EXCITING WILD LIFE IN INDIA.
Tale Of a Cobra Shooting Expedition
and Its Horror.

Tales Of tiger shooting In India are
common enough, but one does not hear
much about king cobra hunting. A.
Meryyn Smith tells how, accompanied
by two natives, he went to a spot
where pair of king cobras were
known to be. On arrival at the place
he was made to get under a basket,
the meshes of which were too small
for king cobra to put its head
through. While he was beneath this
basket one of the snakes came out and
was shot with arrows by natives. The
other cobra then appeared and endeav-
ored to overturn the coop. Describing
the incident, the writer says: The
terror Of that moment | cannot ex-
press. What If 1t should overturn the
basket! The strength of thirteen feet
OF muscle must be enormous, and IL
used In the right direction would soon
overcome my pull at the cord What
would then happen? Certain death for
me, l felt sure. Again the whiz of an
arrow and l saw gaping wound
it quilted its hold to look for this new
foe. Fixing my knee on the cord,
now placed the muzzle of my gun Just
through one of the square openings
In the basket, and, aiming at the hood,
fired both barrels in rapid succession,
and had the satisfaction of seeing the
horrid brute fling up the leaves and
dust in its death throes."
Mr.. Smith says in his recently pub
lished book: Snakes and hyenas are
strange pets, but strangest of all is a
full-grown tiger, and such a pet had
MAJ Mansell-Pleydell. 1t used to be
chained up just in front of the door
OF his bungalow. The major had
method of running up bills with local
tradesmen, but there was great diff
Guilty in getting payment, as none Of
the bill collectors was venturesome
enough to cross the guardian at the
door. 1t was great joke of the ma
jor's when asked to pay his bill to
reply: Have you sent your bill?
our man has never presented it at my
house Brutus, as the tiger was nam
ed, seemed to know what was re-
Quired OF him. When chained before
his masters door he would lie with his
head between his forepaws and watch
the gate. II a stranger entered he
would lift his head and breathe heav-
lily, and this was enough to scare the
most venturesome of bill collectors"
Arthur c. Woodhouse, a member Of
the Indian civil service, met his death
while tiger hunting near Rajahmun-
dry, southern India, recently. He shot
at and badly wounded a fine tiger
one night, which made of into the
Jungle. Next morning Mr.. Wood
house followed the trail. He came
across the tiger. apparently in dying
condition, and fired at him with
gun loaded with buckshot, but the
charge and shock, instead of killing
the animal outright, revived him.
Rushing at his foe, the beast bit him
twice near the left arm. The wound
ed man was carried by natives fifty
six miles on a litter to the nearest
doctor and died in few hours after
his arrival.

especially great when the greatest foes Of

CITIES LEARNING TO BE CLEAN
Free Baths Claiming Larger Attention
Than Ever Before and Growing
Rapidly.


Cleanliness is next to godliness,"
is familiar saying to which usually q
Biblical origin is ascribed.
Really, however, the phrase came
from one of John Wesley's sermons.
Its correctness is more widely ac-
knowledged today than ever before;
and many cities throughout the Unit
ed States are helping their inhabitants
to live better lives by helping them to
be clean-by establishing public baths
and bath houses.
1t Is only within the last fifteen
years, however, that these public
baths have become at all numerous;
and they are not nearly as plentiful
yet as they should be, and as they will
be.
Until 1890 there was only one public
bath in the United States that was
open all the year. 1t was in Boston.
The other public baths were accessi-
BILE only in summer.
They were beach baths and floating
baths only.
In 1889 DR.. Simon Barush, of New
York, brought the matter to public no.
uce, and large shower-bath estab-
lishment was opened there shortly af-
terward.
Since then a good deal of interest
has been developed; and in New York
and in Massachusetts laws have been
enacted providing for public baths.
Massachusetts was the first State to
pass such law; but it merely per
mits" such baths. The New York law
requires" them in cities of the first
and second classes.
Since 1890 cities have seen the value
of public bath houses, until now there
are thirty-four municipalities in the
United States operating 1876 baths,
thirty-eight of them open all the year.
Even since these statistics were col
lected other cities have opened or
prepared to open baths.
Besides those owned by cities, there
are eleven baths owned by private con-
Germs or corporations open to the pub
lie at low rates.
Experience shows that the shower
bath is the best for public service, and
baths of that kind are now being in
stalled in many towns.
Pool or swimming baths are also
found advantageous. Tub baths alone
are tabooed as wasteful and requiring
too much time for operation.
At present New York has floating
baths mostly. and they are open only
In summer. But all-the-year-round
baths are being put up in various
parts of the city.
Perhaps in time New Workers may
be as clean as the Romans in the days
of the great empire.

