The Famine in Russia.
Mrs. Eliza Koch, tbe wife of a
Lutheran minister who lives in Hus
stapln a letter to a friend in this
couutry concerning the Russian fam
^e-iaye: :
jgjgp "VVotde are inadequate to describe
tko existing misery-it is heartbreak?
ing. For example, in our? colony
whom are perhaps able to clothe and
4?*eJ themselves; the rest (5,OP0)
are half naked and near death from
starvation. The Government sup?
plies thirty pounds of rye flour per
month to every one who is not a male
persou : able to work. On these
scanty i ations one person can only
?absist for half a month, because out- j
"Bide of this they lia ve nothing. You
may imagine their sufferings. In
none of the families dare the people
eat enough to satisfy their hunger,
else they must starve for days and
weeks to come. Neither cabbage
nor potatoes yea, not even sufficient
salt for cooking do they. have. They
cannot afford to bake bread from the
supply of flour, because it would be
consumed itt less than two weeks, so
they keep the flour for cooking, mak?
ing-soup twice a day consisting of
water, some salt and a bit of rye
floci ; this has been their fare for
mouths already. They are all hollow- j
cheeked and deathly pale; young j
men are trembling like old men from
physical weakness. The aged are
suffering mostly. The scanty and
unwholesome nourishment causes
them to sweii, anda sort of dropsy
t>rings them to an untimely grave.
Adults arc fainting from hunger.
Children cry for bread, and their pa
rents ran -from their homes in utter
despair. Baily they come to the par-j
. s-jnage crying and begging for some?
thing to eat, yet. we are helpless, j
Our pastors have not-received any
salaries for a year and a half, and can?
not expect any for some time to
come.
"Another great want is clothing.
Most of the people are half naked,
hardly able to cover their shame ;
many children are lying totally nude
bebirtd the; stover. The people have
no means of righting their homes at
night, so they reine at about 4
o'clock and remain indoors until sun
rise; The sick are obliged to tie for
twelve hourn and more upon their
straw beds in utter darkness. Not
even a match to Ugh.'; the fires is to
be had ; they must carry the fire itt a -
pot from house to house, in order to
cook their soup in the morning and
; evening.
; -"Weean hardly bear to look upon
this sickening picture much longer.
May Ood have mercy upon us ! Re?
lief inust soon come from everywhere,
or o*f poor people will be lost.

Care in Little Things.
It would be a great point gained if
the fact were generally recognized
that disease is mainly due to trans?
gression ; that health is the normal
condition ; that sickness is of God
only as lie has so arranged things
that penalty follows disobedience,
whether moial or physical.
. A child rs allowed to go to school
sn bad weather with its feet not duly
protected, and so sit with wet and
chilled feet through the session, lt
is not to be looked on as of God that
-such a child either sickens and dies,
or grows np to be a life-long invalid
A growing girl, when the weather
threatens rain, is permitted to hasten
off to school without waterproof or
nmbreUa. at the risk of having to sit
i&raogb the session with a wet dress
abort ber ankles. Every mother
should not only see to it that her
?t?d ts properly protected against1
-exposure, AHA should carefully train
lier to look, ont for herself in this i e
*pect.
The special need of sleep by grow-, j
mg children is not sufficiently appro- '
?gated. Such special need is in
v<??re4 "in the very fact of growth ;
bot ?he growing period is also the
period of school life, wfth its worry
?nd fret, its mental pressure and mul?
titudinous excitements.
Under such conditions more hours
of sleep are necessary because much
of the steep is not profound. The
brain is like the ocean, tossing after
the stornr.is over.
Therein'" nothing like sleep to re- j
store a tired brain, and nothing like
the lack of it to espose it to harm.
A child should be allowed to waken j
of.itself; it is sure todo so when it
has had sleep enough. To this end1
it should always retire early.
Another thing important to be
rooked after, especially in the case of
growing schoolgirls, is the matter of
food. For boys and the younger
girls open-air spoils may generally
be trnst?d:: to insure self regulating
appetites; b?t girls after the ages
say of twelve or th?teen, from less
active out door life, insufficient sleep,
and from the pressure of their studies,
are apt to have little or no appetite
in the morning.
