CASTE A BARRIER W INDIA
Snobbery Sifted Into Fanatical Relig
ious Faith Pale Description of s
Social Conditions.
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

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. If the missionaries and doc
tors didn't watch out their little arms

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.

IMPORTANT
DECISION 0
LIQUOR LI
SUPREME COURT SAYS GARY
REMONSTRANCE WAS GOOD
AND STEVE . 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

Popular Taste It Not Always for the
Best in Books, Plays or An
ecdotes. "It Is a regrettable fact," said a
speaker at a Republican banquet in
Fort Wayne, "that the most popular
men are not necessarily tht best mer,
the most popular hooks are not the
best books, and the most popular
plays are not the best plays.
"Even In anecdotes," continued the
speaker, "the public taste is bad. I'll

lic wants.
"A Bostonian was showing his two

older of the two little girls, carried

Bessie rose on tiptoe and reverently

marble drapery.
"As the Bostonian ' departed he
missed his golden-haired younger
daughter. Turnip g back, he saw her

drew herself up on her tiny toes and

Probably but a small percentage of
the fishermen who use flies strung

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

they cannot fail to see them clearly.
