In the Battle of Blenheim 17,000 men were killed. In the )3ackergunge cyclone, which visited the Ganges delta in 1876, 100;000 human beings` were drowned in the tidal waves that swept over the land, and as !nein' more died as a result of the pesti- lence and famine that followed after •the waters. Everybody has beard of the Battle of Blenheim in 1704, but how many people know that there was such a disaster as the Backer - gunge cyclone only fifty years ago? The only time that great storms are recorded in. history is when they. have played an active part in the see. fights of the world. We all know of the storm which wrecked the gal - Peons of the Spanish Armada after Drake had harried them, And this Is not the only occasion on which Spain suffered at the hands of the tempest. After the renowned fight of the B.evenge, in which Sir Richard Gren- ville took on a Spanish fleet of firtY- three ships single-handed and sank five of them, a great storm sprang up. It wrecked the remainder of the Spanish ships and the treasure fleet which they were escorting. So the little Revenge was mightily avenged.. In 1889 a hurricane was the means of averting war between Ger- many and the United States. War- ships from each af the countries had been despatched to the harbor of Apia, in Samoa. But before hos- tilities broke out a cyclone swept in- to the bay, and a all the ships col- lected there only the British warship Calliope survived.

"BRIDES OP THE SAINTS" Increasing, Oppositioil Is Being Made to Sacrifice of Yelling Chris, The eustOm by which Hindu par - eats dedicate their young claughtere for life, withoet stay choice ot thetr own, to the services of the tetaple godse or the priests Is arousing in- creasing opposition, in India. A. recent case, In which three girls Were coneeerated to a priest who 15 described as a "saint," has been IA- Strut:dental in starting a campaign for the total abolition of the custone. The origin of thie custom WEIS the PIOUS idea of dedicating a 'child to a god, Though exalusivelY an abor- iginal and Dravadian practice, it was slightly 'analogous to the custom pre- vailing Laming the pagan Romaaa, who coneecrated veetal virgins to the temples. Such virgins Jared a pure lige, were held in high esteem, and respected. They were allowed, on reaching ma- turity, eitber to continue this service of the gods or to abandon ft and retura to ordinary life. In course of time, however, the pious objet of their calling was lost sight ot, the essential condition of their purity and the rectitude of their conduct came to be ignored, and they fell into loose life. Mr. Gandhi, the Indian Nationalist leader, has now denounced the' "saints," who call on the true be- lievers to come Iorwerci and dedicate the lives of their young deughtere or wives to their services, The India.n National Herald, a • leading 13ombay newspaper, cites the case of a "saint" who came sPeeiallY to Bombay from his up -country home to gain converts. Crowds of devoted Hindus went to the bealftiful residenee high up on the Malabar Hill to catch a glimpse or obtain a blessing for themselves and their families of this "holy''' one.

The old plea of "one more chance" stems to.have been the turning point in allowing a dance hall •to stay opee 111 Hunillton after it had been proved to the hilt that the place was a bowl or corruption. Reading from a report of the Ham.- iltoti Police Commission we gather the following views: Chief Coulter of the police depart- ment agreed that the oeilly thing to do was close the place. , Magistrate Jeffs •said, "We ought to shut the place down at once," Inspector Burns of the Children's Aid Society, testified that three young girls who' had recently been sent to the reformatory told hitn their downfall was due. to having at- teeded dances at this hall. Yet when it ettme to a vote the idea prevailed that there should be one more chance,- and that if another complaint was registered the plaee should be closed.' The report from Hamilton also says that seveml of those who are trustees- of the premises are prom- inent temperance and churchmen in that city, Apparently neither their convic- tions nor their religion are of the sort that is going to stand in, the way of the tevenue growing from the dance hall recelptS, no Matter how tOtiert 111437 be there, , The farmer'beet friend is the Vamily Herald .r.tnd Weekley Star, old pui1 eiteJairnIngz "YOU' tnnst give ,MOntreat It, costs only a dollar al t'he, 151140 ef.Ytalt aelaia leaatne. t, Yeitr, and the family circle gees a su-1 have .aIready. begun to teach bit hoc I note*. and he ktolvs, three" peal maln'Ant free.
