CALCUTTA, January 3. 1911.
There is a widespread feeling in Calcutta
that neither the native Mohammedans nor
Hindus We're responsible for the recent
rioting there, but that the mischief makers
were the fierce tribesmen from the north
west frontier, commonly known as IA
bulls, who make living in Calcutta by
combination of peddling. money lend
ing and blackmail. The Kabulis are the
most lawless of the inhabitants Of Cal
cutta and are always a terror to the To-
cality in which they live.
The rioting took place on the occasion
of the celebration of the Mohammedan
IN commemoration of Abraham's offerins
of his son Isaac, and the sacrifice Of cows
IS an indispensable feature of the full
ritual. On the other hand, the Hindus
view the killing Of what Is to them sa-
cred animal with deep resentment. and
each recurring anniversary gives rise to
outbreaks of violence in various parts OF
India. The Hindus charge the Moham-
medans with making the rite an excuse
for insulting their religion, and color
has been giver to the charge more than
once. On the other hand. the Hindu mob
has been frequently equally guilty of in
fringing the religious liberty which 1t Is
the aim of British rule to secure for all
beliefs in India.
Sacrifice Started Outbreak.
The outbreak centered on the sacrifice
Of cow In the mosque in Armenian
street. 1t is used by the poorer classes,
among them the syces and coachmen of
the ne:ghborhood.
From being entirely Mohammedan, the
locality has now come to be almost as
thickly populated with Marwaris as with
Mohammedans. though in the opinion Of
a European police official the Mohamme-
dams yet preponderats. Being situated IN
the very center of the Marwari town OF
Calcutta, each available plot of land or
house is greedily bought up by the Mar
warts, as the Mohammedan families die
out or are compelled for other reasons to
sell.
element had been steadily growing
among the Hindus. Thursday, December
8, all the Marwari firms closed their shops
and Marwari brokers generally refused to
do any business. Large and threatening
crowds of Hindus assembled in the vi
cinity of the mosque. while numbers OF
Pathans and Mohammedans Of all kinds
gathered around the building. f. repre-
sentative of the ''Englishman,' who visit
ed tire mosque Thursday afternoon, found
that the temper of the outer fringe OF the
crowd, composed of HindUs, was dis
tinctly anti-European On the other hand
the MOflammedans showed a tendency to
welcome Europeans, and those in charge
of the mosque invited him to enter the
inclosed yeranda which is shut off from
the street by heavy door. Some OF the

She does not wear a harcm skirt.

The disposition that she has might

She has no foolish whims or fads,

And more important still, perhaps,
she's graceful and she's pretty.
She has no time for trashy books,
she never looks inside them;
Her talents are uncommon ones. and

Shrubs and Flowers Have Acquired
Names in Peculiar Ways.

In the naming of plants in the

them designations suggested by other
objects. some exceedingly whimsical
titles have been bestowed. How did
that beautiful plant of early spring.

called lily of the valley? The Ger
man name of "Maybells" is more APP
propriate There is another plant
of which the name bella donna. beau
tiful lady" has been given and which
has quite supplanted its earlier and
more significant title of deadly night
shade \ great many plants are rec
ognized by names having reference
to some animal. The cat loves a
special mint. hence the name cat
mint or catnip. We have the bee
orChiS and the tly-orChis, resembling
the bee and the fly, and the flower
of the single columbine is like an
assemblage of doves Latin for col

gown
But before YOU raise your voices
in praise to its fair creator pause
and consider whether. after all, it
will be any easier for you to wind
your wife into gown than to hook
her up. For that is what You are
going to be up against when she &C
quires this new Partisan dream
To be sure. your fingers will no
longer be compelled to struggle with
stubborn hooks that tear both tenn
pes and insertions. but always miss
the hidden eyes but substituted for
that inuuisition will be another form
of boud0ir torture far more subtle
ana effective.
List to the directions which its
inventor, Miss Estelle Richmond. OF
the "Follies Of 1911" gives for don
ming it:
Take the lovely filmy material -
do YOU get the filmy part land
Just as it is cut from its bolt in
the exporters shop. wrap it and
drape it about the figure. starting
at the knees.
Wind it tightly all the way to
the shoulders and then carry 1t
downward at a slashing angle across
the bosom to the waist. Then you
tuln it once and then fasten it with
girdle or a big French bow of the
same material, or a piece of wide
ribbon"
That's all there is to it. Your
wife is now gowned and ready to &C
company you to the theater.
Well. you would abuse those hooks
