‘BHE EVENING STAR. Life in China, ‘There is a well-known Greek story of a pe niless man who, going Out with a rope in bis band ng himself, found @ purse of money, bich 1educed bim tothrew uerope away, hereas the owner of the purse, comin; look for his property and finding o: rope instead, straightway hanged himself A still more carious of a similar xind is told by the Chima papers. Im the native | of Shangbae the parents of a young iady late- ly married, having fallen into distressed cir- cumstances, applied to her for assistance, and ber husband allowed her to give them a coat iy the for the purpose of being pawned. The daugh- | ver, Bowe being anxious to render farther id without ber Lusbaud’s knowleage, secret- sixteen dollars inthe pocket of the coat, The old man did not discover this, and took | at to & pawuproker, who. noticing the money on unfolding the garment, kept his counsel, and quietly advanced twodoliars. Soou after the husband discovered that his wife had given tbe sixteen dollars to her father, and made so much noise about it that the young lady disposed of herself by hanging. In this way the news of the robbery committed 6: the pawnbroker became known to the parents, and the old mother took the matter so mucirto heart that she poisoned herseif with opiam. Lastly, the pawabroker, getting alarmed on hearing that bis di: honesty had already caused two deaths, drowned himeeif ina well This story is very characteristic of the Chinese feeiings im regard to life, and similar incidents not nafrequentiy occur. years ago, for instance, an accom- pt ‘a young lady at Canton, who had been unfortunately married to a coarse and stapid husband. was bewailing Ber fate to a pagy of sisters ard female cousins, and declared ber intention of committing suicide. On this the other young ladies declared that, since sach Was married life, they would die too, and so the whole bevy of them joined hands together, and wsiking mto a fisn pond, deliberately drowned themselves. Again, three men imprisoned in Hong Kong jail ona charge of piracy determined to make Away with themselves ratner than have the bother of atrisl At some heigh* in the cell where they were imprisoned was a smal! win- dow guarded by two iron bars, and the prob- jem which these worthies bad 'o solve was bow the three of them were to he hanged. upon the twobars. From the positions in which they were found m the morning i would seem that the third man kad asststed the two others im hanging themselves from the bars by their tati=: that then be had cnt down one of them by gpawing through the tail with his teeth: and, wsing the dead body asa stool, to be afterward kicked over, he had contrived to suspend him- self. All this, too, was done se qnietiy as not to Attract the notice of a keRtry whe Was piac- ipg outside beneath the window. A very nsefn! in- tspeneing with box nd weights. bas been introduced into which promises to be generally opted for public And private buildings. On b side of the upper and lower sashes there is @ rack representing a straight cog, which works on & spur wheel in the center of the frame. The whole is held bv a spring lock in the lower part of the frame, and by pressing ligbtly upon that, the sashes can be raised or lowered at pleasure. and to any height. E sash acts as a balance on the other, and by rawing the lewer sash the upper one can be brought down any required distance For purposes of washing or glazing, the windows can be removed from the frame in a miuute, and returned to their proper places in the same space of time. It is as easily applied to oid windows as new ones, and the cost f not ten per cent. of that of weights —Bal!imore Gazette.
