with paralysis of the side of the body
opposite to the seat of the injury.
Yes, it was he for whom physician
had been summoned; he, who in the
hardness of his heart had refused to go
to the poor man; he who was dying.
DR.. Trlfulgas was like a madman.
He felt that the case was hopeless.
The gravity of the symptoms increased
every moment The action of the
heart and respiration were about to
cease. Yet he had not wholly lost the
consciousness of existence.
What should he do? Lessen the
quantity of blood by means of bleed
ing? DR. Trifulgas was a dead man if
he delayed.
Bleeding was still practised at that
time, and, as at the present day, the
doctors cured Of apoplexy all who were
not destined to die of it.
Dr. Trifulgas seized his case of in
struments, took out lancet and cut
the arm of his double The blood did
not flow. He rubbed the chest violent

spite of all that his knowledge could
suggest. died under his hands.
The next morning only corpse was
found in Six-Quatre-the body of DR..
Trifulgas. 1t was inferred with great
pomp in the cemetery of Luktrop after
numerous others which he had sent
there-according to the most approved
formula.
AS to old Hurzof. they say that since
that day he has darted through tho
country with his lighted lantern howl
ing like lost dog.
l can't vouch for the truth Of the
rumor, but so many queer things hap
pen in this land of Volsinia, near the
suburbs of Luktrop.
But. 1 repeat, don't look for this
place on the map. The best geograph-
ers have not yet agreed as to its situa-
ton in latitude. or even in longitude.

LAID BY THE FAsLED ROC.

Important Discovery in Madagascar of tho
Egg OF the Extinct Gigantic Bird.
A large specimen of the egg of the
tabled roc of the Arabian Nights" or
Epyornis, as the extinct gigantic bird
of Madagascar is called, has been Sc
cured by Mr.. j. Proctor, of Tamatave
and Princes square, W., who has
brought the curiosity to London. 1t
was discovered by some natives about
twenty miles to the southwark of st.
Augustine's bay. on the southwest
coast of Madagascar. 1t was floating
on the calm sea, within twenty yards
of the beach, and is supposed to have
been washed away with the foreshore
which consists of sand hills. after a
hurricane in the early part of the year
The childlike longshoreman of the
antipodes, opining that the egg had a
value, showed the unusual piece of
flotsam about with view to sale, and
it thus came into the hands of Mr.
Proctor. The egg, which is whitley
brown in color and unbroken, is fine
specimen, 331Sx2s inches, and an even
higher value is placed upon it than
upon the egg of the great aux, which
lived within the memory of man. The
Brobdignagian proportions of the egg
are better demonstrated by compar-
ison with the eggs of the ostrich and
crocodile. An ostrich's egg is about II
inches by1 Is inches, and the contents Of
six such are only equal to one egg of
the Kpyornis. The measurements of
the egg of the crocodile are normally
Q inches by OF inches. 1t would re-
quire the contents of l6s5 emu's eggs
to equal the contents of this great egg.
or 14S eggs of the homely fowl, or 30,-
900 of the humming bird. The last egg
of the kind disposed of in London sold
for e100, though cracked.

INVITED TO HER SUICIDE.
A Chinese Woman Calls In Her Erisn,
to Witness Her Adieu.

A Chinese Woman Calls In Her Friends
to Witness Her Adseu.
Mr.. Medhurst, for many years British
consul at Shanghai. tells of singular
card of invitation" which. says the
Million, he once received in China It
was from lady. intimating her inten-
ton to commit suicide a: q specified
date She was very young and attrac-
tive. and belonged toa wealthy family;
but the Chinese gentleman to whom
she had been affianced from childhood.
having died just before the date fixed
upon for their nuptials. she gave out
that she deemed it her duty to render
her widowhood irrevocable by diving
with her betrothed. So she sent cards
around to the local gentry giving no
tice of her purpose.
No attempt was made by her rela-
tives or the local authorities to frus-
trate her design, though Mr.. Medhurst
appealed to the mandarins, the gen
eral opinion being that she was about
to perform q meritorious act Eventu-
ally, on the day named. the woman did
deliberately sacrifice her life in the
presence of thousands of spectators.
A stage was erected in the open fields
with a tented frame over it, from which
was suspended a slip Of scarlet crepe
One end of this slip she fastened round
her neck, and then, embracing little
boy presented by one of the bystanders
she mounted chair and resolutely
jumped off, "her little clasped hands
seluting the assem- blage as her body
twirled round with the Tightening
cord''
The woman was not bounded on by
frantic mob. as was the practice al
suttees in India, but immolation ap
peared to be an entirely voluntary act
Sacrifices of this kind. according tc
Mr.. Medhurst, are not uncommon in
certain districts of China, and. strange
to say, they are rewarded with monu
ments, sometimes erected by order ol
the emperor.
