Horse Is Still King.

when it became a 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 a time
took to the motor car. are coming
back to the fast trotter and roadster.
There is nothing like real life when II
comes to sport, and an automobile is
an inanimate thing" Washington
Post.

RELIGIOUS CHANGE IN INDIA
Influence Of the West 10 Being Strong
ly 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
fluence upon the educated communi'
ties. The Indian tendency seems to be
to retain the main principles and
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

APOSTLE OF COMMON PEOPLE
Charles Dickens the First Author 70
Give insight Into the Hero
lem Of the Poor.

A recent number Of the London
Dickensian contains a Sketch of
Charles Dickens which presents him
as "tte apostle Of the people," The
people as represented in ordinary
men and women, it says, had never
been articulate until Dickens, who
as the genius Of the commonplace,
became their mouthpiece. Until he
came upon the scene to champion
them, the common people had al
ways been misrepresented even by
Shakespeare, Fielding and Scott.
Dickens understood the common
people with an understanding that
is only born of fellowship in suffer-
ing and Of the charity that is love.
He knew what poverty was, the ar
ticle asserts, for he had felt its Bit
ter bite and sting. "As boy" says
the Dickensian, che must have given
eager ear to countless stirring tales
of the wars that had lately convulsed
the whole western world ; yet in spite
of all this he manifested throughout
his life spirit of anti-militarism.
He went out of his way to avoid de-
scription of battlefield, just as he
refrained from putting the heroism
Of sudden effort before the day-to-
day, hand-to-mouth heroism of the
DOOR"

LAND OF MIXED RACES.

Peru, whose English president has
been exiled, has within her borders
a bewildering variety of races. There
are the white people of Spanish de-
scent, the mestizos (half Spanish,
half native), and the Indians. The
indians themselves are of two races,
those of the mountains and those of
the forests. The highlanders are
treated as beasts of burden by the
other classes. So accustomed are
they to being cheated that when an
English traveller recently exploring
the Andes paid his porters without
b grumble or a deduction he over
heard them excitedly commenting
upon the fact that the "Ingles" had
paid all that was agreed upon.

What is believed to be the largest
central power plant in any coal field
In the United States is now being con-
structed by the Lehigh Navigation
Electric company, at Hauto, Pa.
As Is well known, the fine sizes Of
anthracite. such as buckwheat No. 3
and smaller, although containing a
high heat content, possess but little
present value at the mines. The fun
damental idea in building this power
plant at Hauto, says Coal Age, is to
convert this low-priced and, from the
monetary standpoint, comparatively
worthless fuel into commercially valu-
able electric current.
A considerable proportion of the
fuel mined in the country today is
used in the generation of electricity.
Particularly during the past few years
the idea has been gaining force that II
is cheaper to manufacture power at
the mine and transmit 1t to the point
OF application than It is to ship the
coal over an equal distance and there
convert II into electric energy In a
small and isolated plant IN
One Of the unique features Of the
plant is the fact that the ashes from
the furnaces can be discharged direct
into air-dump ash cars Of standard
gauge and run into the building be-
low the boiler room floor. The ex-
pense of ash disposal is thus greatly
reduced.

10000 cubic feet capacity carried q
player piano, young society wom-

landed seven miles from the starting
point. The piano, platform, six bags

Jaekson,s Victory Over indians.

SaSNcSho wv
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 we're 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.
