When Mr. and Mrs. Macfarlane left
Melbourne last April they Travelled first
to Auckland and to the kings village
200 miles away, near Rotorua. A topic
of conversation among their friends was
1.-THE rumored issuance of a royal procla.
nation approving an alliance between
the princess and some Causa sian of he1
choice. The Macfarlanes determined to
visit the sulphurous mud geysers near
King Pauls abode, and incidentally to
learn all they could about Princess
Mary's matrimonial ambitions This is
the way Mrs. Macfarlane described their
reception:
''The king was very kind to u.s. He as
signed to our use little wicker house,
containing three rooms and six or seven
servants, who were always outside
ready to wait upon us when required
Our meals were prepared elsewhere and
brought to our little residence.
Naturally I expressed desire to see

India's Terrible Disasters

India seems to be undergoing a terrible
series of calamties. No sooner have we
had some slackening of news concerning
the plague and the famine than we hear
of earthquake and revolt.
1t is now six months since the plague in
India broke out. 1t first appeared in Poona,
and for three months the task of coping
with it was entrusted to the local native
municipalities. But, as they proved incom-
petent to deal with it, in the middle OF
March the government of India called for
volunteers from the Poona garrison. Over
900 officers and men came forward, and in
six weeks from the time they began oper-
ations they succeeded in completely stamp
ing out the epidemic-a record perform-
ance when it is remembered that the ac-
cepted duration of an epidemic Is from
seven 10 ten months. The government also
enlisted the services of even ladies' among
them Miss Rubertna Das who is the first
Indo-Portuguese woman doctor who has
commanded a successful practice In Poena.
Although in Poona alone more than 5000
persons have perished from the plague the
people have strongly objected to the incon-
venience to which they have been SUBJ
mtted by the necessary regulations. In
Bombay they celebrated the jubilee by re-
taliating on Mr.. Rand of the civil service,
who was president of the plague commit
tee, and Lieutenant Ayerst of the Indian
staff who were fired at and succumbed to
their njuries.-Sketch.

Dyes and Dyeing in Bengal

The Bengal government has issued an
interesting report on dyes and dyeing ir.
Bengal, by Mr.. N. Banerji, assistant d.
rector of land records and agriculture
in that province, from which it appears
that the INDUSTRY has almost wholly lost
its place in India owing to the use Of
cheap European dyes, which, though
not so fast as native dyes, are easily
used, are cheaper and more brilliant
Formerly Bengali wanting to wear
colored cloth was obliged to go to the
dyer, who alone knew the complicated
processes by which color could be pro-
duced from the native dyes; but now he
mixes European chemical powders for
himself and dips his cloth into a colored
solution of the powders, and it is soon
ready for use. Another reason assigned
by Mr.. Banerji for the decline of native
dyeirg is the want of ingenuity in the
production of colors and designs and q
dislike of changing old and crude pro-
cesses. Silk-dyeing is all but extinct
in most of the silk districts of Bengal,
and in almost every district cotton-dye-
ing has seriously declined. Certain
goods dyed in parts of Midapur still
command a sale, the colors being effec-
lively arranged, but the cloth is not
much worn on account of its light tex
ture; the Santipur embroidered cloth,
woven and dyed in Nadia is also in de-
mand,. but imported dyes are coming
into use even here.
Carpet-weaving and dyeing have suf-
fered also. At one time these formed a
fourishing industry in Rangpur, Patna,
Gaya and Muzaffarpur; but now only
a few families in these places prepare
the colored threads for weaving carpets.
The INDUSTRY still flourishes in one of the
quarters of Patna city, where colored
carpets to the value of half a lakh OF
rupees are produced annually. Wool
dyeing to nominal extent is carried on
in the Bhagalpur and Patna divisions,
and there is also an insignificant indus
try in dyeing wool, pith and other arti-
cles. Lac bangles and toys are made
and dyed in various places, but the de-
mand is small. Very little color-print-
ing is now done in Bengal, ard in India,
as in Great Britain, the old domestic
industries, with their crude methods.
cannot withstand the competition of the
factory with its trained and specialized
workers. Mr.. Benarji describes the
stuffs, processes and utensils of native
dyers ard color-printers the profits OF
the trade and the markets The report
has a number of excellent Illustrations.
