Of my visit to the college she was in
Madras, the world headquarters Of the

sistant, an Englishwoman dressed in a sal
mon-colored kimonO, with a white philoso-
piers robe draped over It, She wore the
sacred Brahman cord about her neck, and
her bare feet were thrust into sandals.
Mrs Besant claims to have been a Brah-
man in previous incarnation.
A revival of pure Hinduism is one of
the objects, If not the chief object, of the
college; which also gives instruction in the
western sciences 1t IIas as surprising as
1t was disgusting to find that this insti-
tuition. with a staff Of European theoso-

in good part by funds from Europe and
America, should have as the one conspicu-

at Benares that Buddhism really began.
Buddha, after his enlightenment. began to
teach at a spot a few miles from here,
known as Sarnath, the original site of
Benares. At the present moment archeo-
logical explorations Of great Importance
are under way at Sarnath. The ruins
which have just been unearthed are prob
ably those Of the very monastery to which
Buddha retired, In the fifth century BIC.

sistently resisted the aspirations of the peo-
pie toward national unity, and since their
fulfllment has withdrawn into a self-cen-
tered silence and inacton. If she is to con-
ciliate and inspire the democracy she must
bring herself into line with Its ideals. She
must not only abandon ler alliance with
the Shrunken remains of privilege among
democratic peoples, but also transform and
purify the form of her own government. so
tenaciously monarchical and absolute
abandon or alleviate her ancient coercive
methods: restore a measure of provincial
autonomy among her bishops; recognize
more freely the religious action of the
Iaity and secure more equitable tests in
the selection of her central executive body,
while providing for a fuller representation
of foreign nations upon that body.
"As for science, the church has alto
gether failed to appreciate the revolution
which has been wrought in our concep-
lions. both of the nature of truth and of
the methods necessary to it's establishment.
The progress of the positive and expert
mental sciences has demonstrated the in
sufficiency of every metaphysical eXplana-
ton of the universe. The historical and
psychological methods of establishing
truth, partial they are and must be,
have superseded elaborate and logically
consistent deductions from reality ante
cedently given in certain metaphysical abb
stractions."
This letter. remarkable in many respects,
is evidently intended as the manifesto OF
liberal Catholicism. and ends on note OF
passionate Indictment of the methods
adopted to suppress the new apologize. 1t
says: To-day it is considered a crime to
utter a word of dsapproval either of the
conduct of ecclesiastical government or the
unworthy methods of those who represent
it. Yet meanwhile reviews and journals
which breathe all the fanatical spirit of
Islam are allowed to bestow upon us the
most shameless titles and accuse us of the
most loathsome infamies in spite of the
clerical dress which many OF us wear, and
far from unwOrthily.'

THREE UNIQUE PAsToRATEs.

the title given Rev. A. Stanley Parker. for
two years in charge Of the mission work at
Central Hall, Plumstead. England. When
working at Barrow he would sally forth at
midnight with band and gather large
crowd from the public houses. He found 1t
an excellent way to attract outcasts. but the
police objected, so he did away with the
band, secured big drum and made more
noise alone than the whole band had done.
His efforts were effective. Often with his
drum he gathered 1900 persons after II
o'clock at night.

for fruits and vegetables in different
compartments.
House drains should connect with
a septic tank. A farm house cess pool
when properly constructed is just as
good as a city sewer and it is no more
trouble. What is known as the septic
system was tried theoretically, scien-
tifcally and practically in England
years ago. 1t consists of two tanks;
the first as nearly alright as possible.
The liquid from this is siphoned into
the second tank automatically when IT
fills up to a certain point. Two kinds
of bacteria are known to work in the
requires but little air; the kind in
the second tank do better work when
no light but plenty of air is admitted.
These bacteria destroy the solids in
the sewage. A peculiar feature about
this system is the fact that the solids,
even greases are reduced to a harm
less deposit in the form of scum on
the top of the water with a precipitate
in the bottom and the amount of scum
and precipitate does not increase but
remains the same month after month
1t is not definitely known what be
comes of the additional amounts add
ed each year. 1t disappears as If by
magic.
The septic tank system is not nee
essarily expensive. Two round holes
in the ground six feet in diameter
each and six feet deep are sufficient
to take care of the sewage from a
large house. These underground
tanks may be made of cement and
should be connected with a siphon at
least three inches in diameter. This
siphon is a simple affair and may
consist of a u shaped pipe the out
let of which should be three or four
inches lower than the inlet. The liquid
discharge from the second tank is
clear. colorless and almost pure
water.

lation and heating, also that the extra
burden thrown upon females by want
of conveniences for doing house work
is a contributing factor. They name
farmers who are very careful of their
horses and cattle but very neglectful
of wife and daughters. That the first
care with such men seems to be to
provide good feed, shelter and good
stables for the stock and the old
house must wait until everything else
is attended to. In the meantime the
women folks are obliged to work in
drafty kitchen and to sleep in bed
rooms with the windows shut in order
to keep warm.
Some of these physicians claim that
there would be no difficulty in keeping
the girls and boys on farms If they
had houses that were fit to live in.
