GREATEST OF ALE DISASTERS. Flood of the Ho&ng-Ho In China Ir 1887 Heads List. Exchange. "Talking of floods, what wa* th? greatest disaster nature ever hit the world with? I don't mean the deluge or anything so far off as that and I don't mean wars, elthc r They're our own work. But what was the biggest loss of life that eveit happened because of a flood o^ a Are or an earthquake, or anything of this ort, as far back as the ordinary records go?" ? t "I suppose you don't include T* plagues, such as the 'black death' that ravaged Europe for a century or so, almost continuously, bacl-v in the Middle Ages?" "No; that lasted too long. I mean one of the sudden smashes that have hit the world and knocked out cities or sunk ships; anything of that VInH "Well," said the man appealed to as a handy reference book, "If you limit It that way, I thiqk the flood of the Hoang-ho, or Yellow river. In China, In 1887, takes first place. It began late in September and before the water went down about 50,000 square miles of one of the most fertile and populous plains in the world had been swept by the swift current. That means twenty-flve per cent more land than there Is In Ohio. "More than a thousand villages and towns were simply washed off the map, and the loss of life has never been calculated at less than a million. Some authorities say that fully 1,000,000 persons perished. It was like wiping out as many people as there are in Cleveland and Cincinnati together." "I should say that might be the record disaster of all the agesf" e*Claimed the friend whn atartad talk about losses through the violence of nature. "It must be away ahead of anything an earthquake ever did, or a storm at sea." "Yes, probably by four to one, at least. But some of the worst earthquakes and volcanic eruptions have done a lot of killing where there was no way to get authentic figures. It Is possible that more than a quarter of a million people have lost their lives In some earthquake or eruption, or both together, but the odds are aralnst it." "What a paralysing thing sueh a flood as the one in China would be If It happened In this country or Europe!" "Indeed It would," was the reply, ^ "hot half the people In China probably never even heard the news." Subscribe for The News.

A wise man, who, no doubt, had passed through sore trials with disagreeable people, said "confess your faults one to another."

One of the healthiest married men in the city has acquired the exquisite and invaluable habit of health. 1 He Is real lazy, which quality la ( inimical to health. > He owns and superintends a farm a few miles in the country, and tells t me that he works on that farm. I have not seen that performance. I There is no doubt about the fact that he rises at 5 a. m , starts a Are In the stove, puts on the hominy, makes the coffee, prepares the breakfast meats so that when the hired cook comes, the morning meal is on ! the table in twenty minutes. By the np this is done, the vegetables which he has collected in the twt. light of the day before are all ready to be used for the midday meal. He is well proportioned, normal weight, hair a little thin on his sky piece, but he is not put to the necessity of shooting the festive fly whose honied feet cannot touch the sensitive part of his tranquil dome. This health habit has the unquali- | fled endorsement of a distinguished scientist, and is guaranteed to prevent or cure obesity, or its opposite by whatever name it is known or called; also catarrh, indigestion and bookworm. If this health habit should be gen- j rally adopted by married men and .hose who wish to be married, it vould not only solve the health prob- ; em, but it would also strike a decisve blow towards the solution of the nuch greater and more troublous 'Servant problem."
