The mothtr who kills her children nnd then kills herself does o, It Is claimed, be cause a phv slologlenl law drives her to It. Her offspring are nn organic tKiitlon of herself, and she cittinot take her own life nnd leave them. The same ma terial Instinct which prelects the child while living nIo causes the stllcldo mother to take Its life and thus protect It In death. So ittrotiir Is this bond that pathologists claim that in mnnj cases tne mother prolans on the child to kin Itself.

Another curious fact Is that double suicides among women seldom occur a fact w hlcli probablv goes to prove the much disputed contention that women nie not cnpnble of nnj deep going af fection for e-ich other So, too suicides of mnn and wlfo are exttemelv rare due to the fact, no doubt, that theie nre other remedies for marital tinhapplness, and that Its bliss Is not so transcendent as to make life unequal to It in i ply uitiLV i:n.
