d:et as a cause of suicide,

PhytJtma Think lie llu l)icncrrd the Keanon of Self-Ocst ruo' Urn. Dr. Balg is of opinion that lUicJdO , may be traced to error in diet, tho error i l.ninnr not ino1 .if ni.fit t V. .1 ,1 n k i ,i & v lug to. iH.II ui in. tu, luv .ii uiniu of leer gnd Of tea. and the smoking of tobacco. His facts all fall comfortably into their places in support of his hypothesis. Are there not more sui. ide.s among men than among women, and do not men consume more inat, more beer and more tobacco than the women? Again, suicide is more common in England than in Scotland, not apparently hecangf the Scotch in a more caaay race, but because the English cat more meat and drink more beer, while tht Scotch eat lets meat and drink whisky instead of beer. After maintaining that suicide was less common among the Scotch, it was perhaps hardly polite, when addressing a Scotch audience, to go on to say that suicide increased w ith civilisation. But the fact was explained on the ground of more injurious diet, that of civilised man being more productive of uric acid and thus of sojeide than that which prevails where "civilization is less advanced. Uric a. id is. in fact, at the bottom of all this, and, according to Dr. Haig, the incidence of suicide a1lies with the dally, annual and life fluctuations of uric acid in the blood, being commonest when uric acid is most abundant. We have no doubt that errors of diet are responsiblt for much, and, among other things, for a certain number of suicides, nay, we would go further and admit that un suitable diet, derangement of the proper relation between nutrition and waste, and the consistent loading of the tissues and the blood with abnormal products of metabolism, have much to do with that ill temper and discontent which lead men to lay their hands violently, often upon their neighbors, 1 and sometimes on themselves. All this may be taken for granted, but it is at present far from proved that the peccant material is in all eases the same, and still further are we hsott being ngreed that uric acid la the origin of the evil. A PLETHORA OF JACK RABBITS Sol'i Train Loads uf Thru n Weitem Railway. From the Topeka Capital: Solid trains of jack rabbits Will be a novelty in the t rathe of Western railroads during the coaming winter. The trains wiri be made up entirely of refrigerator cars, each of which will contain 0,000 Jack rabbits, thoroughly froren befor being loaded for shipment. The frriht charges from Idaho to the Mississippi river will 1- six cents each, or $HG0 for the car, which is considered a very high tariff, even for refrigerator car service bat as the jacks w ill bring $1.2ä to 1.4Q per doten it is said there will be g good margin for both shippers and commission men. The extraordinary rush of this meat is due to the fact that the state of Idaho is now overrun by countless numbers of jack rabbits, which are multiplying so rapidly that the total destruction of crops in that section Is threatened. In the hope of affording some relief the state legislature passed a law offering a bounty of two cents on each jack rabbit scalp brought in, and the result is that the obnoxious bunnies are being slaughtered in great numbers. A prominent merchant of Pocatello conceived the idea of encouraging the extermination of the pests and shipping the canvasses to Eastern game dealers to be sold. He has concluded arrangements with a St. Louis mau for disposing of the game. Grooming Hores by Klectricity. The electric :urrent Is now applied to operating horse-grooming machinery, less than three minutes being sufficient for going over an animal. Horse-clippers can also be operated by electric power at high speed. FACTS OF REAL INTEREST. The largest wrought-iron pillar is at Delhi, in India. It is 60 feet high, and weighs 17 tons.
