A WOMAN'S DARING ATTEMPT,
Airs. lstisiYopre Fain, Wort to peach Lha>isa,
the 'Forbidden City.
The most adventuresome lady traveller of
the past year is Miss Isabella Bird, who is
known to her personal friends as Mrs.
Bishop. Site has just returned to England
from a difficult and. dangerous journey,
which she undertook to carry t a.curious
bequest in her late husband's will, Mr.
Bishop left a large sum of money to secure
the establishment of a hospital "in one of
the remote corners of the earth,." This gave
his window a wide latitude with reference
to the location of the hospital. She wished
to found it in oue of the outlying parte of
civilization where the need of such an ipsti-
tution was severely felt. She finally select•
ed Cashmere, and .vent there to see to the
building of the institution.
Coming home alta did Pot wish to follow
the prosaic route through India, but alto
thought she would try to perform a feat
which no white man has been able to ao•
eomplieh since the days of the Hue and Cabot
In fact she had no less an ambition that to
vhent T,hassa, the capital of Thibet. The
novelity and ditliculty of the attempt fascin-
ated her. Everybody told her the gould not
possibly succeed, but she saw no reason for
believing that a woman would fail to achieve
what men were unable to accomplish.
As everybody expected, she Was not able
to earry out the daring enterprise, though
alae advanced, a ahert distance into Tbibet.
In reference to her next, however, the
Thibetana based their objections to her
Waiting lehassa upon ether grounds than
those un white theyprohibit, the advanee
of white travellers. \Fiien a. white tuna
cornea too near the holy city of the Budhists,
he is simply told to make off er it will be
the worse for him, Mr. Bishop, however,
in answer to her requesta for permission to
advance, was told that certainly she might
go to Lhasa and not a hand would be
raised to prevent her, but it was added that
the chief official of every village through
which, the passed would certainly lose hit
geed for permitting her to advance, and
that every district that received her would
be heavily fined for doing so. A tender-
hearted woman was not likely to involve
the Thlbetans in such terrible trouble as this
merely that alio might gratify her curiosity
and gaso upon the domes of the sacred city.
Sho, therefore, retraced her steps, and
passed through Beloochistan. to Persia and
Armenia, meeting many adventures on the
way, and winning a little reputation as an
explorer, for she was the first European in
modern tunes to visit the sources of the
Karim River, the scenery along which, she
says, is nhagthificont.
Ten
Reasons
Forth° Wonderful Success
of Hood's Sarsaparilla,
the Most Popular and
Most Extensively Sold
Medicine in America.
1 Hood's Sarsaparilla possesses great
medicinal merit, which it positively
demonstrates when fairly tried.
2 It is most economical, being the
only medicine of which " Ioo
Doses One Dollar" can truly be said.
43 It is tprepared by a Combination,
to Proportion and Process Peculiar to
Itself, unknown to other preparations,
and by which all the medicinal value of
the various ingredients is secured.
It effects remarkable cures where
other medicines have utterly failed
to do any good whatever.
5 It is a modern medicine, originated
by experienced pharmacists, and
still carefully prepared under their per-
sonal supervision.
6 It is clean, clear and beautiful in
appearance, pleasant to take, and
always of equal strength.
7 It has proven itself to be positively
the best remedy for scrofula and all
blood disorders, and the best tonic for
that tired feeling, loss of appetite and
general debility.
p It is unequalled for curing dyspepsia,
'I8 sick headache, biliousness, catarrh,
rheumatism and all diseases of the kid-
neys and liver•
9 It has a good name at home, there
being more of Hood's Sarsaparilla
sold in Lowell, Mass, where it is made,
than of all other sarsaparillas and blood
purifiers combined.
I Its advertising is unique, original,
honest,and thoroughly g y backed up
by the medicine itself. _
A Point for You.
If you want 'a blood purifier or
strengthening medicine, you should get
the best. Ask for Hood's Sarsaparilla,
and insist upon having it. Do not let
any argument or Rersuaeion influence
you to buy what you do not want. Be
sure to get the ideal medicine,

A young mean named William Hall at-

know appears that she did not reciprocate
his attentions, and a week ago she wrote
him a letter expressing her determination to
put an end to the acquaintance. Hall met
her on Sunday evening, and they walked to-
gether to her home. Suddenly three shots
were heard, and Miss Edge staggered to the
door bleeding from a wound m the face.
She stated that Hall asked her whether she
meant what she said in her letter. She an-
swered that she did, and didn't want any-
thing more to do with hien. Ho then drew
a revolver and fired at her, and ran away.
Later in the evening he gave himself up to
Sergeant Higgins, and was on Monday morn-

