RELIGIOUS CHANGE IN. INDIA
Influence of the West Is Being Strong
Iy Felt Throughout the ~.
". Country.

midas religious and social progress
is undergoing important reshapement.
Caste is loosening. Adherents of Hin
duism are divided at present into three
camps; the ceremonalists, or those
who in orthodox faith adhere to the
traditional rites of worship and sacri'
fee to the ancient gods; the REFORM
lists, who, holding to the main ten
cts of Hinduism, are breaking away
from caste and idolatry, and the edu'
Gated Hindus, whose views are being
highly colored by influences from the
West and whose religion, as far as any
one can perceive, is often little more
than a name.
Christianity is adding not less than
100000 converts during the past
year, but almost entirely from the low
est Hindu society, which has little In
fuence upon the educated communl-
ties. The Indian tendency seems to be
to retain the main principles ana
forms of Hinduism, but to reVivify
them with the more generous and al
truistic spirit of Western religion. AS
one missionary teacher expressed IT,
the future religion of Indina will be
Christian in spirit, but with Hinduism
and the Indian sacred books as the
Old Observation-Disclosures Herald.

WHERE APPLES CAME FROM
TWO Varieties CT Fruit Found WIG
in Europe, but Region Near Cas-
plan Sea Is Birthplace.
CBv +. P. POWELL.)

There are two varieties of apples
found lid in Europe, but the region
adjacent TO the Caspian sea seems TO
have been the birthplace Of the apple
as known in the east. Charred pieces
OF apples are found in the heaps or
refuse left by the Lake Dwellers, who
occupied portions Of Europe before
any OF the present races. These peo-
pie lived on platforms laid over piles
driven into the water-probably to
protect themselves from animals, III
an era before metal weapons were
known. These specimens of apples
are generally carbonized by heat, but
they show perfectly the internal
structure Of the fruit. These are 1--WE
types Of native American q pies, all
OF them crabs. John Smith wrote
from Virginia that he had found
some new crabapples, but they were
small and bitter" New Englanders
made the same report. The Soulard
has the reputation of being the larg-
est and best Of these natives. Sprouts
OF this variety, like the Matthews, are
improved in size and quality. Selec-
tons might probably be made from
western thickets, of even better sorts
than are now known. I believe the
blood Of the wild crab is in some OF
our best orchard apples.

Horse ls Still King.

when it became recognized fact
that the automobile was a practical
thing, the prediction was. freely made
that the horse would pass away, but
we find today that there are more
horses in the United States than ever
before" remarked Alfred Watkins. an
old sea captain of Norfolk, at the
Raleigh.
1T is true, we rarely see horses on
the streets of our big cities, but there
are plenty Of them In the country, and
the farmer thinks just as much of a
good horse now as he did In the old
days. So, too, have observed that
our men of wealth, who for time
took to the motor car, are coming
back to the fast trotter and roadster.
There is nothing like real life when 1t
comes to sport, and an automobile Is
an inanimate thing" Washington

MULCH SMALL FRUIT VINES
Prevents Growth of Weeds, Retains
Moisture and Adds Rumus, One
of Most Needed Elements.

A successful West Virginia rasp-
berry grower gives the following rea'
sons for mulching:
1t prevents the growth Of weeds.
1t retains moisture in the soil
1t adds humus, one Of the necessary
elements.
1t keeps the fruit clean and pre-
vents mud at picking time.
1t saves labor and the cost OF
mulching an acre with forest leaves
or straw not exceeding SIS.
1t prevents deep freezing.
II makes the fruit more solid for
cultivation and better for shipping
purposes.
1t prevents the banking of the soil
caused by the tramping at picking
time.
1t has the disadvantage of encour
aging mice and establishing a surface
root system. However, we have moi
noticed any serious damage from
either Of these effects.
The cost Of growing raspberries b.
natures method, as l like to call it
is not very great. Picking is nice
Job where there is no mud, no weeds
and where the canes have been prop
erly pruned.
Don't leave any cid canes standing
in the field.

Jackson's Victory Over Indians.

