to observe the shooting in the national
small arms match. which will begin to-
day.
The navy has hopes for the Naval
Academy team, which would have had
sixth place last year had it not been
ruled out on a misunderstanding of regu-
lations. The Marine Corps team has
had excellent training under Capt. Harlee
at Camp Winthrop, Md. Sergt. Froguers.
Of that team, won the Presidents match
over a large number OF competitors from
the various teams, including a large
number OF officers. The Marine Corps has
two or three other men who have been
near the top in the various individual
matches.

Following the Fashion.
rom the Columbus Journal.

From the Columbus Journal.
Prof Charles Zueblin, an old Column
bus boy. is out in New York teachin:
the people how to behave themselves
In a recent lecture at the Waldorf-As-
toria he said:
Il attended a dinner here in New
York where informal dress was &c
auested. but | found that nine-tenths OF
the guests wore dress suits. ] talked
with one of the guests, and he said
that with him it was a habit putting
ON dress suit every time he dined
And he seemed to be an intellectual
and sane man. When the purpose of a
dinner is designed to be informal 1t Is
a sign of vulgarity to dress up and al
offense to organized society. You would
not find such a condition existing in a
western city"
The last remark is not altogether
correct. There is a desperate tendency
to do what New York does all over the
country This is an i'll condition. New
York apes, too. and SO we all do 1t
second hand. How interesting it would
be if every city had its own style, che
badge of it's own pride and originality
so that at a national gathering one
might say, that gentleman is from st
Louis: that lady IS from Cleveland OF
Columbus. Wouldn't 1t be nice?

OUT Castles OF INDIA.
Fifty Millions to Whom Hindus Re-
fuse to Grant Rights.

from the Nlneteentn century.
The out castles of Hindu society form
all over India a distinct section Of the
population, numbering about fifty mil
lions. They are the descendants Of vari-
Gus races who inhabited India before the
Aryan invasion. and who were through
various causes reduced to a state OF
slavery or serfdom. Some of them were
the slaves of the ruling races before the
Aryans entered India. Certainly in south
India slavery was regular institution
long before the appearance Of the Aryans.
But some of the Servile classes of the
present day have in historic times fallen
from a high estate and were originally
ruling classes in the countries where now
they are slaves. Sir W. w. Hunter says
that the Bhars were formerly the mon
archs of the center and east Of the prov
ince of Oudh in north India, that they
were the traditional fort builders to
whom all ruins are popularity assigned,
and that they were reduced to slavery
by Mohammedan ruler of Jaunpur. So
again, he says the Gaulls are ancient
ruling races of the central provinces, the
Adams of Assam. and the Gonds, Chan
delas and Bundelas Of Bundelkund are
other instances Of crushed races. In CEN
ters of the Aryan civilization the aborigi-
nal peoples have been pounded down in
the mortar of Hinduism into the low
castles and out castles. on which the labor
system of India rests"
The same is true of the Pareiyars OF
south India. There is a great deal of ev-
idence to show that originally they were
the ruling race in the Tamil country.
They had their own priests. the Valluvas,
who were priests to the Pallava kings in
what are now the Tanjore and Trichinop-
oily districts before the advent Of the
Brahmans. The greatest poets among the
Tamil people. the weaver poet Tiruvallu-
var and the poetess Avvaiyar. who wrote
about the ninth century A. D., before the
Bra hmans had secured a dominant in
fluence in the extreme south of India,
both belong to the Parelyar race, and
even to this day there. is familiar say
ing all over the Tamil country which lit
orally means "Parelyar the elder brother
of the Brahman." Marshman, I'm his
History OF India" (volume I, page 2D.
says: "A Tamil literature existed before
the introduction Of Brahmanism, and
some Of the best authors in that language
were Of the tribe now stigmatized as
Parelyars, which incontestably proves
tina: the Parelyars were highly
cultivated people. who were reduced to
subsection and degraded by the tri-
umphant Brahmans.
These out caste races are called by diff
ferent names in different parts of India
and have various occupations. Large
numbers are agricultural laborers. many
are leather workers, some are weaverS.
others again are scavengerS and sweep
ers. But whatever their occupation they
are invariably treated by the Brahmans
and the upper castles as degraded and
polluted AS a rule the Hindus feel no
sympathy for them and are unwilling to
concede them any rights whatever

GLIDEs THROUGH THE AIR.
Toy Soaring Machine Which Makes
Actual Flights Overhead.

The toymaker keeps close on the heels
of the scientist and inventor in his search
for novelties for the nurs Try, and thus
it is that the little ones are often as
familiar with the latest developments of
the world of progress as the older ones
are. 1t is no uncommon thing to en-
counter for instance, child who is en-
tirely familiar with all the parts and
functions of an automobile, although it
may never have had the privilege Of
riding in one, and this knowledge has
been picked up through playing with a
modern toy, either about his own home
or that of some companion.

Generally speaking, the only flying ma
chine models which have found their
way into the hands of children have
been those operated on the end of a
string, with some resemblance to their
larger counterparts, which soar through
the air. but the newest arrival in toyland
is aeroplane which really flies under

When released this machine flies a dis
lance of from so to 100 feet, and may

If it should be the fact that not one
man of the great German army had
ever seen action? 1t is an easily tenable
proposition. And there could be no more

Clothes and Statues.
From the London Chronicle.

A Londoner's quest for a top-hatted
statue has proved fruitless. but has re-
vealed many unlovely specimens Of the
sculptor's art. The statue Of George Pea
body, opposite the Royal Exchange, is
perhaps the most glazing example of the
ugliness of modern attire when carved in
stone. Many people. however, might feel
disposed to award the palm of hideous-
ness to a statue fortunately concealed in
secluded spot. This is the effigy Of
George II. 1.-The mournful statue the

Rolling Stock Taxation.

Senator Strobe of Amherst has Of
fered bill which has for its object the
distribution of the rolling stock taxes of
the roads among the counties and cities
of the state. He would have the taxes
paid that way instead of into the treasur-
les of the cities and towns In which the
principal Offices of the companies are To-
Gated. as is the case at this time. This
would mean an immense loss to the cities
of the state and would give 20 the coun-
ties good deal more of revenue than
they now receive. Richmond would lose
considerably more than 100000 in cash
by the adoption of such a bill, and in
cidentally the railroads Of the state would
save good deal by reason of the fact
that the rate is considerably lower in
some OF the counties than it is in the
cities. That much would be saved to
the railroads, and they are not disposed
to interpose a very vigorous objection to
the measure. The bill means that one of
the most stubborn fights OF the Iegisla-
ture will be precipitated when the mat
