Science and ltR,.ne offer a i excellent
ue of man propfinmy for .. .ruetlon.
lnsteml of hunting beautiful birds and
jeer, killing happy nntl harmless ani
mals, let man tun Ms whole mental
forces on the most cfftctlve method of
rlddlnp the land nt mosqultos and fleas
and such other Insects and reptiles as de
story comfort or endanger health. Were
Jll the hunters who Infest our woods
and stashore resorts at thl time of year,
bruising the silence with their Irritat
ing rifle shots and leaving earth and
water strewn with thjj aead creatures
thc.v liato killed only for sport, .were
all lh-sc men to study the problem of
mosquito and fly elimination, the world
vould soon became a more comfortable,
.and pleasant place for the rojoum of
ouman helngs.
There Is not the slightest nied of hav
ing one's1 enjoyment of the outdoor
Hfe marred by tho little pests which
curry disease on beak and wings.
Havana, the hotbed of mosqultos and
vellow fever, was tnade sanitary and
Kafe from their attacks In a brief time
by the concentrated thought and untir
ing effort of one man.,
Ameilcn should have an organization
In each state for the purpose of clear
ing i very locality of the insects which
are a menace to health and comfort.
And every village tind town' should
have Its organizations; until as much
shamo would cling to the locality In
fested with mosqultos or flies as now
lings to trie housekeeper who permits
Dcus to be unsanitary.
Kducatlon Is making us realize that
Insects are to be classified like plant?.
That Just hb ue remove poison Ivy from
a garden, so we must remove poison
Insects from the atnphere In order
to promte the best Inst.cts of humanity.
While we know this fact now as u
scientific truth, comparatively little Is
being done about It by peojiie who ought
to be making the world a more coniforta-
pun iiwciiiijb iiavc.
In the orient plagues and maladies of
the eyes aro alarmingly prevalent through
the Ignorant superstitions of tho people,
who believe It Is wrong to oven brush
away a fly that settles on the body of a
man or child; and who regard it a sin to
kill an Insect.
The Jains are one of the many religious
sectH which flourish In India; for just
as In tho ClirH'an lands there are count
less sects all basing their beliefs and
creeds upon tho Bible, so in the orient
may bo found as many varying orders,
all pointing to the Vedas for proof of
their claim to righteousness.
The Veda1?, like the Bible, have had
nianjv, interpretations beside which tho
lack of education In India leaves a largo
percentage of tho people victims of1 hordes
iif priests, who cater to their supersti
tions, In order to keep them under sub
lection of the priest-made laws. The
.JaiiiH, 'however, are Intelligent and many
educated nicn and a few educated women
"are to be found among them. Their one
mania is a' virtue gone rank, until It has
oecome a vice; as any virtue may become
If not guided by common sense and good
Judgment.
The jRlns, like the majority of the
orlentul religious sects, believe ft Is a
sin to take life. "Yon cannot give life;
ou must not take It," they say. But the
Jains have carried the Idea to such 'an
extreme that they carefully refrain from
destroying insect life. Files and fleas and
vrni 1 11 of all kinds aro permitted to live;
and the only way the followers of the'
faith are enabled to endure exlstenco
under sucli conditions Is by the most
scrupulous' cleillnoss. '
Their temples are ofitlmes very beauti
ful and notably clean, yet all of them
are not of this order, and It Is stated that
the keepers of some of these temples
find the fleas so numerous that they
hire street beggars to sit tnsldo In order
to give the hungry fleas something to
eca on.
A man of scientific knowledge Induced
a Jain to look through a microscope at
a drop of drinking water, and afterward
he asked the Jain how he reconciled lilm
etf to the fact that he destroyed, so
much life with every swallow of water.
The man replied that ever since h had
looked through tho microscope ho ha1
taken pains to drink water only In the
dark. But tho light of education will
eventually dlsslpato wll such darkness.
Those wonderful and Inspiring work,
the Veddas, nowhere teach anything that
can be construed Into approval of human
lor animal sacrifice; yet the Brahmins,
who claim to be true Vedantlsts, have so
perverted the original teachings that all
over India, at certain seasons, the most
horrible slaughter of fowls and goats oc
curs as part of their religious festivals.
I visited an old deserted cty at Amber,
India, which was In Its prime 1.M0 years
ago. Now the keepers of these temples,
tho guides and caretakers, and, of course,
numerous priests, the pests of India,
alone occupy Its palaces, But upon the
altar of their bloodthirsty goddess, Kail,
a goat has been sacrificed every morning
Tor 1,000 years.
It Is gratifying to read that the British
government Is taking the matter In hand,
A morning paper contains the following:
"The season jjf goat and fowl killing
has approached In the festivals of Kail
and Vyarrer. Our government agent has
hv his orders prevented the wholesale
slaughter. The act Is praiseworthy and
th" general public Is grateful."
To propitiate the gods of blood, three
animals are permitted to be killed, and
others have the tips of their ears cut to
answer the purpose of sacrifice.
The government agent has also put a
stop to the excessive use of liquor In
these festivals.
The leading Brahmins of the modern
day are enlightened men of wide educa
tion, and It seems Incredible that they
have been so long In coming Into promi
nence as opposing these terrible barbaric
rites.
The Marahaja of Cachmere (before th-i
government agent took the matter In
hand) sent out an edict that on nis large
estates of hundreds of acres no animal
should be slaughtered for sacrifice or for
food. It was his action which encour
aged the government to make an effort
toward reform of this ancient barbaric
custom-

Ignorance and superstition which blot the
face of India.
When the Christian missions undertake
to do away with these bloody sacrifices
by .religious teachings the Indians point
to the fact of our Innumerable slaughter
houses where thousands of animals are
slain In place of every one sacrificed in
India. They also ask the Christians why
It Is any worse to sacrifice animals than
it was for the Christian God to sacrifice
Ills Son.
But when tho law speaks In India
there Is no argument to be made, and to
the government not to the missions
must we look for such reforms. c'he
Society fort tho Prevention of Cruelty to
Animals should he strengthened also and
given more men and means to carry on
their work.
Mohammedans ate supposed to destroy
no life save such as is necessary for
food. Yet In Java the sultans both keep
wild tigers and Hons In cages- for their
own amusement, and two travelers were
Informed by the keepers of these cages
that for a small sum of money a live
dog would bo tossed Into the cage for
the entertainment of the traveler. They
declined the proffered "pleasure." but
learned that agents were on the watch
continually for stray dogs which wero
captured for the food of these wild leU
of the Mohammedan sultans.
It will require a thousand yearn to
Christianize the Orient. Jt is a more
reasonable effort to try to make good
Buddhists In that land than poor Chris
tians. Many Buddhists engaged In hard
manual labor eat meat, but there are no
Buddhist butchers to be found In the
Orient. The educated Buddhists are ex
tremely tolerant of other religions, be
lieving more In the spirit of devotion than
the form of worship.
Someone has called buddhism "divine
socialism."
But In the Orient today this socialism
needs to be dragged out of the hands of
useless and Innumerable priests, and put
Into tho hearts and minds of the people,
