NORTHERN INDIA.

How the British Hold Upon the Land, Has
| Been Strengthened.
! On the LIST of January. 1892. by a great
feat of engineering, England once
more strengthened her hold upon
Northern India. The Khojal< tunnel
was then completed and opened for the
public traffic. It has been said that
England has her right hand upon the
Hindoo-Kush and her left hand upon
the Khojak, for by. means of the tun-
mel through the mountains she finds
herself within sixty level miles of Can
dahar. The political significance of the
undertaking is apparent at the first
glance; anything that facilitates the
movements of the troops stationed
in Northern India and the quick mobli-
cation of forces upon the frontier
strengthens the grasp of England's
two strong hands.
The station of New Chaman is at the
foot of a very steep grade, where the
track winds in and out through the
dead, bare hills before it plunges into
the side of the mountain. Within the
railway yards at New Chaman are sixty
miles of railway lines piled up in neat
ten-mile packets, with the necessary
sleepers and other accessories. ready at
a moments notice to carry the line
into Candahar itself, which could be
filled in a few days with the red coats
and white helmets of the empress of
India. New Chaman is a brand new
army post. A few trees have been
planted along the new-laid streets the
barracks and buildings are freshly
painted, and the vegetables are just be-
ginning to show in the public garden.
From the little station of Shela Bagh
at the eastern entrance of the tunnel,
SO steep is the gradient down to the
plain that one of the inspectors little
cars, which holds three or four people,
can coast the entire distance and swing
around the curves at the IA tie of thirty
miles an hour. 1t is an exciting coast !

tunnel out of the darkness into the
drlzzling sunshine, and down the long |
grades, creeping in some places. flying !

as the valley is gradually neared. Then |

felt it bis duty to rebuke the impersi-

was no. even authorized by bis own fac

The evils Of incompetence are SO
common that but little impression is
made upon the public mind when the
record of crimes and accidents is pub
lished as the direct result os drunken
ness. The consumption of alcoholic
beverages is now estimated as costing
over seven hundred millions year
in this country, and the deaths from
intemperance are placed at one hum
dred thousand annually. The increase
of the death rate keeps pace with the
increase of consumption, and when
we take into account the deaths that
are the indirect result, the figures are
alarming. To Illustrate, the regis
trar general of Great Britain reports
the deaths of three thousand infants
in one year as over laid or killed by
drunken mothers.
