Rudyard Kipling is TO Revisit
India.

Much interest viii be felt by the
public in the return of Rudyard Kip
ling to India. lie has just agreed
to furnish a regular contribution to
The Cosmopolitan Magazine for the
coming year, beginning his work
upon his return to India. India has
never been critically considered 10y
such a pen as Kipling's, and what he
will write for The Cosmopolitan will
attract the widest attention, both
here aud in England.
Perhaps the most beautiful series
of pictures ever presented of the
Rocky Mountains will be found in a
collection of fourteen original paint
ings, executed by Thomas Moran for
the May Cosmopolitan. To those
who have been in the Rockies, this
issue OF Ihe Cosmopolitan WILL be a
souvenir worthy of preservation. This
number contains fifty-two original
drawings by Thomas Moran, Oliver
Herford, Dan Beard, FL. NJ. Eaton,
+. G.. Atwood, F. O. Small, F. Liz,
j. H. Dolph, and Rosina Emmett
Sherwood, besides six reproductions
of famous recent works of art, and
forty other interesting Illustrations
ni~nety-eight in all. Though The
Cosmopolitan sells for but fifteen
cents, probably no magazine in the
world will present for May so great
a number of illustrations specially
designed for its pages by famous ILL.,
ustrators. The fiction in this number
is by F. Hopkinson Smith, Gustav
Kobbe, w. Clark Russell, Edgar w.
Nye and T. G. Crawford.

The development Of portions Of M
arid west is one of the marvels of this
age. Itsaems 10 have been clearly dem
onstrated that with a full and correct
use of the resources of the country there
is scarcely a section Of the now almost
u~uinhabited western desert regions that
may not be reclaimed. The water sup
ply from every source must be so used
as TO best benefit the most people. The
irrigation experts say this end cannot
possibly be attained as the western
states are at present constituted. The
trouble is mainly that many millions of
acres Of the best irrigable land in one
state depend for their natural water sup
ply on rivers that rise and run for the
greater part Of their length in another
state. The people of the latter state can
cut of the water supply and use or
waste it all in their W state, running
the land in the lower state. Orren NJ.
Donaldson, who proposes to wipe out
completely the present state and terri
torial lines and redivide the arid and
suihunid west and southwest in states
with boundaries in accord with the nat
ural contour Of the country and with
special reference 10 the requirements of
irrigation, says in The Irrigation Age:
There is hardly a boundary line in all
the west that is NOT, even when judged
by ordinary standards, in some way an
outrage on nature and a menace TO the
best interests Of the people. But it is as
a country dependent for its prosperity
ON irrigation that the west suffers its
most serious injury from this unhappy
system of division. Here il is not the
land that forms the basis of the state,
but the water, and if elsewhere il is
desirable that the state be founded on
contiguous land areas in the arid west
it is tenfold more important that the
state be based on undivided water sys-
TENS or drainage basins"
After saying why the entire drainage
area Of a stream or river system used for
irrigation should be under one state au-
thority Mr.. Donaldson submits a map
Of his plan Of repartitionmGnt, which
would give 20 states and territories
in place of the Is that now consti-
tute the western half of the country.
The boundaries are drawn almost wholly
upon natural lines, and the areas of the
proposed states are toleTabiy uniform.
Practically all Of the proposed divisions
would be entitled TO statehood. The
question is not a new one with the irri-
cation experts, and it has been brought
before congress in several ways in the
last few years.
Mr.. Donaldson admits that Of course
il is impossible 10 include the largest
rivers each in one irrigation distric: or
in one state. But with the exception of
the Missouri, Rio Grande, Colorado,
Columbia and Shoshone and of two
smaller rivers no stream in all the ir-
rigation country would, under this pro-
posed partition, flow from n political
division into another. Each river would
have its entire curse through the arid
region of the United States confined
within the limits of one state or terri
tory. The interstate division of the five
big rivers named could, he thinks, easily
be arranged.

The Nations Tribute.

Early in the year 1862, a detach-
ment of troops leaving the city where
my boyhood days were spent, en-
route to the front, had within its
ranks two brothers, lads of eighteen
and sixteen years. In the throng at
the station, gathered there for sad
farewells was their mother. They
walked about the platform, the boys
arms about her. She was trying to
be cheerful, but occasionally she
would disappear from their sight in
the crowd. and taking out her hand
kerch:sf, she would sob piteously,
then, drying her tears, she would
come back again, and standing un-
observed by them, she would feast
her eyes on her treasures, run her
fingers through their hair, then try
to arrange their uniform, and again
taking their arms, resume the walk.
The signal for the departure of the
train sounded like a death knelI to
those whose households had hitherto
been unbroken even for a day, and
no heart in that grief-stricaen multi
tude was burdened with a heavier
weight of sorrow than that of this
mother. She pillowed their heads
upon her breast and moistened their
locks with sparkling gems from eyes
afflicted with the torture OF fear; her
lips tremb.ed with agony as she en-
deagored to express words of counsel
and her heart huttered with painful
irregularity as she placed her hands
on their heads and asked God to
protect them. The last seen of her
that eyentful day was standing
ON the platform waving a tear-stained
handkerchief until her treasures dis
appeared from sight. Talk about
sacrifices,-al the wealth swallowed
up in the war was hardly a circum-
stance ir of Heaven com
pared with die tribute of that honest
old heart.
But her days of suffering and men-
anguish have long since ended.
Her life Of devotion to her country
and her God, and Of self-abnegation
her children has closed here. to
bloom IN a realm where the weary
are at blissful rest. From Thoughts
for Memorial Day by Gen. George
y. Loud in Home and CountrylNew

