HOMELESS CHILDREN.
Part Played by the Liquor Traffic
in Torture of Little Ones,

About two years ago the New
Voice, reviewing for its readers the
~'Committee of Fifty's" book, eco
monte Aspects of the Liquor Prob

-cording to the statement of that ex-
.ceedingly conservative work As per
cent. of the great army of homeless
children-an army that in the United
States is every year recruited by 49,
900 little ones who were abandoned
by their parents-that As per cent.
of these, by the most conservative
estimate, are homeless and friend
less because of drink.
In the city of Chicago there is an
institution that has for its object
the care and reskling of homeless
children. 1t is known as the "Amer-
lean Home Finding association" and
is particularly engaged, as it's name
would indicate, in finding homes for
homeless little ones. Naturally this
institution has had much observation
with regard to the part played by
drink in the restitution of children
and recently its superintendent was
requested by the New Voice to mar

CLAIMS FOR MANGLE ISLAND.
Sovereignty Over Them and Other
Small Islands Asserted by
Nicaragua.

The government of Nicaragua has
recently put in a claim to sovereignty
over several groups of small islands,
including the Mangle islands, lying
off the Atlantic coast of the Isthmus
of Panama, says the Washington Star.
The question arose when President
Loubet of France recently gave his
decision as to the boundary between
Costa Rica and Colombia. The deci-
sion awarded 10 Colombia a consider
able part OF the territory in dispute,
including tina valuable bay of Chirjqui,
on the Atlantic side, and also several

Chiidren's Friendships.

This should be a watchful period for
mothers, for these early friendships
have a marked influence on the mind,

largely by early companionship and
surroundings. Every mother should

bud any acquaintance which she

in behalf of Colombia that President
Loubet had carefully gone over the
records establishing ownership, and
that these had failed to disclose any
authority on the part of Nicaragua

not proceeded beyond this point. The
islands are rather unimportant except
for their strategic location off the

Fast Nine Months Every Year.

A census which has just been COM
pleted in British India has brought to
light the extraordinary fact that there
are in that country 1,416,63s persons
who fast and remain entirely idle dur
ing nine months of every year. These
persons are members of the Jain sect
and their homes are in Bengal and in
the provinces of Guzerat and Rajpu-
tana. Their principal shrine is on the
mountain of Parasnath, near Chota
Nagpore, and thither they flock every
spring, in order to begin the first great
fast of the year. A Jain can easily
live for six or seven weeks without
taking even a morsel of food, and dur
ing certain festivals it is Gust omary
for all of them to abstain from food
for two full months. When they eat
they confine themselves to vegetables,
for they never kill an animal, even in
self-defense. 1t is their religion which
imposes upon them the obligation of
fasting. but travellers say that absti-
nence from food is no penance in
their case, and that even if they were
all to become converted to some other
creed they would still remain idle and
lead a severely ascetic life for the
greater part of the year.-N. Y. Her

MONKEY CONGREGATION.
Remarkable Assemblage in the Fer
est with the Birds Serving
Musicians

The author of Sands of Sahara"
when visiting the Gorge of Chiffa,
came upon a strange ceremonial
which, native assured him, was an
unusual one. The gorge itself is like
grand sanctuary, canopied by trees
and lighted delicately by the sun
filtering through foliage. remark,
able assemblage was there that day
"a congregation of monkeys APP
parently holding some kind of serv-
ice, to which the birds of the forest
gave music.
The monkeys sat in rows upon the
broad, outreaching branches of the
virgin trees. They were in parties of
two, three or four, although one fell
low sat alone, like a decorous bach
elor. While most of them remained
stationary, certain partriarchal fell
lows passed about the area of as
semblage, sitting down for few
minutes on the branches beside diff
ferent families of the parish, SEEM
ing to give them counsel.
The ceremonies were conducted
with the greatest propriety. The
monkeys seemed to be taking part
in service in which they were deep
ly interested. When it was over, and
they were about to go out into the
world, the ruling elders could be
seen running about, passing from
tree to tree on the interlacing
branches; nor did the assembly
break up until those evidently re-
spected officials had visited and
saluted the entire convocati ton. Even
their departure was made most
decorously.
Then, after that serious council
had adjourned, the monkeys fell to
enjoying themselves. They scamp
cred from tree to tree. They swung
from branch to branch. Some hung
by their tails, and others, in little
lotteries, hand in hand enjoyed their
mid-air frolic. But the old bachelor
did not clasp hands with anybody.
