JHE ENGLISH iN iNcIA.

The Graphie's readers will pco522l.' remember the controversy that WIS rasing early last fall between Lord Crrzon and Lord Kitchener over the administration of affairs in India. I ord Curzon was viceroy of Indian and Lord Kitchener was sent there to reorsanize the Indian army. Their differences of opinion over admlnistra' five affairs and the conflict between the British government which at that time was under the Premiership o1 the Rt. Hon. Arthur Balfour. and which sustained Lord Kitchener ana resuted in the resignation and re turn to England of Lord and Lady Cruzon.
 Americans have always felt some what of a personal interest in Lofo C,1rzon because he married Chicago o;rl of the famous Letter family. ana Nho has adorned the nobility of Eu- rone The coronation of Lord and Iadv Curzon as Emperor and Elm press of India some few years ago o"r7 inc the celebrated durbar was one or 1he most brilliant functions that ever happened in history. ancient or moo- ern.
 These events are somewhat inter- oct;no at this time in view of the statement made to a British newspa- nor hy an Indian correspondent to the effect that Lord Kitchener's poll cv in India is alienating the natives end that if his policy is not checked it will ultimately result in mutin! more serious than that of 1857.
 An able writer upon Asiatic aues tions. Mir. Meredith Townsend. has de scribed the British dominion in lndaa as a structure built on nothing. Here are two hundred and fifty mli- lions of human beings taxed. SoVerh- ed and protected by less than fifteen hundred men, who are themselves nrotected by a garrison of siNty-five thousand men. The thing is almost ineenceivable. It may be said. of co,rse. that the people of India are conteuted: certainly they are well governed. But between western and eastern ideals there is an apparently
 rreconcilable conflict; and if India chose to expel Eusland by physical fcrce it could do so. The mutiny ot 1S57 failed to be sure. Nevertheless fl would be futile to say that no uo- rising could ever be successful.

while mentioning. It was a, report Of little gathering at which the subject "Victims of Society," was discussed.
 According to the report, school girl. fifteen years of age, was the main speaker. She was cheered tlme and again. and it is predicted that she will take the stump in the next na- tional campaign!
 And of what kind of a gospel is this youthful crusader messenger! The report states that she declared that the wage-working classes the Worid over are "victims of society" She said that it is not only the capitailstlc class that expresses the wage earners' "hut o,,r own parents as we'll From the day of our birth we are told we n,,1st think certain things, believe lh q certain religion, practice certain stereotyped morals, read certain so- called standard books, and even choose certain classes of compan-
 
 ions."
 Think of that! What would the llt- He "red virgin do about it? Nature boe SD arranged that human beings come to this world weak and helpless. If there were nobody to kindly care for them teach them and guide their first weak steps, what would become of them? This is the first time we have heard anyone rail against the Creator for entrtusting the infants tto the care of parents. instead of endoW- ing them. from the day of their birth, with fully developed faculties. We are, finally, told that the only remedy for this tyrannical arrangement IS in voting certain way.
 We hope the little girl will meet some kind friend that can gain her confidence and lead her away from the folly into which she seems to have been caught, perhaps as result of contemptuously throwing away the teachings and counsels of those who, because of years, experience and stndv have both a right and a duty to counsel and teach the young and ln- experienced. She is not very much to blame for the nonsense attributed to her. for many older would-be re- formers talk just such idiotic stuff, and thereby expect to reform the world.

WASTE AND RECOVERY,

An exchange points out, apropos of the waste of wealth resulting from the earthquake, and conflagration at San Francisco, that the world recover ed quickly from the drain upon its re- sources caused by the Boer war and the still greater conflict in Manchuria. In those distant wars there was an enormous waste of wealth which, were our civilization something more real, more efficient, might have been employed in rehousing the poor in many a great city, and so adding to national strength and effectiveness wherever this reform should have been carried out More than that, hundreds of thousands of people, con- gested in crowded slums, could have been placed in colonies in the unde- yeloped regions of the earth. Think of what $1,5O0,00O, 1000, spent in war fare, might do for the permanent vel fare of struggling and submerged hu- manitv whose fierce hostility to the existing social order is making itself heard through the mouths of agitators in all lands of white civilization!
 The truth is that. for all our boast ings. we live in semibarbaric peri cd. our civilization is more apparent than real, and waste, to an appalling degree, is the rule in many great na- lions. Man has to make his conquest of nature slowly. at an immense eX- penditure of labor, both of brain ana hand. The average annual aeeumula, tjon of wealth is. in most countries, very slowly-some economists have set it approximately at six per cent. Countries situated as is the United States are the exception. The older countries of our civilization are small in area, and overcrowded, importing heavily of raw material for manu- facture into wares in demand in lh' ternational commerce. But even the United States must feel the loss al San Francisco. which estimated con servativelv at s25o,ooo,ooo, is but s,iehtlv over two-tenths of l per cent. of inc nations total wealth. Some ct the loss will fall. it is true. in Great Britain. where fire insurance coln' nanies held large risks in the Pacihc coast metropolis. This loss is real, tor' as Napoleon used to say of monty cit is not metaphysical. To reouio San Francisco takes just so much cap ital out of fields of productive ehort; something lost has to be replaced' something which might be created will have to wait till a more conve- nient and propitious moment,
 The destruction of immense values came at a time when investment cap ;tal was much needed in the United States rich as the Great Republic un- deniably is. Luckily, as we nave al ready pointed out the worlds annual sunply of new gold helps maryelooslS in o;v;ns elasticity to the highly per fected credit system. The new solo stands for itself: it also is the basis of a hugely expanded banking credit One thing is certain, viz. that san Francisco will be promptly rebuilt end. for the reasons stated. this Will not seriously affect the financial sit nation of the great white nations.

