Show Getting Kven. At Tientsin, China, two neighbors who had been on the most intimate terms had a little spat, and afterward one of them Mra Wang, threatened to commit sui cide. The Sbili Pao, which has the curious story, tells of what followed hi this manner: Mrs. Feng, upoi hearing tli is threat and fearing lest site should be helplessly implicated should her enemy carry her threat into execution resolved at once to take time by tlie forelock and sleal a march upon her enemy by taking her own life, and thus turn the tables upon her.

Fortunately a countryman who was passing by rescued her, and taking her home attempted to effect a reconciliation, reconcilia-tion, with but partially successful results. |
