There is an extensive trout hatchery
at Achibal, one of the gardens and
palaces built by the romantic Emperor
Jehangir, to shelter his beautiful be-
loved, Nur Mahal. AS soon as the baby
trout are old enough they are put into
the streams inside the garden, and
when they have reached n more sedate
age they are turned out of paradise
to chance their fate in the big river.
Fishing permits are hard TO come by,
and the angler is only allowed to catch
II very limited number of fish.
The eight springs which feed the
Achibal river are among the wonders
of Kashmir; there are four outside
the imperial garden and four within.
The water from these springs goes
out into all the countryside, bringing
verdure and happiness in its train. 1t
is most fascinating to watch the water
bubbling aup mysteriously from the
heart of the rock. Crystal clear ii
energies, moves for while in quiet
eddy, then hurls itself down the wa
tercourses with a rollicking, light
sense of envy in the onlooker.
Kashmir is an onchantress with
gifts for ALL The artist finds it an
Elysian dwelling place, and cannot de-
eide whether dawn or sunset gives him
the more exquisite moments. When
spring comes with its wealth of wild
flowers, he thinks nothing could con-
tent him more, till the hand of autumn
touches the great chenar trees with a
glory of gold and crimson. The archie
Ologist can explore innumerable
shrnes and temples. The great ruin
of Martund alone might occupy him
many a day. How did this noble con-
ception of a temple, with its elegant
and restrained austerity, come to be
built on a lonely Indian plain? Why
are the fluted pillars of the colOnnades
so entirely Greek in design? Why
does the massive central temple re-
mind us of an Egyptian pylon?
Fine Place for Sportsmen.
The artist and the archeologist are,
after all, exceptional people, and Kash-
mir is mostly remembered as the hap
by hunting ground Of the sportsman.
1t is easy TO arrange a shoot from q

FL Paso, Tex-Villa bandits have

campaign of terror, which further is
marked by Villista occupancy OF other
cities recently, according to arrivals

Before reaching Chihuahua, the ar.
rivals say, they were told by Mex
leans fleeing from Parral that Villa
had caused oil to be poured upon
the heads OF two women who had
angered him. and had set fire TO
the oil-soaked hair, making the wo-
men human torches. With heads
ablaZe, the two women ran screaming
through the town until they dropped
exhausted and quickly died.
The names of 60 Mexicans, who
were put to death by villa at Santa
Rosalia, are reported by refugees to
have been sent to Chihuahua by
Villa as a warning TO the people of
that city of the fate that awaits those
who oppose Villista occupancy.
Many families Of prominent Mex

that warning was sent from Mexico

Refugees from the Santa Rosalia
district confirmed the reported kill

American physician, who for so years
had been treating the poor people
without charge. He was stabbed to
death by Villa bandits because he
would not give them $4,000 American

" VEN to think of the quiet rivers
- and lakes of Kashmir revives
such memoried atmosphere
of serenity that for time the
roar and crash of London fades into
silence. Who can forget the dramatic
moment when the dust and clatter of
the high-road leading into Kashmir is
changed for the leisurely calm of the
Jhelum river and the safe asylum of
a houseboat? TO know that the near
est railway station is 200 miles away
in itself brings peace to our souls,
writes Lady Muir Mackenzie in COun-
try Life. Thomas Moore, who never
visited any part of India, yet succeeds
with the magic of his words in repro
ducing the ever-present glamour Of this
fairy kingdom in such lines as these:
Who has not heard of the vale of Cash
mere
With its roses the brightest the earth
Its temples and grottoe5 and fountains as
clear
AS the love-lighted eyes that hang over
the wave.
It could not have been easy for the
poet to realize that in this favored
valley rough winds rarely blow, and
that unruflled lake and river reflect
snow-capped mountains and the YER
dure of spreading trees as clearly as
any lOoking-glass. l wish he could
have come with us across the Wular
lake and watched the fish darling TO
and fro far below amid the varied bios
SONS of this unique water garden.
The human life on the river claims
the interest of the traveller equally
with the scenery. The whole pOpula-
tion seem to live on or by the Jhelum,
and though they spend many hours
bathing, the result, as far as cleanliness
goes. is exceedingly disappointing. The
Kashmiri women, however, are very
beautiful, in spite of the dirt which
wraps them round. They work along
side their menkind, padding, polling or
towing the boats, and often, in addi-
ton TO doing a mans work, they hold
the last born baby in their arms. They
do not look bashful or timid like the
women of southern India, for their men
seem to grant them a rough equality.
The river, being the sole channel for
commercial transport, is crowded with
boats laden with the produce of the
country, more especially maize. All
along the banks women may be seen
The Yale expositor., 1916-11-09

