Oue-foin-.li of (he Anglo-Indian popu- I latioti lb India is supported by charity. For the Ar. lo-Indian thinks that work is beneath him. ami really at heart he is a born snob, it isn't drunkenness Ulil h makes him an object of charity, for there is comparatively little drunk enness among tlie poor in India. Nor is it the seasonal trades, as it sometimes is with us. for work there is continuous the year round. Neither Is it the mo; uotony of a dreary home or dally toil that drives him to drink mid then to poverty. For there is no part of Cal cutta where there are people of one so cial grade, but the homes of the poor aré interspersed with the licit. He is a pauper purely and simply be- | cause" be is an aristocrat. He has Eng lish blood ia his veins and be wants to live like the English, and the English in India are the successful and the rich. They have their well appointed homes, their servants and every luxury. The Englishman who works with Ills hands, the men in the factories, the day labor ers. the frontiersmen, the farmers are not found in India. The beggar snob does not know of their existence. He knows only the coolies and the Hindus, who work with their bands, and be will not be one of them. He wishes to pattern his life after the English man whom he knows. He wants to have u servant and be waited on. and if he cannot he will not work. To dig with a shovel is a disgrace in his eyes and begging is infinitely more respec- ' table. i So the Anglo-Indian pauper is sup ported on a scale better than that of i tlie faithful workmen among the Hin dus and coolies, and the burden of the charity falls on the rich English. The ¡ wealthy Hindus will take none of the i responsibilities. They say that tlie Englishman created this class and that on him falls the weight of support. There is another cause of tills pover ty also, apart from this strong false sentiment. That is the insanitary con ditions of life which cause the death of the father of the household nt an early age. This reduces the family to pauperism at once, as the lines of work open to tlie Anglo-Indian woman which slie wiil accept are practically none.—Chicago Tribune. EXCURSION TO LOS ANGELES The earth whirls «round an invisible axle, one end of which trrus the deep cup of the Arctic ocean, while the otb er spins the huge white buttou of the antarctic continent. In the north the ice tloats on the sea like a moving door. In the south it rests like a I hiss . v shield on a vast dome of uplifted rock. Close around the edges of the lee world, both north and south and even within it. animals and plants are found living. Hut In tlveir species these in habitants of the opposite poles are as different as the poles themselves. On and around the antarctic conti nent there are several species of birds, notably albatrosses, petrels and the strange, upright walking penguins, with their black coats, white waist coats and ludicrously polite bearing There are also whales and seals, but the human form Is absent, except so far as It Is mimicked to the eye of fancy by the stately penguins. The plants are scanty in number, although some bear Howers. Within the arctic circle the scene is more animated. There tire many arc tic plants, some bearing brilliant flow ers. Yellow buttercups and tiretie pop pies warm the heart of the explorer. The saxifrage puts out its starry blossoms w ithin 7'A degrees of the pole. There are so many other species that a very attractive bouquet of arctic flowers may be formed. The animal life of the arctic is also relatively abun dant. In the sea is the world circling whale, the walrus with his curious tusks and the various species of seals On the land and snow’ and sometimes on the icepacks are large and remarka ble animals often in abundance. The great polar bear alone would suffice to make the lands that lie tenants famous INGENIOUS SUNDIALS. Then there are reindeer, musk oxen, foxes, wolves, hares and lemmings.