The growth aud the special devel?
opment of the young girl inrolve a
special demand for food. Moreover,
the brain is not only growing, but is
being especially worked, and must
be correspondingly nourished if it is
to retain its vigor. The girl must
not be allowed to go off to the ex
hans! ing work of the day with a
stomach half or wholly empty.
Harm is sure to come of it, particu?
larly to thc brain.
The resulting fretfulness is a sure
sign that the brain is being affected
Especially must she not be allowed
to depend upon the stimulus of coff e.
The consequences will ii evitably be
disastrous, The motlier should insist
on lier ealing, and, if possible, should
provide food that will provoke the
appetite-say a piece of broiled
steak.- Youth's Companion.

The Chinese Insurrection.
WASHINGTON, February 17.-Re?
ports regarding the receot insurrection
iu Chioa have been so contradictory
that minister Denby has reported to
the Department of State the facts there?
of prepared with care.
The locality of the rebellion is in the
northern part of the province of Chinli,
(sometimes given as Cheelee and Pe
cheelee,) in which province is situated
the city of Peking, the Capital of the
Empire. Minister Denby says that
various causes have been assigned for
this uprising, many incorrectly and
many of exaggerated proportions.
Foreign residents of Peking have never
been caused the uneasiness which some
cablegrams sent abroad have indicated.
Antagonism to Christianity was not
the cause of the rebellion, but more
probably the depredations of organized
bands of robbers, such as are usual
every year north of the great wall to
some degree. This year these bands
had of their number many Taoist
priests, who are supposed to be able to
protect their associates from ?he bullets
of the enemy. Missionaries at Tt-un
Hua were in great danger, ?nd upon
the order of the local authorities they
were compelled to aband ou their mis?
sions and take refuge in Tientsin.
There have, been doubtless about
twelve hundred Catholics kililed, owing
to the fact that they resided north of
the great wall, where converts to the
Catholic religion comprise most of the
population. When the uprising got
under way it took the form of a revolt
against the reigning dynasty and was
under the leadership of Mich Cheug
Wang, (Prince Overthrow-of-tbe
Chings.) as be styled himself, Ching
being the dynastic title of the pre se ut
Emperor.
The lo>s of these insurgents in killed
and captured has been ab>ut 3,000,
while the loss to the troops of the Chi?
nese Government bas been less than
100, and the vigorous action of the Im?
perial troops readers further disturb?
ance unlikely.
The losses to the people of the north?
eastern part of the province have been
severe, as usual from both insurgents
and troop?. It has been a saying
among these people for many years ;
"Fear not the tiger which comes from
the south, but fear the chicken which
comes from the north,*'and as the power
of the proverb is very strong among
the Chinese the rebel troops carried
banners on which were displayed a
painted or embroidered cock, thus hop?
ing to enlist many by thc idea that the
oorthern force could -and would over?
throw the present Emperor.
The fulfilment of this prophecy is
said to be illustrated io the fate of S h i h
Kwang-Ti, who built the great wall,
(and who was oo e of China's greatest
Emperors,) via: That ltis Eapire
would be endangered by Hu. He de- ?
voted his efforts, therefore, to the con?
quering of the northern tribes, (who
were known as flu.) yet the prophecy
was realized ia bis assassination by his
sou and successor.
The present insurrection is regarded
now as suppressed, and the officers and
? Idlers have been commended official y
tor overthrowing the rebeiliou.
As to "Views".
Newberry Observer.
There is a fool uegro in North Caro?
lina who proposes to ruo for Con gros
on the platform that the general gov?
ernment should pay for the slaves it set
free. And there are fool white men
who will vote for him because of his
alleged "views'.
If some demagogue should run in
this State ona platform-promising to]
give every man, woman and child all
the money they want, he would be pop?
ular because of his "views '.
It will be found in mee eases out of
I ten that a politician's ' views" are *>im
j ply baits to catch unwary voters His
j promises are formed with the express
purpose to get votes.
The only "views" and the only prom?
ises that are worth a fig io a candidate
are character and capacity. If he is
lackisg tn these, or cither of them, all
his "views*4 and all his promises should
go for naught.
A candidate can promise scything ;
but the one that promisee most is gen?
erally able to perform the least.
