The Greed For Gold India a Glutton In Si wallowing Up the Yellow Metal. HOARDS IT LIKE A MISER TOO i Millions on Millions in Bullion and Golden Coins Flow -its o That Coun- try Every Year, Hardly Any of Which Returns or Is Ever Sden Again. .A. steady stream of gold bas been 8owing for centuries into India. One might say streams of gold fleeting thence, for since India produces com- paratively little gold b .rself she lays the whole world under tribute. Hardly any of this gold returns. It is as if the earth of India had opened and swat. lowed it up. The American tourist in India who parts from a sovereign or a five dollar gold piece may be pretty certain it will go straightway out of circulation and nevermore be seen in the country of its minting. In one year alone India has been known to import over $300,000,000 in bar gold and una lish sovereigns. What has become of this vast ac. cumula ' tion oP1 g earning treasure? To. what use is all this gold put, since In. a bas not minted a gold coinage of bet own for many generations? The puzzle becomes a bit curious wbeu it is remembered that as a whole the ree hundred odd millions of natives efuse absolutely to deposit their sav-• gs, gold or otherwise, in banks and will take no part financially in such productive enterprises as railroads, ir- rigation works or factories. The sharpest and most astute- get - rich -quick bucket 'shop artist that ever soaked a gullible occidental public couldno more beguile the mild Hindu to buy a share of stock with the glit- tering promise of a thousand point rise in value than the government has been able to induce him to invest in solid guaranteed bonds. It has been estimated that "the visible hoarded wealth of India in temples, the treasure chests of princes and in the jewelry of the Indian men and !women amounts to $1,800,000,000"-a simple portable treasure that would look like a pretty respectable pile even ter day and make the old time feu ars set sail for India in a Part of this any American n see for himself in such toys o gold cannon of the vett - war of 13aroda, each containing 280 Pounds f pure gold, and frontglimpses caught • f temple images 4t solid or thickly taped gold and bltizing with jewels. As a special favor he may be permitted to glance within the iron bound treasure chests of some high- ness and plunge his arm to the elbow' in ancient gold mohurs.

It is into the earth that current sinks, year after year for hundreds of them, to be forgotten or lost trace of in the violent social up. heavals, plagues and famines that have swept over the country. In India man bas but to relinquish bis fight against the jungle growth for a short space to result in the tearing down, over wbeiming and utter obliteration of all his work. Therefore it is scarcely a flight of imagination to picture the black cobra nesting in some hole of ruined temple masonry stuffed with gold and jewels or the tiger seeking a lair in the dazzling throne room of a long forgotten dynasty buried in the jungle. - Tor the reason of -this curious gold problem of India apparently one has not far to seek. Until the English Went to India tbe country was swept repeatedly by invasions and conquests. Each newcomer was bent chiefly on plunder, but if he decided to remain he set up a government in which alt life and property were his sole and undisputed possession. The only rights the conquered Hindus possessed were those he chose to grant. These con- sisted principally in providing the con- queror with splendid palaces, jewels, gorgeously.caparisoned elephants, danc- ing girls, a host of swashbuckling re- tainers and costly tombs. Tbat is wily the American tourist in India gets a surfeit of palaces. temples and tombs. As to the people, they seem to bare come to the conclusion pretty far back that it was advisable for them never to display signs of overmuch' wealth. The plundering soldier or tax gatherer was always at the door, so apparent poverty was tbe best shield of defense. Besides, as hasty flight was recurrent- ly ecu rent-ly necessary before the ravaging armies of Tartar, Afghan and Mogul, gold and Jewels were the easiest forms of negotiable security to transport or bide in the earth. In this way. Delhi was sacked and sacked again until John Ireland, the New York traveler, visiting that city in the middle of the eighteenth century, thought Nadir Shah mast have swept It clean of treasures in his last $200,000,000 raid. Delhi looked to him a poverty 'stricken place. Ret a century or so afterward, when the British troops stormed it in the mutiny, the Tomas Atkins of those days was pretty soon seen bar- tering jewels for drinks and playing quoits with gold anklets and bangles. Since then Delhi has probably ac., cumulated another hoard of treasure, for the people's yearning in that respect seems to be explained by their never having got over their scare of the in- vader plundering and squeezing them ' for ages or the dread' terror, of a plague - taking ' its toll in millions. Something then unchanging in value to fly with or bury would ;appear to be their sole Idea of security, and without doubtthis is best represented in gold and jewels,—New York 'Tribune.