Take Care of@Yourself.

Take care of yourself, for if you don't, who will? After the mother and nurse have done their youthful and adolescent work, then the job is upon us to attend to ourselves.
 No doubt many of us will get along, grow, perhaps be hearty and live an average life if we simply drift along with the circumstances and condi- tions as they come to us from home, parents and environment.
 But this is only partially discharg. ing our obligations dg being and liy- ing. We can not get the joy, sweet ness and strength of our lives, if we simply let the ordinary functions and duties of our bodies run along in aa easy groove, with little or no care on our own part.
 Whatever we have of value that we can call ours. costs us something. We do not take it in as sponge absorbs water. But our health and vigOr cost us not cash. but constant attendance, vigilance and perpetual watchfulness. And the prerequisites for the care of ourselves are few and simple, yet they must constantly be looked after.
 There are many new discoveries of value in the treatment of disease and irregularities, malformations and bodi- ly injuries But these are profes- siona1 and the laymen can not attend to them. But the discoveries of methods for the care of simple health are few and easily understood. The old Romans had the best baths and mode of cleanliness that the world has ever seen, and no system of phy- sical exercise has ever beaten that in use by the Greeks.
 Most of Us have had the sainted mother who cared for our childhood. But when we are men we are respon- sible and, to great extent able to take care of ourselves And this constant and continual effort and ! watchfulness on our part, bodily and mental duties must be constant source of responsibility to each of us if we would be the men that God gives us a chance to be. Much of this detail is furnished to oung men nowadays in the association manuals and hand books, which have been well and carefully prepared and can be usually secured by every member
 It is well, however, that we have authorities to fall back upon and quote for our own benefit as well as others
 Dr. A. L. Lihon, of the United States navy. says: Fresh air. pure water, good food, clean skin. sound sleep, temperance and exercise. are the seven simples of mans health; . and the words of Tennyson are true: "Self-reverence, salf-knowlndge, self control, these three alone lead to soy- ereign power"
 The fundamentals for right living are a happy disposition. plenty of s!eon, a temperate gratification of all the appetites and the right kind of physical axercise." writes Dr. B. w l Richardson. We serve ourselves best ny serving others, and we serve others to the greatest degree by keep ing our own body up to the highest working level" declares Dr. D. S 'HordoN And Axel Gristafson urges

OUTDOOR LIFE.

The magic Dfedlu ol oPi HIS 10 1AA the air, and beauty is budding ana blcon:ne everywhere The outdoor season is at hand. Good Health, an excellent publication, suggests that as soon os the weather will permit every body should live on the porch-do their reading, sewing, eating, lounslng and mapping there. There is nothing more healthful than living in the open air. Condensing Good Health's sug- aastion the Baltimore Sun says:

Many persons nowadays spend the night on the porch in summer, aud not few find the air but 1T there ill winter also. A bare, bleak porch ex- posed to the sun has it's drawbacks. but it can be made attractive by plant ing around it in the spring quick-grow' jng vines.

STANDARD TRICKS.
EripIoye of Thirteen Years Tells of
 Alleged Methods Employed.

Chicago, May 14.-This was the last day of the oil inquiry. After a hearing this afternoon lasting until 4 o'clock, Commissioner Prouty pre- pared to return with his associates to Washington. The commission will prepare for the hearing of the coal cases beginning next Tuesday in the east.
 Details of the Lamp trick" by which agents of the Standard Oil make bogus tests, it is alleged, for the alleged purpose of overreaching their competitors were brought out at today's session.
 F. s. Hibbs, for thirteen years an employe of the Standard Oil compa- ny illustrated the manner of making the tests with a lamp which he brought with him to the witness stand
 "In testing the oil of a rival com, pany," he said, i've rubbed moisten- ed finger tip across the wick of our rivals lamp, and after it had burn ed little time, the damp spot was reached and the light grew dim and there was spluttering. In the meantime our light was burning brightly.
 eve often bend down the lower part of the burner, which lets air un- der the chimney and causes the lamp to smoke. Sometimes we fill up some of the ventilating holes around the burner with wet flour or chew ing gum.'
 The witness followed this statement with a declaration that in many cases the competitors oil was in reality su- perior grade. He said he had been instructed by R. E. Lashley, special agent of the company at Peoria, to bribe rail- road employees in order to get inform ation concerning the shipment of rival oil. Part of his testimony was related to a banquet held at Peoria February 24, 1904. at which he said C. H. Hand, general manager of the Standard Oil company of Kentucky instructed the agents that if "a lit tie money is necessary in order to get business use it."
 How to Drive Out Rivals.
 "They pay rebates, bribe people, cut rrices and substitute inferior oil in or der to drive out rivals he said.
 A. c. Annet testified that he at tended the Hand banquet at Peoria and heard him recite the case of Rob ert Carlyle, an agent at Kokomo, Ind who fused" s100 and got the contract of a big mill for lubricating oil by hribing an employe to put sand in the oil supplied by the rival company.
 A number of railroad men were called to the stand for the purpose o' nrcying connection between railroads and the Standard Oil company. Jos enh Bartells of St. Paul, agent for ai irdependent oil company, said A. B Sticknev, president of the Chicaac l Great Western railroad. refused tC lower a freight rate "because the Standard Oil company is satisfied with it.
