Suicide

The Chinese Consul at San Francisco, at a recent dinner, discussed his country's customs. "There is one custom," said a young girl "that I can't understand and that is the Chinese custom of committing suicide by eating goldleaf. I can't understand how gold -leaf can kill." "The partaker, no doubt," smiled the Consul, "succumbs from a consciousness of inward gilt."
