' iff TSSji EiSBB * ADVICE TO SUICIDES. To Follow Aunt MeMtabel's * 'erj Sensible Example. Hostpn Transcript. That , at least , was theoxplanntioi chat sujriresteil itself to the listcnei ns hi' shivored through the.strce's SoiiipIiow tii raw chill brought tf his mind the case of Aunt Mehitabo I "ofHn , who not more than a shorl generation ago lived in a cold oh j house down the cold side of Cap < . Cod , with a houseful of rathpr frigid maiden ladies , her sisters tind nieces Becoming a little unsettled in hei mind , Aunt Mohitabel resolved thai she would battle no longer with ar inclement world. She announced tc the family , one particular ' chill . } mornimr. that she had fully made ur her mind to commit suicido. ' Law's sakes ! " exclaimed hei younger sister Abigail , incredulously : ' 'how do vou think you ' re going tc kill yourself , Mehitabel ? " "The most nat'ral way 'round here , " said Aunt Mehitabel , with a shiver , "is to freeze yourself to death. An' that's the wav " I'm going to dc it. The rest of the family laughed hei to scorn. But when she had made all her preparations to go , and even given away her Paisley shawl and her string of gold beads , their scepti cism turned to alarm. lb began tc look as if she were actually in earnest. The next nightthethermometerwent down almost to zero. Aunt Mehita- ble told them all a wailing good-by at about 9 o'clock in the evening , and went up to the spare room , which was , of course , the coldest room in the house. She put up the window , sat on the sill , and hung her feet out into the icy north wind. There was no man in the household , and no woman strong enough or brave enough to compel Ann I Mehit- able to get back into the room. So the sisters and nieces gathered about , shivering in the intensified cold ol the spare room. By-and-by the suicide began to show signs of uneasiness in her perch at the window. "Wal , " she said , "I guess it's'bout 's easy to freeze to death on the floor as 'tis out here. " She crept back into the room , and crouched down upon the hard floor , moaning and complaininjr. By this time the other women of the house hold had fled back into the passage way , and stood waiting in the dark ness. "Beats all , " they heard Aunt Me hitabel murmur presently , "how hard this 'ere old floor is ! I guess I'll set on the rug. " She moved to the rug , and set up a new series of world-weary lamenta tions ; but afti r she had sat here for some time , and had experienced none of the positive symptoms of freezing to death , she rose and sat down on the foot of the bed. "This damp old bed always was 'nough to freeze anybody , and I guess it'll fetch me , " she exclaimed , "if anything will. " . Presently , almost without her own consciousness , she sank down upon the bed , and then one of her nieces glided into the room and softly cov ered her with a quilt. "Oh. dear ! oh. dear ! " Aunt Mehita bel shrieked. "I'm goin' to sleep , an' that's a sure sijrn that I'm freezing to death. Yes , I'm goin ' ! Good-by to a cold , cruel world good-by , good-by ! " Aunt Mehitabel slept soundly un til morning , and awoke in a irreatly improved mental condition. She did not renew her attempt at suicide , and never made any reference to it as lon < r as she lived. To people who are born to commit suicide , Aunt Mehitabel's method of shuffling off is , perhaps , to be recom mended. Mii ti Ba Sweet but Costly Revenge. Some years ago one of the promi nent banks of thestate failed for many thousands of dollars , says the Indi anapolis News. The crash was pre" sipitated by a "run , " and many peo " pie suffered. A gentleman was talk" ing with a Newa reporter of the fail ure. "There is a story connected with that bank failure that is known to 3ub few persons , and has never been n print , " he said. "In that town , ten years ago , there was a poor boy ivho had patented an invention with ivhichhe expected to make a fortune , * mt he had no means. He called on the president of the bank for help , ) ut was repulsed and told to return to his work and give up such foolish x3ea3. "The young man struggled along br a couple of years before he got lie needed financial assistance. I shink all he wanted was $1,500. "The invention was a success , and nfour years he was worth § 150,000. Ee purchased some of the bank stock enough to be on the inside md made deposits sufficient to be on riendly term s with the officials of the bank. In a few months he discovered that the bank president had loaned argesums of mone } ' on