grave fears were entertained by friends
of the Socialist movement (and they

proven the contrary. Phoenix-lille,

C00LIE DIRT-EATERS.
Strange Habit of Many Natives Of
the West Indies.

You can't convince the coolie OF the
Greuadine Islsnds. West Indies. that there
iB any harm In eating dirt. His own dis
eases ought to convince him, but they don't.
The rest of their diet Is simple and meager.
For the most part they are Tegetarians.
They eat rice, pease, curry and ghee, a spe-
cially prepared butter in great use. Most
processing vegetarians do not exclude from
their diet milk and eggs, but these coolies
will not touch either. except when they are
in hospital and forced to do so. To hard
workers in the cane fields under a scorcning
tropical sun such a frugal diet cannot be
supposed to be productive of health or ro-
added the luxury of officiating. II is no
wonder that these coolies are bloodless and
stiff jointed- These ills are characteristic Of
the race
Coolie patients in the English hospitals OF
Carriacou. one Of the Grenadine Islands,
frequently are found to have gravel hidden
IN their s,othins and they cry and d. beg for
This stun which they eat is a soft. slate
colored or graytsh stone: Sometimes the
pulverized dirt Is made into cakes. If there
rags, paper and coke.
4 coolie who is well along in the art of
officiating is swollen all over the body,
face is Duffy and has a distressing look OF
WEAKNESS and premature. age. He is
short Of breath, and is unable to speak, SO
that he has to make signs to indicate his
condition. His tongue Is swollen and fabby
and lies in the floor of his mouth, from
which he cannot raise 1t. from pure weak
ness. It is marked strongly with impress
sions Of the teeth. He has severe head
aches. dimness, of sight and pains in the
abdomen, His skin is thin. fahby and lack.
ing OF drmness. and even In the case OF.
children feels like the skin of an aged per-
son. Tho complexion is pasty.
But to have the diseases incident to dirt
eating 1t is not necessary to eat dirt inten-
tionally. Laborers in tho fields. who rarely
wash their hands. have been known to take
their food with their unwashed hands to
acquire all the Ills which affiict those who
eat dirt because they like It.