To vote for legislators, for instance,
because of their "views" is like label?
ing a block of wood and "seading it to
Columbia.
The only s^fe and sensible way to
vote is to vote for men of character and
capacity, who, because of these ??nah
ties, are abie to exercise some iufiuence
and will exercise it for the good of the
State and the people.
Woman's Love.
Robt G. Ingersoll pay? tie following
tribute to woman's love.
The one thing io this world that is
constant, the one peak that rises above
all clouds, the one window in which
light forever burns, the one star that
darkness cannot <]?iv>ocli is woman's
love. It arises to the ?reaten heights,
it sinks to the low?"t. depths, it forgives
the most cruel injuries It is penn ?ai
of life, and grows io every clime, nei?
ther coldness nor neglect, harshness nor:
cruelty can extinguish it A woman's '
love is the perfume of the heart. This
is the real lo7e that subdues the earth ;
the love that has wrought all miracles
in art; that gives us mu.?ie all the way
from the cradle song to the grand sym?
phony that bears the soul away on wings
of fire. A love that is greater than
power, sweeter than life, aud itronger
than death.

The Skeleton Escaped.
In a certain Chicago public school
there was a particular bad youngster
who may be known as Smith. A
peculiarity attaching to Smith was
that he seemed to have no home, and
though the other boys frequently
trailed him in the most approved
detective fashion, they could never
succeed iu locating the Smithsonian
domicile.
The same cloud of myst ry which en?
veloped Smith's home enshrouded hi
family, lie neverspok' *i them, and,
as far as appearance sveiit, was a
lone orphan without kita or kin ; so
the belief soon became general that
there was a terrible secret hidden
away somewhere in Smith's young
life.
One day during the morning session
the mysterious youth, in a spirit of
unwonted sportiveness, caused his
deskmate acute personal discomfort
through the medium of a pin bent in
the traditional manner. Ile was
taken red handed and haled before the
principal.
? "Smith," remarked that august
personage, "you will have to take a
letter from me to your father at once,
informing him of your bad behavior.
Where can he be found?'7
He of the bent pin answered with
a wail of despair.
"One second to tell me, or-" and
the principal poised his nice new
rattan.
"I can't tell you out loud," howled
Smith, "an' I won't ; I don't care if
you do lick me."
"Then you may whisper it."
The principal inclined his ear, and
Smith gasped therein this single
line :
"Pa*s a bearded lady in a dime
museum.
The skeleton had escaped from the
closet.
Systematic Exercise.
Only systematic exercise prepares us
for those emergencies upon which the
prolongation of life often depends. A
citizen who despised exercise was awak?
ened at midnight by a cry of fire ; has?
tily raising a window and looking out
he saw the building next bis own was
in flam s. He hurried about the house
gathering his valuables, carried them
into the street and fell dead. A cler?
gyman, finding himself left by a train
and liable to miss au important appoint?
ment, carried a carpet bag the short
distance of three miles, reached his des?
tination breathless, and io a few mo?
ments died.
No one can foresee when an unusual
exertiou will be demanded of him, either
io self-preservation or io aid of those
whom be loves; or in some deed of com?
mon humanity, or jointly with his
neighbors and townsmen io preserving
their homes from destruction by fire,.
Had exercise no other value than that
of keeping men in condition to endure
unusual strain, it would be an ample
compensation for the time and exertion
it requires.
But it is a pleasure, it is the best
improvement of leisure, it is a promo?
ter of good morale, and closely connect?
ed with health ai d longevity. William
Cullen Bryaut cutinued his exercises
till he was past eighty ; Mr. Gladstone
never omits: his bath and exercise;
John Ericsson, though working twelve
or fifteen hours a day, always walked
the streets of New York from"10 o'cloek

In 1876 a law was passed providing
that railroads that received the benefit
of land grants fioai the Government
thould receive only eighty per cent of
the contract rate for cairying maiis, but
for niue years the law was eoustrued t>o
as to allow the roads full rates except on
those portions that received the land
grant aid. It was then decided by
Postmaster-General Vi!as that the re?
duced rate should apply to the whole
length of roads th?s subsidized. The
Alabama Southern appealed from this
decision to the Court of Claims, and
was sustained, and the Supreme Court
has now affirmed that decision.the Post?
