The proposal to establish a de facto Govern- ment Bank in Peking with branches through out the Empire has been eagerly taken up by the Empress Dowager and her advisers, says the N. C.

This it appears bas by no means dampened the ardour of the pro- jectors, for we now learn that the Presidents and Vice-Presidents of the Board of Revenue have reported to the Empress Dowager that their Board has laid aside a sum of two million taels to assist in starting the capital of the proposed in‹litution, in consequence of which her Majesty has announced her intention to also contribute from out of her own private purse not less than half a million taels towards the same object.

A DEVOTED MOTHER.

PERILS HER LIFE FOR HER CHILD,

M deat, retiring, seeing no great merit in her own devotion, Mrs. Went, the wife of an Essex man, has a higher claim to resect- though until now the World has never heard of her than many a showy heroine of the sensational newspapers.

A representative of the Riser Telegraph gives the simple story which she told in reply to his questions.

The tragedy which seemed to threaten the family circle of Mr. and Mrs. Went had its origin in this brave woman's devotion to her children; and that she did not actually give her life for theirs is due not to any sparing of herself, but to the fact that when, exhausted by nursing two of them in succession through dangerous illnesses, she fell sick herself and seemed likely to die, Dr. Williams' pink pills for pale people snatched her from her peril and made her a strong woman again, able to con. tinue her devoted, useful life as wife and mo:her.
