BRITISH RULE IN INDIA.
Lord CurEOn Tries TO show that Il
Is Beneficial 10 the Natives.

Lord CurEOn Tries to show that II
Is Beneficial 10 the Natives.
The August number Of the North Ameri-
can Review contains the second and last
part Of Lord Curzon's detailed account OF
British Rule in India" In hiss previous
article he dwelt more particularly on the
BENEFITS derived by Great Britain from
her connection with India In this he de-
scribes the material and other benefits
conferred upon India by British rule and
that. Notwithstanding these advantages,
the Nationalist party Is in strong oppo-
sitlon.
How. then, does It come about that so
marked a seditious and anarchical move
ment has been manifest in India in recent
years? The answer. I think IS twofold.
The Indian movement is a part Of that
uprising Of natural sentiment in favor OF
self-governing Institutions which has run
Ike a tide throughout the East ever since
the victory of Japan over Russia. and has
been equally visible in China. India. Per-
STA. Turkey. Russia, and Egypt. In In
dia it takes the form not merely Of de-
mand for a greater share in the govern
ment OF the country and for some ap-
preach TO parliamentary Institutions. but
In It's cruder and more violent shapes ap-
peaIing to Unbalanced intellect. fed upon
rhetoric OF an hitherto uncontrolled press,
or attacks upon the instruments Of an
alien rule eliminating in the assassina-
ton or attempted assassination OF high
officials Of the government-often (sueh
Is the unreasoning faulty Of the perpe-
trators) OF those who have been most
conspicuous for their service TO the ma
tive cause A second reason has been the
general belief that there has been some
lack OF frmness and consistency in the
policy Of the government. which has at
tempted the difficult and well-nigh i'm
possible task OF running Cancellation and
repression so TO speak. in double harness,
with the result that the coercion has
usually been too late 10 brighten and the
Cancellation too fortified to appease.

Shakespearean Item Derived

New York-A rare item of Shake

ing Memoirs of the Ancient Thames,
Originally From a Very Old Manu-
script, by P. Buchan," post, 8vo, orig
tnaI boards, uncut, Peterhead (Scot-
land), 1928.
This work was privately printed by
Buchan at a press which he himself
had established in the north of Scot
land 1t is a curious story of the
'Amours and Life of Macbeth which
the editor and publisher obtained
from an old man, whose habit it was
to preserve every fragment Of ancient
Scottish literature that he could find.
The manuscript is printed as given to
Buchan by this old man, excepting
that the photography has been some
what modernized. Certain passages,
he explains, have been printed in
full. which may seem rather luxuriant
to the censorious reader, but which
if they had been brought down to the
rules of decent policy, would have de-
stroyed the original"
In the same sale will be three vol
umes in vellum of the voyages of Ra-
music, published in Venice in 1863
1855 and 1888. Each of these con-

is simply vile rags ripped up just as

Such is Fame,

Miss Jane Adams, the founder of
Hull house and the pioneer in settle
ment work in Chicago, recently was in
st. Louis, and, according to veracious
chroniclers was visited by an enter
prising young reporter, whose first
question was, Miss Adams, have you
ever had any experience in settlement
work?' When this story was re-
peated in the presence of Senator
Frye he remarked that it reminded
him of an experience of his own a year
or two ago. He was returning to
Washington for the session of Con
gress and stayed over a day or two in
Boston. Soon after he had registered
at the Touraine a youthful reporter
called on him, and the first question
was, Senator, have you ever taken
any interest in the ship subsidy ac-
tion?" Not much" replied the sena-
tor, dryly. Can you tell me just what
it isl" Whereupon the young man
proceeded to give a little elementary
instruction on the subject to the sena-
tor, who had been the author of most
OF the ship subsidy bills introduced
in congress. And the venerable sena-
tor never enlightened the young man.
He says he was afraid it might have
embarrassed him.

The Human BRAIN

What is the brain but a scrapbook?
asks the Family Doctor. If, when we
are asleep someone should peer in
there, what would he find? Lines from
faVorite poets, scrap songs, melodies
from operas, sentences from books
meaningless dates, recoIlections of
childhood; vague, gradually growing
faint, moments of perfect happiness,
hours of despair and misery. The
first kiss of childhood, the first part
ing of bosom friends, the word of
praise or the word of blame of a fond
mother, pictures of men and women.
Of homeland beauties or scenes of
travel, hopes and dreams that come to
nothing. Unrequited kindnesses, graf
itude for favors, lifted thankfulness
for life or the reverse, quarrels and
recollections, old jokes, delightful non
senses, wit that savored talk, or the
dull flow of speech that had in it no
life; and, through them all, the thread
of one deep and enduring passion for
some one man or woman, which may
have been misery or a delight.

BUILDING IN GOTHAM

site OF these two structures the Bank
eTs' Trust company may put up a 80
story skyscraper, the cost of which
is estimated at 100000. The height
Of the new building will be 539 feet.
1t will not be the Hottest here. the
Metropolitan tower being over 657 feet
to the apex and the Singer tower 612
feet. The Gillender building will not
be a total waste. The granite in it
has been sold to a manufacturer of
tombstones, and the window sashes,
cornice ornaments and interior dec
orations to dealers in secondhand
building materials, while the steel
frame, which is almost as good as new
can be used again elsewhere.
The wrecking contractor, who re-
ceives $4,000 for the job, is allowed
only IS days in which to rae the
brick, stone, terra Gotta and steel, and
he will forfeit $500 day if it be not
removed in that period He has hun

1t Ia usual for building contractors
here to keep shifts Of workmen go
ing every hour of the "a when big
jobs are undertaken, as the owners
want to begin collecting rents as soon
as possible, and accordingly time is
money. Building operations are hand
led here with skill as well as quick
ness, the use of the street by pedestri-
ans and vehicles not being hindered.
Both Nassau and Wall streets are mar
row, but the destruction of the Gillen-
der building does not interfere with
the crowds that surge through them
every day, so thorough are the wreck
er's arrangements.
