SUICIDE STATISTICS.
fbildless Marriage a Cause -Rale high
Among Germnnic Nations.
Among 1.0(X),000 suicides of till classes,
it has been found that 205 married men
with children destroyed their lives; 470
married !nen without children; 526
widowers with, and 1,001 widowers
without children.
With respect to the women, 45 mar-
ried women with, and 158 wiltbut,
children, committed suicide, while 101
widows with, and 238 without offspring,
complclal Ilse list.
On the face of things, says the Illus.
tented London News, it would impair
that in childless marriages the number
e,f men suicides is doubled and In women
trebled. Leaving the vaso of aehhnl in-
sane persons out of count, it would also
appear that in mato; suicido is more
fregt.enl than in females.
Equally interesting Is that rhpose of
the subject wltieti deaf with the causes.
One table dealing with 6,782 cases shows
one-seventh caused by misery, one
twenty-first part by loss of fortune, one
forty-third by gambling, one nineteenth
by love affairs, one -ninth by domestic
trouhles, one sixty-sixth by fanaticism,
and by foiled ambition and remorse one-

The ge'ngraphy of suicide is also of
high interest. \asleep says the highest

This is the kernel of an argument by
Charles Ah Schwab, the steel magnate,
in which he dLsposes, in one swoop, of
loth the servant prnbleno and the ques-
tion of the wage earning woman.
"The business world is no place for
a woman," warmly declares Mr.
Schwab, "the domestic life is the only
lito that gives her a chanco to develop
her best.'
In an interview granted tho other
day, the former heed of tate United
Stales Steel Corporation expressed these
erinions.
"Is P. possible for any woman to make
a great financial success? Has she the;
ability, the requisite brain qualities?"

said, with just a twinkle of ann,se-
went in his good-natured brown eyes.

the financial world.
His very presence. which is simple
and unaffected, soeuts to radiate an
ample kindliness and good -will. Ito
seems more the man of the honto than
the man of finance.
"It isn't a question of whether w'o-
tnan has Ike ability to succeed in tho
financial world," he said. "it is simply
that she has greater work to do else-
where. Home is the only place for a
woman. Sho is entirely out of her
su.hero in business and the profusions."
"But suppose conditions s cn pcI

Then it was he made his startling as-
sertion.
