CASTE /. Iadia.

Caste, like terrible nightmare, is fas
tened upon the social lie Of India. Il
will take generations Of ciyilizing inAu-
ence to make these lethargic people real
ise that the system Is evil. II is not easy
for US TO understand II. The following
description, by gentleman in India,
shows little OF its peruicious working.
During severe famine. man, with hia
wife and child, applied to missionary
for help. They had come from distance,
and we're thin and pinched with hunger.
Food was at once brought, but, hungry as
they we're. they would not touch it, The
child was on the ground hunting for and
eating the raw rice that was scattered
about the door. Rice being given them,
they commenced 10 cook ii, but devoured
it before it was hall done. They would
not lose caste BY eating food prepared by
any one not Of their grade.
There are four principal castles. The
Brahmins, or priests, are the highest
They consider It beneath them to labor.
To tend cattle or milk COW would be
pollution. Formerly il low. caste person
touched them, even by accident, they
could kill him on the spot with impunity.
The people yield to them as superiors ~
matter Of course.
When high caste man came into
meeting, whole bench was vacated. the
occupants taking seats on the floor. The
natives usually travel third class on the
railway. These cars are SO crowded there
is no room 70 cit apart. This has ten.
dency to break down CASTE
The railway companies had difficulty in
them water to drink. A high
caste man could not drink water brought
by man Of lower caste. By employing
q high-caste man, oil can be supplied.
In their village each caste lives by him
self. Each has its own shops. or bdzsars.
Below the regular castles are tbs outcasts

The various restrictions. - Youlh's Ccnpa,a-

Origin Of "A One -Horss- Town" :"

Ths old virginians were singular city
builders, says Joaquin Miller in one Of
his letter. All cities OF the earth, except
the two theocracies Of Jerusalem and Salt
Lake city, as rule, took root at some
port But these Cavaliers" never seem to
have cared for boats or anything but their
horses to carry them. And so We find
Jefferson and Monroe away out here 100
miles from the nearest port. And to this
day these people literally live on horse
back. You can not get an old virginian
to lake the cars II the contemplated jour
ney can possibly be made on horseback.
And 80 1t is that all the towns you pass by
You see horses hitched to the cracks" up
and down the long struggling streets
Sometimes you see two dozen horses,
sometimes ten. sometimes six, sometimes
only very few. II depends on the size
and dignitysoi the town. Sometimes you
see only one horse. And so that is . one.
horse town. This is the origin Of the ex-
preston VA one. horse town"
