In spite of all life-saving appliances
there is still death in the mine to a
frightful extent. Civilization gets its
supply of coal and iron at a costly ex-
pense of human life. Statistics just pub
Iished in England show that during the
year 1885 the total number of fatal ac-
cidents was $3.50, and the total number
of deaths occasioned thereby 1914,
showing a decrease compared with the
preceding year of 81 in the number of
fatal accidents and an increase of 216
In the number of lives lost. On an av-
erage during the year there was one IA
tai accident to every 64S persons en-
ployed. The average for the ten years
1874 to 1888, is one fatal accident to
every 594 persons employed, and one
death by accident to every 45S persons
employed. The proportion of fatal ac-
cidents to the number of persons en-
ployed is therefore lower than the av-
erage of the last ten years and the death
rate is also lower, which, of course, is
gratifying as far as itgoes.

The Tigers Strength.

Nothing shows more the marvellous
strength possessed by the tiger than the
way in which he carries his victim away.
remember the first time l was shown
where tiger had dragged full grown
bullock. l could not believe it possible,
and it was not until aftcc we had killed
the robber-only an ordinary sized
tigrcss-and I had carefully gone over
on foot the ground where she had dragged
her prey that l found that she had not
only dragged the dead bullock-an
animal, should think, considerably be-
yond her own weight over dry rough
ground and through dense canebreak,
but that in some places, as the marks
showed, she must actually have lifted
the fore quarters of the bullock off the
ground in her mouth and have walked
several yards with it in that position.
When the victim has been dragged to
what the tiger considers a position of
security it will sit down and take good
meal, and then retire short distance
from its prey to some particularly thick
bush or tuft of grass, and there remain
until the following night, and then
return for another meal. In consequence
of this we'll known habit ga kill" as it is
called, is the best of all khubber, and in
such cases, if the tiger has not been dis
turbcd, the sportsman is almost sure to
find him lying somewhere close to the
carcass, and, if his arrangements are well
made, is pretty sure to get shot at him.

Mrs, Whites Snake Skin.

Mrs John White, living few miles from
this village, has a mounted rattlesnake
skin, four feet and half long, with an
imperfect set of rattles in the tail, which
she is proud to show to visitors, while
relating how the snake, when alive, chased
her, although involuntarily, for nearly
hs.f mile, and kept up the chase even
after it was dead. Mrs. White was
standing by the roadside one warm day,
when she heard rattlesnake sound its
"bells" Immediately behind her, and at
the same time felt a tug at the skirt of
her dress. She looked around quickly
and saw that big rattlesnake had struck
at her, and that its fangs were fast in the
bottom of her dress. Mrs. White started
on run for home. The snakes fangs
were so securely fastened in the dress
that the snake was carried along. Mrs.
White ran so fast that the rattlcsnako
was whipped and snapped about like the
tail of kite.
The house was almost half mile away,
and when Mrs. White reached her door
she was so much overcome by the run
and her fright that she tainted on the
doorstep. Her daughter ran out When
she saw the snake, with its fangs fast in
her mothers dress, and her mother ly-
ing pale on the step, she supposed the
snake had bitten her mother and killed
her, and the girl ran screaming to a
neighbor's, half mile further on, where
she alarmed the household with the news
that her mother had been killed by a
rattlesnake A man ran back to Whites.
Mrs. White had revived sufficiently to
drag herself INTO the house. The snake
was dead, and still fast in the dress. Tho
threshing on the stones and against the
ground had beaten the life out of it and
broken off the lower part Of its rattles.
Seven were left, from the size and grada-
ton of which it was calculated that the
perfect set contained at least thirteen.
The snake was skinned and mounted, and
has ever since been an object of great
curiosity in the community. The shock
to Mrs. White prostrated her for several
DAYS. .-NeD York Sun.

Fear Does Not Reason

An instance out of my own experience
will go to show how fear does not reason.
About ten years ago when was in Ba-
den near the Black Forest, I was in tho
habit of walking alone in the evening
till late in the night. The security was
absolute and new very well there was
no danger; and as long as was in the
open field or on the road, felt nothing
that resembled fear. But to 60 into the
forest, where it was so dark that one
could hardly see two steps ahead was
another thing. l Ientered resolutely, and
l Iwent in for some twenty PAGES; but, in
spite of myself, the deeper I plunged
into the darkness, the more fear gained
possession of me which was quite incom-
prehensible. tried in vain to overcome
the unreasonable feeling, and I may
have walked on in this way for about
quarter of an hour. But there was moth
ing pleasant about the walk and 1 could
not help feeling relieved when l saw the
light of the sky through gap in the
trees, and it required strong effort of
the will to keep from pressing toward it.
My fear was wholly without cause. l
