pens that there is considerable los of
life as in tli recent cases Then
there Is a great hre and cry and lie
United States government znd other
powers are denounced for not sendinp
a lieet of warships o the sceue re
gardless of the fact hU the scehe of
the disturbances are always hundreds
of miles inland far from the coast and
navigable riveiw viV send a laud ior e
would only mean the addition of so
many more victims to the already lonj
list For the Tn ited States to scad a
force of men to the locality where the
last massacre occurred would be about
as risnaVlo as it would have been
for thelvuijrcoi Iraly to have ordered A
force to ma rob from Npw 1ork to Colo
rado where there weie a number of
Italians killed by a mo b u fjv months
since
The misFion ires are themselves
largely to blame for Ixdng in such an
exposed position The JhhiPse gov
ernment has repeatedly warned them
to -work only in partially civilized re
gions where they can be properly pro
tected But the progressive mission
ary does not want Ids field of labor lim
ited in the East and the consequences
are that many of them have gone into
a territory peopled largely by savages
who although they are under the rale
of the Emperor of China pay him but
slight -allegiance These savages are
continually breaking out into riotous
proceedings and the life of the officials
is made very wearisome especially
since it means that the viceroy is likely
to be shorn of his raiment and also his
head should any missionaries be killed
and the country from whence they
came make a very great noise over the
affair

Simultaneously rockets were fired in
to the tvo beasts Which set them in J
terrible commotion and they ran

lowing with fright The elephant was
turned squarely around by n second
rocket and was brought face to face
with his adversary Ho seised the
hind legs of the tiger with his trunk
and hurled the cat high into the air
Again he tried to trample upon the
tiger but the latter was too quick and
instead gouged out the eyes of the
great brute wdsich bellowed with pain
The elephant then rushed round the
inclosure seeking in vain for his enemy
and not iinding it dashed against the
bamboo railing demolishing it and in
cidentally killing two persons and in
juring others Then the maddened ani

Notwithstanding its tragic finale the
combat was loudly extolled by the na

A SUMMER RESORT INCIDENT
ThiuRS Are Kot Altvays Vhat They
Seem
They wore spending tbe summer in
tbe mountains and men were few The
little stout middle aged man seemed
to be the life of the hotel He was
everywhere attending to everything
He had a smile and a joke for every
body and had been particularly de
voted to the young girl from Chicago
-1 hate gloomy men she said I
like to see men bright and jolly and
cheerful livi you I think a mans bus
iness creeps into his manner to a con
siderable extent dont you
Urn well I dont know he said
It may but you cant always tell
I can she said cheerfully At
least I can generally come pretty close
to it Nov you take that funereal
solemn looking man that Ave see on the
j veranda every night He looks and
I acts as if he had lost his last friend and
never expected to have another He is
somber in his dressing too His man
ner sliows how seriously he looks at
life and if an observing person cant
tell exactly what his business is she
ought to be able to getomewhere near
it anyway
What should you think he was
An undertaker or a tombstone man
ufacturer or a divorce lawyer or pos
sibly a heavy tragedian
Well he isnt any one of them
Do you know him What is he
she asked eagerly
He is a professional humorist
Dear me how surprising Now I
should have thought that might have
been your business but certainly not
bis What is your business
Oh I am an undertaker

Spontaneous Fires
Lampblack has been known to take
fire spontaneously
Oiled or greasy rags have been seen
to blaze up in a few minutes after hav
ing been thrown on the floor
Dried rubbish exposed to the beat of
the suns rays has been seen to catch
fire under circumstances that rendered
any other cause impossible
The suns rays focused through a win
dow pane on a plank in the floor con
taining pine sap have been known to
set it on fire
Sawdust used for cleaning floors or
absorbing spilled oil and varnish should
be removed from the building
Sawdust accumulations around jour
nals of machinery are prolific sources
of fires
Matches in the pockets of cast off
clothing are dangerous
Varnish and turpentine cans placed
33 near the stove in cold weather are
Sable to explode and catch fire
Car Conductors for Charity
The women of Rome Ga hit upon
a novel and very successful expedient
of raising funds for a local church
They received tbe use of the cars of an
electric railroad company for a day
and then upon the occasion of a Ma
sonic celebration which attracted thou
sands of visitors they acted as conduc
tors and raked in the nickels The
idea
Is spreading with a vengeance

sengers has mtub to do with it When
roads are in good condition accidents
involving loss of life or serious bodily
injury are rare when raids are in poor

The large systems of the country such
as the Xew York Central the Chicago

Central and the Southern Pacific spend
on an average in tbe settlement of dam
age suits about 150000 each ami the
smaller railway companies bring up

to passengers about 3000 or one killed
for every 2000000 carried and one in

False Teeth in Her lieftrt
The most remarkable museum in
New York City is that located on the
grounds of Bellevue Hospital Tt
abounds in anatomical curiosities ne
of tbe most interesting being the pre
served heart of a woman who died in
Bellevue Hospital under very peculiar
circumstances The woman suffered
from severe pains in the left side and
the physicians tried innumerable reme
dies without affording the patient any
relief whatever Day by day the pa
tients suffering increased until finally
she died AVhen a post mortem exam
ination was held it was found that the
woman had swallowed her false teeth
and the silver plate to which they were
attached They had gone from the
oesophagus into tbe pericardium and
breakng directly into the heart had
imbei led themselves in that organ
producing what the physicians termed
pericarditis of which she died The
organ as preserved -in the museum ex
hibits tbe silver plate with the teeth
attached bait buried in the heart
Indifferent to Smallpox
While traveling in India says a
writer my attendant came to my room
one morning with my earl coffee and
toast
Master got medicine he asked
No was the reply Why Sam
my
My wife got smallpox sahib
He said it in a most cool indifferent
manner as if the fact that his wife
smallpox was the most-commonplace
thing in the world That morn
ings lunch went to feed the hundreds
of Bensral crows and kites that hover
around the hotel If a man never knew
how to swear before going to India he
will soon learn after a weeks expe
rience with Hindoo servants
Trepanning Restores Speech
The day of the great Johnstown flood

sician in charge made a thorough ex
amination of the wound in his skull
Trepanning was decided on The op
eration was successfully performed a
bone button about the size of a half
dollar being removed He talks now
but his mind is a blank as to the hap
penings during the last seven years
Sousas Income Has Grown
A few years ago Sousas entire in
come was the 1200 he received as
manager of the United States Marine
Band Last year his royalties on bis
marches amounted to 25000 Mr
Sousa is a native of Washington where
he bas lived most of his life and he is
40 years of age His father was a mu
sician before him and his first appear
ance in public as a performer was
made when he was 10 years old
Remedies for Burns

ing catches fire is to smother the flame
with a blanket a coat or anj thin
made of wool If a person is
burned the clothing should be remover
by cutting great care being used no
to tear off the skin Dress the burn
immediately with either carron oil vas
eline or olive oil mixed with white oi
an egg Old linen cloths saturated
