Dangers to Life In India.

India is the only country that makes
deaths by the attacks of serpents and
wild beasts feature of its annual sta
tistics. That 1t has good reason for
doing 90 Is shown by the impressive
figures of last years mortallty--1,133
deaths from snake bites and POI peo-
pie killed by tigers and other wild ami
mails. Although India is one Of the
most densely populated countries on
the globe, the increase of human in
habitants does not have the effect of
decreasing the number of wild beasts,
as it does elsewhere, because the re-
ligion of the natives-or great pro-
portion of them-forbids them to take
the life, even of dangerous beasts and
serpents; hence thoy 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 re-
suit of their passion for hunting big
game.-Philadelphia Ledger.

There was large picnic party from

grounds at the Center. They brought

would make splendid picnic ground
if the ground was leveled, the stones

water and a road TO get there. They
have plenty of air and good view.
There was some kind of fair on the
grounds while the picnic was going
on but not enough to disturb them.

man and 25c for horse every farmer