Jackson's Victory Over Indians.
One hundred years ago the desul-
tory warfare which Gen. Andrew jack
son had waged against the Creek In
dams for some months eliminated In
the battle Of Oakfuskas. The battle
continued for three days, and was
conducted with much ferocity on both
sides. Two hundred Of the Indians
were slain, while of General Jack
sons force Is were killed and 70
wounded. The victory was particular
ly gratifying to General Jackson. Dur
ing the winter his troops had been
poorly provisioned and as a result
much dissatisfaction began to mani
fest itself. Many Of the soldiers had
deserted and returned to their homes
In Tennessee. Those who were left,
half-starved, began to threaten mu-
tiny, and it required General Jackson's
greatest efforts to keep the insubordi-
mates down. The battle Of Oakfuskas
revived the spirits Of the army and
contributed in no small degree to the
winning of the decisive battle that
was soon to be fought at Horseshoe
Bend.

HOUSEKEEPING HINTS

Flowers have a direct influence on
health and beauty.
Spare ribs are much improved by
parboiling before roasting.
Meat broths should be made only
in porcelain or agate ware utensils.
To beat the whites Of eggs stiff, al
ways have them cold and add a pinch
of salt.
Camphorated oil will clean the
marks made by hot dishes on the pol
ished table.
Open canned fruit or vegetables and
pour into a dish several hours before
they are served.
A gas stove should be wiped on
each time 1t Is used and washed with
turpentine once week.
Prunes are greatly improved II
little cider is added to the water In
which they are cooked.
If the skin is oily, try wipins the
face off occasionally with diluted alco-
hol, rs per cent. strength.
Dreamed cauliflower served In
green shells makes a dish as tasty as
it is satisfying to the eye.

AWAY WITH DRY SWEEPING
Unsanitary and Dangerous, the Mod
ern Housewife Should Substitute
Dustless Cleaning Methods.

The various methods Of dustless
cleaning are deservedly popular In
these days of preventive medicine
Dust is dangerous to health. "Air
germs are mostly dust germs, and
the number of disease germs in the
air Is usually in direct proportion to
the amount of dust contained in 1t.
Disease germs which are cast into
dry, dustless air soon lose their pow
er to cause disease. But when they
can attach themselves to dust parti-
cles, they are protected and retain the
moisture which is necessary for their
life, for long periods of time.
tuberculosis germs, for example,
will live and retain their disease-pro-
ducing power from one to nine months
on indoor dust, and as long as two
months on street dust.
Dust found indoors, especially IN
dark, damp, poorly ventilated places,
is more dangerous than outdoor dust
which Is dried by being blown about
duu ID SuUJCSlC0 W thS PoA ~ tA0 S~S->~
of the direct rays Of the sun.
Besides being a carrier OF disease
germs, dust is an enemy Of health In
an indirect way. 1t acts as mechani-
cal irritant to the delicate mucous
membrane lining the breathing or
gans.
This irritation, II continued. causes
mild Inflammation, or catarrhal con-
dition, lowers the natural resistive
powers of these delicate structures,
thereby preparing the soil for the
growth OF disease germs which may
find their way there.
Floors, carpets, walls and furniture
the whole house, in fact, can and
should be cleaned without making
dust. Dry sweeping and dry busting
simply stir up the dust from one place
to let it settle again at another.

VALUE OF HARDY EVERGREENS
Give Warmth and Color to the Farm
Garden Which Cannot Be Obtain
ed in Any Other Way.
(By w. R. GARDNERD


In winter evergreen trees and shrubs
give warmth and color to the garden
which cannot be obtained in any other
way. Some criticise the growing of
laurels, but they grow rapidly and
soon create shelter and warmth and
the dark foliage tends to make place
cheerful.
The best laurels are Rohendipolis
Ground leaved) and Latifolia Qarge
leaved).
These are harder than the common
laurel, which suffers in very extreme
winters.
Holly, box and yew should not be
ignored, because no matter what may
be the soil or situation, with fair treat
ment they will thrive.
There Is considerable variety in the
hollies, especially In the color OF the
foliage. 1t should be remembered In
planting them that there are sexes in
the shrub and only the females bear
berries. The psychologist has not been
able to explain why some kinds should
be sexual and others have the organs
Of reproduction as separate plants.
Among other evergreens are bush
and tree ivies and the Berries family
and the Golden Privets are charming
bush trees and make a very neat d.
version in garden but they are not
strong enough for a boundary fence.
Of course we cannot do without ca
nopies. They give elevation and break
up the fat surfaces where many low
things are planted. The Lawson Cy-
press in some of it's varieties are very
effective and the brooms in variety
charming.
