MALAY SUPERSTITIONS.

Every division of the human race has superstitions, but the writer is of opinion that Malay superstitions are among the most peculiar. For instance, when there is an eclipse of the moon 1, the Malays abstain from taking food and perform their ablutions, in order that no contagious disease may at tack them. Crows are an ill omen, and when. ever a crow caw-caws near à Malay habitation it means death to some one of the inmates. Supposing a Malay walks along a road and suddenly a black cat crosses before him, he will at once turn back and walk along another path. The crossing of the black cat signifies danger involving the loss of life!

Only four years ago the world—or that section interested in Deli, which is a portion of Sumatra --was thrilled with the tales recounted a a brochure entitled, "The Deli Millions."

Mr. Ellybacher, aftere,deavouring to analyse several of these financial statements, arrives at the conclusion that they are utterly untrustworthy. ite Guds support for that view in the wretched condition of the peasants, the small yields from the soil, and the crushing taxation. He quotes Prince Uchtomsky, the editor of the Piedamesti, as publishing the statement that "Russia ising on estates in the eastern section of Sumatra was described with such a wealth of detail, the chronically starving; pauperism increases in extent and degree, and there are neither yays miseries they endured, the scoundrelly punish ments inflicted on them by planters whose not meats apparent either to stop or to mitigate this evil.

Statistics are quoted to show that the Russian agricultural peasantry suffer from chronic underfeeding, with a cor- respondingly bigli death rate, yet food pro- ducts are exported to the value of £40,000,000 a year.

had not been aroused for many a day.
*Those who were not subject to the planting interests, or suborned by the officials, gave ear to this indictment of slavery in its worst form. The brazen-faced, high-handed planters, devoid of cons ience, creed, or anything else, a law to themselves, and, it must be remembered, a power in the land, endeavoured with all their might to stifle Mr. Van der Brand. They.com tended that his statements were pure travesties of fact, that he was prejudiced, that he was half a native himself, that the country was run for the governing class, and not for the benefit of the rag-tag and bobtail. But they failed to refute his statements.
A TALE TO SHUDDER AT. Mr. Van der Brand, in his book, and also in speeches, charged the plà ters in Deli with forcing coalies to stand the whole day in the sun, rubbing finely pounded chilis into open wounds and certain parts of the body; ducking and holding persons under water; electrifying them with a strong current; placing them in

It is well known that cooies are often tortured to the point of death by their in-human masters. The coolie is looked upon as a beast; he does not even obtain the treatment which was meted out to the negru slaves in the West Indies, for he has not the value of a buffalo in his skin. It is admired that the planters take the law into their own hands when it comes to punishing their indentured
labourers, and what that means when the judges are mostly ignorant, brutal slave-drivers can casily be understood.
