RATHER DIE THAN WE'D.

Ten Chinese Maiden suicide to Save One
from Marriage.
The Shih Pae contains the following
story, translated from the Chinese Times:
'There is a prevailing custom in a district
called ShenR-teh, i'm Canton province,
among female society to form different
kinds Of s~isterhoods, such as All Pure
s~isterhoods, 'Never-to-be-married' sister
hoods, etc. Each sisterhood consists OF
about ten young maidens who swear vows
to Heaven never to get married, as they
regard marriage as something horrid, be-
lieving that their married life would be
miserable and unholy, and their parents
fail to prevail upon them TO yield. A sad
ease has just happened; a band Of young
maidens ended their existence in
this. world by drowning in the Dragon
river, because n of them was
forced by her parents to be married. She
was engaged in her childhood before she
had made all the necessary arrangements
for her marriage she reported the affair
to the other members of her sisterhood,
who at once agreed to die for her cause II
she remained constant to her sworn VOWS
To he single n virtuous. Should she
violate the laws of the sisterhood and
yield to her parents her life was to be
made most unpleasant by the other men,
beers, and she be tainted as q worthless
being. She consulted with them the best
mode of escaping this marriage, and they
all agreed to die with her, IL she could
plan TO run away from her parents on the
night of the marriage. As there were
many friends To watch her ovems il
was almost impossible for her to escape,
so she attempted her life by swallowing a
gold ring, but any serious consequences
that might have resulted was prevented
by the administration of a powerful
emetic. She was finally forced and made
over to the male side to her great grief.
According to the usual CUSTOM, sne was
allowed To return to her parents. During
all this time she was planning a way TO
escape to her sisters. By bribing the fe-
male servants she was taken n night to
her sisters under the cover of darkness.
The sisters at once joined with her to ter
inmate their lives by jumping into the
Dragon river with its swift currents,
which rapidly carried them OH. This
kind of tragedy is not i'm this
part of the land. The officials nave from
time to time e~ndeavored to check the for
nation of such sisterhoods, but all their
efforts are in vain. They must rave rea-
sons of their own for establishing such
societies. Married life must have been
proved by many in hat region to have
been not altogether too sweet. However,
such wholesale suicide must be prevented
by law IL the parents have no control over
their daughters.

Young Japanese girls are as nature
made them, and very sweet they are. too,
i'm their quaint dresses, showing their
plump chest and rounded arms. Pages
could be written about their charms.
What dear, dainty little dolls they are
Sach white teeth, rosy lips, coy smiles!
Who shall describe them? And what
next? a kiss, perhaps? Not over here,
oh, revert! They never do. They don't
know how actually don't know how, and
ever peasant girls are closely guarded.
Fancy a young man in cotton kimono
and wooden clogs stealing a chance walk
with his best girl under the blooming
cherry trees, explaining the constellation
and quoting sentimental poetry, telling
her that he chung upon her eyelids," that
''her voice was like q temple gong" in
fact, that he loved but her alone, and
then making her several formal bows nj
the door of her fathers straw-thatched
hut as they parted in h moonlight. Can
an American lover stretch his imagina.
ton enough to believe In a sweetheart not
kissing those pretty lips, paint and all, by
a sort of "natural selection ;"
IT'S n melancholy fact, but a Japanese
has no such impulse. No lover courts his
mistress with ~"sweetest, persuasive
kisses.' No mother kisses her baby as she
cuddles il against her bosom.

IL Was Nnt His Pictnre.

There is a painting hanging in one of the
rooms of the District Building which rep
resents gentleman dressed in the fashion
of colonial days, with rufiied frill and
powdered, ribbon-fastened peruke. No
one seems to know exactly who it is or
where the picture came from.
This morning, a short time after 10
o'clock, an old gentleman stood before the
work of art and scrutinized it with criti-
cal eye. He shifted his glasses off and on
a nose that was crimson and dubious with
the bloom of the rye. The stranger reached
up and passed his hand over the canvass
and felt, with evident Disappointment, the
ridges of paint. Drawing long sigh of
regret, he exclaimed to a group of clerks
who stood regarding him curiously:
"Gennemen, my son Davy, who was in
Washington a few days ago, made visit

The changes proposed by the Washing :

that this three-block line may be excepted

Grand Army Hall.
"There are various opinions which have
led TO considerable discussion said Mrs.
S. II. Lake, the spiritualistic medium, last
night at Grand Army Hall, ''in regard to
my subject 'Reincarnation' reason
ablencss or otherwise-or in other words
enhancement"
~ must, in order to do my subject and
my audience Justice she said, "respond
to the emotions that move me while ! am
in the spiritual atmosphere. II is only
through the possibility of assimilating
thought that we can gather in those ideas
which connect the material with the
spiritual. Reincarnation is merely q vi
bration from material to spiritual things.
81 will say, in answer to one of the
questions sent me, there Is no language in
the realm of space. ReincarnatiOn is only
another word for re-embodiment, and the
physical sciences can only be explained
through the laws of rencarnation. Put
into external operation what you have
learned-such is rcincarnation Reincar-
nation Is the generating power OF the
81 irt People are troubled too much about
Il cir bodies. The spirit is the thing which
they should have under consideration.
"The spirit land has never been laid out
upon map. No one knows its dimen-
sions. Death is but the vibration of the
body to a higher plane--from material to
immaterial space. In answer to another
question Will say that there are some un-
happy spirits. 1t is on account of their
not having vibrated into the sphere of re-
incarnation"
Mrs. Lake then went inte trance and
went through an exemplification of what
she calls "Psychometry." 1t is the telling
by handkerchiefs and gloves, placed by
persons in the audience upon the rostrum,
what emotions they are or have been
experiencing, what Is passing through
their minds, whether feelings of sorrow or
feelings of joy, etc. Mrs. Lake was very
successful in this effort, judging by the
responses made by the parties whom she
interrogated.
