THE TEMPERANCE QUESTION IN
INDIA.

From an article by Bishop Hurst
under the above title in the July Cen
tury, we quote the following: "An
army surgeon of twenty years init
mate knowledge of India, in paper
read before the colonial temperance
congress in 1856, wrote thus:
Twenty years personal observa-
ton in the North Western provinces
has demonstrated to me the appall-
ing fact that the entire race of hered-
itary owners of the soil have all been
swept off by drink. Brandy or gov
eminent rum is what these poor
creatures take to when the taste has
been lighted up; and it is certainly
a subject for thoughtful considera-
ton, that, while we in this country
are rejoicing at the reduction of the
excise revenue III Britain, what are
we to say to the gradually increasing
liquor revenue in India
What wonder? A penny's worth
is all that is needed to intoxicate,
madden and wreck. Even if a poor
native has no money, he can manage
to get liquor. Hecan get it on credit,
and mortgage his few possessions if
so be he can quaff the Intoxicating
cup. Then the back door-that in
vention of the saloon-keeper in Great
Britain and the United States - is
made to do it's full work, if the pro-
prietors prevent ingress by the front
door.
"Now, dark as this picture is which
we have unwillingly been compelled
to draw, there is no real ground for
Encouragement. The gospel has
never been carried to a country with
out at the same time, if not earlier,
the transportation of the vices of the
land which sends the truth. Already
the missionaries are awake to the
danger. The English people are be-
coming aroused to it. The real rulers
of India do not hold council in Cal
cutta, or enact laws in the West
minister houses of Parliament, but
are the vast commonalty of the
British Isles-or, rather, are the whole
Anglo-Saxon race. India will be
conquered for Christ. 1t will be a
complete conquest = alike over the
vices which still grow, as tares among
the wheat, in Christian lands.'

THE HURRY OF LIFE.

Editor of the CALIFORNIAN Some
writer has said that every man has
within him a crazy streak. If this
be true, it may account for the many
queer freaks in society But what
ever one may think of this, it is a
wonder that society keepsits balance
as well, with so much worry, hurry,
and general excitement.
We meet friend upon the street,
and if we recognize him at all, it is
with a nod and jerk, and on we
pass. We go to our meals, seemingly
begrudging the time necessary for so
important a duty We sleep with
one eye open, and wonder why God
did not make the days longer. All
these things and many more, are
only fair samples of individual hurry,
that sometimes really appear as
though everybody was crazy.
Our railroad corporations work
with great impatience. They no
doubt desire to please the public, but
their haste is so indecent as to be
actually criminal Twenty FIVE miles
an hour was once sufficient speed, but
nothing now will answer short of
fifty or sixty, SO that the greater the
speed the greater the satisfaction
No one pretends to use good sense in
the matter, but it is go, though every
neck be broken Could one be blamed
St. Johnsbury Caledonian. [volume] (St. Johnsbury, Vt.) 1867-1919, 1889-07-11

for saying, that in this respect the
public was crazy? The plain fact is,
there is no business done in this
country requiring such reckless run
ming of trains. If there be an excuse
for such haste, it can only be in some
great emergency. Generally speak
ing, the idea that one of necessity
must work at lightning speed or not
at all, is purely fictitious.
Hurry in our public schools has be-
come great evil. Before young pu-
pills really know anything of the
elementary branches, they are hurried
into the higher studies, the nature of
which they have only the remotest
conception. Many students would
stand respectfully before the world
that do not now, if more time had
been used in learning the things most
needed. The result is, that when the
serious business of life begins, the
pupil learns to his sorrow, perhaps,
that the things he ought to know he
don't know much about. For this
state of things, the haste to crowd,
to force, and to learn everything at
once, we blame both parents and in
structOrs. This action is to the last
ing injury of the pupil, and is fraught
with poorpolicy and poorer common
sense.
We agree that enterprise is a great
blessing, but it should not be con-
founded with hurry and scramble.
This smash-and-jam way of doing
business is not the teaching of true
enterprise, but is the result of careless
thought. The haste to be rich, and
to outshine ones neighbors, has
robbed many a bank, brought dis
grace to character, and pain to the
heart 1t will do no harm then, to
exercise due deliberation in the affairs
of life, for by it will likely come profit
and honor. F.v.P.

AN INDIAN HORSE RACE.

From an article written and IL
Illustrated by Frederic Remington in
the July Century, we quote the fol-
lowing: IAN elderly Indian of great
dignity of presence steps into the
ring, and with a graceful movement
throws his long red blanket to the
ground and drops on his knees before
it, to receive the wagers of such as
desire to make them. Men walk up
and throw in silver dollars and every
sort of personal property magma
BILE. A Winchester rife and a large
nickel-plated Colts revolver are laid
on the grass near me by cowboy
and an Indian, and then each goes
away. 1t was a wager, and |
thought they might well have conf
dence in their acknowledgements
earth. Two ponies, tied head and
head were led aside and left, horse
against horse. No excitement SEEM
ed to prevail. Near me little half
Mexican Comanche boy began to
disrobe until he stood clad only in
breech-cloth. His father addressed
some whispered admonition and
then led up a roam pony, prancing
with impatience and evidently fully
conscious of the work cut out for
him that day. With a bound the
little fellow landed on the neck of the
pony only halfway up; but his toes
caught on the upper muscles OF the
pony's leg, and like a monkey he
clambered up and was in his seat
The pony was as bare as wild
horse, except for a bride, and Hoped
away with his graceful little rider
rock, but limp and unconcerned, and
as full of the motion of the horse as
the horses tail or any other part of
him.
A Kiowa, with loose hair and
great coarse face broke away from
the group and galloped up the prai-
RE until he stopped at what was to
be the starting-point, at the usual
distance of two arrow flights and a
pitch He was followed by half a
dozen ponies at an easy lope, bearing
their halfnaked jockeys. The Indian
spectators sat about on their ponies
as unmoved in countenance as oys-
tiers, being natural gamblers, and
cowboys whispered among them
selves.
That's the bay stallion there, said
one man to me, as he pointed to a
racer, and he's never been beaten.
It's his walk-Over, and I've got my
gun up on him with an Injun
1t was to be a flying start, and
they jOckeyed a good deal and could
not seem to get off. But presently a
puff of smoke came from the rifle held
aloft by the Kiowa starter, and his
horse reared. The report reached us,
and with a scurry the five ponies
came away from the scratch, follow
ed by a cloud of dust. The quirts
flew through the air at every jump.
The ponies punched and battered
away at a nameless rate, for the
quarter-race pony is quick of stride.
Nearer and nearer they came, the
riders lying low on their horses
necks, whipping and ky-yi-yi-ing.
The dust in their wake swept back
ward and upward, and with a rush
they came over the scratch, with the
roam pony ahead, and my little Mexi-
can fellow holding his quirt aloft,
and his little eyes swapping with the
event. He had beaten the invincible
bay stallion, the pride of this Co
manche tribe, and as he rode back to
his father his face had the settled
calm which nothing could penetrate,
and which beftted his dignity as
young runner"
