AUNT ANNIE AND THE BURGLAR.

Strange Suicides.

J Samson, who peritoad amid the ruins; which crushed out tlie lives of his nerse-' ctitoiu, Is the first belf-mnyderter of Holy; Writ. Saul fell upon hit sword in afe last arid lost battle, and the horrid details of -Hazis’ suicide live witii evefj'reider of the Scriptures. Among the Greeks 'suicide was common, though usually resorted to for worthier purposes than lead to it to-day. Lycurgus, the fmaer of the famous Spartan laws, in order to secure their observance made his people promise to keep them inaiulate “ till his • retuiw,**’ and then withdrew to Delphi, after a consultation With the oracle he starved himself to death, thus enforcing the perpetual observanceoftoe National promise. Suicide was so common in ancient Rome as to be called ‘ “ the' Roman death. ’ ’ Pliny and Gicero Were advnbates of selfmurder. Brutus, after the battle of Philippi, called on liiff favorite slave to kill him, and the faithful se#vitor ( ' tu avoid the act, slew himself, leavpig Jus master to plunge his oWri ‘ sword into his vitals. Cassius was beheaded 1 at his own desire by his special freedman, and Luflan, whose poetry lives to-day,/ opened’ the veins in his arms and bled, to’ death ~ r * But by far the most famous suicides of ancient times were those of A rithonv and Cleopatra. After his fatal conflicts with Csesar, the unfortunate lover of the Egyptian Queen called on his attendant, Iwos, to dispatch him.' The loying slave refused, and at last, uhable to withstand the entreaties qf his,master, stabbed himself./ Tlie despairing Roman, thus left to himself, seized the blade still reeking With his servant’s Use, amj pl wed it into him Own boWels. He was found in this condi-. tion by Diomedee, thCcliief Buriufch of thri' Queen, and conveyed to her where he died witii .his paling fade pillowed on her dusky bosom and nis ebbing life defiling hen purple robe. A' tew days lajer, and when hep application to ,C«e»arl had prosed unavailing. Cleopatra sat down jto what was to be the last of Her many’ rbyal feasts. Th,e taple was stilLAgiow with the regal banquet when the Queen Jay stiff and dead, with the fatal serpbrit 1 sflll coiled upon her eo!d*-breast. A fit ’companion-picture to this roysfl' ftk>Hetet is thai'of Sardanapalus roasting amid his imperial jewels and amoughis concubines bn a fhrieral pyre Of‘sandal-wood and precious gems. In spite of the prevalence among the ancients, thelaws were stringent, and the practice pf sglfr' ddsttudtiori’was considered a iiepiotis crime. It has been reserved for mote modern times, however, to afford the historian of self-murder real subjects for his pen, and. the number on the list of suicides pas pein steadily on the increase since tlfe‘ beglm ning of the Christian era. ; ‘ „ It is a noteworthy fact thht tlie proportion of male to female suicides has becri’ rind is about three to' -one, * and that wlii 1 c among the females, taiaWfSd WtinfelPttiir widows seek the last resort tritwe frequently than single ones, tlie score of Unniarriedmate suicides predominates.
