A GLIMPSE OF EAST SUMATRA
Nowhere do we find a better illustration of the saying that, whilst occins unité, ses divide allan in the comparative iselition of the N. E. coast of Sumatra. Only eighteen hours away from Penang by sea, it is seldom visited save by people whose business calls them thither. Yet there is much that is of interest to the new-
comer, who,`ere he leaves the steamer at Belawan, cannot fail to observe that officialism is the dominant note of the Dutch administra- tion, Everyone has a uniform from the "oppas" or mata-mata, with his red cufts and facings, to the men in the employ of the opium fair. After passing the customs, a pure for mality for Europeans, the efficit at but expensive little milway carries one across the fine girder bridge spanning the Whampoo river, through dense mangrove swamps for some five or six miles, till one reaches what may be considered terra firma, and the wonderful fertility of the soil is at once apparent and the patches of vegetables, sugar cane, yams, pumpkins, and

occasionally come down and bail up a road and prevent its use for days together, since the sight of a herd of elephants advancing in quar- ter column is not, calculated to make the boldest man wish to force a passage.AN
In conclusion, as one leaves the muddy river and, rolling across the heavy southerly swell, heade for Pulo Penang, one feels that a short visit certainly makes one wish for more. The bracing air, the kind hospitality and freedom from convention that characterises those one meets, convinces one that in spite of the bard work which at first is no trifle, the planter's life is quite as pleasant, taking all in all, as one would suppose it to be appearance.

market gardens. Médan, the principal town, is a beautifully laid out spot and, in many reep cts, can give points to the British adininistration. Everywhere the national love of neatness, decency, and order is carried out as far as is possible in dealing with an Asiatic population. But one is apt to forget that all the small townships here are essentially different from those in the Straits Settlements in this way, that they are not entrepôts but exist solely for the planters and, therefore, partake more of the nature of an English country lown without any important manufac tore or industry close at hand. The plain or "maidan" is a beautiful piece of green sward kept in fine order and surrounded by a broad walk well shaded by trees. Goal posts are there for football, but the game does not seem to be very popular, tennis being in more favour with the residents. The Club is close at hand but, as a new building is in course of construction, it is not possible to say much of it, save that promises to be, like all the Dutch clubs, a very comfortable meeting-place.
Electricity is almost universal; for fighting, and the telephone connects everyone and everybody, even on the distant estates lying almost at the foot of the hills some thirty miles Away being able to speak to the banks and shops of the town with little difficulty, though it must be confessed that both light and telephonic communication are extortionately dear, the latter costing guilders 25 per month and the government holders of the monopoly will not look after the upkeep of the line beyond a radius of 1,000 yards from the central office.
But Médan it-elf offers little interest to the newcomer aller a day or so. It has been said already that the town relies solely upon the plasting interest, an-1 that interest, as everyone knows or ought to know, lies in tobacco and, were the tobacco plant to become affected in a similar way to the Ceylon coffee trees, causing a complete cessation of the supply, It is safe to say that within a few decades, the north-east coast of Sumatra would be deserted, its porte and townships lost in the ever encroaching jungle. Tobacco planting in Sumatra owes its success entirely to the rich black volcanic soil, which alone is able to supply the plant with that amount of nourishment necessary to a good leafage, and a short description of the mode of planting may not be out of place, As one journeys in the train to Timbang Langkat, three-quarters of the road are bounded on either side by the growing plants, the wide fields with their regular planting and banked rows, remind- ing an Irishman of the national vegetable, or the celery banks outside London, for the tobacco plant.being a surface feeder, as the lower leaves.ore picked off, the earth is banked higher and higher round the ster whence fresh roots issue.
Each field is soo depas long by thirty to forty in width and extends right and left from a road, called a planting road, close to the edge of which is built a bangsal or receiving and drying shed a long and lofty structure of attaps put together with a finish and neatness seldom seen in the Straits. Here the leaf is sorted roughly and threaded in bunches, afterwards being hung in tiers from the roof downwards.
Tobacco being an annual and, moreover, as has been mentioned before, a most exhaustive feeder-after the crop has been gathered the fields must be left fallow for at least seven to eight years, so that the land originally taken up must be of great extent, practically only seven-eighths-of-it-being under-cultivation-al- one time. Fortunately, the Sumatran planters are not harrassed to the same extent as their brethren in the F.M.S. by the labour problem, the Planters' Committee, who in such matters are, de facto, the Government, bringing in their own labour direct from China, and, though the cost all told in a little more per head than the F. M. S. planter pays, yet the difference is more than ontweighed by the fact that few coolies, if any, attempititoʻrun away, no lung civil court procedure being necessary to bring them back to their masters, a fact well under- stood by all the coolios ere they have been long on the estate.
With so much jungle always on the estate, it is only natural that the beasts of the forest, as the Scripture puts it, should seek their prey, and the, tiger: certainly makes his presence felt on mot of the estates from time to time. But one doubts whether the wonderful stories told on the stoep of the Medan Hotel after dinner ought not to be taken, fum grann sults Personally speaking, a very good effect is produced by taking in, as much as can be given, and then relating the story of the tiger shot in Raffles Hotel, omitting all mention of the billiard table, and, if still alive, by follow ing it up with the capture of the python in the same establishment. Then leave at once,
Still, there's any amount of shooting in the Jungle, but unless the game comes out a clean shot is impossible. The elephants have re treated before the advance of the planten,
and now only frequent the virgin jungle at the foot of the bills from whence, however, they
