People in china are rot only allowed
to commit suicide, but they even ad-
vertise their determination beforehand,
stating wlen and where they intend to
effect their purpose At least the Foo
chow Herald tells Of young widow
who had promised to hang herself at
certain spot on the 10th Of last
month. rather than yield to the wishes
Of her "inhuman parents" and marry
again. The sacrifice was actually con
summated IN broad daylight. The
girl duly hanged herselfin the pres
ence Of. an assembled crowd Of friends
and admirers The tragic ceremony
was preceded by reception Of visitors
on platform erected for the occasion,
after which the poor young creature
mounted chair, placed the rope
around her slim neck, and biding f.
nal adieu to this unsympathctic world,
launched herself into eternity"

To Our G1RLs.-Now that you are
being courted, you think, of course, it
is all very we'll and that it viii be
nicer when you get married. But it
won't He thinks he's going to keep
or this high pitch of love all the time.
But he won't. He doesn't know him
self and you don't know him. It can't
last. 1t must cool down. When he
sees you as many times day as he
wants to and maybe more, when he
sees your head done up regularly every
morning in curl papers and the bloom
is all off the rye, when your home con-
tains a good deal of wash-tub, cradle
aud cook stove. he won t stand for one
hour in front of the house out in the
cold watching the light in your win
dow. He'll be thinking, rather, of
getting out of the house. Young wo-
man, protect this courtship as long as
you can. Let well-enough alone. A
courtship in hand is worth two mar
riages in the bush. Don't marry till
Christmas after next.--M Y Graphic
