A HINT TO WORKING WoMEN-Where
is the sense Of a woman s starving because she
has no food in her hands, when woman is
starving by her side who has hollands for her
food !? feel indignant when [ hear these null
tiplied stories of wholesale restitution. I am
disposed to say to these women: If you choose
to stay at home and perish rather than go to
your neighbours kitchen and supply your wants,
do SO but DO not appeal to those fer pity from
whom you refuse employment Iknow there
are many who are tied to their own Eretched
homes hut if these who are unencunbered
would resort to the Kitchens of the rich,
it would relieve the stress Of competition
those who remain would com lnand a beftar
price for their labor aud salvation would be
permanently stopped. I do not say this be-
cause housewouIs is Womau's sphere, but be-
cause it is honest work that calls her, and any
honest work in her power is better than starya-
tion, and more dignifed than complaint and
cutlery. # il were picking apples or gather
ing huckleberries instead Of housework,
should recommend that just the same.

STARVATION AND CANNlBAL1sM IN AL
GERIA.-The French papers in Algeria Civ
ing accounts of the terrible famine prevailing
there, mention several instances where the
rayenous hunger Of the starving people drove
them to cannibalism. In one of taese two
women agreed to eat their children, lots were
drawn, and the child Of one Of the women
killed and deyoured, This hideous supply of
food coming to an end. the woman who had
sacrificed her child demanded that the other
should fulfil her share of the contract This
the Wretched mother refused. and the other
then appealed to the authorities to compel /.
specific performance of the horrible compact
The women were, OF course, taken into custo-
dy. In another case four Arabs were arrest
ed, in whose tent the body Of young man
was found, with portions Of the flesh missing !;
and in an earthen jar pieces of human flesh
were discovered, mixed with pepper and
Arab spices. Several ccrpses were exhumed
in the neighborhood. all wanting the extrem-
tiles, and it was ascertained that these had
been eaten. F5.GQ assn "a

CURIOUS FAoTs. AT the last meeting of
the State Medical Society at Albany DR.
Stats, of that city, said he had been practics
ing medicine for the last fifty years, and had
for a lang time been more or less about the
penitentiaries, where he came in constant con-
tact with druukards, and he had never en-
countered case Of delifium tremeas in a pure
negro. lie had spoken and written to many
gentlemen about it, and never heard Of case,
and wished TO ask if any member Of this Soci-
ETY. had ever known SUCH case. Thesoeety
WAS silent, and DR.. Stats has yet to discoy-
er the first case Of dellrlum tremens ina ne-
gro. He only states this fact, he said but
could not pretend TO givesthe reasoa.
lie also mentioned another singular fact,
that while before the var he used to have un-
der his charge thirty or forty casess Of delirum
tremens in year among white patients, dur
ing the last two years had only had three cases.
He did not attempt to explain this fact either,
it might be that liquor was SO dear that peo-
pie could not get enough of it to drink, or
that there was SO little alcohol in it that it did
not have the usual effect.
