RELIGIOUS CHANGE IN INDIA
Influence of the West Is Being etrohe'
ly Felt Throughout the
Country.

midas religious and social progress
is undergoing important reshapemenI
Caste is loosening. Adherents or 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 sacrl'
fica 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 eau
Gated Hindus. whose views are being
highly colored by influences from the
West and whose religion, as far az 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
fiuence upon the educated communi-
ties. The Indian tendency seems to De

Martial LAW.

Martial law, which was proclaimed
lately over the greater part of South
Africa, has not beee known in Eng
land for considerably over a century
and has seldom been employed in the
empire.
Yet its validity in times of domes-
tic trouble and war is recognized by
a clause from the petition Of rights
inserted in the army act which the
British parliament passes every year.
Essentially, martial law means that
the ordinary law is suspended, be-
cause it is too cumbrous and slow, in
favor of summary judgment in times
of great stress.
The last occasion it was proclaimed
in London was the Gordon riots in
1880 and the Jacobite rebellions OF
1715 and 1745 brought about the same
state of affairs throughout Great Brit
ain.

Starving and exhausted chamois,
stays and roe deer (cheryreuils) are
descending from their mountain fast
nesses in the Canton of Grisons and

On these mountains the snow lies
six feet deep and the cold has been
intense. Even above Arosa and Klos-
tiers famished deer have been found,
while near Davos a large stag was
discovered in a stable.

One hundred years ago the desul-

dians 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
" gratifying to General Jackson. Dur
ing the winter his troops had been
poorly provisioned and as 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