armed with long poles pounding maize
or rice in primitive mortars, while the
men chop up the straw as food for
their cattle.
One of the chief industries is the ex-
port of timber. Great tree trunks, cut
i'm the extensive Kashmir forests, are
launched into streams tributary to
the Jhelum, and they float down the
river till they reach the Punjab plains.
Here they are retrieved in the shallow
water and sold at a fair profit. On
the lower reaches of the river hun
dreds of logs lie like derelicts piled up
on each side of the bank, waiting to
be relocated next spring. They are
quite safe, for 1t is a hanging matter
If anyone NEEDLES with this desirable
flotsam.
How They Spear Fish.
It Is interesting to watch the Kash-
mlri fisherman at work. He stands
liz the prov of his boat spear in hand,
and having marked down his prey far
below In the depth of the water, he
then, with incredible swftness, makes
a dart with his spear, then twirls
IL aloft round his head, and, behold,
there is a wriggling monster on the
end of it. / have watched a man catch
fish after fish like this, in unbelievable
numbers and at marvellous pace.
Kashmiri fish, for the most part, are
not popular food for Europeans, as
they taste like boiled cotton wool; but
the European trout, recently In
troduced into the rivers, would satisfy
the taste of the most critical gourmet.

SANE FOURTHFOR
CITY is BOOSTED
Movement Is Launched to Have Safe
Celebration of National Holiday
at Long View.

Rock Island is to have a safe and
sane celebration of the Fourth of
July, if plans now under considera-
ton are given sufficient encourage
ment. A committee is at work on the
proposition and the project is said to
be gaining in favor.
Permission from the park board has
been obtained to hold the celebration
at Long View park. 1t is expected
that a band concert will be given in
the afternoon, and in the evening there
will be fine display Of fireworks.
The success which Moline has at
tanned in its municipal observance Of
the holiday has prompted a move
ment here along somewhat similar
lines The horrors of the old-fashion-

1t is thought that thousands would
be glad of the opportunity to come to

money is secured, a pleasing program

EXERCISES HELD
ATST.ANTH0NY'S

Exercises for the class of 1916 at st.
Anthony's hospital were held last
evening and goodly number of those
affiliated with the institution gathered
to do honor to the newly graduated
nurses, Misses Mary Elizabeth Kale,
Catherine Josephine Dixon and Sister

faithful and punctual at all times.
Talks also were given by DR.. H. c.
First and DR.. Joseph DeSilva, the lat
ter discussing education and develop
ment OF the mind in which he eulo-
gized the graduates on the earnest eff
forts they have shown in the pursuit
of knowledge.
Father Roche took the class motto,
In Omnibus Charitas, as a subject for
his talk and followed the life of the
nurse in the sick room and ON the bat
tie field, picturing to them the tri-
angle of the clergy, the doctor and the
nurse, whether she be the sister of
charity or the uniformed servant, that
she will always keep in mind the mot
to, In all things charity" on her
journey through life.
DR.. W. d. Snively gave advice on the
nurses obligation and on her duty
TO her profession, to the doctor and to
the patient.
The Florence Nightingale pledge
was then taken and the diplomas pre-
scented, after which the guests repair