THE WILD DOGS OF INDIA
Very Cunning, Very Sly and Very
Seldom Shot by Huntsmen.

Very Cunning, Very Sly and Very
Seldom Shot by Huntsmen.
Mrs. Nora Gardner describes an ex-
perience while hunting big game in
the central portion of India as fol-
lows: I'VE had been shooting for
some months, and up TO certain date
had had very good luck. Tigers and
other beasts we're all plentiful. and
our bag was a good one Suddenly
our luck changed. Blank day fol-
lowed blank day-not because we had
missed easy shots or had to reproach
ourselves for losing wounded beasts;
but simply that we had seen nothing
In the snaps of wild animal to
shoot. Pachmark. the hot-weather
station of these parts, was just above
us, SO my husband and I, with n few
servants and baggage-coolies, started
to climb up the hill. He and | were
riding little in front, when he drew
my attention to a number of kites and
vultures circling in the air just ahead.
Here this, of course. meant carrion or
a dying beast of some kind, and we
sent on syce' to see what 1t was.
The man came creeping back on all
fours. Wild dog, sahib! Wild dog!'
he said.
MY husband got his rife as quickly
as possible. He crept forward and
suddenly came on the pack making
off nearly 900 yards away. TIE took
hurried shot at the last in the pack
and missed. The rest galloped off to
the right, the one he had aimed at
going to the left. While we were be-
moaning our luck the 'syce' touched
my husband. Look, sahib he comes
back!' and, sure enough. away to the
right, we saw the dog going back to
join the pack. How he crossed the
track without our seeing him is
mystery. He was already 200 yards
of. My husband made a most bril-
liant shot, and got the dog just as 1t
was crossing the bank to the river
wild dogs are not only very shy,
but very cunning, and very seldom
shot. They do an immense amount
Of damage. AS soon as a pack takes
possession Of a jungle everything else
leaves it. Even a tiger will go II he
smells wild dog. This accounted for
our recent bad luck and the little
game we had seen lately. The one we
got was a young dog, rather like a
fox, but with longer legs and body,
thinner brush and rounder ears.
There were six in the pack and they
were devouring a young buck they
had just pulled down"

= Dog Finds Money For His Living.

Press Clark of Wilkesbarre, Pa,
owns fine bull dog which is earn
ing his own living by finding money.
For some time he has almost daily
been carrying to his master pennies
and nickels, and an occasional piece
Of silver that he has found in the
street. On two occasions he has found
bills, one of 50, and one of ST.
But he has topped all previous
achievements this week by finding a
check for $125 and recognizing it's
value, and his proud master now be-
lieves that the animals money finding
capacity is unlimited. He expects him
to bring home bonds and securities
at the rate he is progressing.
Clark was out walking the other
day when the dog dashed up to him
and laid a slip of paper at his feet,
barking joyously. Clark paid no at
tention to it and walked on. The dog
again laid it at his feet and barked
Clark still paid no attention and the
third time the dog dashed in front of
him, placed the wet and dirty piece
of paper at his feet and seized his
trousers. This time Clark picked up
the paper, while the dog showed his
joy by barking and wagging his tail
furiously.
Clark found it was a check for $125
made out to c. d. Simpson of Scran-
ton. He called up Mr.. Simpson by
telephone. The latter said he had
been visiting friends the day before
on the street where the dog found
the check, but that he had no idea
where he had lost it.-New York Sun.
