First of all caste Is a question of birth, and there is no entry except by birth. A worker in a coal miüe may become a part owner thereof, and hit daughter marry a peer, and his grand son become a peer of England. No millions will enable the low caste Hin du to marry into a Brahman family or even to touch the hand, or throw his shadow on -the food of a Brahman in India. If a man is excommunicated by his caste fellows in India, no one of the caste will eat with him, accept water from his hand3 or marry him. His own wife will not touch him or speak with him. He is dead to his family. The barber even will not shave him, or cut his hair, or his toe nails. A Brahman clerk has been known to distribute legal . documents by throwing them down at the end of the village- street in which live his low caste brethren. Letter carriers have been known to refuse to enter the hcuses of, or to permit themselves to come Into personal contact with, those of a lower status than them selves. If one could picture to oneself so cial snobbery lifted Into a fanatical religious faith, It would be a pale de scription of the iron sub(V visions of caste In India. There is no patriotism, and can be none, in a country thus divided against Itself. Scribner'a Magazine. WHERE WE NEED PROTECTION Not Against the Autocrat, But the Outgrown Social Institu tion. It is not the autocrat, but the out grown social institution, against which socle' r requires protection. Not the legislature or the executive, but the constitution and the prevailing Judicial and administrative procedure, are in the way of progress; or rather, carry ing the analysis one step farther, our difficulties are not so much with the constitution and procedure, as with our own reluctance to amend and modern ize them. Knowledge and conviction have gone far ahead of existing me chanism and habit: The clash is none the less real because it is not between two distinct classes, between a ruling class and a revolting class, for exam ple; but rather between our owa selves of tradition and habit on tho one hand, and ourselves of the present environment and new standards. These conflicts with our own inherited tradi tions and habits are perhaps the most exasperating and tragic of all. Chinese and Vaccination. "Unless it is absolutely necessary I never like to get a Chinaman started on the vaccination game because ho never knows where to stop," said a missionary, "He fights against the initiation with all the stubbornness of his oriental nature, but once he be comes convinced of the efficacy of vaccine virus he goes on tho principle that you can't get too much of a good thing and wants a dose of it for every ill that besets him The Chinaman ,wbo has been once vaccinated wants It ione all over again every time he gets a bad headache. It Is pretty tough on Chinese children whose pa rents have formed the vaccination k&bit.

HORSE OF THE GOBI DESERT Animal Discovered by Prjevalsky Never Has Been Famed and May Be a Distinct Species. It is more difficult to domesticate the wild horse than it is to bring oth er species of wild animals under sub jection. Some years ago Prjevalsky, a Rus sian explorer, discovered a distinct wild horse in the Gobi desert, in the south cf Mongolia. A herd of 30 colts were captured and landed in Europe. Most of them were sent to Russia, but a few were shipped to the estate of the duke of Bedford, in England. They were ragged of coat and of awkward gait. All efforts to tame them have failed. They will not sub mit to man's rule and are therefore unserviceable. They become badly frightened when a man approaches nearer than two or three rods of them. The Russians claim that by methods of comparative anatomy and in other ways they have proved that the Gobi desert horse is a distinct species of the genus horse. Most naturalists have until now believed that the true wild horses with an unbroken line of wild ancestry were extinct. . It is the general opinion that the domestic horse of today was mainly derived from three wild species, which have been named the steppe, forest and plateau varieties. The gobi horse is a representative of the steppe variety. This horse in its wild state lives in the level districts and goes at night to the pasture lands and drinking places. At break of day it returns to the desert, where it rests until sunset. New York Herald. ANCIENT ISRAEL USED INK Writings of Bible Times Inscribed on Potsherds Have Been Found in Samaria. "That the ancient Israelites htA a cheap and easy method of sending writ ten messages which was in fairly com mon use is now an established fact," said George A. Reisner, assistant pro fessor of Egyptology at Harvard, who for the last fourteen years has been conducting excavations in Egypt and Palestine. Professor Reisner just re turned on the Campania. "We were excavating in Samaria, once capital of tha v orthern kingdom of Israel, in 1908, when we came upon the palace of the Israelite kings. Last summer we found on the floor of one of the chambers of the palace a number of potsherds and on these shards were written messages; they related to tithes or taxes paid to the king, and were written in an ink made of pure carbon or lampblack. These, perhaps, are the earliest specimens of Israelite work contemporaneous ' with the Bible. They were written in the reign of King Ahab." New York Evening Post. Precocious Infant. William Lyon Phelps tells this Btory about Robert Louis Stevenson, as Il lustrating the cosmopolitanism of Russian character, which Professor Phelps says is accountable, in a measure, for the international effect and influence of Russian novels. Stevenson, writing from Mentone to his mother, 7 January, 1874, said: "We have two little Russian girls, with the youngest of whom, a little polyglot button of a three-year-old, 1 had the most laughable scene at lunch today. . . . She said some thing in Italian wh'ch made everybody laugh very much ... after some examination, she announced emphat ically to the whole table, In German, that I was a madchen. . . .' This hasty conclusion as to my 6ex she was led afterward to revise ... but her opinion . . . was announced In a language quite unknown to me, and probably Russian. To complete the scroll of her accomplishments ... she said good-by to me in very commendable English." Three days later, Stevenson added, "The little Russian kid is only two and a half; she speaks tlx languages.' Economy In Smoke Prevention. After remarking that there can be no hope of the general adoption of means to prevent the fouling of the air of great cities with factory smoke unless It can be demonstrated that the adop tion of such means will result in the saving of money to the makers of the smoke, Prof. J. A. Switzer of the Uni versity of Tennessee records the result of experiments which he haß made with smoke consumers based on tbe principle of injecting, with steam-jeta, fresh air into the furnaces whenever fresh fuel is put upon the fires. He finds that the claim that such appara tus Increases the efficiency of the boil ers by increasing the evaporation of the water is well founded, and that there is a real economy in their use.

