Dangers to Life in India.

India Is the only country that makes
death by the attacks OF serpents and
wild beasts a feature Of it's annual sta.
tistics. That Is has good reason for
doing SO is shown by the impressive ig-
ures Of last years mortality-eleyen
hundred and thirty-three deaths from
snake bites and two hundred and nine
ty-one people killed by tigers and other
wild animals. Although India is one
Of the most densely populated caun-
tries on the globe, the increase OF hu-
man Inhabitants does not have the ef-
feet Of decreasing the number Of wild
beasts, as it does elsewhere, because
the religion OF the n~atives-or u great
proportion Of them--forbids them to
take life. even Of dangerous beasts and
serpents; hence they let these Destroy
ers thrive and multiply in the midst Of
their communities. One Of the best
works Of the British In India Is their
reduction of the number Of wild beasts,
and especially tigers, as a result of
their passion for hunting big game,

The Hospital and q Fearful Operation.

Hospitalsin greatcities are sad places to visit. Three,
tourths of the patients lying on those snow-white beds
are women and girls.
Why should this be the case
Because they have neglected themselves! Women
rs q rule attach too little importance to first symp- ?
toms of a certain kind. If they have toothsche,
they will try to save the tooth, though many leave
even this too late. They comfort themselves with
the thought that they can replace their teeth; but
they cannot replace their internal organs!
Every one of those patients in the hospital beds
had plenty of warnings in the form of bearing down
feelings, pain at the right or the left Of the womb, !
nervous dyspepsia. pain in the small of the back, the
"blues, or some other unnatural symptom, but they di

Harry Nj. Smith. Jr. seeks the release
OF his son.
The grounds set forth by Mr. Smith are
two-fold. In the first place he secured
from Justice Crutchheld copy of the
original commitment which reads that
the hoy was sent 10 the RefOrmatory,
and this. the Justice says, IS a true copy
from the records.
on this Mr.. Smith argues that there is
no such place as the Keformatory, in a
legal sense. and claims that the boy Is
being withheld from his father Illegally.
The other ground IS that In the COM
mitment no criminal offence IS set forth.
Mr. Smith accordingly moved that the
court dismiss the prosecution against the

day.
