Cooper Of Richmond. Natal, has dis
covered new method Of destroying

allowed to rsturn to the swarm, which
they infect with what Is presumably q
fatal disease. The same preparation
applied on damp soil in places where
II Is known locusts will swarm leads
to their complete destruction. Twenty
swarms are said to have been destroyed
In this manner. Although this state-

RELIGION IN INDIA.


ainAaism " Malt.p LOFTY at SseSs -
Nsither = P.tlosoP,y Nor . wss-hip.-
Hinduism is not single religion.
but huge encyclopedia of distinct and
independent worship: it il not unity
either of thought or custom, but an i'm.
mense multiplicity OF sects and their
observances. 1t may be described as
the amalgam Of all the religious ideas
and usages Of all the Indian psoples
through all their past, says the Con-
temporary Review. To NO two classes
In NO two placed Is 1t exactly the same
thing. Its one permanent and distinc-
tive feature Ia it, social order: where
caste 10 Hinduism Is. where caste is
not. Hinduism will not condescend to
Be. Grant this fundamental institution
and 1t will be tolerant beyond the Wild
est Occidental dream of federation. It
spreads not by the conversion of in
dividuals, but of tribes or peoples Its
unit IL not the person. but the family:
for the individual II has NO place; with
him II can do nothing and for him 1t
does not care. but the family. or the
aggregation of families, which we term
caste. IL to 1t all in all. It is more
BY his fulfillment of hiV domestic du-
ties. his fidelity in his paternal func-
lions and obligations. than by his rlt-
ual conformity. that mans orthodoxy
is judged. Hinduism ia neither phi
losophy, nor particular worship. nor
belief. nor any specific theology, but
simply caste. OF course, caste may car
ry with 1t most of thesc other thinKs,
but not In any uniform or authorita-
tive shape. There arc 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 infnity OF beliefs.
but they are conditioned by time and
place; there are multitude Of the olo-
giles. 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 earn his
living 1t is at once ubiquitous and
invincibie; has lived amid the wars
and divisions Of states, keeping the
people one while the kingdoms were a
multitude; 1t has continued and 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 hereaies and
schisms. But tina one thing caste will
not allow to be touched II the family;
Its omnipotence lies in its power to
isolate the individual and to reduce
him to a condition Of more absolute
helplessness than could ever be expe-
rienced by any solitary in any solitude
the helplessness Of living In teem-
ing world which has no place for him.

This was the signal for a general riot,