FLEMING MUST PAY THE COSTS. W. H. MATTHEWN CASE Plymouth Attorney Scores Great Vic tory Oyer Best Lawyers of the State Affects All Re monstrances On March 31 the Supreme court of Indiana handed down an opinion whih will affect all remonstances, not only on liquor questions but also on ditch es, roads and all similar cases. The decision was a victory for the Gary remonstance. against saloons in that city, and was carried to a suc cessful conclusion by attorney W. II. Matthew of this city and Mr. 0. J. Bruce of Crown Point. Every point at issue was decided against Steve Fleming and the other saloon keepers who appealed from the decision of the commissioners finding the remon strance good. Mr. Fleming will have the costs, several thousands of dol lars, to pay. The important point of the decision was that hereafter it will compel ap plicants for saloon license who con tend that signers of a remonstrance are not legal voters, to point out speifically in their complaint in what particular the signers are not legal voters. Mr. Matthew contended that a sworn affidavit that the signers were not legal voters and therefore not qualified to sign a remonstrance, was not good, but that snch an affi davit should state wherein the voters were not qualified. Tn this the Sup reme court sustained him. In their opinion they say: (1) In an appeal-on a Nicholson remonstrance in the superior court, a change of venue from the county is allowahle. (2) It is not error to compel the applicant for a license to make his pleading charging some signers of the petition not being local voters more specific by alleging the qualification which is lacking for if he does not know the lacking qualification he does not know him not to be a voter. (3) It was not error to compel the appliant to make his pleading more specific by stating the names of the persons he alleged obtained signers to the petition by false and fraudulant representations. The Gary remonstrance is perhaps the most famous ever tried - in the state and it was during this case that Mr. Matthew has made himself famous as the most skilled lawyer in the state on the liquor laws. In this case, with Mr. Bruce, he had to battle against such great legal lights as Leonard & Mannix of Ft. Wavne, e -7 who were Steve Fleming's attorneys; ex-Supreme court Justice John . H. Gillett of Hammond, Geo. Barden, Miller & Manlove, and Mr. Carver of Gary, who represented the Gary sa ?oonkeepers. On Sunday morning Mr. Matthew receievd a very laconic letter , from Mr. Leonard. It contained only a single word: 5 Damn." The Gary case, was begun in 1908. The contention of the saloonkeepers was that the remonstrance was secur ed by fraud and misrepresentation. The first round of the fight occurred in a four weeks' trial before the county commissioners of Lake county where fourteen applicants for license were turned down on account of the remonstrance. An appeal was taken to the suprior. court at Hammond, where the appeal was r dismissed by the judge on motion of the remon strants. ' Later Steve Fleming, who had two places in Gary, applied for license but was turned down by the board of commissioners. He applealed to the superior court and took a change of venue from the, judge. The re monstrants then took a change of venue from thje county and the case was sent to Valparaiso. This right of a change of venue was objected to by the Fleming attorneys and this was one point decided in favor of the remonstrants' by the supreme court. In Valparaiso the cae was tried before Jude Tuthil, the matter oc- pupvin? six weeks of time. Prior to this trial tlie election returns had been abstracted from the files of the county, clerk's office and it be came necessary to have the legisla tive reference libraian come from Indianapolis, brimiing with him some documents fron the basement of the Pratt-Elkhart is the quietest, simplest and most powerful car in the ' 40" class. , They are in use today in over half the States in the Union.

"Even In anecdotes," continued the speaker, "the public taste is bad. I'll tell ycu the kind of anecdote the pub lic wants. "A Bostonian was showing his two little girls through the poets' corner In Westminster abbey. Bessie, the older of the two little girls, carried a rose in her hand. When ihey came to the marble effigy of Longfellow, Bessie rose on tiptoe and reverently placed her rose in a fold of the poet's marble drapery. "As the Bostonian ' departed he missed his golden-haired younger daughter. Turnip g back, he saw her still lingering .before Longfellow's bust. Then as he regarded her, she drew herself up on her tiny toes and placed something that glittered be side her sister's red rose. And, smil ing happily, she ran to her father. "What were you doing, dear one? the Bostonian asked. " 'Bessie had a rose and I hadn't nuffing,' said the little golden ?halred darling, 'so I hit off one of my curls and gave LIr.

Probably but a small percentage of the fishermen who use flies strung with fine transparent "catgut" are aware that the almost unbreakable substance that holds the hooks against the fiercest struggles of the struck fisb comes from silk worms. The principal center of the manufac ture of this kind of catgfit is the island of Proclda, in the Bay of Naples, but most of the silk worms employed are raised near Terre Annunziata, at the foot of Vesuvius. The caterpillars are killed just as they are about to begin the spinning, of cocoons, the silk glands are removed and subjected to a process of pickling, which Is a secret of the trade, and afterward the threads are carefully drawn out by skilled workers mostly women. The length of the thread varies . from a foot to nearly 20 Inches. Scientific American. . v Need of Ideals.
