You are not much safer in a large city khan in the country, I was stabbed by a would-be robber almost in the heart of Bombay, and a poisonous spider bit me in one of the parks of Calcutta and mused nae a anonth's visit to the hospital.

I then dropped out, opened the door and called to my friend, and Ito seized a double-barrelled shotgun and pass- ed through the hails until he found the serpent on the other side of the house. Ire had given up seeking an entrance. by the windows, and was nimuntiug to the roof when a charge of buckshot fired at close range through the screen out him almost in two. No one was at all excited ; the inci- dent seemed to haae no more weight than the visit of a bat. A week later two of the servants accom- panied me on a hoot around the neighbor- hood after birds. Neither was armed, and both were barefooted,• barelegged and bare- armed. In the manner ground along the creek I shot several birds of the snipe species, and we were about to cross it when one of the natives, who was in the lead and following a path, halted, turned back, and quietly said : "We had better go another way, sahib." "But why ?" "Because the crocodile might do us harm." I advanced to the spot where he had halt- ed, .and at once made out a huge saurian ly- ing in the creek right across the path, and evidently waiting for some one to cross. This was not over a quarter of a n?i1e from the bungalow, and the saurian had evident- ly come clown the creek froin a small lake about two miles away. I made ready to fire at him, but one of the natives touched my arm and respectfully said : " Please don't, sahib. If you angor him he will bring others to make us trouble." "But he ought to be driven away or kill- ed." "Yes, but when there are a thousand more in the lake what would you gain ?" He seemed so earnest about it that t turn- ed away. That night a number of the ser- vants crossed the creek to attend some. sort of a party, and in the morning a young_man was missing. After considerable inquiry it was decided that the crocodile had seized himas he attempted to cross the path. I said to the (cativo who had restrained my fire: A " Now you see what you did. Had I kill- ed the reptile the young man would have been with us this morning. " Ab, sahib, but you ' might not have killed him, and then he would : have taken two of us. I can soon find another young man." About sic.miles below Pattie, on the Gau- ges,' in the Bengalee district, a couple of English officers with whom I was acquainted had a shooting box, and I went up with a party to enjoy some sport. It was a wild strip of country along the stream, .and al- e fact did not : though so near to a g render game any less abundant. A dozen tigers, three or four panthers, and t SCORE OF HYENAS had been bagged there within two years; but it still' remained a favorite lurking ground for big game. As a matter of curiosity I hunted up the returns, made' to the Government from this place, and found that the average of natives : bitten by ser- pents, devoured by crocodiles, or :slain by wild beasts was over three per week the year I round. These were the figures reported, but only one loss in three is reported by the natives, as they persist in believing that the blanks sent in by' officials' ' are somehow connected with taxation or official surveil- ; lance. Two days before we 'started a native came in to the civil authorities to report a case. He said : "We were going to see our father and LATEST BY CABLE. mother at Mugador (a village seven miles away), mybrother and I. SVe were in a path crossing the forest to save distance.

These are only a few examples of the dif- ference in fruit in regard to' the necessity of more or less sugar to develop flavor and texture. Of. course, in selecting your fruit and the method of putting it up, you must take into consideration how you are going to use it. Should you, as many people do, use the preserved fruits and cereals in large quantities, rather than use animal food, then the amount of sugar added to the fruit must be only enough to give it the required flavor. When this is the case the fruits that require the least sugar should be selected; on no account try strawberries. is largely due to hints 'tldiciously dropped ed by Bismarck's journalistic jackals to the effect that the ex -Chancellor would have A Palace of Silence, There is in New York, upon one of the most fashionable thoroughfares, a utopia - cent house, e. veritable palace, which can never be looked et by the sentimental wo. man without a tear coming to her eye be- cause of the story attached to it. It was designed and built by one of the richest men in New York—the head of an old Datch family—for the woman be loved. Throughout the whole house, which might have been called "The House Beautiful," were the colors, furnishiugs, ornaments and dainty touches that were the young bride's Meta The ball room, in which she eepeet- ed to trip to many merry measures, was walled and celled in maneecolored marbles; but the lover himself directed the building ofthe e o rt e cohere under which her car - P riage was to roll, so that, stepping out, she would not bo touched by a drop of rain or a flake of snow. Everything was ready;; the horses were pawing in the stable, wait- ing for the day to come when they, would carry their new mistress out ; the coachman and the footman bad their big, whiterosettes at baud to wear WI the wedding day ; the house was full of fragrance, for beautiful flowers were maseed to please the coming uhistress, and everything seemed to be in harmony with all this thoughtful, loving care; for the sun shone bright, and it was somebody's wedding day. Yes; but it wasn't an earthily wedding, for when, with quick footsteps, her mother went to wake the expectant bride, she'. found her dead. The last kiss she had given bad been to her lover the night before. The lint kiee he ever gave any bureau being he gave to her as she rested in her eoifin. But he lives on in the beautiful House and does with his great fartwie a deal of good, rill in the name of the woman he loved.

