HANDBOOK OF INDIA NOW
 READY

hEAD1
 An export field that has not, in the past, been cit en adequate considera- tion by American manufacturers-a field, moreover, of almost limitless po- tentialities-is that of India. That Empire, by reason of it's vast popula tion, it's splendid (even if unequally distributed) resources, and the new wants creat,'d by the gradual develop ment of molernity among an ancient people, presents to the American eX- porter a singdlarly attractive oppor- tunity for tie exercise of his conner cial energy and acumen. It is a land where poverty exists by the side of almost fabulous splendor: where fam inc may sue eed time of plenty; where the intensity of tropical heat and great rans of the monsoon cause strange co d'tions in the preserva- tion and sale of merchandise; where religious beliefs or racial traditions may constitute the determining fac tors in the marketing of goods.
 India has been characterized by recent writer as "the treasure sink" and to an Ar erican commercial tray eler it seems "ekil a bottomless pit, into which supplies may be sent in an endless stream" Certain 1t Is that the Indian field is eminently worth cultivating. and that to work 1t ef- fectively much information is needed, available kind Those engaged in the furtherance of American foreign trade have been devoting to it the most thorough and painstaking attention, and to these investigations a specia, imeliness has been imparted by the European War. India, in 1913-14, inn ported iron Germany and Austria Hungary, respectively, S4i,092,O0 and S13,920,000 worth of goods.
 India has population of 315,000000 and an area of 1,SO2,192 square miles. Its imports ir 1913-14 amounted to the enormous total of $594, ,517,000 of which the United States furnished only S15,542,000 The value of American products consumed annually in India is less than }0.04 per capita. Persons qualified to form an authoritative op- inion believe that thiss hould be very materially in -reased.
 In an effor. to stimulate interest in the Indian market and to emphasize the salient aspects of he trade, the Bureau of Foreign and Domestic Com merce has prepared a handbook of about $40 pages, dealing with the re sources, industries, and commerce of India. This book contains many il- lustrations, large detailed map, and facts concerning a multitude of Indian activities and conditions. It describes thoroughly the trade in all important imports. Every subject having a bear ing on trada and its expansion has been covered. There are interesting accounts Of the ative States, and of Ceylon, Afghanistan. aai Tibet.

GOLDEN THOUGHTS,

Fear-the consequence of wicked ness.
 It Is easy to appreciate the points of a sermon when they are sticking the other fellow.
 Many would speedily reach the heavenly haven if progress could be secured by blowing their own sails.
 Receive no satisfaction for premed itated impertinence; forget it, but keep him inexorably at a distance who offered it.
 The sweetest music is not in the oratorio, but in the human voice when it speaks from its instant life tones of tenderness, truth and courage.
 The desire of power in excess caused the angels to fall; the desire of knowl. edge in excess caused man to fall; but in charity there Is no excess.
 Hope is the sweetest friend that ever kept a distressed soul company; it beguiles the tediousness of the way and all the miseries of your pilgrim. age.-Woman's Life.
