IDOLS FOR INDIA.
Millions of Fantastic Dsit'es Are

into hundreds of separate states, =
The most important industry Of In
dia is agriculture, for the people are
race of farmers and nearly two
thirds of the masses cultivate the SOIL
eking out living so scanty that the
slightest failure of the monsoon brings
acute distress. If not positive famine.
1t is perhaps for this reason that In
dia is the most god ridden region on
earth. Her deities are numbered in
millions. for quite apart from the
greater gods every little hamlet be-
tween the tremendous Himalayas and
Cape Comorin has it's own set of de-
tiles, dreadful and benefcent.
From this lit will be seen that god
making in India must necessarily be
an immense business, and just now
there is much feeling among the ma
tive artificers over this holy and profit
able industry being cut into by foreign
merchants and traders. Only the 9th

the traffic in gods.
Every village, especially in south In
dia. is supposed to be surrounded by
evil spirits, always on the watch to
inf1ict disease and m;sfortunes on the
people At the same time every little
hamlet has also its guardian spirits
who ward off the evil ones and protect
the villagers from epidemics Of chol-
era, smallpox, cattle disease, famine
and all the dire and manifold ills that
Indian flesh is heir to.
The names of these village deities
are indeed legion, and some of them
are quite unintelligible to the people
themselves. On the other hand, many
of them have meanings which show
clearly their close connection with
country iife-thus, the Village god