poor security , md that a 'run' would bring about i failure. "Hesold his stock and began check- ng his deposits , claiming he needed ; he money for investments. When he md a small balance on hand he went : o several heavy depositors and told ihernthebank was phaky , and ad vis- id them to get their money. This started the run , and in two hours the junk was closed. " "How much wa3 the balance he left n the bank ? " * "Fifteen thousand flollnra. Tin helo t. but he his told me frequent ! that the$1.1,000 he lost was nothinj to 1 lie trnti.s action he had in seeinj the bank go under , and the wcaUlr president , who had treated bin s < harshly , made penniless. " B-O-i Death and Windmills. A farmer drove up as we wore sit ting on the side porch of the hot4 anil after fastening his horse he cam around to ut > , and began : "Gentlemen , mebby it so happen ! that one of you is a preacher ? " We put in a denial one after an other , and he continued : "Wall , the ra" is this. My hirec man diad vesterd y. He hain't got no friends around here , and he didn't amount to much , bat we've got tc hold some sort o * : t ruaeral over him , Kin ary one of you do any talking ? ' It was finally decided that ar Ohio man , who represented a wind mill manufacturer , should "do tlu right thins : by the late lamented , " and that afternoon the landlord car ried us out to the farmhouse in n wagon. Four or five farmers had assembled , a grave had been du down on some waste land near the railroad , and the coffin was the cheapest affair to be had for the money. It was evident that the de ceased hadn't laid by any cash foi such an occasion. When all was ready for the windmill man he stepped out from his chair and pitched the tune and we joined in singing. Then he said : "My friends , death is a sad thing. It must come to all. Our poor friend here was hardly prepared for death when he took to his bed. He had been carrying water co the stock a long distance , and this exertion pulled him down. Had this farm been supplied with one of our 'None Such' windmills , warranted to pump 150 gallons of water per minute , this man's life might" "Hold on a bit , " interrupted the farmer , as he rose up. "I've got that very windmill on this farm , and it was owing to the blame thing being out of order and then falling down that Jim got his death. This hain't much of a funeral , gentlemen , but what there is of it has scot to be straight. Proceed , brother , and perhaps you'd better skip windmills and get in sunthin' about our loss bein' his gain , the good die youngj death cometh to the high and loWj and so on. " But the windmill man had lost his grip and he led off with the "Doxol- ogy" and closed the business in seven minutes from the start. New- York Sun. Where Potatoes Came From. The potato is a native of Peru. When the Spaniard first visited the west coast of South America they found this esculant cultivated by the natives , although it grew naturally in uncultivated places , wherever a suffi cient degree of moisture enabled the plant to live. Tradition has it that it was on the top of Mount St. Lo renzo , the island in the harbor ol Calloa , where the Spaniard lound the first potatoes , and from whence they took the seed to Europe. When Minister Hicks first saw the wild po tato vine on San Lorenzo he could hardly recognize it. It was about six inches high , with delicate little vines , and a pretty blue blossom scarcely larger than a violet , while the potato on the roots below was no larger than a hazel-nut. From this insignificant plant has been evolved , by cultivation , the numerous family of the potato , which , within 300years , has made its way to every part of the civilized world , and now forms an important item in the world's bill of fare. The minister's American ideas were agooddcal shocked one day when he came upon a company of laborers at work digging potatoes in a field in the valley of the Itimae. A team of oxen plowed up the hills with a light plow , leaving the tubers exposed on the ground. Sixlndian workman picked jpthe potatoes , and carried them to i pile in one corner of the field , while the overseer , a Spaniard , stood watch- ng the work. The men who were pick- ng up the potatoes had neither pail ior bag nor box in which to carry ihem. Two ofthem put the potatoes n their hats , and the others carried : hom in their hands , each one going rom every part of the field to the pile none corner , carrying five or six po- ; atoes each trip. . . - -p.-o-.ei A Cure for Obesity.
