21,7o7 DIE OF SNAKE BITE.
Record of a Single Year in India
Wild Beasts Kill 2O54.

The number of persons killed in
India in 1905 by wild beasts was
1854, as against 2157 in the previous
year, and the number of deaths re-
ported from snake bite (21,79) is
also little smaller than that of 1904.
A feature of the 1906 returns is
the increase in the number of deaths,
both Of human beings and cattle, at
tributed to leopards 1t is suggested
by writer in Baily's Magazine that
these beasts seek their prey more
readily than they used to do in the
neighborhood of villages. The fact
that more licenses to possess firearms
were held in 1906 than in the pre-
vious year may be noticed, but it has
long been recognized that it is i'm
possible to discover any relation be-
tween the number of firearms in ma
tive hands and the number of deaths
from wild beasts.
During 1905 more dangerous wild
beasts were killed than in 1904. The
Official figures are: Tigers, 1855;
leopards, 4S11; bears. 1926; wolves,
2016, and hyenas, 554. Well known
man-eating tigers were killed in sew
eral districts. A regular crusade
against wolves has been carried on in
parts Of the Central Provinces, where
these brutes are most numerous and
most troublesome.
To the success of the campaign no
doubt may be attributed the great
decrease in the number of persons
killed by wolves-in 1904, 244; in
1905, only 1853. Before diminishing
this subject it is worth noting that
the Bengal Government in September
last offered a special reward of RS
200 for a man-eating tiger which
killed seven persons last year in Coil.
kera Forest, Singbhum district. The
ordinary reward for a tiger is Rs. 40.

Avoiding the COMMONPLACE.


A young reporter was given an
assignment to write the obituary OF
prominent Western pioneer. He
wrote as follows:
Citizens OF this State will be very
much grieved to learn that Uncle JOS
eph Hawley has been gathered to his
fathers. He had been confined to his
bed for three months with a serious
ailment, and while hope was enter
taiped that he would recover, his
death was not altogether unexpected.
Thus is another well-known pio-
neer the victim of the grim reaper.
and another sturdy spirit has crossed
the range"
The city editor demonstrated, with
more than ordinary patience, you
better write this over again. my boy, "
he said. Don't use so many old ex-
presslons. Try to keep everything
new and up to date. Don't use so
many hackneyed phrases. Original
ity is what we went"
The young reporter seized upon his
task with avidity. Presently he APP
preached the city editors desk, and
breathlessly laid his second effort
upon it. This is what he had written:
Everybody will shed tears when
they hear that Josh Hawley has
joined his ancestors He has been
about all In for nearly three months.
and while a good many people kept
kidding themselves with the idea that
he would get well, II was cinch
he had to go.
