KILLED HERSELF IN PUBLIO.
how a Bereaved Chinese nance Ended
Her Days.
Mr. Medhurst, for many years Brit*
ish consul at Shanghai, tells of a
singular "card of invitation” which
he once received In China. It was
from a lady, intimating her intention
to commit suicide on a specified date.
She was very young and attractive,
“nd^,lon^ed to a wealthy family; but
the.Chinese gentleman to whom she
had been fflanced from childhood hav
ing died just before the date fixed
upon for their nuptials, she gave out
that she deemed it her duty to render
her widowhood irrevocable by dying
with her betrothed. So she sent cards
around to the local gentry giving
notice of her purpose. No attempt
was made by her relatives or the local
authorities to frustrate her design,
though Mr. Medhurst appealed to the
mandarins, the general opinion being
that-she was about to perform a meri
torious act. Eventually, on the day
named, the woman did deliberately
sacrifice her life in the presence of
thousands of spectators. A stage was
erected in the open fields, with a
tented frame over it, from which was
suspended a scarlet bit of crepe. One
end of this crepe she fastened around
her neck, and then, embracing a little
boy presented by one of the bystand
ers, she mounted a chair and resolute
ly jumped off. "Her little clasped
hands saluting the assemblage as her
body twirled around with the tighten
ing cord.” The woman was not
houndedfon by a fanatic mob,' as was,
the practice at suttees in India, but
immolation appeared to be an entire
ly voluntary act Sacrifices of this
kind, according to Mr. Medhurst, are
not uncommon in certain districts of
China, and, stiyinge to say, they are
rewarded with monuments, some
times erected by order of the emperor.
BEST SHARP-SHOOTERS.
Hay Not Blake the Biggest Scores, Bat
Best for Other Reasons.
"It will be a surprise to the public
to know that the best marksmen ore
not all in the sharp-shooters’ teams of
the militia organizations," said Lieu
tenant H. CL Du Val, of the New York
Seventh. “The men who go upon the
teams are better tt^an the best marks
men because they are the ones who
can do their utmost under the strain
of shooting in matches
“There are fellows in nearly every
regiment who can give large odds to
the men in their teamB, but they break
up and go to pieces when they know
that they are shooting in a match for
the credit and standing of their reg
iments. The men who get on the teams
are the stolid, imperturbable,-steady
chaps who can be relied upon to not get
rattled when everything depends upon
their doing their best.
“They have either got no nerves at
all or else their nerves are of steel,
and though they may not make such
scores as some nervous, slightly-built
fellows, they are excellent shots, and
what they are able to do they never
fail to do. They are often fellows of
big build and good, round girth.
“The best team in this country last
year looked like a rather dull lot of
workmen out of a factory, but dyna
mite could not disturb their gelf
possession. ”
HAD TO CLIMB A TREE.
The Pastor Blade the Woodchuck Do
an Unusual Thing.
Men who have hunted woodehuoks
know that they never climb trees.
That is, it is not ’their nature to do
so, and no one familiar with their
habits would believe that one
ever did unless he saw it himself. The
pastor of a little Baptist church in
Kentucky knew this characteristic of
the animal, and on it based a story.
The congregation was in debt 9400 for
its new church, and one Sunday was
set for making an appeal for subscrip
tions. In the course of his exhorta
tion that the members of his floek be
liberal, the minister said:
“This congregation is like a wood
chuck a man once told me about He
was hunting the woodchuck with
dogs, he said, and they pressed it so
closely that it finally climbed a tree.
“ ‘But,’ I said to my friend, ‘wood
chucks can’t climb trees, and you
know it.’
‘“This woodchuck had to climb a
tree,’ replied my friend, and that’s
the way it is with this congregation.
You say you can’t raise $400, but
you’ve got to do it. ”
The congregation saw the point, and
$350 was raised on the spot, and the
rest was secured that week.
The Microbe That Ceases Baldness.
Dr. Saymonne has made for himself
an undying fame hy discovering and
naming the parasite that causes bald
ness in the human species and loss of
fur and hair in the lower animals.
