- The 1,409 suicides of last year
- were d_is/ti'fl)tited as follows * March
109 " April 168; May 117 ; June 171;
July 181; Augyst 212 ;September 1-
93f October 144 ; 'l‘_}ovmubcr L 7
Decercher 123 January' 75 ; Febru
ary 82. St v
4:Therg is g wide ‘rouge inithe u
ges of -suieidgs, ‘and'it varies only
slightly from §sar’ to vear. Last
vear the youngest suicide was six
years old and -the oldest 94. The
age at whica the greatest number
of suicides was committed was 50.
The numher was 52. Tt 'is' naticea
ble that after the age of 20 & great
er nuinher of sticides octhifred at
the ages of 25, 20, 35, 40,45, 50 and
s9'on up to 60, than at'any age be
tween thoge ages. IFor ingtance,
the numher at the age of 24 was
21 at the age of 25it was 29; at
she age of 29 it was 8; at the age of
30 it was 55 ; at the age of 34 it was
17, and at the age of ‘35 it was 36.
- “The direct and indirect ciuses of
icitle dre many indeed, and it is
;Eficult to clasify them strictly. Of
last year’s suicides 111 ‘were attrib
ated to bLusiness troubles; 46 to
destitution ; 111 to digsipation ; 170
to family iroubles; 30 to grief; 276
to insditity ;94 to Tove tyoubles; 1-
42 to sicknesd; 216 Ovoll agsassi
nation, and Itoa pimple on the
nose. The ¢compilers of the statis
tics from which we gather these
facts furnish a serieg of brief ac-l
counts illustrating thie causes ofa
number of the suicidés included in
this last ‘year’s list. "An Indiana
girl took her Tife because her sweet
heart tovk” wnother givl onan ox
gursion. The lady who took land
anam and ended hor carcer because
there was an’ irrepressible pimple
on her nose, was ‘a Pennsylvania
school teacher. An Ohio politi
" cian shuffled ¢ff his mortal coi] be
cause his ‘opponent got the most
yotes. A German in New York
: ’ghofigh{; he was Dbewitched, and
sought relics in death. A Missouri
eriminal, who had killed five per
- sons, so deeply regretted that he
~hadn’t killed too more that he con
cluded to follow his vietims. A
Tennesee student died by his own
‘hand because a study of the an
cient authors convinced him that
his life was his own. -
_The attempt made by a noted
(PBERRL wite; to prove that sui
fides arg more numerous among
Sfinmarried than among married
; folks is not sustaiped by last year’s
statistics in this country. We find
that the number of maids was 114,
_of bachelors 891, of wives 162 of
hus bands 501, of widows 82, of wid
pwers 85, of divorced females 6 and
divorced males 3.
" The methods employed to com.
mit ‘suicidos ave various, but a
fe\‘\gp are in great favor. Of last
yeuts suicides 288 died by hang-{
ing. 127 by drowning, 103 hy cut
ting their throats, 14 by jumping
from heights, 324 by poisoning, 446‘
by shooting, 14 by standing ini
front of railroad trains, 1 by inhal
ing fire, 1 by dynamite, and so on‘
through the list. The details con
: ne_ctéd with some of the suicides
are horrible and terrible.
Americans lead to a remarkable
degree in the maatter of nationality
of suicides, According to the sta
tistics of last year of the 1409 per
gons who committed selfemurder
572 were Americans, 18 Africans,
- 123 English, 82 Franch, 309 Ger,
mans, 100 Trish, and 39 Scotch.
The popular jimpression is that
the farmer’s life is the happiest
lives of all lives, an@ quite a large
~ per cent. of those engaged in other
oceupations hope to gpend the eve
“ning of their lives on farms. A
- glance at last year’s figures, how
~evey, show nearly. three times as
_many suicides aviong- farmers as
among people of other occupa
~ tions. The list jpcludes 221 farm
gfg, 87 merchants, 62 lalovers, 41
Saplgonckobporgiil 21 contsverolal
traveleri, 17 lawyers, 8 journaiists
and physicians, There was'no
preachey among the'duicides, o sig
nificant fact well worth consider
ing in psychlogical featurdse.”
‘About three times as ‘Tany men |
as women die by their own band.
Very mearjy that "propbition is
maintained in the figuires we have
been' quoting, Of' miies there were
1,088, .and of females 325, ~
Of list year's 1,469 yietims, 1,007
died in the daytime and 895 during
the night. The States which have
the largest populations of course
contributed the largesi number,
but the most thickly settled por
tions of the country do 16t, as a
general rule, furnfish'the Targest ver
cent. of #uleides in proportion to
the numbér of inhdbitants. There
are fewer guicides'in'the South than
in any other ‘seetion, owing to the
infrequincy of ‘suicides among the
negrod. "The number in Georgia last
year wag 29,—Atlanta Joun¥al.
ABOUT HOMES.
- Home | how gacred is the word.
There is none sweeter, unless it be
that of mother, and these two are
clesely intermingled in the mind
of the one that loves home.
To the wanderer, and the
thought ot home and mother often
serves a “talisman” to guide hisg
feet in the paths ot right, and when
his wanderings are ‘()“,er and he is
once more a member of the “happy
home circle, how his heart throbs
with delight as he listens to all the
incidents that are told, or in turn
relates his own expepience. such a
home is the real Trvr home. There
are many homes that are not much
better than “four square walls,”
where strife “continuvally reigns,
where no kind \vords‘gréct the car,
where no kind hand prepares little
delicazies for a Toving one, where
there are no marks of taste and
refineniént to be seen to make it
more attractive. All, all is cherless
and uninviting. How sad the pict
ure ! yet how true, Would there
were less of them, It then becomes
the mission of these that xNow the
“better . way”’ 10 du well REIT
part to lessen such homes. To cast
a ray of sunshine here and then iu
the midst of such gloom. To flash
u light 'of truth and reagon in the
thick fog ot ignorance mid.l)_rigll_t
en the cheerles hongié of the unfort
‘unate one whose lot is cagt in such
kcomfontless homes,
Surely hqu is a wide field open
for action. Let none hang back for
fear of crowding, for the harvest is
ready and laborers are few.” Let
every one come forward with some
wood suggestion, some good advice
anything and everything that will
tend to build up a higher standard
of homes in our midst. Horhe
should be the one sacred spot on
earth of all others. The place where
the men and women that are to
build up the future of our country
should receive the first principles
of the correct education that is
necessary to the mental and phys
ical development of true man and
‘womanhood. If this is wroNG, no
| AFTERtraining can ever wholly e
radicate the ¢rror The old maxim
usually hollds true that “just as the
twig is Lent the tree’s inclined.”
Ah] how m@gy crooked trees we
find in our journev thyough life.
Let fathers and mothers look well
to the training of their children, so
that when they arrive at man and
wom'anhooil,y and are ready to take
the responsibility of life. they will
be prepared to meet them, and so
perpetrate’ in their own children
the good lessons tanght them by
their parents, Itis only through
*correct home life that we ave to
look for salvatien from the advanc
ing avalanche qof gvil” that 15 swee
ping over our land. Oh, how many
children age born in crime, reared
in cpime, spead their whole lite
surrounded hy an atmosphere of
erime, and die in crime,
Friends, you and I must labor to
lessen guch crimes, Let -the good
work ga on.~—Mrs. A, L. Potter.
