INDIA NEEDS MONEY, NOT GRAIN
A Missionary Says People Are Too
Poor to Buy Food That Is There.

Poor to Buy Food That Is There.
New York, May 10.-The commit
tee of 100, named by the Chamber OF
Commerce to help relieve India fam
inc sufferers, effected a permanent or
ganization yesterday by naming
William f. Dodge chairman, John c.
Brown treasurer and E. K. L. Gould
secretary. The Rev. Justin E. Alb
bott of the American board OF foreign
missions, recently from Bombay,
said he did not think it necessary to
send grain to the affected districts.
Money was what was needed There
was plenty of grain in the country,
he said but the great masses OF the
people had no money with which to
buy it.
Rossiter Johnson interrupted to
ask why the government should not
seize the grain and arrange for the
payment of it afterward In answer
DR.. Abbott said such a course would
result in general Generalization.
The India famine relief ship Quito,
specially chartered by the United
States government to convey to
Bombay the cargo of American corn
contributed by sympathizers of all
denominations, will sail to-day.

4 great many well-known men and women have been fond of different scents, as is historically known. tut it is hard to say how far their characters it ii with this new idea. For instance Nero loved the scent of roses, whether distilled or from the freshly cut flow CTS; Louis XIV. delighted in the per fume of orange flowers; while Rich elieu liked a different scent in each of the rooms; the Empress Josephine soaked her things in musk; and Ma poleon is said to have emptied whole bottle of eau-de-Cologne over his clothes when he was dressed; Victor Hugo rejoiced in wild flowers; Alex ander Dumas loved the towering myr- tie. and Charles Dickens adored white jasmine.

SOUTH AFRICAN LAWS.
There Life Is Valued at Less Tbss
 Diamonds.

klmberlev proper is built around q hole big enough to hold the entire white population of South Africa. This IS the excavation above the Kimber1ev mine, made when diamonds were mined from the surface. Nowadays shafts are sunk and levels formed
 whence c$e blue ground is blasted out and haaied to the surface in elevators The diamond is different from other precious stones, in that it is found in soft clay, while the amethyst. ruby and emerald are embedded in euart7 This makes the diamond easy to conceal in the mouth, nose, and by swallowing. and every year the De Beers company gets from the workmen s2 900 DOG worth of stolen goods. The inelina- ton to pilfer these stones is so intense that the crime is severely punished Tn South Africa the first commandment is Thou shalt not steal diamonds For having diamond found or his person that is not registered man will get 2f years Imprisonment. At Cape Town is a great convict station called tbe 'Breakwater,' where sons of prominent American families and English aris- focrats join in lockstep with Lascars and Kafiirs. They have all violated the first commandment. In Kimberley 1,000 negro conviets sort the diamonds under the muzzles of Martini rifles, They are kept in a separate place. The other black boys live in five-acre fn- closure known as the compound The De Beers company controls the dia- mond market of the world. Of the five mines-Kimberley, De Beers, Du Toits Pan Bullfontein, and Premier-t27e first two are situated in Kimberley and are the only ones worked now. The dia- monds produced in other parts of the world would not supply the city of Philadelphia The value of the South African product thus far has been $500 100000. The supply seems mex. haustible. ..-Ainsliess Magazine.

FINE COFFEE CROP.
ps.uliar way in Which the Natives
 Prepare the Bean.

coffee is exported from Puerto Rico Tn larger quantities than is any other native product, and while but little of # finds it's way into the American mar aet under the brand Puerto Rican, an immense quantity, according to Gen. Row stone, is sold here as genuine Mocha and Java. The average Puerto Rican eountryman, even though his children have neither shoes for their feet nor clothing for their backs, owns his private coffee patel. from which by occasional picdngs, he secures enough of the little round berries to keep tho family supplied. The exporting, how ever. is done by large growers--men who have plantations which cover hun dreds of acres, mostly upon the well drained mountain sides. The plants, or trees" as they are sometimes call cd are grown at intervals of from six fo eight feet, and after reaching a night of about five feet are trimmed off that no strength may be wasted in surplus foliage. The flowers, which are pure white ln color, have rich fra grance. Each berry contains two seeds, or beans, and as these are gathered before fully ripened, they are dried in the sun. It is common sight to see coffee drying on burlaps, or mats, in the city streets. The average Puerto Rican has little or no use for a coffee mill. He bakes his coffee until it is black, and then grinds it to a powder in 2 huge mortar. When ready fer use it closely resembles gunpowder; the beverage made from it looking very much like ink. Some of the natives since the close of the Spanish regime. nave learned to prepare a cup of eollee on the American plan. but these belong 10 a very small minority of the popula, sion.-Leslie.s Weekly.

