A census which has just been com
pleted in British India has brought to
light the extraordinary fact that there
are in that country 1,4l6,63S 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 during certain festivals it is Gus
omary for all OF them to abstain from
ood for two full months. When they
at they confne themselves to vege-
ables. for they never kill an animal,
ven in self-defense. 1t is their re-
gion which imposes upon them the
litigation of fasting, but travellers say
rat abstinence from food is no pen
nee in their case. and that even if
hey were all to become converted to
ime other creed they would still re-
ain idle and lead a severely aseetic
,e for tAe greater part of the year.

Bitter Enmity Betweea Two OF the
Early Presidents.
Thomas Jefferson and John Adams
were two Of the brightest men in that
notable body, the Second Continental
Congress. Together they worked for
independence together they served on
the committee to draw up the declara-
tion, and for more than a dozen years
after were the closest confidants and
friends. Political differences, alas
separated them, and their close friend

strong presidents. of the country they
had done so much to bring into exist

rivals that upon Jefferson succeeding

night of his last day as president, ap

This foolish and unfortunate quarrel

The Chinese have no idea of what
Americans mean by comfort. We
wear hats at all seasons. They ask
why we should wear hat in summer
any more than heavy gloves. II the
sun is TOO hot and you are delicate,
there is always the umbrella; If it is
too cold, there is always the hood. In
"China's Open Door" Mr.. Rounse-
yelle Wildman says that there is alb
solutely no standard of comparison
between the Chinese and the Ameri-
can,
In discussing the economics Of the
Chinese. there is no place where you
can stop Nothing is lost. Every an
imal is eaten. regardless of the cause
OF his demise. The sardine and fruit
cans that we extravagantly throw into
the dump are born again as tin cups
and cooking utensils. The weed that
cannot be eaten is used as fuel with
which TO cook the weed that may be
edible In autumn the leaves of trees
are gathered by children who are too
young TO labor. and pounded into
bricks and dried for their winter fuel

that there are no idle people in Chi

BERLIN PRESS COMMENT.
Vossische zeitune Thinks Uncle Sam
Has Land-Grabbing Designs.

BERLIN, Aug. 19.-The Vossische Eel
tung today. discussing the attitude of New
York newspa pers regarding European
vessels going to the Caribbean sea, points
out that large United States naval
force has been sent there and raises the
question whether the American I'M
perialists" view the present situation as
Offering a welcome occasion for extend
ing the sphere and power of the United
States. or whether it is an honest at
tempt to restore peace. The paper con-
tinues:
IF the Americans intend nothing moro
than to protect the reasonable interests
Of citizens of the United States then
they should rejoice at the presence Of
the European vessels having the same
object in view. Even the cooperation
of various pow erS would be possible-but
the very fact that the United States min
lister at Caracas undertook the business
OF the absent Colombian minister was
calculated to arouse distrust of the in
tention of the Washington government,
which thereby got control of the events
at one of the most important points"
Referring to the report circulating in
Washington that the trouble is likely TO
spread to Nicaragua and Ecuador, the
Yossische Zeitung says:
''It does not look as if the United
States was trying to quench the flames,
but, on the contrary, as if that country
was trying to spread them as much as
possible, in order, in any case, TO have

FOR UNIFORM STATE LAWS.
National Conference of Commits
sioners in scssinn nt Denver


siOners in Session at Denver.
DENVER, Aug. 19-+The national con-
ference of commissioners on uniform
state laws, made up of commissioners .aD>
pointed by the governors of the different
states, met here today to discuss a uni
form law with reference to divorce pro-
cedure. The conference Will also discuss
a change in the insurance laws with a
view to uniformity.
Judge Lyman D. Brewster, of Danbury
Conn, is president of the conference and
also chairman Of the committee OF the
American Bar association which has the
same object in view.
The conference is a body distinct from
the American Bar association, but all the
members are affiliated with the latter or
ganization and will attend it's convention
which begins in this city on Wednesday
next.
At the last meeting of the conference,
boards having charge of the question Of
divorce, which is the sole question Of i'm
pertance for consideration at this meet
ing in Denver, made recommendations for
uniform law relative to divorce pro-
cedure. Final action upon this subject
probably will be taken at the present
meeting. An application from the mis-
listers of Denver for hearing upon the
divorce question was considered today,
and it was decided to give them an hour
tomorrow. Today's session was executive
and chiefly devoted to organization. A
meeting was held tonight. u at which uni
fornity of laws pertaining to agriculture
was advocated.
