Causes OF the Perennial starvation or MIL
Iions-Charity Of the Nstives--A Plan
for Utilizing Waste Lands,

Few persons IN this country are better
Informed about the starving millions OF
India than Frederick Booth-Tucker, COM
mander of the Salvation Army. Com
mander BOoth-Tucker was born in India
and has spent most OF his life there He
has studied the people not only from an
official viewpoint. but also from that or
the native. Io has looked at the stu
alton through English eyes. through East
Indian eyes. and through American eyes,
so that very little has escaped him. He
has been able to do this because If there
ever was a cosmopoite in blood as well
as feeling, the Commander is one.
During the French revolution one Of his
grcat-unclcs, the Count de Lautour. was
guillotinod, and his maternal grandfather
left France and settled in India.
The family established one Of the now
oldest banking houses in India. His pa
ternal ancestors were English. Some OF

be used by the poor people to whom it
had been allotted.
Freedom OF contract IS the curse OF
India. Tho money lender is king OF tho
situation. Nothing is much better known
by the friends or India, nor much moro
to be lamented than the bondage IN which
the usurer holds the bulk OF the peasant
population. The ordinary rates of inter-
est charged In the villages is from one
fourth to one-third Of the amount ad-
vanced. In other words, from - TO %
per cent. But IL is common for tho
money lender, with clients who are so
ignorant, and whose exigencles are so
urgent. to charge 80, 20. and even 10 per
cent.
Now, we propose to wipe out this evil
by means Of the village bank or Village
brotherhood known as the Rainciscn sys-
TEN In Germany and the Wolemborg IN
lfaly. We have embraced their idca and
adapted il to the particular conditions Of
India and the peculiar habits Of her poo

Some idea OF the extent Of its opera

BE- gathered from tho simple fact that
In few years the turnover I'm Germany

iaulters. BY this system we will be able
10 revolutionize the country and rescue

Never Caught Asleep.

The experts in the different branches
Of the sciences are now pretty well
agreed that there are several species
OF fish. reptiles and insects which
never sleep during their stay In this
world Among the fish 1t is now posi-
lively known that the pike, the salmon.
and the goldfnch never sleep at all.
Also that there are several others of
the fish kingdom that never sleep more
than a few minutes during a month.
and which take no rest whatever dur
ing the breeding season. There are
dozens Of species OF flies (mostly tropi-
caD which never indulge in slumber
and from three TO five species Of SER
pents on each of the continents which
the naturalists have never yet been
able to catch mapping Many years ago
a theory founded on the observations
of Leuwenhoek Sir John Lubbock. and
others was to the effect that the ant
Is another OF the insects that are never
caught asleep At that time $50 the
resyltt of these observations excited
considerable comment and IL was de-
clared to be "the only exception known
in the animal world 10 the general
rule that sleep is a necessary consequent
10 labor" More extended observa-
tions, however. have proved that there
are several exceptions TO the general
rule OF periodical slumber in the ami
NAL creation.

ceded il. The general public need
only 10 read their specious arguments
TO realize the fact that they are in
spired wholly in the interest OF these
trusts and are intended as apologies
for the congress which enacted the
law. They do not undertake to ex
plain why 1t was that under the vii.
son law, the farmers and laborers' dol.
lar would buy at their grocers eighteen
to twenty pounds OF sugar, or why 1t
is that under the present law the same

only sixteen pounds OF the same kind

Irs EFFECT Oh SUGAR.

Here is what the Kansas City Journ-
al, a stralghout Republican high tar
ifite, OF July 20, says about the effect
the Diugley tariff is having on the
price OF sugar stocks
That sugar trust stock has advanced
as 1t became apparent that the tariff
bill was approaching completion is un
deniable. That IL did advance with
leaps and bounds when the action OF
the conference became known is
equally true.
This is good Repu ublican authority,
and the same good authority says the
sugar trusts made clean profit out
OF their imported sugars OF twelve
million dollars when Mr.. Mckinley at
tached his John Hancock to the Ding
ley tariff bill. That's why your gro
Ger can now sell you only sixteen
pounds OF sugar Tor your dollar that
used to buy You fiom eighteen tC
twenty pounds.

Sir John Lubbock the naturalist, has
been experimenting to find out how
long the common ant would live If
kept out of harms way On Aug 8,
1888. an ant which had been thus kept
and tenderly cared for died at the age
of fifteen years. which is the greatest
age any species OF insect has yet been
known 20 attain. Another individual
OF the same species of ant Oormica
fusca) lived to the advanced age Of
thirteen years and the queen of an
other kind Qasius niger laid fertile
eggs after she had passed the age OF
nine years.
