Remedy for the Locust p1asue.

The German-African Gazette is re-
sponsible for the statement that Mr..
Cooper of Richmond, Natal, has dis
covered a new method of destroying
swarms of locusts. The plan consists
in catching and smearing a few of the
locusts with ''locust fungus" a prepa-
ration which is cultivated in the bac-
THEOLOGICAL institute at Grahamstown,
Cape Colony. The insects are then
allowed to return to the swarm, which
they infect with what is presumably a
fatal disease. The same preparation
applied on damp soil in places where
it is known locusts will swarm leads
to their complete destruction. Twenty
swarms are said to have been destroyed
in this manner Although this state
ment is open to doubt, it may be re-
membered that a celebrated bacteri-
ologist once proposed to deal with the
rabbit pest in Australia in much the
same way.-Chamber's Journal.

tube that can be placed, and will re-
main, between the vocal bands, and
instruments that enable one to insert

membranous Group and laryngeal diph-

of laryngeal oedema. 1t has saved
the lives of thousands. Would it

Lacking, as we do, exact information
concerning the seat of obstruction, the
extent and degree of the oedema, and
the existence of infection or complica-
tions, the question cannot be answered.

RELIGION IN INDIA,
Hinduism a Multiplicity OF Sects =
Neither a Philosophy Nor a Worship.

Neither a Philosophy Nor "a Worship.
Hinduism is not a single religion,
but a huge encyclopedia of distinct and
independent worship; it is not a unity
either of thought or custom, but an inn
mems multiplicity of sects and their
-observances. 1t may be described as
the amalgam of all the religious ideas
and usages of all the Indian peoples
through all their past, says the Con-
temporary Review. To NO two classes
IN no two places is it exactly the same
thlng. Its one permanent and distinc-
tive feature is it's social order; where
caste is Hinduism is, where caste is
not, Hinduism will not condescend to
be. Grant this fundamental institution
and 1T viii be tolerant beyond the Wild
est Occidental dream of liberation. II
spreads not by the conversion of in
dividuals, but of tribes or peoples. Its
unit is not the person, but the family:
for the individual it has no place; with
him it can do nothing and for him it
does not care, but the family, or the
aggregation of families, which we term
caste, is to it all in all. 1t is more
by his fulfllment of his domestic du-
ties, his fidelity in his p~aternal func-
lions and obligations, than by his rit-
ual conformity, hat a mans orthodoxy
is judged. Hinduism is neither a phi
losophy, nor a particular worship, nor
a belief, nor any specific theology, but
simply caste. Of course, caste may car
ry with it most of these other things,
not in any uniform or authorita-
tive shape. There are various philos-
ophies, but they are concerns of the
school; there are many worships, but
they are affairs of the temple or the
shrine; there are an infinity of beliefs,
but they are conditioned by time and
place; there are a multitude Of the olo-
gies, but they belong to the sect. The
one thing inviolable and universal is
caste. 1t fixes the lines within which
a man must walk, the customs he must
observe, the social laws he must obey,
the means by which he must carr his
living. 1t is at once ubiquitous and
.invincfble; has lived amid the wars
and divisions Of states. keeping the
people one while the kingdoms were a
LuuIllLuucy IL has COutluuSu anu spread
in the face of linguistic and racial diff
ferences, and has thriven by means of
the agitations and controversies that
have in Europe created heresies and
sehisms. But the one thing caste will
not allow to be touched is the family;
its omnipotence lies in it's power to
isolate the individual and to reduce
him to a condition of mor absolute
helplessness than could ever be expe-
rienced by any solitary in any solitude
the helplessness of living in a TEEN
ing world which has no place for him,
and where he is known of no man. This
is a power which may grow, but which
could not be made; which the conver-
sion of individuals may do more to
confirm and define than to change, and
which can be dissolved only by a.
process as gradual and as inexorable
as the process which formed it.

BIG CAKES AND PIES.

Some so Large That They Have Be
come Historic.
Last Christmas, in Meth End Road.
Hu1lam, there was on view an anor-
nous cake that lowered almost to the
ceiling of the confeccioner's shop. It
was made to represent a fortress, and
weighed more than 1000 pounds. In
its composition had been USED 600
pounds of flour, 400 pounds of butter,
4OO pounds of sugar, 600 pounds of
icing sugar, 800 pounds of currants, 45O
pounds OF sultanas, 800 pounds of can
died peel, 200 pounds of almonds, and
1900 eggs. Gigantic, however, as was
this cake, it cannot be compared with
that with which in June, 1880, Frederick
William /. RECALLED his army. After a
huge repast of beef, wine and peer had
been partaken of, the guests. to the
number of 10000, saw approaching an
immense car drawn by eight horses,
on which reposed a monster cake.
eighteen yards long. eight yards broad
and one-half yard thick. 1t contained,
among other, ingredients, SO bushels of
hour, 200 gallons of milk, 1 ton of but
ter, l ton of yeast, and 5000 eggs. The
soldiers, who had already eaten a
hearty meal, were able to devour only
a portion of this extraordinary cake.
SO to their aid were summoned the peo-
pie from the towns and villages in the
nelghborhood, among whom it was
distributed till not a morsel remained.
Last August the town of Paignton re-
viyed an old custom of making a plum
pudding for the benefit of the local
poor. After being drawn in process
sion round the town, it was cut up and
sold. Its weight-250 pounds-com-
pares, however, but poorly with Paign-
tons former efforts. In 1919 a pud-
ding weighing 900 pounds was made,
with unfortunately but Indifferent sue
cess, for, after boiling three days and
nights in a brewers copper, it was pro-
nounced too "doughy" to be eaten.
However, in 1858 the inhabitants re-
covered their prestige and beat the rec
ord with a pudding a ton and a half
In weight, and costing 1925. In it's
composition were employed 573 pounds
of flour, 191 of bread, 1872 pounds of
raising, 191 pounds of c~urrants, 1882
pounds of suet, 800 lemons. $50 quarts
OF milk, IA nutmegs, 95 pounds of SUI
gar, besides a quantity of eggs. 1t
was cooked in sections, which were aft
erwards built together. In 1896 DENLY
Dale, near Huddersield, celebrated the
jubilee of the repeal of the corn laws
by making a Brobdingnagian pie,
which was served out to the thousands
that 1ocked into the village from the
country round. The dish employed in
baking was ten feet long, six feet six
inches wide and one foot deep, weigh
ing, with it's contents, t~hirty-fve hun
dredweight. The pie itself contained
1,12O pounds of beef, $50 pounds of
veal, 112 pounds Of mutton and so
pounds of lamb. In the composition
of the crust 1,12O pounds of flour and
$50 pounds of lard were used. This is
the sixth huge pie that has been made
at DENLY Dale, the first having been
manufactured SO long ago as 1888, to
commemorate the recovery of George

j. R. Rockhill, of Chicago, at the Fifth

used to be a selectman named Wat
kins, who had held Office so long and
reached so advanced an age that jokes
about few die and none resign he
had solved the question of living for
ever ETC., were constantly applied to
him. Another selectman by the name
of Lindsey, who was something of a
Wit, was very sick and not expected
to live, and while he was in this state
Watkins fell ill of pneumonia, from
which disease he subsequently died. A
friend calling Oh Lindsey told him of
Watkins sickness and that his death
was ~momentarily expected. A twinkle
crept into Lindsey's eye as he whis-
pered to his friend: NO; Watkins
won't die this time. He'll never die.
