Dr. Hirsch has said many true things
in his sha.rp criticisms of social habits,
but nothing truer or more pertinent than
his statement in a recent lecture that
“mothers are making young ladies of
little misses; there must he parties- and
dances, and as a result the children soon
have old fa'ces and manners. A child is
entitled, to be a child, and should be
treated as such.” The child that does not

children, is defrauded of its birthright,
and the sense of privation will grow
stronger and stronger as the child grows
older, until there comes a time when it
will bitterly resent its loss and reproach
those who are responsible for it. Such a
child leaves childhood before fairly en-
tering it. That chnd becomes a nuisance,
for it is dissatisfied, with everything.
It would be a better and more whole-
some world if all children were allowed
to have a childhood and were not forced
into the. ways and habits of men. and
men long before they are grown up.
They thereby not only lose the happiest
part of their lives, but they become dis-
satisfied. exacting, exasperatingly self-
conscious, as well as exasperatingly silly
and undisciplined. The parents who teach
their children to ape their elders and do
the things and put on th-, u.ra of men
and women when they shr-r t encourage
them to disport themselves after the
manner of small and healthy animals are
making a mistake for which they
not be thanked by those they are
frauding.

Medical Record.
Mr. Hoffman gives a table in which the
returns for 50 cities have been brought to-
gether, the table showing, first, the aver-
age actual *a,nd relative mortality from
suicide in each of the cities during the, de-
cade 1891-1900, and, second, the actual and
relative mortality from suicide during
1901. 'This table points out that the aver-
age mortality from suicide, during 1891-1900
was equivalent to a rate of 15.7 per 100,000
of population. During the year 1901 the
rate was 16.6, an increase of 0.9 per 100,000
of population. The city in which suicide,
has been of most frequent occurrence dur-
ing the 10-year period is St. Louis, Mo.,
while the rate was lowest in Fall River,
Mass. In the former city the rate was
25.7 per 100,000, aga.inst only 2.9 in the lat-
ter. During the year 190) the suicidal fre-
quency was not exactly the. same as es-
tablished by the 10-year average, but
generally speaking, the cities subject to
an excessive mortality from suicide, main-
tained their respective ratios during suc-
cessive years. Of the 50 cities, 31 show an
increase in the rate, while 19 show a de-
crease, when the year 1901 is compared
with the average for the preceding de-
cade.
Mr. Hoffman is particularly interested
in the suicide question as it relates to the
insurance companies, and gives the mor-
tality from suicide experienced by the
New York Mutual Life from 1843-1885, and
from 1886-1898. During the first period,
ending with 1885, of the deaths from all
causes suicides formed 1.9 per cent, the
percentage having increased during the
second period to 2.4 per cent. In the ag-
gregate there have been 991 suicides
among males during the period under ob-
servation, a,nd the relative increase in the
proportionate mortality has been 26 per
cent. If separate age groups be con-
sidered, it appears that at ages under 45
the proportion of suicides to the total
mortality increase from 2.1 per cent to
3.9 per cent. At ages 45 to 60 the increase
W03 2.4 per cent to 3.2 per cent, while at
60 and over there was a decrease in the
proportionate mortality from 1.0 per cent
to 0.7 per cent. Among females the pro-
portion of suicides was 0.2 per cent of the
deaths of all ages during the first period
under observation. The proportionate
mortality from this cause increased to 0.9
per cent during the period ending with
1S98.

Capt. William Dickinson of the British
stearhship Yucatan has had some interest-
ing and exciting experiences during the
past month. His was the first ship to be
stopped by the blockade at La Guayra.
He was not stopped until he had really
gotten inside the harbor and anchored.
Not knowing anything about the condi-
tions, he was at a loss to understand why
a big searchlight should play on his ves-
sel! from the time he came within range
of the harbor until

see that LaGuayra was full of black men,
as the native Venezuelans were called. He
says that there seemed to be fully 5000 of

At Trinidad he witnessed the capture of
the Venezuelan gunboat Bolivar. His ship
was within a stone’s. throw of the boat
and he witnessed the whole proceeding,
which, however, was without any blood-
sheed. The British ship simply sent word
to theieommander of the Bolivar to have
his men on deck, as he intended to take
charge of the boat. The commander as-
sented and the men were accordingly as-
sembled on deck until sent ashore.
Bolivar was then towed out to sea
Capt. Dickinson saw it no more.
During the day eight war ships arrived
in port, three British, three German, one
Italian and one American. As each would
arrive salutes were fired, and the natives
hearing the firing of so many canons were
wondering what was going to happen next
and were greatly excited.
Capt. Dickinson says that while his ex-
periences caused him some delay, they
were nevertheless very interesting, and he
is glad that it fell to his lot to visit the
Venezuelan ports at this-time.

