; but t;iiicide,
wnen atienaea Dy no sucu circum-i,
. J ., , ,
tuauues, c;ui uu.ueurioiu ij uum
ing else than the breaking down of
self-control the act of a madman.
Psychologists' have wrestled with
this problem for ages without com
ing to any'tery full and satisfac
tory ' conclusion as to the real
causes that produce 6uicide. In
some instances physical causes
s'jem to predominate, in others a
diseased brain ' destroys the body
as a caged tiger breaks its prison
bars. Every case is more or less!
isolated; for, being an unnatural !
act, there are no general principles
which govern it. "Often when con
fidently expected it is never found,
and it is' usually discovered where
A IL.Y A.N1
least looked for. Physiologists tell I aroma of the universal crowds of i
?is that life is a constant effort to j tobaivo smokers, in the rooms
preserve a balance between the inhere groceries, provisions and)
forces of the individual within the j meats are exposed for .-ale, would i
body and tho 'external forces and J be more apparent than it n at j
conditions of its en viromerit. When ! present. j
ttns equilibrium i? (iisturoeu lis-
ease results and it is necessarv to
restore it uy unuauai iiu xiim. as i
medicines.' diet, change of habits
or climate, and, if unsuccessful, j
death results. Much more is this !
the case as regards the brain and j
its functions. That organ is ccn
stantly at work whether the body
is at rest or not. In,
some
the
action is sluggish ; the equilibrium
is easily preserved. In others it is
active and more care is necessary,
while in "a few highly developed
organising the conflict is constant
though unp'erceive'd, and often the
B
-
struggle ends suddenly. The over
"wrou?ht brain, instead of yielding
slowly, gives way altogether and
the reaction is proportioned to the
effort that' has been made at resist
ance, just as the ball of a pendu
lum, if held at a distance from the
position of. rest, will swing an equal
distance beyond the cente" when
released. No sane man ever killed
himself, :because aelf-preservation
ie the first law of sanity. No man,
however, is at all times f ane, or
which ii the same thing, mentally
balanced."'' la irtost peiflons the
Variation's are 'small and the bal
ance is easily restored, particularly
ii the giving way has been gradual
and promo efforts are taken for
relief. It'is only when the strain
lias been long and continual, with
out effortpat 'relaxation, that the
consequentfes are serious. Some
times theresulfis complete prostra
tion, often' resulting in (dissolution ;
at others the laws of nature are
completely Yeve'rsetl ! and self-destruction-follows.
Life at a high
mental pressure in any sphere is
dmgerou's. The man who violates
those laws -which pertain to his
material bWdy only is far safer than
he who gives his brain no reet.
Bleep throws the body into -complete
repose, but the brain is still
tnorcor less active. The biain
needs rest and recreation apart
from this, and those who neglect:
is have soon to repent of their in
discretion. The tendency of th.B
ae is to live at too high a j res ure
and we have only our.-elves to
blame for thy results w hicli jo Iow.

taking all the people by etorni, like
the latest Parisian fashion, is to
refrain from partaking of the many
recommended nostrums for it. It
says: "If you get the Uupsian in

call your doctor. Don't take a
prescription from any other source.
A compound recommended hy a

It is Haid that recent researches
no to demonstrate the fact, that
the jHiisonous (jualily in the foul
air of overcrowded rooms, arises
from a poison that is exhaled fro an
human lungs, and is not in reality
carboni;; acid gas as has been
taught by our scientific books upon
that subject. It is perhaps well
enough to be loaded with the
knowledge of the true condition of !
the case, but the main requisite re
mains just as before, and that is
that those who have charge of
public halls, and other places '
where people congregate, should
understand what is the matter
enough to secure good ventilation
and correct the existing evils in
the management of such places.
ISutte, Montana, seems to be
infested with a gang boys who
po-ises an unlimited amount of
cheek and deviltry. They recently
sent to the democratic candidate
for U. S. senator a fetter signed
"Nineteen Cold and Desperate
Men" demanding $400,000 or his
life's blood. No attention would
. .. .. , ,
! have been given the matter had
not the demand been followed up
by a personal application of one of
their number, a youth about 20
yeaisold, for the modest 6iim de
manded. He was placed under
arrest and the detectives placed
upon the track oi the remainder of
the gang.
It is said tnat the inspector of
meats in Paris exposed thin slicps
of beef to tobacco smoke, and then
fed it to a 'dog, resulting in the
death of the poor canine in twenty
minutes. Probably human beings
can stand more than the dog did, I
