AN ANCIENT EMPIRE.

India, although less than half the size
of the United States, has a population
three times as great. Two-thirds of the
people are Hindus. and GO. 100000 are Mo-
hammedans. Only about 1000, coo are NOM
inal Christians and ore-half of these are
Roman Catholics. India is considered the
strongest Mohammedan country in the
world.
India is one of the earliest fields where
Christian missions were planted. William
Carey, often called the father of modern
missions was the pioneer English mis-
slcnary in Ii.dia. The son of a weaver,
and himself a cobblsr, he became so i'm
bued with missionary zeal that he over
came the obstacles of poverty and ignor-
ance, fitting himself for his life work by
studying as he worked at his bench. In
1898 he was assigned to India by the Eng
lish Missionary association as its first mis-
sionary. After a few years residence in
India his knowledge of the native Ian
guage obtained for him a professorship in
the college at Calcutta. where he worked
for thirty years. He translated the bible
into twenty-four of the dialects of India.
For forty years. this "consecrated cobbler''
as he had been called in ridicule, labored
for the people of India.
Owing to the numerous invasions and
migrations which have occurred In India,
the people present a complexity Of race
and language which greatly magnifies the
missionary problem. More than two hun
dre6 distinct dialects are spoken in the
Indian empire.
The condition Of woman in India among
the lower classes Is but little better thar
| that of n slave. Either as wife or widow
she is denied all right to liberty and hap
piness. Even among the high caste fam
lies the position of the man Is supreme
and woman is subject to his dictates. The
life of the child widows and it's awfulness
! Is familiar to all reading persons.

"MercuriaIe Swords"

When was it usual to insert running
mercury in the backs of swords:
This was a comparatively common
practice among the Italian, French and
Spanish swOrdmakers of the sixteenth
and seventeenth centuries, but it was
more of a fancy than anything else, for
it never came into general use. 1t was
not, of course, used for rapiers or the
lighter kind of swords, but for the
heavier cutting swords.
The method was to cast the blade
rather broader at the back than usual,
with a hollow running down it. This
was half filled with quicksilver and
sealed up. The idea was that when 4
blow was struck with such q sword
the quicksilver would fly to the point
and so increase the weight Of the blow.
This theoretical advantage, however
did not at all counterbalance the gen
eral clumsincss of the weapon and its
unhandiness in guarding, and so the
mercuriale swords, as they were called
from which their ingenious inventor
hoped so much, were rather military
curiosities than practical successes

And Jack yodeled with a strength

Euclish Deer Hunting.

The running of the deer begins i'll
November, and it is said they often
take as keen an interest in the hunt as
their pursuers. The hounds are never
allowed to kill them, and the same
ones are often run for several success
siye years. Twenty-Five Of the heifers
and does are selected for the seasons
sport. and two are usually run in a
week. The one chosen for the day IS
drawn in queer looking two wheeled
covered cart to the appointed place.
The back Of the cart Is lowered until
it is level with the ground. When the
door is opened. the deer steps out, shifts
the air, with his head up, and takes a
sweeping glance around before he is
away like q shot. He is given five
minutes law" while the well trained
hounds and horses stand tremblingly
impatient to be off in pursuit.
