Don't BE a Grumbler.

Some people contliye to get hold Of
the prickly side of everything, to IL
against all the sharp II and dis
agreeable things. Half the strength
spent in growing would often set
things right. You may as well make
up your mind to begin with that n
even found the world quite as he
would like it but you are to take Your
part of the trouble and bear it brave
ly. You will be sure to have burdens
laid upon You that belong to other
people unless you are Il shirker Your
self; but don't grumble. Ii the work
needs doing, and you can do it never
mind about that other one who ought
to have done it and didn't. Those
workmen who fill up the gaps and
smooth away the rough spots, and
finish mp the jobs that others leave
undone-they are the true peace-mak-
ers, and worth q whole regiment of
growlers.-HoMseMife.s -

Loss of Life in India through Wild
Beasts.

Sir Joseph Fayrer, in the Nineteenth
Century for August, in an article on
The Deadly Wild Beasts of India.
gives startling figures. Notwithstand
ing all that has been done toward di-
minishiDg the loss Of human life by
wild animals, the evil is undated, If
not absolutely increasing. In 1880,
10, $50 deaths reported as caused
by snakes, while in 1886 the number
was 22,134. In 1887 there was a slight
decrease. But the deaths from wild
beasts, not including snakes, in 1887,
numbered 2618, besides 81. O21 head
OF domestic cattle. Tigers killed over
1000 of these 216S persons, tho others
having been killed by leoPards, bears,
wolves, hyenas. elephants and other
wild animals. The total loss Of life
caused annually by four-footed beasts
and reptiles is placed at about 25,6OO
human beings and So 1000 head of do
nestle animals. In some good degree
the religion Of India is responsible for
this fearful sacrifice of life. The doc
trine Of the transmigratiOn Of souls
leads to tho belief pntert lined by the
HindLs that these deadly animals are
but ..incarnatiOns of those who have
before lived on earth, so that even a
snake coiled up on the roadside, ready
to spring on II %passerby. is not killed,
lest perhaps the spirit of Il mother o.
father or near friend should be with
in the beast. India needs the .gospeI
if for nothing else than to deliver il
from the deadly wild beasts.-lNission

Several Hundred Killed.

ANTWERP, Sept. 6.-Dynamite ex-
ploded to-day in a cartridge factory
in the vicinity of the bourse, killing
many persons and doing much dam
age to property. Portions of the
bourse were struck by burning frag-
ments and set on fire, causing a panic
in the building, which was crowded.
The explosion occurred in work
shop where old cartridges were being
taken to pieces. Men and women
were actively at work breaking them
up and 25,5000O0 had been partly
broken.
The fire is still raging and now COW
ers two acres. The flames shoot up
to an immense hight. Amid the roar
of flames there is a continuous sue
cession of loud reports, supposed to
be from the ignition and explosion of
pockets of cartridges.
Beyond the Russian tanks and No
bles' sheds there are numerous houses
burning.
The shipping at the African and
American docks is in danger.
The number of deaths will reach
200. About 500 persons were Injured.
The loss swill be many million
francs. It will be impossible to ey-
tinguish the flames in less than TWEEN
ty-four hours.
Several vessels have been burned
Owing to the intense heat, the fire.
men are unable to approach the flames
nearer than one hundred yards.
The latest estimate is that there
fare 300 killed and 1000 wounded.
Explosions continue at the Ameri.
can dock. All the ships have been
saved, owing to the favorable direc-
ton of the wind.
The stained glass windows of the
cathedral are smashed, and 1t is
feared that the steeple will collapse
The whole vicinity is strewn with de-
bris.
The soldiers of the garrison and a
large number of citizens are aiding
the firemen. Many are dropping
from exhaustion. The scenes ut the
hospital are heart-rending.
