MANILA, Feb. 20.—A military mission will meet at Calamba to-morrow to try a Filipino member of the guerrilla band which attacked a squad of Ameri- cans on Febru 2, killing a corpotal. The charges are murder and assault with | intent to kill. The case is important as | foreshadowing the policy of treating | guerrillas as bandits. It is supposed that | one reason which has hitherto deterred | the American authorities from adopting this policy is that the insurgents have more—than fifty American prisoners and may retaliate, although only a few of them were captured while fighting. WASHINGTON, Feb. 2.—Judge Taft president of the Philippine Commission had a long conference with Secretary Root at the War Department to-day in regard to the proposed work of the com- missfon. It is expected the commission will be completely organized In the near future and that it will start for Manila about April 1. Only two members of the | commission Jiave been appointed so far, | viz: Judge Taft and Professor Worcester of the orlginal commission.

D. é (University of Nebraska.) “ India, rich and sunny India, has feor| ® | ages been the battle ground of races and 4 | the home of deep religious meditation and | @ | lterary activity ¢ | Tt was once occupied enttrely by that | & | dark-hued race which yet makes up the | bulk of its population, especially in the south, where this race has even preserved | its language. But about 4000 or 300 years | ago—scme claim much earller—a light- | complexioned race penetrated into the | | peninsula from the north, gradually sub- duing and forcing its language upon the ancient inhabitarts. That language is yct | preserved in the early hymns sung by the | invaders when occupying the river & of the Indus and in many later monumer of a growing literature. Its early name, possibly, was Arfa, although this s not certain. But when one of its dialects, coming to be the recognized idlom of the | higher classes and the vehicle of literary | composition, was brought under definl rules that idlom was called Sanskrit (sam- ekritd, perfect, holy) as distinguished | from the other so-called Prakrit dialects (prakrita, common). It continued to be the living language for many centuries, until finally it was superseded by popular dialects. But It has never yielded its sway as the language of learned intercourse i India, being yet used as such | Sanskrit is of especial interest to us for | three reasons. In the first place it belongs to that large family of languages, ordina=- ily called the Aryan or Indo-European which is spoken from Indla through most_entire Persia, Armenia, Europe and America, being thus akin to our own. In the second place, representing by far the earliest phase of any Aryan dialect, it re- veals on the whole more faithfdily than | any of them that early growth of the Ar- yan language by composition and internal change which has later been gradually | obscured and obliterated, not, indeed, by a process of decay, as some prefer to call it, but by a process of fusion ever tend- ing to centered strength and simplleity Aside from its linguistic interest, t transparency of Sanskrit, by revealing to | a large extent the metaphors hidden with- in the composite forms of the languaxe, | also lends a peculiar picturesqueness to it oetic expressions. In the third pla anskrit contains an ahundant litera | of varfed historical, philosophical | esthetical interest. | _The Rig-Veda (“Hymn-Veda,™ ‘“Sac-e Book of Hymns”) is the oldest litL monument of Sanskrit and of the Ar speaking nations. It is a collection < about a thousand hymns and lytics posed during centuries and handed by faithful tradition from the time Aryans stood on the threshold to the time th hymn material we now possess. bymns, invoking the gods, extolling herol deeds and contemplating the mysterics of existence, though rarely of a higher order, are in part full of life and charming Ly their naive and objective simplicity, but also in part utterly trivial and uninterest ing.

Thus the whoe teaching of the Bhaga- vad-Gita. is to fix soul upon the Lord, to the exclusion of all things tending to draw from him. Not that we should negleet our duties in life, bu at these should be sanctified by recognizing all blessings as faint rays of him “who is the life of life, the splendor of the sun and moon.’ Out of Brahmanism grew Buddhism us a reformed faith. Its tenets were ex- pressed in Pa er dialect of San- skrit.

But Hindu literature, though largely re- liglous and philosophical, is alse I no small degree secular, even if then usually ermeated by religious conceptions. The Tindu possesses at least two great epics, of which one, the Mahabharata (“the reat Bharata War”) is the most famous. his huge epic describes the contest hetween two roy families, both descendants of Eharat But being the production not of one but_of sucessive ages, the chief narrat probably rooted in a simpler one of h torical foundation, is interwoven with nu- unalien episodes, breaking the chain of events and filling by far the larger part of the epic Lyrie poetry also found rich expression in Sanskrit £ of about W.000 verse-liines A ‘Among larger lyric poems of recognized worth, the most celebrated is MegbaDuta (“The Cloud Messenger.” transiated by H. W. Wilsol London, 1§14). This poem, composed by the great dramatist Ralidasa, who is supposed to have lived In the early part of the sixth v, A. D, is really overcharged with striking poetic imagery. Strange as it may seem, Indla is yet more famed for its dramatic than for its lyric and epic poetry Among the dra- matic poets Kalho. ., the author c Cloud Messenger,” st ‘Shakuntala,” the gem o composition, and one of the great worl poems, is his masterplece When first made known to more than a century ago it was hailed with expressions of unreserved admira- tion by the foremost literary men.

They may suf- that this literature, among mu that is valueless from esthetic point of view, also tai works of no small merit. It may be true that even the best Hindu poetry con ents that are at times offensive to U esthetical taste; gorgeous colorings to the neglect of finer shades, grotesque leaps of imagination and supe ral in- | vention. But. after ail, no literary work of a remote time or a forelgn civilization can be appreciated without that degree of general literary culture and broadness of spirit which will enable us to discover real beauty even through the veil of un familiar ideas and associations. It may be true also that our superior culture pro- vides for poetic forms that were beyond the Hindu. As our knowledge ripens into better understanding of the secrets of rature, of soclety and of religlon, not only store of words but all kinds of ex- pression are wonderfully enriched. How could the ancient Hindu, with his_lmi- tations, have framed a figure like Long- feliow's “The clock kept time with the revolving spheres,” or Coleridge’s “There are errors which no wise man will treat with rudeness while there is a possibility that they may be the refraction of some great truth below the horizon But where poetic expressions are suggested by a more immediate observation, by first impressions from external forms and or- dinary human conditions, the Indian muse is, in her better moods, nowise unworthy of her Western sister, besides having a peculiar charm her own. Perhaps In all the wide world’s literature there is not a womanly character more charming for pure, delicate tenderness and devotion than are Pamayanti and Shakuntala. — COURSES OF INSTRUCTION.

The output of the Anheuser-Busch Brewing Assoctation of St. Louis, Mo., for 1999 was the largest In the history of that great establish- ment. The fiscal reports of the Internal Rev- enue Department show a decrease of 912,00 barrels in the consumption of beer againat the preceding fiscal year, which may, In a meas- ure, be attributed to the war tax of $1.00 per barrel imposed on July 1 1898. The output of the Anheuser-Busch Brewing Assoclation be- ing the largest in the world, should naturally have shown the greatest loss; yet their sales the fiscal year just ended exceed those of previous year in the history of the asso- clation. Their sales of bottled beer alone have in- creused 30 4-10 per cent, which is conclusive evidence that a good article finds a good mar- ket among an appreciative public, and that “quality merits reward.” o=~ Identified the Books.
