SNAKES.
They Killed Twenty-Five Thousand
East Indians in 1886.

ACOCf
From the Times Of India.
During the year 1886 the number Of per-
sons killed by wild animals and venOmous
snakes in Hindostan, was "A, 84l. This is an
increase Of ,934 over the figures for the
previous year.
The fatalities from snake bites rose from
20, l42 TO %, 1874, while wild animals killed
>, 707 persons, as compared with 2,765, in
1880. Tigers were responsible for 1928 deaths
and wolves for 222, these figures showing 80
more deaths from tigers and 26 fewer from
wolves as compared with the proceeding
year. Elephants, leopards, bears, hyenas.
wild bears, bisons, wild hogs, jackals, ALI
gators, crocodiles, wild cats, and panthers
had also their quota of victims.
The very large proportion of the total
deaths from injuries inflicted by wild ami
mails and snakes take place in the lower pro-
vinces Of Bengal and in the northwestern
provinces and Dude For example, during
1856 no fewer than IS, sos fatal cases of the
aggregate of "a, 81 for the whole of India
occurred in these districts. In Bengal dur
ing the year Al deaths were caused by
jackals and 1913 by alligatOrs. The total
number Of cattle killed throughout India
by wild ANIMALS and snakes during 1885 was
81 ,54l, as compared with 50 O29 III the pre-
viOus year. With regard to the destruction of
wild animals, the figures are far from salts
factory. Comparing the year 1886 with
1885, the number of tigers killed fell from
$50 to 1,464, of leopards from ), 466 to
4,Oj1 and of bears from ,S74 to l66S The
decline was chiefly in Bengal and Madras,
and the reason has been generally attributed
to the smallness of the rewards, whereby
shikaris are not encouraged to kill the nOx
iOus animal.
There was a falling off in the number of
snakes killed from ,044 to All, 800 The
decline was chiefly in Bengal, and the cause
assigned is again the small amount available
for the payment OF rewards. The total
amount paid in India during 1886 in re-
wards for the destruction of wild animals
and poisonous snakes was Rs. 1,S9006,
against Rs. 9, "a, l2G in the previous year. OF
the former amount, Rs. %, 800 were paid for
the destruction of snakes. The snakes
killed in Bombay were more in number than
of Tndia

Tiny Pipes for Women.
New York Mail and Express.


 The question, do nice women smoke, brings up very pretty implement with which they may smoke if they 80 choose. The latest novelties exhib- ited in Broadway jewelry store is a tiny pipe that only a woman could carry to her lips. Its stem is trifle shorter and smaller in diameter than the average meerschaum, and is made of gold, set with garnets, moonstones and emeralds. The mouthpiece is of yellow and pink veined onyx, and the bowl, which might hold half thim- bleful, is heavily set with small gems. The toy is worth something like one hundred dollars, and at 8 gilt-edged fine affair, when cigars are brought in with the coffee, if lady chooses to re- main at the close of dinner, it may make a prettier combination than beauty and the cigarette. The jewell CT says that the first pipe of this sort was made to order for woman of some social position, and that he has had four or five calls for them since. The talk of ladies smoking is much exaggerated, however. There are numbers of Cubans and Spaniards and some French women of beauty and position who buy cigarettes in person, smoke them at dinners and offer them to lady friends in their boudoirs. But they are only importing 8 foreign cus- tom, which does not strike any strong root here.

A Thoughtful Banker.
Boston Transcript.

"It is queer," said the gentleman who told the story, Chow a man like that will sometimes do thing that you would think none but the veriest blockhead would be guilty of. I re- member the day we'll suppose it was thirty years ago at least-when it happened, one summer day, in business hours, that every body in the bank ex- cept Bolton and myself had gone out. All at once l remembered an impor- tant error that had to be done. I told MT. Bolton about it and asked to go out. Yes said he, 'go out and attend to it, and I'll take care of the bank till you come back put on my hat and coat and sallied forth. It seems that I had scarcely got out of sight when Bolton remembered & most important engagement that he himself had out side. Things were primitive in Cam bridge at that time, and he simply went and got his hat and started to leave the bank. He had got to the steps when he called to mind the fact he had left the safe unlocked. He went back and locked it; and then it occurred to him that when came in ought to be able to get into the safe. So he put the key in a safe place, at the bottom of the waste basket, and covered it over with envelopes and scraps of paper. IL was safe enough there, but how was I to know where it was? He got around that difficulty by setting the waste basket under my desk and pinning note on the desk in plain sight. Then he went out about his business; and when came in I found, pinued there in plain sight, staring me in the face, note that read: John: You viii find the key of the safe at the bottom of the waste basket. B. Any chance thief who had come in at tho ennfastened door of the bank would @kAve seen that note, and guided by it, could have opened the safe and carried off all he could lay his hands on. But Bolton was one of the most careful investors and finan- cial advisers that ever lived in Cam bridge or Boston"

About Red Noses.

