Ignorance and unsophistication ar
qualities often—nay, usually—found
among the peasants of the European
countries. An especially curious ser
of ignorance was observed in a corner
of the peninsula by the authors of Xis
adventures with a Donkey in Spain
Tile villagers there seem to have been
more familiar with the camera than
with pictures drawn by the artist's
hand. The book says.
The usual questioning by the peas-
ant's revealed a depth of simplicity In
them even greater than we had met
before. They had reached queation
eight and we had replied that we were
painters.
"You will do good trade in the vil-
lages of this district,' said one of the
men; "there are houses to paint. Itis
the season of the year." --
"But," we replied, "we are not house
painters."
"Not house painters!" they cried,
amazed. "But what then do you
paint?"
"We make pictures—portralts, land-
scapes, people, and so on,"
"Aha, yes," they said, satisfied, "we
understand now. You work with the
machine. You are photographers."
"Na," we answered; "we are not
photographers."
"But how then?" they asked. "How
can one make pictures without the ma-
chine?"
"We do it with the hands," we said;
example. these pictures"—point:
ing to the religious portraits that dec-
orated
ecorated the whitewashed walls—"these
pictures are done with hands by.
artists. Drawn!" We made gesticula-
tions of sketching.
11 "Ah, no!" they replied, wagging
their Heade wisely at us, "These pie -
tures are made with machines. They
are photographs of the saintly person-
ages."
We had some difficulty In persued•
ing then that the pictures emanated
from the imagination of the artist, and
that a picture of St. Mark dressed in
a monkish cowl, holding in his hands
a bound volume, accompanied by a
ion with a most carefully dressed
chignon, was not a photograph from
nature. 0 do not think that we left an
effective wound in their simple faith,
but the discovery that the pictures
were not strictly true did give them
omething of a shock.

Rats In India.
A former Indian official says that
rats are one of the greatest curses of
India, There are bundreds of millions
of then, and they cannot be extermin-
ated because of religious bellefs, The
Hindu will harry the rat, but will not
kill him; the Mohammedan, who does
not object to killing knows that with-
out help he can do nothing. And so
the evil continues. It is no exaggera-
Oen to say -that, 1f the number of rats
could be kept down to a reasonable
figure, the wealth of India would be in-
ct•eased a fifth.

Where They Paid in Sugar:
In St. Kitts, or St, Christopher, as
island is the West Indies, during the
great days of its prosperity, which ex-
tended from the reign;ot William and
Mary well into the reign of George IV.,
there was little -or no handling of
money. Everything, nays Sir 1Preder
tole Thoves in the Cradle of the' Deep,
was paid for in sugar, indigo or tobac-
co.
Servants' wages wore paid in sugar.
A skilled artisan, after four years of
free service, received four thousand
pounds a year. That curious salary he
would exchange for goods •sent out.
