SUICIDES CHOOSE MONDAYS.

A WELL-KNOWN sociologist, who has been compiling the data of suicide, finds that Monday is the favorite day for committing this act. Saturday is the day the fewest suicides take place. Monday is the day when the majority of people take up their troubles again after a day of feasting.
No doubt the heavy, indigestible Sunday dinner, combined with inactivity, is responsible for much of this. “Abundance of idleness, and fulness of bread,” make an unfortunate combination. The rest day, designed to be a blessing to mankind, has been made a day of feasting and gluttony, and, as a result, has become a curse to many.—Australasian Good Health.
