We have traveled more than 2,600 miles in India, have seen its grandest scenery, its largest and most interesting cities, its most fertile and some of its desert legions. We have found in Delhi, Agra, Benares, Aiubur and Ahmadabad the best examples of Hindoo and Mohammedan architecture. Of course there is much we have not seen.

There are grave problems in India and more to come, and to solve them will require all the talent which can be J secured.

The council has seven Democratic and seven Republican aldermen with a Republican mayor, with one Democratic alderman in question, as the Republican candidate is contesting the election of Alderman Allen in the Fifth ward.

N ri | It is a curious fact that the Indian who See ' speaks English speaks it without accent Hall, in I and rather better than the average of
| English or Americans. Nearly all of the schools above the primary grade teach English, and in the majority of them it is the medium of education. More than half of the native newspapers and jtcriodicals, which tire numerous and well conducted, are printed in English. I do not think it a wild prediction that English will be essentially the language of India a hundred years hence. It is curious to contemplate what will be the political result of the education of the Indian people. Will they lie content, especially those of the Aryan race, capable of high development, with the shadow of a government which is sometimes driven to its xvits’ ends with its own domestic problems, in a group of little islands 5,000 miles away? For the present. I can scjircely conceive of a
Serving T«»a.st. Dry toast should be served directly from the toaster. When this is not practical, pile it on a heated bread plate, cover it with a napkin and put it on the hearth or in the oven. Toast is given in all slight attacks of sickness because it is so easily digested. The more thorough the conversion of the starch the more easily and perfectly the system will manage it, for the change of starch into dextrine by the action of heat is simply doing outside of the body what takes place in it, in the ordinary course of digestion, by the action of the digestive fluids. Therefore when this is accomplished by artificial means nature is spared so much energy.—Philadelphia Times.

The alkali soils socommoniu portinnf of the west when the rainfall is lo\v are familiar to most farmers. Professor Ladd of the North Dakota station in a letter to Rural New Yorker says concerning these soils: The chief ingredients are sodium carbonate (sal soda), sodium sulphate (glaubers salts), magnesium sulphate (epsom salts) and sodium chloride (common salt). Of these the first, or black alkali, is most dreaded, for it produces the “gumbo” soil and destroys plant life when present in considerable (juaiititie& The application of land plaster will ohonge the injurious sodium carbonate to sodium sulphate, the neutral and less harmful salt, so that plants that formerly would not grow on the land thrive and produce well. In some cases, however, drainage must be had, and the injurious salts washed oat of the land. From the foregoing it will be seen tha» the alkali is not due to the presence ct ‘‘valuable commercial fertilizers. ”