About Some Weddi rg Eelcrging$.
Somebody is going to get married to the
man she loves. I wish the dear little some-
body all the happiness possible, and I con-
gratulate the man she loves on gaining her.
This somebody wants to know what she shall
fi et for her wedding belongings, and by them
she means what kind of linen and how much.
Funnily enough, a bridegroom in prospective
who had been told of the enormous trousseau
that his future bride was getting, said that
it was not very complimentary to him, inas-
niuch as there seemed to be a doubt in the
mind of the family as to whether he would
ever be able to buy her a flannelpetticoat or
not. And you know really he told.the
truth; though it was in an odd sort of a way.
Pretty underwear, bought by the dozens,
is packed away, aud grows yellow and old.
So that this is my advice to somebody : With
what you already possess half a dozen of
everything you are in the habit of wearing
will be quite sufficient, and, if the money
which you have is more than enough for that
number, be wise and put it in the bank as a
little nest -egg for the future—a nest -egg
that will hatch out the dollars when you
want to give somebody a present, orremem-
ber the birthday - of the dearst man in the
world, and don't care to ask him to give you
the money to buy his own gift. And don't
get too many dresses. Shey go out of style,
and unless you are going to entertain and be
entertained a great deal, you will really i
have verylIttle need for them. I tell you a
very good mantle to provide yourself with
—that famous one of Charity. Don't leave
it out of your trousseau, and use it continu-
ally to cover the little faults of husband and
friends. It will be of more use to you than
alnost anything you can buy. And you
certainly can not afford to be without it.
God bless you, little bride, and take care of
you and yours forever.
Treasures Trove in Skye,
There has been an interesting discovery
of some treasure rove, .in the shape of very
old coins in the island Skye, near the north
western coast of Scotland. When a few- of the
coins had been unearthed by the rabbits bur-
rowing under a rock further search was
made, and' the result was the discoveay in a
small cleft of 105 ailver coins, thickly crust-
ed with earth, but in a fine state of preserve,
tion. Some of the pieces are old English silver
coins, minted about 900 years ago, in the
time of Atheletatto or Edward Confessor and
and others appear to be the mintage of some
Original dynasty. They are nearly all .thin
and light, about the size of a modern English
shilling. Some of them bear the words,
"Edward, Rex ' Brit." in old English char-
acters, and on one of them is a bust of
Edward, a rude figure. The Kings of Scot-
land, as well as the Welch Kings, swore
allegiance to
Athelstane, lane, the son of Edward
the Elder,
and ackuowledfe
, d him as their
heir
lord, Flow these curious old ciins ever got
to Skye 900 years ago is a mystery to the
Scotch archaeologists.

Ia auoh the fact?
From a table recently prepared by One
who has aolleeted the data, en the subject
it is shown that the period of the greatest
number of suicides is the pleasaatost part of
the year. In the ten years taken together,
March leads the months with the largest
aggregate number of cases of self -murder.
True, only in two years --1853 and 1885—
did March lead the year in ghastly preced-
ence of this sort. But the first month of
apring had a higher average than any other
month of the twelve, Why is tills ? Ono
would think that in the awakening of nature
men whose material circumstances were not
encouraging would And an inspiration and a
couragge nn the renewed youth of the year.
'In March in this latitude winter seldom
"line -s iu the lap of spring." Usually,
the p.rt young lady pushes the chilly old
parson from her, and then pelts tutu with
tiny green leaves and budding flowers. In
the bright aanshine and
cue BRACING Alit
of early springtime there is an invigorating
quality that slakes the spirits of the normal
mau light and gay and gives springiness to
his step and buoyaney to his hopes till his
heart becomes as the thiatlo-dotvn with
which the zephyrs frolic.
Then, too, there are signs preparative
of house-cleaning. More and mere empty
cans with gaudy labels blossom in the
alleys.. Unto the scavenger suddenly comes
the cnviction that he ought to give an
imitation of a man earning his pay, and
garbage -laden wagons blotch the boulevards.
The old•olo' man rings your bell eleven
times each day in quest of your winter•worn
habiliments. Driven no longer by the freez-
ing winds to the shelter of the basement and
the genial influence of the furnace., the
family cat and her neighbors hold nightly
converse in strident tones on the back fence.
Your winter overcoat gets tea heavy and
your spring overcoat is too light. The
parks look green and the lakes are rippled
by the breeze that blows through your
whiskers.
And yet this is the season and these the
environments that moat seem to make peo-
ple tired of themselves.
But bright May, the month of flowers and
moving, has a. bad effect on bilious -minded
men. Thre times during the past decade
has May led the procession of the months in
the number of cases of felo de se reported to
the coroner. The horrors ot house -hunting,
moving, and hustling for money to pay the
first month's rent, so as to pet the lease and
possession of the house, mayhave had some-
thing to do with the increased aversion to
life. But it would seem reasonable to sup-
pose that the contrary effects of the genial
season might have ena'bledunfortunate man-
kind to bear up against even such ills as
these.
In 1886, 1889, and 1890May-ay ahead
of the other months in disg�i .sig people
with life. The aggregate for. -,fay for ten
years was 109. Another thing to be noted
in the table is that the number of suicides in
May has increased almost without a break
since 1881. In May of that year but five
persons killed themselves. In 1890 twenty-
three decided the proposition " To be 1st
to be " in the negative.
June is almost as fatal to people's' minds
aud contentment with one's lot as is March.
In the ten years under consideration 127

