The Peculiar Jains.

Ernest NJ. Bowden in The Nineteenth
Century reports a chat with Raja
Sivaprasad on JainiSm. The jams
pay more regard to the feelings of the
lower animals than any other sect in
the world; will not kill them or injure
them; are careful to avoid destroying
even insects, sometimes wearing n
handkerchief over the mouth to pre-
vent any living creature being breath
ed in. 1t may be argued that this
tenderness will prove in the long run
fatal TO its pOSSeSsors, handicapping
them seriously in the struggle for life
with less scrupulous rivals. AS evil
dence to the contrary Mr. Bowden
points to the jams:
notwithstanding the opposition. if
not active prosecutions, Of bygone
times, the one small sect which, more
than any other in the world. has
taught and practiced the doctrine of
'ahimsa,' or 'noninjury,' to living crea-
lures, stands today, after some four
and twenty centuries, by far the most
prosperous community in n population
verging on 100000, 600"
