Odd Death Certificates.

Certificates of death are not docu-
ments where one usually seeks for hu-
NOR, but there is frequently to he
found in them much of the unconscious
variety Here, for instance, is how
the cause of death is stated in the case
OF a labOrer:
Died from injuries received through
bull accidentally kneeling on his
chest"
The consideration shown for the feel
ings of the bull is u fine touch and
suggests grave questions on the moral
responsibility of the lower animals.
Again, man is stated to have died
from the effects of injuries received
after being run over by a railway
train in motion owing to mis,nder-
standing between deceased and an
engine driver" This description of a
rather ordinary railway casualty is ex.
cellent-London Express.

elephant and TIGER Enmity.

One Of the most interesting employ
ments of the elephant is in hunting t.
gers. From the lofty back of his ele.
plant, at a height which. increased by
the howdah. may be twelve or Fourteen
feet above the ground, the hunter can
take his aim at tiger with Il GOODNESS
that he would not possess If facing the
animal on terra firma. IL. as some.
times occurs, the tiger makes a leap
for the elephant he seldom succeeds in
attaining the man in the howdah. nj.
though the driver in his exposed posi-
ton Oh the elephants neck. is In great
er danger
There seems to be a natural enmity
between elephants and tigers. although
an elephant will not attack tiger IN
less cornered or compelled to do so by
the tigers own fault But then good
fighting elephant will if he can once
get his tusks to bear on his enemy
gore him to death or literally crush
him by kneeling on him 1t is said
that the mere presence of q dead tiger
will drive some elephants to fury

a dozen young ladies, Nina amongst
them, and several young men already
in evidence. The live wire of the
occasion was Ransom Lamar. He
suggested everything. Nina noted
that while the over officious brother
of her best friend, Helen, was active
in planning, he left the execution to
others. She observed, too, that he
cared less for provisions for the gen
eral comfort, than for arrangements
as conduced to features where his
own selfish likes or dislkes were con-
cerned.
Dale stock went up very high in
the estimation of Nina when a Sc
rious break in the program occurred.
A servant came running from the
house where messenger from Hill
side had just arrived. He handed
telegram to the self-appointed master
of ceremonies.
1.-THE Mischief uttered Ransom,
his nerve going to pieces-"every-
things spoiled"
"Spoiled-how? What?" scream
ed four young ladies at once.
Orchestra from the city won't ar
rive"
what? oh, dear! No music"
None, 1 reckon" portended Ran
some glumly. Train wrecked, no
body hurt, but all the instruments
smashed or burned up in the baggage
car"
There was a great babbling of sug-
gestion. Finally it was decided to
move the piano to the bower which
took place, the lordly Ransom Lamar
supervising, the others doing all the
work.
The group had just got resigned to
the disappointment of the moment
when a second disturbing element
was announced. This was more Sc
rious than the first. The supply cleo
trio current line had gone out Of com

Chinese lanterns" decided Ransom.
1--WE must not let Helen know Of
these mishaps," Nina said to Dale
''it would mar the whole evening for
her. Cannot something be done?"
81 have been thinking % replied
Dale slowly in fact l have an idea
that we may remedy the musical
and the light features. Won't you
come with me in the automobile,
Miss Wilson? Your company will
certainly inspire me to my best eff
forts to mend the situation for your
dear friend, Miss Lamar"
Within two hours Nina began to
get faint glimmer of the real worth
mess of the young man who spoke
little but knew how to act in an
emergency. She could not but adj
mire his modest but effective execu-
tive ability.
ct will be the electric light plant
first, he told her, very happy to have
her by his side.
He came out of the plant with a
radiantly hopeful face. The next
stop was a street corner in Hillside.
Nina stared wonderingly at a sight
of the itinerant street orchestra,
hating in their music and greeting
her escort as though he were some
cherished old friend. Dale was en-
gagged in a brief conversation with
the leader Of the little coterie.
"You surely bring good fortune"
he told Nina warmly, as they started
spinning on their way back to Winde-
mere. 81 am happy to tell you that
we shall have plenty of music, and
good music, too, and the electric
lighting just as planned
"Oh, am so glad" responded Nina
ioyfuIly-'' for dear Helen's sake, who
has counted so on all the pretty ar
rangements for perfect evening"
