The cleanest, brightest safest and really,
in the long run, the cheapest and best light
for use in the family residence, is the incan.

be safer. A few days ago prominent gem
tleman of Honolulu came rushing down to

"Give me figures for wiring my house, and
want it done at once no more lamps for me.
Last night lamp tipped over and it came
30 near setting fire to the house and burning
my children and take no more risks"
This is the sentiment of quite number in

ENGLAND'S INDIAN ARMY
or MEMBERS NOW AND
IN MUTINN TIMES.
British Troops Amount TO $4,000 Men
Native Troops Number l65,44i-
Value of Native Troops Well Led.

The uneasiness felt i'm England with
regard to affairs in India lends much
interest to an article in the current
number of Blacl<wood's under the Ii
tie of "rhe Native Army OF India"
SAYS the Washington Star. The SIC
of the army, it's divisions. the soldiery
characteristics of the different tribes
represented, and the security of the
comparatively small number of Eng
lishmen living in the country, all are
touched upon.
\ comparison is made between the
conditions of forty years ago and the
conditions Of today, In 1887 there
wcr;. in india $4,000 British and 34S,-
600 native troops. the former handling
276 field guns. and the latter 24s. me
natives in arms then stood to 70
whites as ten to one. and We're al
most equal in the matter of artillery.
Today the proportions are $4,000 Brit
ish with SO batteries of artillery of six
guns each, and. including the imperi-
al service troops, 10000 natives and
II batteries. So that now the natives
in arms stand to the whites as only
PA to +, while the artillery in sthe
hands of the natives is only one-siXth
of all in the country. 1t is thus to be
seen that the whites in the time stated
have materially increased their pow
er. They have likewise, this author
believes, greatly benefited by the I'M
provements that have been made in
the management Of the whole militia
ry establishment of the colony, which
have simplifed the old arrangement
and invested the commander in chief
with more authority.
large need of praise is bestowed
upon the natives in arms. They are
described as good fighters and fun of
endurance. The Gurkhas, the Sil<hs,
the Dogras, and other tribes are mem
toned by name. and instances are cit
ed where in battle they proved them
selves worthy to stand by the side of
the pick of the British. Some have
dash, others patience, under fire, and
all have the qualities of closing with
an enemy whenever he appears.
But, as this author holds. the ma
tiveS need to be led. "When placed in
a commanding position he lacks self
reliance. the ready assumption of re-
sponsibility, the capacity for organi-
cation, the eagerness to assume the
initiative, all of which are essential
to leader of men. This fact was the
secret of the English success
against the Indian peoples while still
unconquered: it was equally the Sc.
cret of the failure of the Indian mu-
tiny. and it is the secret at once of the
strength and of the weakness of the
present military system"

BRITISH AFRICAN EMPIRE.

The Paris Soleil thus concludes Il
study of what it believes to be the
British ambition to found in Africa
an empire extending from Alexandria
to the Cape: so far, the Transvaal
and the Orange Free State have re-
sisted British absorption. But it is
certain that the two republics will
sooner or later be drawn into the orbit
of English domination undess they
find in Europe powerful and effective
support. The dream of English i'm
peralism from the Cape to Alexandria
is no longer a chimera. 1t becomes a
reality During the final years of the
century about to close England will
have succeeded in carving out for
herself in Africa, from end to end of
the continent an empire of which the
power of production and consumption
will equal, if not exceed, in a near flu
ture that of her Indian empire"

MlSSlSSlPP,'S NEW
ROAD LAW.
The New Road Law De
vides the Public Roads
Into Two Classes, FIRST
and SecOad.

Mississippi nov has a road
law which. II properly carried
into effect and II kept in effect
Tor a material length of time,
sill probably give the state a
system Of public roads superior
90 any u has ever had and per
haps superior 10 that Of ma
l0rity Of the Southern states.
The new road law divides the
public roads into two classes.
first and second. Each county
Is To- have a road commissioner
who Is To have thorough control
Of the working OF the roads by
the labor of his county liable to
road duty. The commissioner
- authorized to name the time
and place to be worked, and he
Is to be held responsible If eve
ry person who is liable to road
duty does not respond when
called upon by the overseers.
The overseers are Of two class
IS. each is responsible for the
roads under his supervision.
The commissioner is made Gus
todian of all animals. tools and
machinery necessary to the
proper working OF the roads.
and he is empowered to make
acquisitions upon the county
board of road commissioners
for funds when it is found nee.
essary to purchase machinery.
etc.
Those persons who are liable
TO road duty that do not re-
spond when called upon. can be
proceeded against. The road
law specifics the widths to
which the roads may be worked.
1t also provides that after all
the labor Obtainable has been
expended, and if the roads of
the county are not then in as
good condition as they should
be, the board of commissioners
IS empowered to levy a local
tax not exceeding one mill. for
road purposes, and then. if
deemed advisable, the compile
ton of the roads may be let out
by contract. There is no doubt
that good roads are OF great
value to the farmers who have
TO haul their products anywhere
up to a distance of seventy-five
miles to market, and the step
taken by Mississippi to secure a
system of good roads cannot be
appreciated near as fully by any
other class of citizens as il can
by those who are compelled to
make long and wearisome drives
over them in seeking the best
market for the products of their
lands--Mobile Register.
