Paul Conner, of Denver, Colo., for

INDIAN INDIA.
Tbs Part Ruled by Natives In Their
Own Right and Namee.
The notion prevails in the United
States that all India belongs to the
British and Is administered by them.
This Is an utterly erroneous idea. A
very large and populous portion of the
peninsula Is in the iiossesslon of its owu
people, and Is ruled by them, with
little or no interference from the Brit
ish. I have coUed the term “Indian
India” to differentiate between the In
dia belonging to Indians and that in
the possession of the British.
Indian India, with Its area of 850,000
square miles, is almost one-third as
large as continental United States. Its
population, 78,000,000 persons, is a lit
tle less than four-fifths that of this
country. Politically British India is
united. It is divided Into three presi
dencies and twelve provinces, which
are under the supreme government of
India presided over by the viceroy and
governor general, who la under the sec
retary of state for India—a member of
, the British cabinet. Indian India, on
the contrary, Is not one political entity.
During recent years I have had the
privilege of coming in close contact
with several Indians who rule lu their
own right and us ms, and I have watch
ed their public and private lives. With
out a single exception 1 have found the
Indian rulers to be men of great ad
ministrative capacity and statesman
ship, all devoted to the welfare of their
subjects an(f interested in all sorts of
reform movements. Not many public
servants or busluess men in America or
elsewhere work so hard or so unselfish
ly as do these Indian |<otentates.—St.
Nihal Singh in Southern Workman.
ENTIRELY TOO FAMILIAR.

It was considered surprising that the
i wife of the m«u who was putting up
| the new pala c should have asked for
, a new foreman. But she did. and It
! was no more than the duty of file
! architects to obey. So a new superin
i icndcnt reported the next morning.
' One of tlie architects had the coin
age to ask tlie august lady what had
I happened, since the former superin
; teiidi-nt of the Job, which was easilj*
i '.lie most important the firm had, was
I known t" la? polite and courteous al
ways. It seemed, according to tin
' lady, that lie had been "familiar."
"Familiar!" repeated his employer in
frankly expressed astonishment,
j There was no further explanation ■
i offered, so it was to the offending su -
| perintendent that his employer turned .
"All I can think of," the superin
iciidcnt said, “is tlie fact that 1 asked j
how the children were. Word cam."

not see me because tlie children weie j
ill When she did appear the next
day nil I said was I hoped tlie cliildieti j
were better. I guess from the way 1

And later investigation showed that i

that inquiry after tile children.—Xcw J

in Paris tii.it In- had proved that mi

gested that wounds should lie irrigated
with several different antiseptics, using
one one day. another the next and nev
er bathing- tin- wound with the same

The editor of l.a Nature suggests
that this idea may he applicable also

why each new remedy produces fur I
several days a marked improvement. j

Odd Veranda Decoration.
A well known hotel in Marblehead. ,
; Mass., lias a large brass dial set in the
floor of one of ils verandas, on which
are Indicated tiie points of the com
pass and also the directions in whieli
several Important cities lie and their
distauce away. It shows, for example,
j that Montreal lies to the northeast ap
1 proximately 340 miles away, that Lon
j don is almost due east 3,785 miles dis
i taut and that 043 miles to the soutli
east is Bermuda. This unusual decora
tiou in the floor of the veranda, says
! Popular Mechanics, is a source of much
! interest to the guests of the hotel, who j
come from many quarters of the globe