MADE AWAY WITII THEM9ELYES.
Three times in ten years J une was the favor-
ite month for suicides. Those who had
passed safely throughthe temptations of
March and had triumphed over• the crosses
and tribulations of moving -day yielded to
the languid laziness of a day in June and
lay down to sleep forever. There is no
doubt but a. quiet siesta on a June after-
noon is very pleasant. But when one has
to induce slumber by means of morphine,
or "Rough on Rats," or a rope around one's
larynx, or a pistol -ball driven into on's
internal economy it seems like too persis-
tent pursuit of a small pleasure.
To philosophize on the cause of this phe-

he-nomenonis difficult because of the absence of
sufficient and reliable data. Most frequently
the suicide leaves behind no indication of
the state of his feelings immediately prior
to the act which terminates these feelings.

The Triple Alliance—Contlr4entfai eUfatrs
—The Totgat Expedition—France Offend-
ed at England.
Tha triple alliance after a nominaldura-
tion of eight years, but an actual exiseeuce
of eighteen, is apparently going to pieces,
The treaties still exist, though they have
nota great while to run, and all three huge
armies back of them are still stern:facts,
but the loosening of ties has become at las
so palpable that the whole world can see it
Russia and Austria have established cor
dial relations between their Courts ; France,
and Italy, after years of bitterness, are
smiling across the Alps at each other; the
mother of the German Kaiser is visiting in
Paris upon an avowed mission of extending
the olive branch to French art, but in real-
ity to prepare the French mind for kiudly
political overtures. In a word, Europe has
suddenly conceived the whim of taking off
its wearisome weight of armor and its
soiling helmet and enjoying a period of
rest and amusement in the open air, stretch-
ing its cramped flubs, looking at tate
sights, and forgetting its burdens aud its.
cares.
There is nothing dangerous or even haz-
ardous in this relaxation. Even if the
triple alliance wore definitely to come to an
end, the peace of Europe would bo no whit
the leas secured than it is to -day ; indeed,
itis the opinion of some of the wisest
publicists in Europe that the collapse of the
alliance would really add to the chances of
sustained peace, It happens very often
that combinations to preserve order inthem-
selves provoke disorder. There has been at
times a certain offensive ostentation of
brute power in the triple alliance which
had just this exasperating effect. Perhaps
it will be as well if the formal combination
does go by the board. Any genuine em-
ergency would find all the principal nations
of Europe alert to group themselves in
natural alliances again on a day's notice.
France has gotten a grevious offense out
of England's latest move in Egypt, the
effect of which is the exclusion of the
French from the Judicial Commission, and
official journals in Paris are spluttering
sharply about reprisals and diplomatic
ruptures. Those who know Egyptian af-
fairs best think nothing will come of it. It
seems probable that France has been treat-
ed badly. People who come in contact
with England in colonial affairs quite often
do get treated badly, but France really lost
her position in Egypt nine years ago, and
it is folly to keep up the pretense of refus-
ing to recognize the fact.
The expedition of the Egyptian troops to
Tokar, their triumphant defeat of the rebel
forces, and the successful occupation of
the town must be regarded as the first
serious step toward the pacification of the
Eastern Soudan provinces made since the
outbreak of the rebellion in 1883. Tokar
is not only the centre of a rich oasis which
supplies all the grain for the whole of these
provinces, but it is, much more than were
Berber and Cassels when Egypf held them,
a centre of touch with all of the , nest im-
portant tribes of the Eastern Sot e,an.
General Von Braun, of the German army,
has committed suicide.
