THE thrift QUESTION:
The Republicans all at Sea as to How The!
Shall Meet the MiIIs Bill ISSUE.

WASHINGTON, Mey 1R.-There is much
consultation among the Republican mem
bers of the House upon the proposition
made by Mills last week that the House
shall vote upon the Mills bill and substl'
tute to be offered by the Republicans d.
reCtly upon the close OF the general debate
this week and without consideration OF the
amendments. Up to this point no sort oil
an agreement has been reached by the he
publicans, and there appears to be a WIDE
difference OF opinion on the subject. Mills
says he made an offer to save the bill from
being drawn into the whirlpool OF five min,
utes' debate, which might hold it IN fs
grasp indefinitely. He is confident thai ms
party can be held together in the principles
under which the bill was constructed, ano

the migratory birds, Of course, faring better,
because they escaped for season from the
nets and traps and guns of their human
enemies. The commissioner of Sindh re-
ported, for example, that $4,000 black par
tridges were destroyed, In the course OF a
few days, to supply the European demand
for their skins, and, as cheap guns have now
got into the hands of the native bird slayers,
the slaughter was enormous and continuous
among all varieties valuable for their plum
age Sportsmen also complained Of the
scarcity of game birds, and measures for
their preservation adopted in the west had
to be applied to the east also, so that they
might be left at peace in their breeding sea-
son.
The protection was also extended by Lord
Dufferin's law to all animals of game not
noxious in order that the deer and antelope
might not be driven out or destroyed But
of course this feature has to be carefully
guarded that beasts of prey may not be in
cluded, for even now the loss of human life
because of these fierce animals is very great
annually, as the table of 1856 shows total
of 2,707 persons killed by wild elephants,
tigers, leopards, bears, wolves, hyenas and
other animals. The number of animals
killed in 1886 by natives under the stimulus
of the bounties offered was q, 407. Except
so far as the tigers were concerned, man had
a vast advantage in the slaughter But the
tigers lost only l AGA, while they killed OPS.
In some of the provinces the tigers were far
ahead. In lower Bengal, for example, $50
persons were killed by tigers, but only 24j
tigers were killed. Among the ''other ami
mails" mentioned in the tables the jccEaI is
the chief, and their victims are doubtless
many more than are officially returned. The
list of these unspecificd animals includes, be-
sides, wild boars, L..o1s and crocodi!es.

DROPPED DEAD.

Dropped dead, they told me, on the streets one
day,
With life all round, its splendid goals in view,
The dearest, kindest friend ever knew.
They told me gently, leagues and leagues away.
My heart stood still an instant, then the play
OF joyous light diffused my being through;
Death gave him back to me, and il was true
Death is more kind than life to us Away.
They wondered why did not seem to care;
They heard me sing old songs with old time
glee;
They could not hear his low voice everywhere,
Nor know how very near he seemed to me,
Saying, life is so short our love 70 share,
Be patient, death will give me back TO thee
