A ?0m8 DABIHG ATTBIIPT. In. Bishop's Vain ates-t to leach muse, the forbidden City. The most adventuresome lad traveller of the past year is Miss Isabella ird, who is known to her personal friends as Mrs. Bishop. She has just returned to England from a dificult and dangerous journey, which she undertook to carry out a curious begin“ in her late husband's wilL Mr. B' op left a large sum of money to secure the establishment of a hospital " in one of the remote corners of the earth.” This gave his windows wide latitude with reference to the location of the hospital. She wished to found it in one of the outlying parts of civilization where the need of such an insti- tution was severely felt. She finally select- ed Cashmere, and went there to see to the building of the institution. Coming home she did not wish to follow the prosaic route through India, but she thou ht she wouldt to perform a feat which no white man been able to ac- complish since the days of the Hue and Gsbet In fact she had no less an ambition that to visit Lhassa, the capital of Thibet. The novelity and difficulty of the attempt fascin- ated her. Everybody told her she could not ossibiy succeed, but she saw no reason for lieviug that a woman would fail to achieve what men were unable to accomplish. As everybody expected, she was not able to carry out the daring enterprise, though she advanced a short distance into Thibet. In reference to her sext, however, the Thibetaus based their objections to her visiting Lhassa u a other grounds than those upon whice ey rohibit the advance of white travellers. I 'hen a white man comes too near the holy city of the Budhists, he is simply told to make 03‘ or it will be the worse for him. Mr. Bishop, however, in answer to her re nests for permission to advance, was told t at ccrtaiul she might go to Lhassa and not a ban would be raised to prevent her, but it was added that the chief official of every village through which she passed would certainly lose his good for permitting her to advance, and that every district that received her would be heavily fined for doing so. A tender- hearted woman was not likely to involve the Thibetans in such terrible trouble as this merely that she might gratify her curiosity and gasc upon the omes of the sacred city. She, therefore, retraced her steps, and passed through Beloccbistan to Persia and Armenia, meeting many adventures on the way, and winning a little reputation as an explorer, for she was the first European in modern times to visit'the sources of the Karun River, the scenery along which, she says, is magnificent. PREY OF THE JUNGLE. 22,970 People Killcdinu Year in. India by Snakes and Wild Beasts. The latest oliicial statistics from India show that in 1888 22,970 people were killed by snakes and wild beasts, as well as 76,- 271 cattle. Of the forms number 20,571 deaths were due to snuk bites, 975 to tigers 184 to leopards, 139 to wolves, 110 to bears 57 to clap ants, and the remainder to dogs, crocodiles, and other animals. The remark- able fact of these statistics is that, although every effort is being made to destroy snakes and other animals injurious to human life the mortality, both of persons and cattle, from thece causes of death is increasin . In 1888 20,709 Wild beasts were destroys and 511,948 snakes. The local Governments of India have just been consulted on the question whether nothing can be done to diminish the terrible mortality due to snake bites. The general opinion In India is that the efforts to reduce this mortality b offering rewards for snakes killed has fails , and is some localities has even stimulated the breeding of snakes. Some of the local Governments express the o inion that the most effective way to check t e evil will be to destroy the cover for the snakes near the villages and this experiment will be tried. The provinces most affected are Bengal, Ouhd, and the northwest pro- vmces. Suffering Austrian Children. Evidences of wretchedness caused by the the McKinley bill among the Austrain mother~of-pearl workmen have begun to ap- ppear in the Vienna schools. Of 294 boys and p 8 girls in a school in the Herzgasse. 70 boys and 42 girl are without shoes and 149 have no winter olothin . Of 616 pupils in a girls’ school 90 are wit out shoes and 112 without winter clothin. In a boys’ school 102 pupils wear no shoes at all, or only wooden those, and 102 are without winter garments In many other ublio schools frequented by workingmen’s ildrontheconditionofaiiairs Is not better. In the three schools mention- ed 858 pupils receive their lunchccns from the Central Society for Feeding Poor School Children. ‘The luncheons consists of a late of vegetables for each child. On holi aye, whlc are numerous in Roman Catholic Ans lria, these children get no luncheons at all, because as the society’s last re ort says, they can never get at home more t an dry bread euovgh for their breakfasts and suppers. This extreme poverty, resulting mostly from the stragauatiou iu the mother~of~pearl in- dustries, has been rendered acutely painful lfiy the unusual reverit ' of the weather. undreds of shooless an half~clothed child- ren are obliged to wade daily through snow and slush to and from schooL All the Vienna dailies are pnbllshinli appeals for help for the starving and freezing schoolboys and schoolgirls. Treasures Trove in Skye. There has been an interesting discovery of some treasure rove, in the shape of ve old coins in the island Skye, near the nor western coast of Scotland. When a few of the coins had been unearthed by the rabbits bur. rowing under a rock further search was made, and the result was the discoveay in a small cleft of 105 silver coins, thickly crust- ed with earth, but in afine state of reserve- tion. Some of the pieces are old Eng silver coins, minted about 900 years , in the time of Atheistane or Edward Con ease:- and sums appear t'ghbe the mintage casein; yuan . ey are nearty a t and light, alum:y the size of a modern English shilling.

Mr. Edward Buanquet, son of the well- known English banker, was bitten on Saturday by a rattlesnake while he was out shooting near Dayton, Florida. The snake struck him on the inside of the 1 above the ankle. Mr. Evelyn Walker, w c was with Mr Bosanquet, immediately applied his mouth to the wound, and endeavoured to suck out the poison. Then, havilfiktightly ban edthe wounded leg, Mr. W or rais~ edhis 'eud upon his shoulders and carried him to Dayton. It is feared, however, that all his gallant exertions to save the life of Mr. Bosanquet have proved of no avail. He is re rted to be in a hopeless condition. Mr. Wiiiolker himself is also seriously ill. .It seems that he had a slight sore on his hp, and absorbed some of the 1paoison into his system: On his arrival at yton, broken down with fatigue, he was named with an attack which resembled partial paralysis. On Sunda ' evenin , however, he was rather better, an it was lieved he was out of danger. Mr. Bosanqnet and Mr. Walker were spending the autumn and winter .at St. Augustine, Mr. Walker having his family with him. En land on Thursday. Mr. Bosanqnet died at aytcn short] after midnight in great agony. Mr. alker, however, is now considered out of danger. Tippu Tib Brings no Ivory. Tippu Tib reached Zanzipar the other day with no ivory, and only .a few raw porters in his caravan. He brought an immensepquantity of ivory as far as Unyamficmh‘e, dirtrict where porters are recruited for the journer to and from the coast. It happened to be in the hei h of the harvesting season, and Tippu ip could not get any porters. Au explorer, who happened to be at Tabora when Tippu Tib passed through there three years ago on his way to the coast wrote home that the great trader secured 2,000 ports-rs there to carr his ivory to the coast, it not being the ha it of Arab'ivor v and slave dealers in these days, when he owners of slave caravans hot for them by civilized govern~ ments’ to take to the coast the large slave caravans with which they start from Cen- tral Africa. Midway in their journey they hire porters.
