Mr. Medhurst, formany years British consul at Shanghai tells, in the Lon don Million, of a. singular "eard of in vitation" which he once received in - China. It was from a lady, intimating1 her intention to commit suicide on a specified date. . She was very young and attractive,, and belonged to a wealthy family, but the Chinese gen tleman to whom she had been affianced from childhood havinpr died just before the date fixed for their nuptials, she gave out that she deemed it her duty to render her widowhood irrevocable by dying1 with her betrothed. So she sent cards around to the local gentry giving1 notice of her purpose. No at tempt 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 : i I."" .....11.. 4 1. day named, the woman did deliberate ly sacrifice her life in the presence of thousands of spectators. A stage was erected in the open Qelds, with a tent ed frame over it, from which was sus pended a slip of scarlet crepe. One end of this slip she fastened round her neck, and then, embracing a little boy presented by one of the bystanders, she mounted a chair and resolutely jumped off, "her little clasped hands saluting the assemblage as her body twirled round - with the tightening cord." The woman was not hounded on by a fanatic mob, as was the prac tice at suttees in Indio. but immolation appeared to be an entirely voluntary act. Sacrifices of this ltind, according to JYir. jMetinurst, are not uncommon m certain parts of China, and, strange to say, they are rewarded with monu ments sometimes erected by order of the emperor. A NOVEL OCEAN RACE. The Steamers Fire ITp Till the Draft Alone .lct;s in Tons of Coal. In these days of ocean racing the speeding is nearly always done against time, but there wan a battle royal ended a few weeks ago lietween the American steamships Carib Prince and Muriel, says the Cardiff Mail, that would have started the gfooseiiesh of excitement on the most collected of seamen. The Carib Prince left Dem rara on November 17 and jogged " leisurely away on her journey north ward. Three days later the Muriel set sail for Uarbadoes and journeyed in the same, direction. Both vessels were about abreast at this time but sepa rated by a wide patch of ocean. Three -days' later, however, they narrowed we angles of tiieir courses down to " he apex, and when they were in sight ui eacii oilier it was pun cievu pun baker for the lead. Down In their vessels' holds their en trines bann-cd and rattled in countless revolutions, twisting their screws as they were never twisted before, and out of the mouths of their smokestacks v-iJiiHic inky clouds. Neck and neck they cams up the coast,- and every man jack aboard. . in the parlance of the tea, "rooted -hard" for, victory. In the stokehold, recording1 to one ,of the firemen. t,h.y didn't have to shovel in coal they just opened th'e furnace tloors and the draft licked in tons at a time. For seven days they were in sight of each other, and the Muriel, with a magnificent burst of speed, crawled up on her rival and then quick ly ran out of sight. Ten days loss of time on account of ' sickness and a doctor bill to pay, is any thing but pleasant for a man of a family to contemplate, whether he is a laborer, mechanic, merchant or publisher. Jag. O. Jones, publisher of the Leader, Mexia, Texas, was sjck in bed for ten -days with the grip during its prevalence a year or two ago. "Later in the eeaeon he had a second .attack. He eays: "In the latter case. I used Chamberlain's Cough Remedy -with considersible sue- cess, I think, only being in bed a- little over two days. The second attack I am satisfied would have been equally as bad as the first but for the use of the remedy. It should be borne in mind that the grip is much the same as a very severe cold and requires precisely the eame treat ment. When you wish to. cure a cold quickly and effectually give this remedy a trial. 25 and 50 cent bottles for sale by Blakeley & Houghton, druggists.

Balded the Soldiers' Camp Nightly. ."yhen -I was in Yellowstone Park this summer," said a Wyoming Valley -man, "one of the gamekeepers told me about a bear that worried a camp of government soldiers almost' to despera tion for several weeks. Late one night a bear waddled into camp, ripped open a tent, put the soldiers to flight, pot 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 the park rules the soldiers were prohibited from fir ing at the thievish brute, as well as from jabbing a bayonet into him, and the only thing they could do when the bear appeared and went to. helping himself to rations was to get out of his way. Night after night the bold beast made a raid on the camp and ruined a tent or two. My informant said, that the bear acted as if he knew that the soldiers daren't fire at him, and that on each visit he became more saucy and destructive than before. When the bear's raids had become unbeara ble 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 Boldiers put an end to his career by riddlinor him with bullets."
