they were happy enough together until a
friend paid them flying visit, and asserted
that the game Of chess served to quicken the
pcrceptive faculties, enlarge the mind, and
render the brain more active. After giving
the subject due thought Mr.. Grattan walked
down town and purchased u chess board,
and when evening came he surprised his
good wife by saying:
"Well, Martha, we'll have game or two.

''Of course not; and if beat you, why
you won't care" she replied
They sat down and he claimed the first

Caught in II swamp.

About fortnight ago a widow named
Avery, about forty-five years old, left her
home, near Salem, Wayne county, Penn,
TO visit brother, living near the Lack
AWAKEN river, in Pike county, Penn. She
was making the trip on foot. While pass
ing through dense piece of woods in the
western part of LackawaXen township, it
being after dark, she lost her way and
wandered into Tlnkwig swamp, short way
to the right of the public highway, where
she became fastened IN the mire. When
she found that she could not eXtrlcate her
self, she called Justify for help, but as no
one lived within some distance her cries
were not heard. Her struggling to free
herself caused her to sink deeper and deeper
in the mire in which she was caught. In
this position she remained for eight days,
with no food except bark from the bushes
which grew within her reach. The water
she drank she dipped from the bog with her
hands. Mrs. Avery's brother, whom she
was ON her way to see, was not aware OF
his sisters intended visit, and no search was
made for the missing woman. A man nam

ship, happened to pass through Iinkwlg
swamp few days ago. He was returning
from Rowland's, few miles distant, to his
home in the western part OF LackawaXen
township, and carried his gun in the hope
of killing some game. AS he was passing
along the edge of the swamp he heard a
peculiar moaning noise. He al first thought
| it was the moaning of cattle that might be
grazing in the woods. He paid no further
attention, and passed on. Soon the same
noise was heard again, this time more dis,
tinctly. He followed in the direction OF
the noise, and was soon in the very heart OF
the swamp. He stopped again to lister
further, when, looking to his right he saw
an object moving, which he found to bt
Mrs. Avery, struggling between life ano
death. He attempted to extricate her, but
failed, and was obliged to walk. some dis
tance for help. After giving notice to the
nearest neighborS he returned, accompanied
by a number of men with wagon. They
finally succeeded in extricating the woman
and she was driven to neighboring house
and medical assistance summoned. Although
Mrs. Avery isyet very weak from the ter
rible ordeal thought which she passed, sh'
will recover. When questioned concerning
her feelings while imprisoned in the mlre
she replied that they were beyond descrip
ton. She had, on the seventh day, givel
up all hope of being rescued alive, but OF
the morning of the eighth day she had
presentiment that help would reach her

London home to the Ladies OF the Chinese
embassy. Only one gentleDlon was present.
This was the Chinese ambassador himself,
who appeared very magnificent in an over
dress of deep yellow brocade. His wife and
sister wore skirts of a red material, with
over dresses and long hanging sleeves of
purplish black brocade. Splendidly en-
broidered between the shoulders. The
sleeves of one was bor6ered with broad
band of magnolia satin, exquisitely en-
broidered with white stocks and silver
leaves; the other had band of pale mauye
satin embroidered with silver and gold.
The hair of both was drawn tightly back
and stiffened with pomatum into q curious
protuberance at the back, edged with beads
and tinsed ornaments. Ornamental pins
and red, violet and yellow flowers, were
worn also. A little child, the son of the
ambassadors sister, wore an over-dress oi
the richest Sevfes blue brocade, iutermin:
