Slaughter by Wild Beasts.

1t is somewhat strange, says an ex
change, that with the full knowledge
that is possessed of the frightful num-
bers of human beings yearly slaughtered
in India by wild beasts, some efficient
means are not taken for the extermina-
tion of the latter. In 1875 20,805, and
in 1876 ,273 people perished from this
cause. This is considerably beyond the
total mortality produced by wars before
the invention of breech- leaders and ma
chine guns. For example, in 1855 sta
tistics were published in England show
ing that in twenty-five years of war 49,
796 people we're killed. In nine great
battles, including Waterloo, 4, TAO fell.
Even at the present time such anumber of
deaths occurring in two years war would
be deemed large, and if they occurred
through pestilence in great city the
situation would be considered very grave.
Yet to prevent such mortality in both
instances every refinement of medical
luB0uulGy hut ohlil WOuiu 10 CACloSu ; LII
the present case nothing is done beyond
offering small rewards for the killing of
the wild animals.
The loss does not end with that of hu-
man life. During the above two years
the aggregate of cattle killed by tigers,
snakes, and wild beasts GENERALLY aggre-
gated 101; 635. One tigress is known
to have slaughtered 127 people, and
stopped the traffic for many weeks on a
public road. Another killed upwards
of fifty people and caused the abandon
ment of thirteen villages. Against the
death rate of victims we can place the
amounts paid for rewards for killing the
animals, namely, for 1875, $52, 1926, and
ia 1876, $54,314, which seems small in
view of the magnitude of the evil to be
prevented.

Two Blonde Switches.

Mrs. j. T. Ewers, of Fort Gibson,
Indian Territory, ordered two switches
of human hair from Mr.. L. Shaw, of
New York. On the 9th of last October
they were sent out to her, and on the
9th of December Mr.. Shaw sent a
notice to Postmaster James, of New
York, that the package had failed to ar
rive. The postmaster at Fort Gibson
was communicated with and he report
ed back that he knew nothing of it.
Mrs. Ewers began to grow very i'm
patient and wrote to Mr.. Shaw very
strongly worded letter. This was sent
to Postmaster James, and after very
diligent inquiry, on the 9th of March
Postmaster Holloway, of Indianapolis,
reported that he had found all envelope
with the above address, with no con-
tents, and that he had since ascertained
that Charles Alderman, clerk, had
found package such as described, and
that the matter had been referred to
Mr.. French, the superintendent of the
special mail service, Of the Cincinnati
division. Subsequent Investigations
led to an application to General Hazen,
at the dead letter office at Washington,
who found and forwarded the two
switches of blonde hair to Postmaster
james, and they were subsequently
transmitted to Mrs. Ewers.

Fighting a Whale.

A correspondent of the Raleigh Obser-
ger, writing from Moorehead City, coast
of North Carolina, says: On Tuesday
there was the most exciting and danger
GUS whale fight that has ever occurred
on this coast. It was with some difficult
ty that the captain of the crew could get
his men to obey orders. When the first
bomb was fred into the whale it failed
to explode. This made the whale furi-
oua, when at this instant he struck one
of the boats and knocked it some feet
above the water. The captain then fred
another bomb; this failed of explosion; ;
the fight was still getting more furious.
The third bomb was fred and exploded
near the heart. This conquered the
monster. The blood spouted some ten
feet high, and as the crew rushed up to
stick their lances in him. the blood fell
in showers upon them and their boats.
The fight was witnessed by another crew
stationed about seven miles above them.
They looked on with delight, only wish
ing they could get into such bloody
contest. The whale was forty-two feet
long and extremely fat. This fish will
probably bring about 5000.

Odd Editions of the Bible.

Queer titles have been given to old
editions of the Scriptures. The "Bug"
Bible was printed in London in 1861,
by Nicholas Hyll. The nickname arose
from the following Psalm xci, 8. $50
that thou shalt not nede to be afraid for
any B,t9ges by nighte," etc. The pres
ent reading is, "Thou shalt not be
afraid for the terror by night" etc.
The "Breeches Bible was printed
1860, at Geneva, and so called from
that word in Gen. iii, Z.
The "Treacle" Bible was printed in
1868 by Richard Jugge. In Jeremiah
viii, %, 1t reads, els there no trya Gle
in Gilead?" In 1909 Che word tryacle
was changed for rosin, hence another
edition known as the Rosin" Bible,
in which the passage reads, els there
no rosin in Gilead9" The word balm
was not introduced until 1911, and the
reading, "Is there no balm in Gilead ?"
continues until the present time.
The "He Bible, printed in London
in 1911, by Robert Barker, takes its
nickname from a curious error occur
ring in Ruth iii, Is, "He measured six
measures of barley and laid it on her /;
and he went into the city," In the
same year Q61D another and entirely
distinct edition was printed, in which
the word she was substituted for the
above mentioned, and hence the name
"She Bible was given it, to distinguish
it from the He Bible.
The Wicked Bible was printed in
1851, and takes its name from the very
funny mistake of omitting the negative
in the seventh commandment, making
it read, "Thou shalt commit adultery. "
This extraordinary omission occurred
again in a German edition of about
1882, so there is as ViliEkedF' Bible in
German as well as English.
The Vinegar Bible, 1717, is so
called because the headline of Luke,
chapter Xxx, reads, "The parable of the
vinegar" instead of the vineyard. The
printer of this edition was one j.
Basket, of Oxford, and because of the
numerous typographical faults, it was
sometimes called the Basketball of
errors"

Your Mission.

II you cannot on the ocean sail among the
swiftest feet,
hooking on the mighty billows, laughing a:
the storms you meet,
fou can stand among the sailors anchored vet
within the bay,
You can lend hand to help them as they
launch their boats away.
II you are too weak to journey up the noun
tain steep and high,
You can stand within the valley as the multi
tudes by
fod can chant in happy measures as they slow
ly pass along,
Though they may forget the singer, they will
not forget the song.
II you cannot in the conflict prove yourself a
warrior true,
II, when fire ani smoke are thickest, there's
no work for you to do
When the battlefield is siiert, you can go with
gentle tread,
You can bear away the wounded, you can cover
up the dead.
II you cannot in the harvest garner up the
richest sheaves,
Many grain both ripe and golden, which the
careless reaper leaves,
You can CLEAN among the briArs growing rank
against the wall,
And it may be that the shadows hide the heayi-
est wheat Of all.
II you have not gold and silver ever ready at
command,
If you cannot toward the needy reach an ever
open hand,
You can visit the affiicted-oer the erring you
can weep
You can be true disciple sitting at the Mas
ter's feet.
Do not then, stand idly waiting for some
nobler work TO do,
Foryour Heavenly Fathers glory, ever earnest
ever true.
Go and toll in my vineyard-work In patience
and In prayer,
II you want a field of labor you can find it
anywhere.

She Didn't Scare.

A boy who was disappointed the other
day in making sale of tinware to a
woman on Park street, Detroit, mutter-
ed something which excited her indigna-
ton, and she gave him great big piece
of her mind. In "jawing back" he
said:
"Your husband ought to be arrested
for working on Sundayp -
Working on Sunday-come here,
bub! Now, bub, if you'll prove that
my husband ever worked on Sunday, or
any other day in the week, I'll give you
dollar I've lived with him for twen-
ty years, and have always had to buy
even his whisky and tobacco, and now il
he's gone to work I want to know it |"
The boy backed off without another
word.

Cricket Fighting in China.

In some parts of China crickets are
regularly trained for combat, the method
being as follows: The crickets when
captured are kept singly in earthenware
pots, at the bottom of which is a small
quantity Of fine mold, and very small
cup containing few drops of water for
the insect to drink out Of and bathe in.
Their food consists of two kinds of fish,
called man-yu and kht-yu. Insects
called loo kum-chung, tun- -tsit-chung
and pin-tam- chung are occasionally given
to them. They get honey to strengthen
them, and other items of their diet are
boiled chestnuts and boiled rice. For
two hours every night female cricket
is placed in the pot with the male.
Smoke is supposed to be injurious
to their health, and the rooms
in which they are kept must be
perfectly free from it. A charm or
mystic scroll to avert evil influences is
sometimes placed on the cricket's pot
If they are sick from overeating, red
insects called hun chung are given them.
If the sickness arises from cold, they get
mosquitoes; if from heat, stoots of the
green pea plant. Chuk-tip, or bamboo
butterflies, are given for difficulty in
breathing. At the cricket-pit, which
the Chinese call Lip, the insects are
matched according to size, weight and
color. The stakes are in some cases
very large. 1t is, however, generally
supposed by the government that they
consist of presents of sweet cakes. A
cricket which wins many victories is call
ed Shan-lip, or conquering cricket, and
when it dies it is placed in small silver
coffin and buried. Crickets which dis
play great fighting powers are not unfre-
quently sold for large sums.

The Chinese and NecrOmancy.

The Chinese are firm believers in ne
cromancy, fortune-telling and kindred
arts. The visions seen while under the
influence of opium, are by them inter-
preted into meanings. Several China
men in San Francisco make profession
of fortune-telling. Their method is to
take a smoke of opium, from the effects
of which they have vieions, from which
they interpret whether certain sick per-
sons will die or get well, or whether
certain individuals will win or lose in
gambling games in which they propose
to engage. They have q small ivory
figure to assist them in the interpreta-
tions, which represents certain god,
who never sleeps, eats, or drinks, and
never dies. If the seer's prognostica-
tions are verified, he is smart fellow;
if not, the blame is laid on the god,
whom they charge with being bewitched,
and he is thrown away and new ivory
god purchased in his stead.

Journalism is d far older institution
in Russia than may be generally sup
posed. st. Petersburg was founded in
1703 by Peter tho Great, in the fifteenth
year of his reign. The ddtocratic re-
former, who may be said to have created
the Muscovite Empire ont of political
ami social chaos, died in 1875, and three
years later vas published the first num-
ber of Russian paper, entitled the st.
Petersburg FedOmosh. In the last
week in January this journal celebrated
the one hdhdred and fftieth anniversary
of its existence. The occasion, at once
important and interesting, was done
ample honor and justice to. Messrs.
Komarofr h Usoff, the proprietors, sent
invitations to all the leading journalists
of the Russian capital, and to the men,
bers of the literary, scientific, and legal
professions, the teachers of the public
schools, the officers of the etat-maior,
the employees of the public departments
In word, to the representatives of ev-
cry walk of life In st. Petersburg.
Even the Cars right-hand man, the
Censor, made speech there and then,
setting forth the merits of journalism in
general and of the Fed0n,Osi in partic-
ular. The gathering of guests was in
the spacious hall of that paper. Vari-
GUS literary exercises were performed,
including the reading of an essay on the
"Ideal Editor and Newspaper, " poem
entitled "The Black Sea, land an adj
dress to the editors of the Ved0nos6
from the conductors of the St. Peters
burg press. A choral performance fol
lowed, by the members of the Imperial
Conservatoire, of selection of the beau
tiful peasant songs for which Russia is
so remarkable. Next were dramatic and
operate scenes, foreign and native, and
a magnificent banquet, at which patriot
ic toasts and speeches were delivered
ad Hb., closed this remarkable celebra-
ton in the small hours of the morning.
Those who have been accustomed to
regard Russia as nation of Doors, and
st. Petersburg despite its imperial Ii
brary of over million of volumes) as a
sort of savage place, will be surprised
at learning from us that one of its news
papers is over $50 years old. With the
exception of the London Gazette (Which
is not newspaper, but publication of
government and other announcements,
the Oldest of oil the London journals is
the Morning Post, begun in 1881, more
than. half a century after the establish

republicans has been due mainly to their
prodigal use of money derived in large
degree from enforced contributions of
subordinate officials, and if the president
in the face Of party clamor and the urgent
demands of leading politicians can break
up the iuiquitous system, or even hold it
under vigorous restraint, he will to that
extent have acted in commendable
manner. and will deserve the approval Of
the intelligent citizens of all parties for his
frmness and his adherence to his promise
of civil service reform in that regard.
Tive conflicting accounts which appear
at short intervals in regard to the presi-
dents intentions, and the unquestionable
pressure Of the leaders of the party to
compel him to change his policy in regard
to civil service regulations, render it a
matter of extreme uncertainty as to which
will eventually prevail. For the good of
the country we sincerity hope the "amiable
stubbornness" of the president will keep
him steadfast in his determination to
have the order faithfully executed.