During tho past week Winston Chure(Lil, j.'irst Lord .of the Ad- miralty, in tho course of la speech appualerl to Sir Edward Carson, the' leader of the. Ulster Unionists to "run some risks of attaidn'mg peace with honor, which, .he said, could yet be reached. '',Why," Mr. Churchill asked, "cannot Sir Edward Carson say boldly, 'Give me the amendments to the ,Homme Raul Bill that I ask for to safe- guard the dignity and interests of Protestant Ulster, and I will use all my :influence and good well to make Ireland an integral unit in a federal system:' Such a state- ment from! Sir Edward Carson:, said, .Mf. Ch;urohill, would go far to transform the situation, . The next day Sir 'Edward replied reiterating hies detestation of. Lome Rule, and 'repeated his offer th::t if Ulster 'were excluded from ti -e. bill 'funtil this Parliamcta_ shit deltermine otherwise,' enstead Of the six years' period which Pre- mier Asquith had offered, he would submit the proposal to the people of Ulster, Ile declared that all be wanted for Ulster Was such terms as Would eonsekve the dignity of the Ul- ste/rmen arid; their cavit and tell= glens freedom.

Much curiosity was aroused, as to whelthlar or not Winston Chur- chill in making his speech; hold- ing out the olive; branch to Sir Ed- ward Carson, was voicing the mind of the cabinet, or merely making a personal plea. When the ques- tion was prelseucl -to Premien As- quith, he, replied. "I understand my friend, intended to invite an offer from Sir Edward Carson it; the spirit 'indicated, and, so far as that is the case, I< am heartily In sympathy with •.t,' During the middle of last week there were reports of gun-rure- nintj into Ulster, and :,t was sta- bed that the govern merit was go- ing to prosecute Sir Edward Car- son and Captain Tames Craig for complicity, It was later decided not to do this, ltwouver as a re- sult of a desire ,on the part of the cabinet not to mar the possi- bilities of a peaceful setticm,e:it. That Home Rule is lnoW inev',t- able is the opinion of The Globe's Dublid correspondent, as a result of the Tory admission that ;it w:11 be impossible to secure dissolution by the rejection of the army an- nual bill, This w;ii1 remake it im possible 'to force an election, and the Home Rule bill will be put thnougii. . The Belfast News Letter, the of- ficial Orange organ, • on Monday says that •the Unionists an both Houses will refuse to accept the responsibility for Lome rule. They will divide against it on every Oc- casion. This means that the meas ure will be rejected by the Lords on the second reading and be brought into 'law only thronghthe agency of the Parliament act. Hav- ing washed their hanicls of the fruits of the policy against which they have offered a lifetime strug- gle, the Unionists will then c'o all that they can to mitigate the nn;,s- chief by getting the best poss`Lle coadihior's from the Government on behalf of the loyalists of Ire- land.

On Sunday a surprise was thrown into the American camp, when is force of 500 Mexican soldiers, •eor,- sieting of cavalry and infantry, ap peered .at. the waterworks at 'le - jar, nine miles south of Vera Cruz and. demanded from Major Smed- ley Butler, the commander, 'the surrender of his force, The Mexi- cas commander. gave Major But- ler ten minutes in wh,:lclt: to cnani- ply with the demand.

Just before the incident, Gener- al Carranza had been 'requested, along with tyle United States and Huerta, to appoint representatives to confer with the South Ameri- can mediators, arid it was cont:- dently hoped that this would be the •beginmiing icf a general plan for a peace conference, On Monday however, General Carranza was practically elim'ma- ted from the proceedings.

Funstomj The report said that Mexican officers called upon the American outpost to surrender, but made no vigorous effort to en- force their demand, The Mexi- cans retired had no shots were fired; Gen.

