CHAPTER XII. BEFoGGED.

ed sails, spiced ropes, washed the decks,
smoked, and slept; yet he got very weary,
and one day proposed that, by way OF d.
version, We should make war on the rats
l asked how he would do it, seeing that we
had neither cats. traps, dogs, nor ferrets.
Il will make the beggars drown them
Selves he said
And then he disclosed his plan. Rats
he explained, cannot live without water
and this was the reason why there were so
many of them about the water-tanks where
they slsked their thirst by licking up the
dripptngs and droppings. But as there
was SO much less water drawn than form
erly, there were fewer drippings, and Nhe
rats being for that reason extremely dry,
water would make a splendid bait All
that was necessary would be to take buck
cts, put few inches of water at the bot
tom--miNed with molaSses TO prevent them
from jumping out-fix long strips of wood
on the sides, so balanced that when the
rats ran along them to get at the water
they would fall into the buckets.
VERY WELL" I said; try It. But In my
opinion the less you have to do with the
rats the better. II they have not got the
fever-l wish they hsd-they can give It"
''Oh, have no fear. l shall not take the
fever. never thought I should. Besides,
that storm must have blowRit all out Of
the ship"
So Tom arranged his buckets, put them
down in the hold near the water-tanks,
and awaited the result with great expecta-
tons.
An hour later he came up in great glee,
bringing one of his buckets.
Look herer' he exclaimed. And there's
more In the others"
In the bottom of the bucket was q with
ing mass OF rats. The water had not been
deep enough t. drown all of them, and the
survivors, entangled in the molasses, were
lighting desperately over the bodies of their
comrades.
Poor wretchesi" said Put them out
Of their misery, Tomr'

Race Problems.

The -. James Gazette in discussing the
difficulties toe Marquis OF Lansdowne. the
new Viceroy Of India, will have to epcoun.
ter says ono of tie greatest OF these difficult
ties Is Involved in the problem gbeiher
'the people OF India are not TO be elioNed
= share. or al least very much srger share

"But this is mere formula. The real
meaning OF the question is what VIC have
stated-namey, whether thAt one OF the
races which gained the sovereignty after The
collapse OF the Mogul Empi els oris rot to re-
sign the place II won by the qualities which
give rue in this world"
The Gezette next proceeds TO argue that
Indian home iulel II impractcabIe on account
OF the diversity Of creeds and the number OF
mutually hostile races in that country, and in
the course Of its argument lets drop the fol-
lowing significant language;

ties which have enabled II TO win IN the
struggle for rule. On the other Is body OF

have in minor degree-suier from def

ence has proved, TO those who would govern
IN Iudia. A century Of war, diplomacy, and
administration has proved that. Now, when
these colored gentlemen come forward and
ask for au equal SHIRE In rule-which is
what is meant by the demand for representa-
tive Institutions. local seli-governmeDt, and
so forth--it Will be necessary to remind them
OF these facts"
Exactv so. Human nature is human ma
ture the world over. The princes OF the
"ofr color" tribes and races who go TO Eng
land are regarded as curiosities, are even
made pets OF by royalty, and are allowed in
a certain way 10 govern their own people.
But when It comes TO "off color" law
makers aud rulers for white men, white
blood rebels in England as 1t does every
where else. and will continue to rebel 10 the
end OF time.
