Ch M Q Gi Il and MatrimOny.

Our American girls occasionally com
nit suicide through disappointment at
not getting married, but it will surprise
them to learn that the Chinese young
ladies have such dread of the matri
monial chain that they frequently pre-
fer death to marriage. ''Uf all people, y
said COnfucius, women are the most
di cult to manage. # you are ia
miliar with them they become forward,
and if you keep them at distance they
become discontented So many are the
disabilities of marri d women that many
girls prefer going into Buddhist or
Taouist nunneries, or even committing
suicide, to trusting their future to men
of wuom they can know nothing but
from the interested reports of the go be-
tweens.
Archdeacon Gray, in his work on
China, states that in 1875 eight young
girls, residing near Canton, who had
been anced, drowned themselves in
order to avoid marriage. They clothed
themselves in their est attire. and at
/. o'clock, in the dar ness of the night,
having found themselves together, they
threw themselves into u tributary
stream of the Canton river."

stimui.ats Be.or, BATH :.

h.
Put of all things which | woull earn
estly caution batherS AM swimmers
against is that of taking any stimufant
iefore going into the water. Some of
our wonderful champion swimmers have
Lecome utter wrecks from mistaken
idea that stimulant was necessary to
sustain them in the water. Bad as in
toxicatlng drinks are at any tine, they
seem to possess "a peculiarly bad prop
erty for the swimmer, even though
taken in small quantity. The stimu-
lating ;ect seems almost Instantly
dissipated when one strikes the water,
bringing reactiOnary exhaustion
which, added to the exhaustion induced
Ly ercise in the water, leads TO
danger
And this, in my mind, fully accounts
for the many fatal results which have
followed diving from great heights, |
have never known case where man
has been killed when diving from
great height, but that it has been proved

The Death O. Animals.

But what makes whales come on
shore when they feel ill. 1t LOOKS like
suicide-and may be. That beasts and
birds in the same way go aside from
their comrades to sGffer the extreme
trial of death is a pathetic fact which is
well known. ometimes, no douLt,
their friends desert them. They feel
that the companionship of an enfeebled
individual is possible source of dan
ger or, perhaps instinct teaches them
thus to avoid the risks of infection.
Or, again, it may lie that the sight
of death is intolera lie to them, uSt as
it has cen and is to many human
tribes, who leave their dying to pas
away in solituue, and will not remain
to witness the last inirmity OF man.
Whatever the explanation, the fact re
mains that in the animal world As
rule creatures go away and die by
themselves, and the water-folk commit
what may be called suicide by leaving
their own element for one in which
they cannot live.

Tn Fantee'S Dead.
B s;on Bull in

The Fantee of Africa is religious if
anything. He lives in daily, hourly in
tercourse with departed friends, talks
with them, sings to them, and feels that
they are near him. We never meet an
atheist in Guinea. He may rcvile his
dol images when they do not please
him, but he never di believes the ever
living princip of GOOD as well as the
twin spirits of nyil.
The Fsntee is tound by one tie--that
of family. 10 its members he is ever
kind and generous His cad he buries
under or near his house. that they may
be near him. This custom, no dJnbt,
is relic o, probably the first religion-