If you owned cherry trees, how- ever, and spied a bird that settled down on them, scattering the petals in great showers to get at the heart of the blossom, thus destroying the, young fruit, what would you be din=` posed to do? If you saw him, later, satiating himself upon -your cherished; currants, what would, you say? Or upon your treasured raspberries? If subsequently you discovered this same feathered thief gluttonizing on your choicest cherries—ripe for the picking—would you sit idly by? You might if only the, culprits came in isolated ones or twos—for although the bird in question often so gorges itself that death results, the quantity: of fruit each one would eat would be negligible — but the trouble is that, as usual, this cherry bird swoops down upon the orchard in flocks, and having tested, like a chemist, by qualitative analysis, remains to com- plete his experiment on a quantitative basis. It takes a very placid and humanitarian mind to decide, as some do, that the good actions of the cherry bird in any way equalize the reduction fa fruit crops effected by its depredations during blossom time.

He Is a Cheery Little Fellow But a Foo of the Cherry Grower. One of the most striking birds of the Canadian winter is the Cherry Bird, or Waxwing, a beautiful friend - 13r restless little creature, and withal a foe of the fruit -grower. When at times they settle on a branch—sitting half a dozen side by side, as is often their habit, one can distinguish the saucy, back -dung crest to the top of their heads, also the singular appendage to their wings that so distinguish the species; little red, wax -like tips at the extremity of their secondary wing weathers. Vary- ing in number and not found on all individuals, these give to - the. Wak- wing family its name. Reddish - olive above, merging into a warm - yellow underneath, the cherry bird is a strikingly beautiful creature, its quills and tail being of a dusky -lead- en- hue tipped off with yellow, both tinting and shading are delightfully delicate, and .the plumage nothing short of infinitely soft. They pass their whole lives gather- ed together in flocks and are as'ia- teresting as any bird'I know, writes C. M. C. in Toronto Star Weekly. Their love for each other is quite a lesson in fellowship. Crowded to- gether as close as they can get on a branch of their mountain ash, they are not quiet a moment, bobbing about as if on wires, caressing one, another, and ever feeding one anoth- er out of pure friendliness. Never noisy, although so fussy, their only, note is a soft plaintive twee -twee, and that seldom heard; one wonders why the name "Chatterer" has been given to them in the old country. The warm sun of there --ious couple of p V p days had revived an odd wigged in- dent or so which flitted by, and the lightningquickness with which one of the cherry birds darted and - seizes Blames Bad Feeding. A startling proposal was made to the llritish Columbia Legisl t erre, v -ben Dr. Deehman, a German scient- ist, asked that a be -d of 20 catty he set asiee for him so that he could demonstrate his theory that bovine tuberculosis is the result or condi- tion and not a gerin as commonly supposed. According to Dr. Deehman, tuber- culosis is spontaneously germinated, by wrong feeding and he wants ten infected cattle set aside and ten healthy cattle, so he can cure L, e former and make the latter sick In proof of his theory., He proposes to effect this condition purely by meth- ods of feeding. &UFfRRS FROM PAINtUL RHEUMATISM Liniments of No Avail --Must { be Cured Through the Snood. Wby are there so many failures in the treatment of rheumatism P Why are so many sufferers resigned toa life of pain, despairing of a permanent cure ? Because rheumatism defies any treat meat that does notbuild up and purify the blood. The poisons of rheumatism are in the blood and it is only through the blood that the disease can be fought successfully. Unless the blood is weak and impure, rheumatism can, not get a foothold. When it does the thin and impure blood :is not string enough to overcome the poisons alone. It must be strengthened and purified. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale Pec - pie are the best blood -building medi- cine you can take, They make new blood with every dose and promptly check further progress of the disease They Wake the blood eo pure and strong that not the least trace of rheu- matism remains. Mr. 1, Sinclair, Glos. hen, N, S., says; "About two years a,go I was laid up with rheumatism. For two months I could not.watk and had to stay in an invalid's chant My feet were badly swollen and my arms seemed to be, paralyzed, I had been. using doctors medicine for a long time,; but it did not Beeth to help me, and the' doctor finally told me that the only thing that would , cure me would' be a change of climate, At this time I de- cided to give Dr." Williams'°Pink Pills to trial and got a supply. After I had taken them for a while I found they were helping me, and 1 got a further supply and they completely cured me, and I have not been sick one day since I strongly recommend Dr, Williams' Pink Pii'Is for this trouble, You can get these Pills from any dealer in medicine or by mail, post paid. at 50 cents a box or six boxes for $2.50 by ''writing The Dr. Williams' Medicine 'Coe Brookville,' Ont.
