A wood-Duck.s Tomb.

At the farm of G. w. Hutchins, seven
miles from Marysville, a bee tree was
found near the east bank of Feather
river, which was cut to obtain the
honey. After the tree was cut down
to the ground an investigation
was instituted and the honey
located in n hollow halfway be
tween where it was cut and the top.
On cutting open the body of the tree
they secured about eighty pounds of
honey, eleven duck eggs and a dead
duck. 1t appears that wood-duck had
formed cavity through a hole that
was originally large enough to admit
her body. After laying eleven eggs
she had commenced setting TO hatch
them and while doing so the bees had
filled the hole with comb, so that she
could not get out and she died on the
nest Red Bluff Cali Democrat.

A Masher Who Could Not stand q Girl
with n Sketch Book.
Three decidedly attractive girls got
on Sixth avenue elevated train and
Immediately a score of masculine eyes
were leveled mt them, says the New
York Advertiser The girls found seats
together and tried to appear uncon-
cerned and quite oblivious to the pro-
nounced advances for q Irritation from
two young swells who sat opposite.
But all their efforts to appear at ease
were unavailing. The young men per-
sisted and the girls blushed and looked
uncomfortable.
Finally one of the girls opened =
small sketch book on her lap. and then
raising her eyes she gazed straight at
her admirer opposite. He petted his
mustache and smiled. She made few
strokes with her pencil in the sketch
book, but did not smile. When she
raised her eyes again he realized that
she was sketching him. The other two
girls watched the progress of the
sketch and giggled. This, with the
smiles of the other passengers. was
more than the subject of the sketch
could endure. He crossed and re-
crossed his legs, pulled his hat down
until it touched his nose, and at last
rushed desperately into the next car.
When he had gone the girls closed the
unsoiled pages of the sketch book and
laughingly threw away the bit of PEN
Gil, which, when picked up by another,
proved to be quite devoid of lead.

A Strange sight.

One of the most amusing spectacles
of the Columbian exposition was seen
in front of the California building on
the day of the state celebration. A
free distribution of fruit had been
widely advertised. and carloads Of
fruit had been sent--great luscious
peaches, plums, pears, nectarines and
half-yard punches of white Muscat
grapes and flaming Tokays- Great
booths were erected outside the build
ing, and dozen fine young California
men, her best products, handed out
fruit to n vociferous, struggling, eager
crowd for seven long hours. 1t was q
sight to be remembered. Sometimes
the air was full of the larger fruits,
which were tossed out among the
crowd and promptly caught, but the
punches of grapes had to be treated
more tenderly. Hats, hands and bas-
kets reached out for the generous
punches, and hundreds came away
bearing their well-fought-fcr burden
to share with friends. On this occasion
many had come from distant parts of
the grounds

Crime and immortality.

The international pickpocket art Is,
in Europe at least. almost entirely car
ried on by Roumanians, Servians, Bull
garians, Russians and Galicians. They
outrank in cleverness by far the once
world-famous English and American
professionals in that line. The in
crease in all civilized lands of crimes
against morality, religion, public peace
and the government is mostly due to
the socialistic wave which permeates
all classes While crimes and GRIM
inals will always exist rs long MS the
world lasts, the next few centuries in
their onward march of education and
civilization will bring about marked
decrease, and the criminal statistics
and annals of the present time will
read like fables to the people of that
remote future.

a Chinese Woman Calls In Her rrisnAs

Mr.. Medhurst, for many years British
consul at Shanghai, tells OF singular
card of invitation" which, says the
Million, he once received in China. II
was from lady. intimating her inten-
ton to commit suicide at specified
date She was very young and attrac-
tive, and belonged toa wealthy family;
but the Chinese gentleman 10 whom
she had been affianced from childhood,
having died just before the date fxed
upon for their nuptials. she gave out
that she deemed it her duty to render
her widowhood irrevocable by dying
with her betrothed. So she sent cards
around to the local gentry giving mo-
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 gem
eral opinion being that she was about
to perform a 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 tented frame over it, from which
was suspended 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 resoluteiy
jumped off, "her little clasped hands
saluting the assemblage as her body
twirled round with the tightening
cord"
The woman was not bounded ON by
frantic mob, as was the practice at
suttees in India. but immolation ap-
peared to be an entirely voluntary act
Sacrifices of this kind, according to
Mr.. Medhurst, are not uncommon in
certain districts of China, and, strange
to say, they are rewarded with monu-
ments, sometimes erected by order of
the emperor.

He tore himself from her as he spoke,
and, flinging himself upon his horse,
galloped furiously away, never even
looking round, as though afraid that
his resolution might fail him if he took
one glance at what he was leaving.
She stood at the gate, gazing after
him until he vanished from her sight.
Then she walked back into the house,
