Last Saturday night the Chinawoman
who was mistress of "Tho Little VIII
lard" bagnio, was brutally murdered
by one, Jim Lee, who worked In the
laundry Of the Willard Hotel. IL APP
pears from evidence gather ed by the
authorities that jim wanted money to
pay bis way 10 Chins, and that he was
terribly jealous because the Celestial
Susie had transferred her smiles TO some
other moon-eyed Adonis. IL was q
premeditated and cold-blooded murder,
conceived and executed in true Chinese
style. Jim had told several Of his
friends the day before that he "was
going TO kill Susie" All day Satur-
day he sat around sullen and silent,
watching his intended victim, until
about half past six when he followed
her into tho bedroom and began his
murderous work by shooting the wo.
man four times, once in the breast, once
in the abdome=, aud onco in each arm.
After the second shot was ired, Bertha
Able,a depraved white prostitute Of the
lowest type, who has been living and
asSociAting with tho Chiuesc, rushed
into the room and attempted TO assist
the wounded woman, but the murderer
thrust the revolver in her face and told
her TO 60 away or he would kill her.
The wretched creature then started for
help, when the other two shots wore
dred and tho brute went into the kitch-
en-, the woman staggering after him,
when he picked up an AZ and struck

PoPULAR SCIENCE.

Liquid obtained by condensing the
vaPsrs from a bread oven contained 10
per cent by volume of alcohol, 0,06 per
cent by weight of acetic acid, and a
small quantity of fsrric acetate and of
ammonia. Alcohol is, therefore, ac-
cording to Moussette, one of the pro-
ducts of the fermentation of the bread.
The Lancet thinks there is danger of
breathing sewer gas from barber's
bains when being shampoosd. The
danger is more likely to pass unobserv-
cd because Of the various odoTs which
scent ths place aud which mask the
deadly emanatiens. It is well to bear
this in mind, and asks the barber if his
traps are in good order, so that the
bacteria or germs of disease may not be
inhaled from the unguarded waste-pipe.
From the program of arrangements
now settled for the international fores-
try exhibition to be held next year at
Edinburgh, Scotland, the actual result
is likely to prove of great practical and
scientific value. The exhibition will
cover a wide field. Practical forestry
will include huts, implements, models
of machines for moving trees by land
and water, and woodworking maehin-
cry of every description. Scientific
forestry will deal with the botany Of
the forests, for entomology, preserva-
tive processes and similar subjects,
Growing specimens of rare and orna-
mental plants, rustic work and dried
ornamental objects of vegetarian
origin viii be in view.

No other complaints are so insidious in their
attack as those affecting the throat and lungs:
none so trifed with by the maiority OF suffer-
ers. The ordinary cough or cold. resulting
perhaps from . triaing or unconscious ca
posure, is often but the beginning Of fatal
sickness. AYERS CHERRY PEcToRAL has
well proven its efficacy in a sorty years fight
with throat and lung diseases, and should be
taken in all cases without delay.

POPPING the Question.

The custom which reserves the right
of proposing to the stronger sex is not
so universal as many suppose. An lsra-
elitish widow had by law power OF
claiming in marriage the brother OF her
deceased husband, in which case, as the
privilege of the male was transferred to
the female, that of the female was like
wise transferred to the male. He had
the power of refusing; the refusal, how
ever. was attended with some notifying
circumstances the woman whom he
had thus sighted was to come unto him
| in the august presence OF the elders OF
the CITY. and to loose the shoe from his
foot and spit in his face. A custom
somewhat similar to this remains at
present among the Indian tribes. When
the wife dies the husband is obliged to
marry the sister, or in her stead the wo--
man whom the family of the deceased
wife shall choose for him.
In the state of New Granada the right
of asking is promiscuously exercised by
both sexes, who, when they feel the
passion of love, declare it without the
least embarrassment; and among the
Cossacks the same thing is said to be
carried on still further, and the women
more generally court than the men.
When a young lady falls in love with a
man, she is not the least ashamed to go to
his fathers house and reveal her passion
in the most pathetic manner, and prom
ises submissive obedience if he will ac-
cept her for wife. Should the man
pretend any excuse, she tells him she
is'resolved never to go out OF the house
till he gives his consent; and according
ly takes up her lodging there. If he
refuses her, his case becomes
exceedingly distressing; the church is
on her side, and to turn her
out would provoke all kindred to revenge
her honor; SO he yields or flies.
AS the two sexes in Greece had but
little intercourse with each other, and
a lover was seldom favored with an OPP
portunitv of telling his passion to his
mistress. he used to deck the door of the
