Poverty In India.
From the Fortnightly Review.

From the Fortnghtly Review.
Poverty Is the most striking fact in In.
dia. In the streets of the cities the rich
are rarer than in the streets of East Lon
don. In the country the villages consist
of huts Of almost uniform smallness, and
the fields are worked by farmers. most OF
whom are too poor to do anything but
scratch the land.
In one city we went from house to house
among the poor. A common friend gained
us a welcome, and we were everywhere re.
ceived with courtesy. One house which we
visited was entered directly from the street
There was neither flooring, fireplace. win
dows, nor furniture A few embers were
burning on the mud floor. on which only il

few pots were standing against the walls

and as usual had not a book.
When his adversary carefully drew his
library from the pretty carpet bag and laid
them on the table E. looked astonished,
but quickly recovered his ready resources
and asked the justice to excuse him for a
few moments. He hurried to his home
stead, half a mile or SO away. and put his
old leather-bound Bible and histories into
grain sack and brought them to court
initiating his opponent in laying them be-
fore him on the table.
The evidence was introduced and the east
ern man. being for the plaintiff. made the
opening argument and read at length from
his text books. E made his character
istic speech in reply, closing by reading
law from his old Bible Just the reverse Of
that read by his opponent, and took his
seat. putting his Bible on the table.
His adversary reached over and picked It
up and seeing what 1t was eagerly address
ed the justice.

humbug and pettifogger. Why. sir. that Is

The old justice looked indignant and in

we git than the Bible?" He then decided
the case in favor Of the defendant.

statement OF the United States commercial

Department under date Of August g. as fol-
lows:
Still more unfortunate Is the condition
of the stonebreakers at Sachsendorf, pre-
pairing marble for the mills. There an i'm
mense number Of playing marbles is made,
and, as there has been a great scarcity of
water there for the past two years. the
mills have not been able to turn out by far
as many marbles as the stonebreakers have
furnished stones, and as consequence the
price for marble stones per 1000 has fallen
to Is or rs pfennigs 6 cents). with 10 pfen-
nigs e rs cents) off for outlays. So a
stonebreaker preparing marble stones, as
he can get more than $4,000 stones ready

concluded to raise the wages Of their EN-

their condition somewhat; that is, by pay
ing 10 pfennigs e 2-5 cents) more per 900
pencils. so that they will earn Is marks
($3.5O, instead of 13 marks $500, weekly.
This Is still too small a compensation, as
ing 1t.
Other kinds Of workmen earn still less in

most expert bead makers earn only from

cents per day, while one with family to
render aid makes l mark (23 cents) per day.
At Steinheid the makers of artificial eyes
earn about 10 marks C$2.3S) per week.
Nevertheless, these people would not ex-
change places with the slate pencil makers.
because the work Of the latter Is very tax