A very common error is the belief that red nose or chin, and pimples or ssblossoms" about that part of the face, are the result of hard drinking and are always indicative of that vice. With many persons this is the case. The acceleration of the movement of the heart, the rapid heating of the body and the slow weakening of the blood, three of the chief results of the use of alcohol upon the system, too often find expressions in the unsightly symptoms mentioned, as we'll as others more serious.
 These symptoms, says the A,tolyst, often arise from other and very differ ent causes. In some instances expos ure to the sunlight will produce re- suits hardly distinguishable from those of alcoholic indulgence, and more especially with those with inn pure blood, or whose habits have not been marked by the regularity de- manded by health. Tight lacing, or even the mere wearing of stays, nc matter how loosely these may fit, or how soft and flexible the material from which they are made, frequently exercise the same effect in every re- gard. Many temperate woman and abstinent maid has acquired the repu- tation of being a hard drinker from the appearance of her face, when, as g matter of fact, her only fault has been the desire to look attractive and it's foolish expression in the compression of her waist and abdomen. Gluttony is another common cause of red nose and cutaneous disorders of the face And in this regard gluttony does not mean the eating of large quantities o1 food, but merely of more than the sys- tenn requires. Two and half pounds of nutriment per dtem may be glut- tony for young man or young wo- man who takes little or no exercise and passes the day reading light liter. ature, or idly conversing, where five pounds would be abstemiousness to a young collegian playing ball and row. ing twelve hours out of the twenty four. Many diseases, and more par ticularly the affections of the erysipe- las class, tend to express themselves in and upon the nose and face, not only in all their forms and stages, but even after they have been nominally cured leave or imprint tendency upon the system to the same unsightly and dis gusting symptoms. However serious or deep seated the causes, it is always possible and easy to cure and prevent the effects. Whether the original source of the trouble lies in constitu- tional disease, depraved condition ot the system, hard drinking, overeating sunburn or tight lacing, it cannot pro- duce the blemishes described until after the blood has been surcharged with humors and the vital organs have become weakened in tone and activity. These are in every instance the imme- diate cause of the trouble. If they be stopped before they reach their full development, no skin disease will break out. If they be properly treated after that point, the disease soon dis appears and the sufferer speedily re- gains his beauty and health.

Good Place For Flies.

A lady who had been stopping at the Atlantic hotel, Bridgeport, walked into drug store in that city a few days ago, and calmly removed from her dress lizard about a foot long, which she placed on the soda water counter.
 She explained that the lizard pre- ferred . diet of flies, and the counter was good place for the reptile to se- cure . supply of his favorite food. Alter the hzard had eaten all the flies 1t wanted the lady fastened about it's neck gold collar, to which chain was attached, and returned it to her dress and walked away.

 A MILLION YEARs.-To the human understanding the vast sketches of time involved in geological history are utterly incomprehensible. It is not easy, indeed, to form an idea of what period even a million of years IS, through Croll tells us how a strik- ing impression of such lapse may be conveyed to mind. Stretch piece of paper eighty three feet four inches long around the walls of a room some what over twenty feet square, recall the events of life to give some concep- ton of hundred years, and then con- slider that mark one- tenth of an inch broad at one end of the paper repre- sents the century, while the whole strip gives place for only a million yearsl This illustration is worth trv- ing. Could we stand, continues the author of"Climate and Time" upon the edge of gorge, mile and half Tn depth, that had been cut out of the solid rock by tiny stream scarcely visible at the bottom of this terrible abyss, and were we informed that this little streamlet was able to wear of annually only one-tenth of an inch from its rocky bed, what would our conception be of the prodigious length or time that this stream must have taken to excavate the gorge7 We should certainly feel startled on find- ing that the stream had performed this enormous amount of work in something les than million of years.

Tariff Reduction.

The Appeal. publishes mn item to the
effect that another Democrat has re-
pudiated the party, and says:
"Tbe reason he gives il Cleyeland's
message aud, Mills bill. He snys under
the high tariff in 1883 his receipts from
imported paper were $18.4O5 67. In
1887, after the tariff had been reduced
10 per cent. the receipts were swelled
to s242.217 81"
Well, was the reduction of 1883 eff
fected by the Mills billH What party
administered the sffairH of the govern
ment in 1882 Has there been any
change in the tariff laws since 1882
By the way. 1t seems little strange
Ehnt this Mr.. Agar should kick because
his receipts we're swelled from $4,000
in 1883 to $242, 900 in 1887, and his
profits correspondingly increased.
