RAMS HELP INDIAN VILLAGE
Good Rice Crops Grown In Abundant
Moisture and Region Is Noted
for Good Cattle.

Sylhet Is q city In the most curious
part Of India--the great, low lying,
iungly, flooded, tea and rice districts
of the far Southeast. Sylhet tea is
known all over the peninsula.
SO low do these regions lie that the
heavy rains of the rainy season result
in their being flooded for many months
Of the year. Though far inland, after
the rains this Is literally q sea, where
all travel Is by boat and even ships of
some size can navigate. The torren-
tial downpours flood the lower parts of
the country to depth of many feet.
There is one little village Mt the base
of the Khasia hills which had meas
ured rainfall of 60 feet in one year,
an exchange says.
The villages of this curious district
about Sylhet are set on the crest of
hills. After the rains fall they are is
lands. The people are very expert
boatmen and the children can swim
almost as soon as they can walk.
This is probably the only part of In

not unlike the American Is manufac-
tured by following out tree trunk
very thin. Larger canoes, propelled
by 20 paddles are made in the same
way, and canoe racing is one Of the
principal sports.
The vinagers Of these island villages
keep dlmlnutive cattle which they feed
largely on marsh grasses cut from
boats. AS result of abundant feed
and lack of exercise, the cows grow
fat and sleek to degree unusual
among the lean Indian cattle. Their
milk, butter and cheese are known as
delicacies in the nearby cities. These
same villages raise unusually fine rice,
by planting before the rains begin.
AS the country Is flooded, the stalks
Of the rice grow with the rising sur
face of the waters, so that rice stalks
ten feet long may be seen when the
floods recede.

Yiddish.

Yiddish Is term used to designate
a language which is spoken at the pres
ent moment by some millions Of peo-
pie. Strictly speaking, Yiddish Is not
a language, nor dialect, but a jargon
the Jargon used by Judeo-German
communities dwelling chiefly In Ger
many and Russia, and by the immi-
grants coming from those countries to
the United States. Yiddish owes its
existence to the persecution to which
the Jews were subjected In Germany
ut the time of the Reformation. Its es-
sential basis is high German, with an
admIxture Of Hebraic and Slavic els'
ments.
