 In this vast region, so densely peopled that the specter of famine is not far away even in years of plenty. no meats are imported except for European con- sumption.

In one respect, however, religious preju- dice is blessing to the country. It is to the lasting shame of some modern nations that they destroy thousands of barbarous or semi-civilized men and women by selling them poison in the form of alcoholic liquors; but they find no market for their fiery gin and forty rod among the hundreds of mill lions of East Indians. because Islam throughout the world is a vast teetotal society, and among the Hindoos to touch liquor is a sign of the lowest caste. Thus certain religions which We do not include among the highest forms have happily reared an insur- mountable barrier against one of the worst evils of western civilization-Cy- rus C.

The thought has never occurred to the 35.OOO. 900 Indian peasantry now suffering from hunger that the cattle would have been a food resource to tide them over the months of crop failure. They have plenty of cattle. Among all the animals of India tEe various breeds of horned and humDed cattle hold the first place. They are the draft animals in the little field of the poorest peasant. All the transportation of the inland roads de- rends upon them. The household that has rot its COW is in :he direst poverty.

 It is probably fortunate that there existed at this time the very energetic. scholarly and able Kong Yo Wal. whom the emperor had taken into his confi- dence. Kong had been educated abroad. He was master of political history. and an adept in statecraft. His brilliant mind foresaw the dissou- tion of the empire which would follow the war with Japan.

that the Boer commander-in-chief,

that President Kruger's wife and Gen.

Crasshoppers in the "DeIta."

Farmers in the Delta" in Missis-

problem is becoming real serious in
their section. The insects have
swooped down on their cotton and
corn fields by the millions, and all
efforts to get rid of them have so
far failed. Where one is killed it looks
like a score takes its place, and the
planters are at their wits end. They
have tried dosing them on coal oil,
paris green and a little of everything
in the poison line, but the hoppers
seem to fatten and thrive on it. The
latest engine of destruction tried on
them is a tarred cloth 16 feet long by
5 feet wide, to which a mule is hitched.
and it is thus dragged over the hop
per-infested fields. Every bug that
butts against the tarred cloth sticks
closer than a brother, and, though
bushels of them are destroyed in this
way, the number does not seem TIC
diminish, and in some places the crops
have been eaten up.
