Serve Interesting t''aets and Elgiii0$ He. tiling le ri7f•nr. i u e ion, In all eounLrics suicide is Our more OOmnlou aiming 01009 theft among wo- man, and those who are married are loss, prone to eon -murder than those who are singly. The class of men most liable to kill themselves Is the military, says the London Leader. The partleular form of religion exist- ing in is country seems to affect the number of its suicides, In Protestant States the depths attributable to this pause are largely in mama of those similarly brought about in countries where Roman Catholicism prevails. Suicide, again, is relatively rare among the yews. Cementing the age at which persons appear must likely to destroy them - ;selves, the suicidal tandenoy increases in direct ratio with the age till about the seventieth year, when it begins and continues 1.0 decline. Children under 10 have been known to cum - mit suicide, us also nave persona over 90. The following table throws some curious light on this question of age and suicide: Per. Per Age. million. Age: million 10-15. 4 45-55.. .181 15-20. ' . . . 28 55-611. . . ..281 20-25, . . .47 65-75. . 243 26-35. . . 69 75-85. . 183 95-46, . . ,110 Over 85. . ..116 If asked in which munch we should expect to find the greatest number of suicides most of us would probably reply—in November or December. And certainly it would seem that the dark, depressing days of winter would be more ealoutated to create or to develop a suicidal tendency than the bright and genial summer time. As a matter of fast, however, it is in June, when nature is at her loveli- est that men most frequently kill theannselves. Taking 1,200 suicides, the following table shows the monthly re- turns:— January. e- turns1January. . . . 88July. . . .108 February. . . 80 August. .1u7 March. .101 September. 93 April. . .112 October. . 93 May. ..120 November. .. 87 December. .. 81 Juno. .1'23 0 The means adopted by the poor wretch whereby to end his day varies according to age and sex. Am"ng men hanging is in nearly an eountriee the most common form of suicide— probably because, while being com- paratively quick and peinless,it is the mode most readily accessible of pro- curing death. Among women drowning 1s in some countries more resorted to than hang- ing, but in others, such as Denmark and Belguim, banging seems equally popular with both sexes. As against 281 suicides by women brought about by hanging and 324 by drowning, wo find only one by dire - arms. liven in France, where we are apt to think the ears of the gentle sex are less horrified at the report of a pistol than is the case here, we have it recorded that as against 311 suicides by women attributable to hanging and 423 by drowning, only 10 were due to firearms. • WHISKEY IN YOUR WOOD PILE. Every one has read at one time or another of the extraordinary amount of different things you can get out of a ton of opal. Are you aware an equally varied assortment can be ob- tained from a cord of wood/ A cord of fresh -cut timber weighs on an aver- age about 4,000 pounds, and here is what you can produce from it by the process chemists call 'destructive dis- tillation," Firstly, 2,050 pounds of pyroligneous acid and 700 pounds of charcoal—the acid will produce about nine gallons of 82 per cent. crude wood alcohol, which can by a certain pro- cess be changed into an imitation cheap whiskey—about twenty-five gal- bons of tar, and fully 200 pounds of acetate of Time. These facts indioate a future for wood outside the realm of fuel and pulp. GREATEST THINGS IN THE WORLD.

Mcl1sndry, a gentleman of 52 years of age, has for 28 years been a respected citizen of Fenelon Falls, Ont. For twenty-two years be has held the position of section foreman for the G,T.R., which position he fills to -day, and judging from bis present robust appearance will be capable of doing so for many years to come. During his residence at Fenelon Falls Mr. Mo)Sendry has taken an aattve part in educational matters, being an elfiaient member of the school hoard un different occasions. Many times he has been nominated as councillor, but owing to the position he held with an outside corporation felt it his duty to withdraw, although much against the wishes of the representative rate- payers. As the public well know the duties devolving on a railway section foreman expose ,him to all kinds of inclement weather, and it takes a main with a strong constitution to enemas - fully fill the position. Mr. MoKendry had no illness until about 3 years ago, when, to use his own words, he says; -'1 was taken down with severe rheumatic pains in the right knee and the muscles of the leg. I couldt not sleep or rest night or day. I could not begin to tell you what I suffered. I took many remedies, both internal and external prescribed by doctors and friends, but instead of improving I was steadily going from bad to worse. One day while reading the Presbyter- ian Review I read of a Dura through the use of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, in the case of a man' who had. not been expected to recover and this prompted me to give this medicine a trial. The action in my ease did not seem to be speedy and I was using my fifth, box before easy decided improvement Wes noted, but by the time Ihad used eight boxes I was a thoroughly well man. 5inuothet time my general health has been the very best'.and I have no signs of the old trouble. T make this state- ment tato-ment voluntarily, because 1 think it the duty of those cured to put others an the possession of the means of ob- taining renewed health and I am tsat- isfted Dr. Williams' Pink Pills will do all that is claimed for them if given a trial. These pills Duro not by purging the system as do ordinary medicines, but by enriching the blood and strength- ening the nerves, They cure rheuma- tism, seiatia, l000motor ataxia, para- lysh8, .heart troubles, erysipelas and all forms of wenknese. Ladies will find diem an unrivalled medicine for all ailments peculiar to the sex, restoring health and vigor, and bringing a rosy glow to pale and sallow cheeks.