He Walks Up Two Narrow Flights and
Samples a Variety of Hat
'Trimmings.
New York Tribune.
“It’s a. horse on you,” they told Peter
Pica, only they called him Small Pica, he
being short in stature and they in speech.
Peter is hostler to Black Diamond, a
horse ‘by nature and a draught by occu-
pation. There are other horses—but that
is the Anti-Policy Society’s affair. There
are also other Picas (spelled pikers),
hostlers to- these horses.
“We have heard,” they told Pica, “of
the bull in the china shop.” The bull of
Bashan was the original, we believe. The
china shop .doesn’t matter. But we hear
for the first time of the horse in the ar-
tificial flower shop. Wha.t led to this fell
out in this wise: Peter, as was his wont,
let Black Diamond out of his stall yes-
terday morning, thinking that the horse
would go down the stable runway and
stand beside the truck until harnessing
time came. But there was where Peter
Pica slipped a cog,
chine shop.
Black Diamond
from his stable at
way to No. 497 West Broadway. Enter-
ing the hallway at that number, he
pulled his 900 pounds up two flights of
narrow stairs. “They’re moving a safe,”
said the girls in Rosig Bros.’ artificial
flower factory, at the- end of the two
flights. Just then Black Diamond pushed
the door open, and walked
politely. Bleeding not the.
cries of the girls, he went to
containing their handiwork.
First he sampled a daisy. It was not to
his liking, and he masticated an assort-
ment of roses. These weren’t exactly
what he was looking for, so he nibbled at
a green, refreshing-loo-king lot of grass
•fared leaves. Then he coughed and splut-
tered in disgust, a,nd looked sad. The
girls, becoming courageous, patted him
and gave him cake and sandwiches,
which he found superior to artificial fod-
der. But -tha trucking -business needed'
him, and men who truck it for a living
went after him. They looked at the stairs
and they looked at him. How long, they
asked, -syould^the cake and sandwiches
hold .out? For a time, they were told.
So they' called carpenters, and the men
of hammer and nails built a runway
down those precipitous two flights. Then
they hitched a rope Lo Black-Diamond’s
hind legs, and ,as he went down they paid
it out, sitting back like tug-cf-wa,r men.
“Back to the truck!” said P-’ter Pica.

History of the Capsi Widows Wear—Used
to Cover Bald Heads.
New York News-.
It is most surprising what a number of
little things we do without knowing the
reason.
Why, for instance, do widows . wear

self a pretty cap. And now, though the
necessity of wearing it has passed a.way,
the cap remains.
What is the meaning of the crosses or
Xs on a barrel of beer? They signify de-
grees of quality nowadays. But originally
they were put on by those ancient monks
as a sort of trademark. They were
crosses in those days, and meant a sort
of oath on the cross, sworn by the manu-
facturer, that his barrel

funeral without it would appear un-
Christian. -Yet the reason is quite bar-
barous. Bells were tolled long ago, when
people were being buried! in order to
frighten away the evil spirits who lived
in the air.
Why do fair ladies -break a bottle of
wine on the ship they are christening?
Merely another survival of barbaric cus-
tom. In the days of sacrifice to the gods
it was customary to get some poor vic-
tim when a boat was being launched, and
to cut his throat over the prow, so that
his blood baptized it.
Why are dignitaries deafened by a
salute when they visit a foreign port? It
seems a curious sort of welcome, this fir-
ing off of guns, but it appears the custom
arose in a very reasonable way. Original-
ly, a town or a warship fired off their
guns on the approach of important and
friendly strangers to show that they had
such faith in the visitors’ peaceful inten-
tions they didn't think it necessary to
keep their guns loaded. '

Easton Kept Busy Receiving
the City’s Cash.
The last three days* have been record
breaking ones for the city tax collector.
It wa.s impossible this morning to secure
the exact amount -of money that was
paid in for taxes, but a conservative es-
timate places it at over $35,000. The force
in the collector’s office was busy last
night until after.,8 o’clock giving receipts
to those tax payers who had waited until
the last moment in which to settle with-
out penalties and but a comparatively
small amount of taxes will be turned
over to the city attorney for suit.
Incidentally, only 30 days are, left in
which to pay the poll ta.x as required by
the recent amendment of the constitution
and those who delay this act until the
last minute may find themselves dis-
franchised from participating in the elec-
tion for city commissioners that will be
held in the fall. The city collector will
also begin tomorrow to collect vehicle
tax licenses and in less than- 10 days
those who own vehicles who have not
purchased the required kind of a tag will
have to tell the, recorder of the city of
Galveston -the reason why—unless the
recorder’s court is declared to be without
authority by the court of criminal ap-
peals before that time.
The dog tax ordinance will also be en-
forced with a vengeance and “purp”
owners must waltz promptly to
their pets from sulphur fumes.