The river swarm- ed with crocodiles, and at the first splash I saw numbers of them hastening to the scene. Further down the bank men put out with boats as soon as possible, but before they could reach the people nineteen of them were pulled under by the saurians. On the very next day, while two men were crossing in a canoe, it was upset in sight of a thousand people and the mon devoured. Statistics returned from Patna gave the average victims of the crocodiles on twelve miles of river front at 140 per year, "with very many cases pre- stunably suppressed for various reasons." An Old Leper Hospital, Recent discussions on the subject of lepers and leper hospitals have directed attention to the Hospital of San Lazaro, which has ex- isted in Seville for over six hundred year`. It was founded by Ferdinand III., common - 1Y known as Saint Ferdinand, iwhen he took Seville from the Moors in. 1248, on• the site of an old castle, about a mile out of the town, which had belonged to two famous Moors called, Gasinio. In the fifteenth century, so rigorous was the decree ordering all who were attacked with this terrible disease to be removed to this institution, that several no- ble lepers, including two bishops, died with- in its walls. Even as late as the last cen- tury itwas the custom for four patients to visit Seville daily, begging on horseback. As lepers were not allowed to speak to the in- habitants, they attracted attention by means of .painted boards: The.. ancient Hospitalof St. Lazaro has undergone in its day many vicissitudes ; but thanks to the benevolence of indivduals, it is reported to be now in a flourishing condition, its patients, who num- ber from thirty to thirty-six, being tended by the sisters of St. Vincent de Paul.

Shakeapeare's Aphorism, No one bas contributed mare to the aph- oristic treasures of his country than Shake- speare, says a writer in -Macmillan s fffa,la- nize. In at least one instance betas supplied a saying upon what, though noticed else- where, had never reamed due noticein Eng- lish. The saying occurs in "Romeo and Juliet," where we are told that "Ho jests at scars who never felt awound." This goes to the very foundation of human sympathy as described by Aristotle, showing that it is only those who have sutferedwho can really feel for the suffering of others. Our cotmtrymen, as a race, have not been of sufficiently tender mood to trouble them- selves over this question enough to make it into a proverb ; it was left forentle Shakes- speare to fund then .a household word on sympathy and its true source. They havo been mostly content with sayings that have strengthened their natural hardness, such as "keep your breath to cool your own porridge," or (in the most modern form) "Paddle your own canoe." , The Hindus, however, have a couplet as pertiuet if not as poetical as the line from "Romeo," which may bo thus rendered : Whose heels havo never cracked in sunbaked fields How can ho know what pain my heel -crack yields: This is almost an equivalent of the truth conveyed in Dido's words : "We must suffer before we can learn to sympathize with suffering (Hand ignore mall, miseris succurrere disco)." Avoiding Poison' Vines. There need be no trouble in identifying the poison ivy in any of its forms. The hairy truuk will often serve us, but there are two other features which are of much more value. First let us remember that its leaves are al- ways grouped in threes whatever the out- lines of their more or less wavy margins. In some sections the plant is always called the "three -leaved ivy." Four things need to be committed to memory to insure safety against our poison- sumachs: First—The three -leaved ivy is dangerous. Second—The five -leaved is harmless. Third—Tho poison-sumachs have white berries. Fourth—No red -berried sumach is poison- rms. loth the poison ivy , and the poison er . tach, though unlike in appearance of icaage, have similar white berries growing in small slender clusters from the axile of the leaves. In all other sumachs the berries are red and in close bunches at the ends of the branches, and far from being dangerous, yield a frosty -looking acid which is most agreeable to the taste, and wholesome with- al. With these simple precepts fixed in the mind, no one deed fear the dangers of the thickets. Plenty of Exercise. High Priced Doctor—"You are now con- valescent, and all you need is exercise.
