At q railway station In Calcutta,
early in the morning, a long train, con
sisting largely Of third-class carriages,
is made up, amid the clamor Of dis
putes, invariably incident to any Jpur-
chase in the Orient. My feilow-pas.
sengers, pilgrims on their way to the
Holy City, are buying from venders
greasy sweets or tough dough cakes
indigestible to any but an oriental
stomach. These venders are invaria.
bly, Of high caste, according to the Hin
du system Of social position, for no
Hindu will buy food or drink from
one OF lower caste than himself.
The great civilizer in India. how
ever, as elsewhere, is the railway,
which has made It necessary for the
Brahman to sit next to the despisef
Sudra IL he would travel. On ali or.
dinary occasions, should the paasen.
gers Of one compartment all be OF one
caste, they put their feet out OF the
window for want Of space--and sleep
in peace and security. Should they
be Of different castles, however. all
but the lowest, the Sudra, sit rfgidly
erect, guarding against defilement cf
their caste by touch Of their more
unfortunate felloV-trayelers. Chrie-

GOOD FEED FOR THE INDIAN
Cactus Fruit 10 Never Likely to Be.
como Extremely Popular as q
Delloaey for the White.

Nobody but an Indian knows how
to eat prickly pear. The fruit grows
on the edge Of q thick green leaf, and
bristles with myrtads Of closely set
thorns, sharp as needles and 1ine as
hairs. Though they cannot be Reen
with the naked eye, they can certainly
be felt, as any one who has tried the
usual method Of picking them With q
pocket Handkerchief can tsstify, The
nns thorns penetrate the fingers and
the flesh swells. testers. becomes In
namsd and, IL neglected, often de-
velops into q serious case OF blood:
poisoning. When an Indian wants to
eat 1t he cuts a small stick. sharpens
II and thrusts the point into the ripe
fruit. Slicing OF tho pear with sharp
knife and holding It on tho stick, he
peels It. taking care to avoid touching
the rind with his fingers. He drops the
peel on the ground to the bitter sor
row OF any barefoot boy who happens
to step on It. A liking for cactus fruit
may be acquired, like the taste for
olives. but It is not likely to rival the
cantaloupe or even the humble grape
fruit in popular favor. Il resembles
cracked walnut shells moisteped with
water, mixed with. sAwdust5 and cork
and sprinkled with brown sugar, ut.
tie lemon Juice and a dash OF quininS.
Any one who tastes 1t once is satisfied
TO let tho Indians gather the &ntire
crop

Of relays of men In an effort to incite

There were several thousand men
and women in the funeral parade af-
ter It had left the strike headquarters
amid scenes Of riot and extraordin.
AIRY confusion.
The strike leaders had planned to
make the most Of Rodguez's funeral
as demonstration to enlist sym.
pathy, and the line of march took in
the entire length of West street,
Whitehall and South street, thence
tn Roosevelt street, to Cherry street,
to the Bowary and to Williamsburg
Bridge.
Funeral services were held in the
strike headquarters and the casket
was carried out to the hearse and
placed inside. As soon as the streets
could be cleared of the shouting and
gesticu,ating men and women and the
tangle of trucks, the hearse started
off at the head of 80 carriages.
1t had covered less than a-block
when the driver was ordered to stop
and the casket was taken from the
hearse. At the same time men and
women piled out of the 80 carriages
and went along on foot, carrying the
floral offerings and waving strings of
ribbons.
Proceeding in this fashion, some
one in the great throng started fun
eral chant in Spanish, which is the
language of the majority Of the strik.
ers. This chant was taken up all
along the line of the procession, and
was continued throughout the march
to the cemetery.
The 80 empty carriages followed
the pail bearers who carried the cas-
ket. The empty hearse was driven
at the head Of the cortege.