He calls the creature “bacillus carniv
orax,” a name which, suggests that it
is in some way related to the St
Louis Republic’s “cannibal microbe.”
The man who discovers an extermin
ator for “carnivorax” will deserve
more fame than the learned M. D.
who has discovered and named the
creature. __
Walls on tha Moon.
Late photographs of the moon de
veloped by the astronomer-photog
rapher of the Pesth academy exhibit
some unaccountable pecularlties. The
plate shows hundreds of walls or em
bankments seemingly about 200 feet
high and from 125 to 200 yards in
width on top. They run parallel to
each other and appear to be from 1,000
to 1,300 yards apart.
Watches.
A watch is usually composed of 9S
pieces, and its manufacture embraces
over 2,000 distinct operations. Some
of its screws are so small as to be im
perceptible to the unaided eye, and
the slit in the heads of the screws is
2-1000ths of an Inch in width.
A JAILER'S EXPEDIENT.
H« Rad Made Alluring Promises to Oat
*h« Fnaonar lu Bit Cell.
The jailer of Helena, Mont., haa to
resort to all sorts of expedients at
times to get Inebriated prisoners to
go quietly into the oell room. Of
I course when a prisoner is helpless he
is carried in; but often he is only half
drunk, be is quarrelsome or very par
ticular, and as it is not desired to usd
force to- get such a one behind the
bars, he is led Into the cell room much
as a child is coaxed to bed. Not long
ago one of these superaensltive gen
tlemen was brought in hardly able to
stand Ufx After he had been booked
he was invited into the jail room. In
stead of accepting he’ sat down and
declared his Unalterable determine-'
tion not to go into the Jug. He was
assured he would have a good bed.
He acknowledged that was/so, but be
said he objected to -the character of
the meals Berved.
“Why,” said the jailer, “you are
mistaken. In this jail we give the
prisoners some things just as good as
they give the boarders at the Hotel
Helena.
On this assurance the prisoner went
into the jail proper. Just as the door
was being closed he called out to the
jailer:
“Say, what's that yog give same as
Hotel Helena?”
“Salt;" said the jailer, as he slam
med the door to and locked it
n---—
’ BRUIN WAS KNOWING.
Ag#in»t Order* to,Shoot, ao He Bolded
the Soldier** Camp Nightly.
“When I was in the Yellowstone
park last sumtner,” said a Wyoming
valley man, “one of the game-keepers
told me about a bear that worried a
camp of government soldiers almost
to desperation for several weeks. Late
one night a bear waddled into camp,
ripped open a tent, put the soldiers to
flight, got what he wanted to eat and
went away. The next night the bear
came around again, smashed down a
tent and stole a smoked ham.
“Under tho park rules the soldiers
were prohibited from firing at the
thievish brute, as well as from jab
bing a bayonet into him, and the only
thihg they could do when the bear ap
peared and went to helping himself to
the rations was to get out of his way.
Night after night the boid beast made
a raid on the camp and mined a tent
or two. My informant said that the
bear acted as if he know that the sol
diers daren't fire at him, and that on
each visit he became more sauoy and
destructive than before.
"When tho bear’s raids had become
unbearable the commandant sent the
facts to the secretary of the interior
and asked what to do. Word came
back to shoot the bear, and that night
when bruin strode boldly into camp,
the soldiers pnt an end to his career
by riddling him with bullets."
Helped Steal Hie Own Hog*
A farmer living near Perth, Ala,
helped steal his own hog the other
night Ho was awakened from fyis
sleep in the middle of the night and
asked by two men to assist them in
loading a hog which had tumbled out
of the crate in their wagon. He wil
lingly gave a helping hand, and then
returned to quiet slumbera The next
morning he went to feed his porker,
but there was no porker to feed. It
then dawned upon him that he had
helped load bis own hog in the Wagon.
the night before.
Black ami Yellow. *
On a festive occasion, Mr. Jones,
who is by nature courtesy itself, com
plimented a middle-aged lady upon
her dress, the upper part of which
was of black lace. “Nothing,” said
he, “to my mind is so becoming as
black and yellow.” •‘Yellow!” she
cried; “oh, good gracionsl That’s not
my dress; that’s me!”