SABLE ISLAND PONIES.
Their Names Are in Some Instances
 Three Yards Long.

Aner Manes Are in Some Instances
 Three Yards Long.
 The story of animal life on Sable island is strange. Roaming the sandy wastes are herds of wild ponies guard ed by pae.larehal stallions, says Ains- lees Magazine. These ponies resemble the horses on the sculptures of Nine- Yeh, and approach the behotder seem- lngly out of the framework of antiqui- ty. They are stoeky and remarkable for their long names, which in in- stances have been known to grow to the length of three yards. These po- aies are the remnant of a stock thought 10 have been left by some Portuguese fishermen "P0rtingalls' the old rec ords quaintly call them-who touched at the islands on their fishing expedi- ton at even an earlier date than the Marquis de la Roche. At one time there were from 400 to 500 wild ponies on the island, but their number has been de- creased by exportation, the severity of the winters and, some people think, by the Importation nf improved, do- ajesticated stallions, which have made the stock less hardy and consequently more susceptible to death from expos- ure There are now between eighty and 100 wild ponies and about thirty for domestic use. Mounted on ponies, the life savers gallop over the dunes and among the hillocks on their long patrols, and the lifeboats are drawn to he scenes of shipwreck by teams of five ponies, three at the shaft. and two leaders. Some of the ponies are sent to Halifax every year or two, and are sold at auction at an average price of from s15 to SIS

FKfNCk Or taStH
aas Made sood Terms for Himsssi
 with the Casino Company.


 Ten years have elapsed since Prince Aibeft ascended the throne of the Grimaldi amid pageant which re- called the middle ages, says the Gen Heman's Magazine. The reigning sov- erelgn, who is 51 years old was ed- ucated as naval officer. and has served in both the Spanish and French naV1es, taking part in the Franco Pfussian war Of 1870. In England he IS known for his papers on ocean, oSraphy;; in France he has lately made n1mself conspicuous for his letter to Mime. Dreyfus; at home he is regard eo as a very shrewd man of business, who has made excellent terms for him. self with the Casino company. So far the most important event of his reign has been the renewal of M. Blane's oflglnal concession, which would have expired in 1913, for a fur her period of nfty yaars from that date. This new privilege will have cost from first to last million sterling In hard cash paid to the prince; an annuity rising every ten years, till it will reach 3l00, 000 in the last decade; a new opera house, to cost e8e 9O0, and, as a recognition of the artistic tastes of the prince, sum of G1,000 for each Of ten special representations at. the theater. He also receives, as may be seen from the balance sheet of the company for last year, an additional grant of 920,000 for his law courts police and army of sexenty-fve men and Is also large shareholder in the concern. Besides all this, the Casino pays for public works and roads. light ing, the wafer supply, the official wash house, the state baths and the loss on the postotIiee, while, true to the religious character of Monaco, it gives grants to the bishop, the clergy and the convents. In short, tie contem- porary history Of Monaco is simply that of the Casino and the descendant of the Grimaldi is that very modern oroduet--tlie aristroeratic ffancier.

ORIGIN OF THE SLED.
seems to Have Come from a Country
 Where snow Is Unknown

ssems to Have Come from Country
 Where snow Is Unknown.
 Dr. Karutz, an original scholar ot Lubeck. has just completed some val uable investigations relative to the in- yention of the sled. After long study he comes to the conclusion that prim- tive man probably arrived at the idea of the sled from seeing trees slip and slide down the mountains In Madeira, for instance where there is never any snow, sleds drawn by oxen are used just as they are in the Philippines. It is development from the idea of a man dragging q burden along the ground, when it was too heavy for him to lift 1t ap and carry it. He at first hitched his dog to the deer that he had just killed and both dragged 1t toward the cave or hut in which they lived. When he saw logs slide down the mountain side the idea of using smooth logs that would slide over the ground easily when drawn by himself or one of his animals was the next step in the development of the sled. Primitive peoples like the Malays of the Philippines, and the unprogres s.Ye peasants Of Madeira still use ths sleds invented by their ancestors thou- sands of years ago. In countries where z @e and snow are found it is probable zlaat the very fact of a man slipping son the ice showed some inventive per. #son that there was an easy way to zearfy what he wanted to transfer from gone place to another, and so first pull #hg a branch along over the frozen SsnoW instead of carry ing it. lie thought 8ol putting other things on the branch, 7ae trimmed off the twigs and leaves #'hat caught in the stumps and other @fees, and the beginning of the sled @Rlaa come. The joining together of two 3ogs and shaping them were only steps E7n the perfection of the earliest method Hsi transportation which antedated the 'nA ehtlon of wheeled vehicles by many H eA tofles.-Detroit Free Press.
