1900 Persons KiIIed by snakes.
An English paper SAYS:

A st. Patrick is certainly wanted in
India as much as ever he was in Ireland.
During the year 1869 no less than IL ,4i6
persons in the Bengal Presidency died
from the effect of snake bite. The re
turn giving us this information has been
carefully compiled; all the merely sick
and wounded have been omitted, as well
as those sudden deaths which in India
are often attributed to snake bites by
heirs to property unduly eager for their
inheritance 1t is a surprising fact that
Ibis destruction of human life goes on
year By year, and that no eficaeious
means are adopted TO check its ravages.

A Sad story,

Minnesota papers tell sad story of a
little pirl and boy who wandered away
from the house OF their father in Morri-
son county, in that State, and subse-
ouently we're found dead by the Indians
The boy lay on his back, having aPpa-
rentlv died without much suffering The
girl had taken her rings from her ears,
and wrapping them With a lock Of her
hair in a small piece Of cloth, had put
the little parcel in her pocket, and then
lain down and died from cold, hunger
and exposure.

The LOCK STITOH which it

The LOCK SVKTCH which II
makes is more durable and beautiful than
any other, presenting the same appear
ance on both sides of the fabric and will
not ravel. 1t is also more economical,
requiring oNE-THIRD LESS cotton than
any OF, er kind of stitch. Being the same
on both sides, it is not necessary to use
the extremely fine sewing cotton required
by those machines which make q stitch
with ridge on the under side, which can
only be concealed by using thread too
delicate and fine to bear ordinary wear.