Success Of
South Cardinals Liquor System

Another South Carolina question
deserves a word in passing. 1t seems
to have been taken for granted
throughout the North that the South
Carolina State Dispensary system is
a dismal failure. The people of
South Carolina, outside Of the old
liquor interest and certain political
circles, have become almost unani-
nous in the opinion that the system
is a splendid success. Gov. Evans.
when in the legislature, was the chief
promoter Of the dispensary law, and
now that be is in the executive chair
he Is quite rs staunch in maintaining
and enforcing the system as was
Gov. Tillman. Railway road masters
and other men familiar with con
ditions throughout the state are en-
thusiastic IN their ccoun of the
good effects that the law has already
produced. Drunkenness and disor.
der have decreased to a remarkable
extent; and whereas the negro labor.
or was formerly accustomed TO spend
hrs weeks earnings ia carousinp on
Sunday, he Is nov spending more
upon his family, or else saving his
money to buy land. The ten or
twelve state dispensaries in the city
of Charleston, which have taken the
place Of scores or hundreds of saloons
are as openly conducted and as or
derry as any drugstore, and are alb
solutely closed at shutdown. The ef-
feet upon the quiet and order Of the
city has been too transforming to adj,
init Of any denial. Reports from
country towns throughout tie state.
are 70 the effect that the closing Of
tie old barse3ns ia favor of the new
dispensaFrs has been attended with
results that have converted almost
every good citizen to a belief in the
present system. In view of the
widely circulated reports in dispar-
agement Of the South Carolina dis.
Psnsaries, these facts ought to be
g'sena wide publicity. From ..Tlle

Complaints are being daily brought
in about the amount of unlawful fish
ing going on at Pickerel lake. The
attention of the Fish Warden. J. r.
Taylor, having been brought to the
matter, he is about to take steps to
put a stop to it and to bring the Of
Tenders to justice. This news will
be welcomed by all lovers of sport.
There is no need Of any one excusing
the actions of this class Of fishermen
OF the ground Of ignorance of the
law as they post scouts before max
ing a draw Of the seine. 1t is also
said that dynamite cartridges and gill
nets are used. Add to this the fact
that pike and pickerel under 6 inches
are being caught it is easy to be seen
that our beautiful lake is in a fair
way to be depopulated. Last season
some of our citizens induced the fish
commission to send a supply of game
fish 10 be placed in this lake. Now
of what use is such efforts if unlaw-
full fishing is to be carried on night
and day. 1t is unlawful to catch any
fish by any other means whatsoever
than by hook and line. 1t is unlaw-
full to sell OF offer for sale any food
fish. 1t is unlawful to kill, destroy
or have in possession any bass, pike
or pickerel under 8 inches in length.
These are the main features of the
law and must be respected. The
Fish Warden has ordered his depu-
ties to arrest any che caught violat-
ing any of the above and he will be
backed up by a fair minded public,
Pickerel lake with its glorious fishing
is the natural summer resort and
pleasure ground of our citizens, but
how long will it remain so if the
''fsh-hog" is allowed to have full
sway?

The smut in corn will reproduce it
self the next year if sown with seed. Ii
is a little remarkable that there should
have been so much smut last year in
view Of the character of the season. The
commonly received opinion is that wet
weather makes a smut year, but we are
bearing Of a great deal of smut in spite
of tho abnormal drought As has been
said, the seed of smutted corn will I'M
doubredly contain smut spores. Ii is
also true that the grolAl will contain
them and make a smutty crop the next
season, although perfectly clean seed is
procured.
The only way TO get rid of smut that
we know Of, says the Iowa Homestead,
is to put land that has grown a smutty
crop into some other crop than corn for
a year or two. Smut left ON the ground
will produce smut the mex year and in
increased quantity if the ground again
be put in corn. To get rid of it, there
fore, il is necessary to change the crop,
and the corn smut will then die ont be-
cause it cannot subsist ON any other
host than corn. BY cleaning the ground
in this way and then getting clean seed
smut can be eradicated.
