\ FAMINE.

A fearful story Of suffering is revealed in
the report Just published by the Gazette OF
India, OF the lir kal or throe-fJld famine Of
grass, grain, and rain, which occurred in
1868 1859, with fnghtiul severity over 100,
900 square miles Of RaipOolana, surprising
in intenity any which ;has occurred since
1912, and almost equaling that OF 1861, OF
which tue record is preserved that three
quarters Of the cattle died and that man ate
man The scantY crops which struggled up
ia spite of drought were swept away by a
plaugue of locusts /; cholera fastened on the
starved people, aud terrible fever followed,
striking down the entire population. The
deaths from this latter cause alone are put
down at 20 per cent of the Inhabitants, while
in some of the Marwaree districts they rose
as high as one-thrd. Taking the most
moderate Of tho statistics furnished, the
local authorities calculate that In Marwar
and Aimere and the other districts, no less
than $50, 900 human beings died oil d!sease
aud starvation. The flmiaes or periods oil
unusual scarcity which afflict Rajpoolana
have hitherto REQUIRED at intervals Of some
ten or twelve years.

FLIRTING.

The following article from The Saturday
ReUiew IS upon a subject ia winch most of The
Younger portion of The fair sex are interest
ed, and will be peiuscd by them with inter-
est:
Snme wrmcn are able to flint with impu-
niiy to an extent which would simply de-
stroy any one else. They flrt with the most
dtlicinus lrankness, yet for AL practical pur-
roses TO keep their places In society undis-
iurbed and their Tepute intact They have
the art OF making the best Of two worlds, the
secret Of which is all their own, yet which
causes the weak to stumble, and the rash to
fall. They ride on two horses at once, with
q skill as cOnsummaie as their daring, but
the feeble sisters who follow alter them slip
down between, and come to giief and public
disaster as their reward. II IS 10 vuin To
aualyze the terms on which this kind Of priv
ilege is founded. Say that one pretty person
takes the tone OF universal relaiionslip-that
she has an illimitHbl fund Of sisterliness a
ways al command for host OF "dear boys"
OF her own age, or, when little older, and
drawing to the borders oil mature sirenhood,
that she is kind Ol mcumenical aunt to a
large congregation OF well-looking nephews
she may steer safely through the shadows
of this dangerous cost, and land at last on
the terra frmd of a respected old age; but
let another try il, and the goes to the bottom
| like stone. And yet the first has pushed
her privileges as far rs they will go; while
the second isonly played with hers; but tho
one comes tliumphantly into port with ~
colors flying, and the other makes shipwrcck
and is lost. Aud why tbs one escapes aud
the other goes down. is mystery gwen tC
no one to fathom. But so it is; and every
student Of society is aware of this Strange
elasticity of privilege with certain pretty
friends, and must haYe more that once won
dered at Mrs. Grundy's leniency to the fla
grant sinner on the right side of The square
coupled with her severity to the lesser uaught
mess on the left. The flirting form Of priyi

all; and things which one fair patentee may
do with impunity, retaining her garlands wi
cause another to be chaslised with scorpions
and no one knows why or how the difference

A Very singular and Mysterious Occur

"Mr. 2. ]. White. whose death occurred
last week, was striken on his return from

to lis father the late Robert White. This
clock is Of the old fashioned high kind, and
has been stopped for years, not even

kept as family relic. When Mr.. White

Ages.

The remainder, nine men and five
Women, will be scattered along between
sixty and eighty years--an age at which
almost any one would be expected TO
know better. 1t will be seen, however,
that the desire as well as the opportunity
for marriage falls off rapidly in both sexes
after thirty--up to that age both seem to
increase. In twenty-seven thousand five
hundred marriages, or thereabout. there
will be one hundred and nineteen men and
only sixteen women between sixty and
seventy years Of age, while fourteen men
and four women will be between seventy
and eighty.
Interesting as these ancients are, there
is still another class deserving of some
thing more than passing notice. We
mean old maids. How many are there, and
what are their matrimonial chances? We
have already stated that twenty-one out of
every hundred women who reach the mar
riage-age, namely % 4G years, never marry.
But even this does not tell the exact num-
Dor Of manageable women who are wait
ing for husbands, If, indeed, SO ungallant q
thing as this may be said Of any. But,
then, how is it possible to expect an alge-
braic sign to be guilty of gallantrys From
the best authority that can be had upon
this exceedingly interesting topic, it ap-
pears that the number of unmarried and
manageable women, within those hereto
fore mentioned as the manageable ages,
namely, fifteen and forty five, Is about
twenty five per cent. Of the whole number
of women living between those ages.
It seems to be part of the creed of
the disconnected sisterhood, whether wives
or spinsters, that one of the inalienable
rights of woman entities her to a husband
1t will be seen that nature sets her face
against this assumption, and makes very
different decree. The truth is, that every
woman living between the ages Of fifteen
and forty five has twenty-five chances in
one hundred of dying an old maid-that
is, her chances of marriage are - four to
one. This Is just enough TO give them all
hope, and not sufficient to drive any to

Steaming Food for Stock.

The New England Farmer give Mr.. E.
w. Stewart, OF North Evans, n. Y, as
authority on the following points in favor
of steaming food for stock:
/. 1t renders muddy hay, straw, and
corn-stalks sweet and palatable.
2. 1t ditfuses the odor Of the shorts, corn
meal, oil meal, carrots, or whatever is
mixed with the feed, with the whole mass.
3. 1t softens the tough fiber of the dry
corn-stalk, rye-straw, and other hard ma
terial, rendering it almost like green succu-
lent food, and easily masticated and di-
gested by the animal.
A. 1t enables the feeder to turn every
thing raised into food for the stock, with
out lessening the value Of his manure.
Indeed, the manure made from steamed
food decomposes more readily, and is there
fore more valuable than when the food Is
used in fresh state. Manure SO made is
always ready for use, and is regarded by
those who have used it as much more val
liable, from the same bulk, than that made
fIom uncooked food.
s. 1t cures incipient heaves in horses !;
arrests cough, alleviates constipation, and
seems to have all the good influences of
grass the natural food Of animals.

the appearance Of the animal, at once

. brighter color; regulates the digestion,

Does Shbs0iling Pay?

In answering this question, the Rural
Cdrolinidn, among other things, says:
Some soils will hold water like pan !;
some, the water will percolate through
and go out at the base of the HILL Not
only the kind OF soil, but the peculiaries
of locality should influence our decision
on this subject. There are localities where
the surface soil has been exhausted, when
eight or ten inches below, you may strike
soil as good or better than the original
mold on the surface. Here, say, by all
means, subsoil; and not only subsoil, but
bring a portion of the subsoil to the sur
face, if possible; but if you have two
inches of soil and pipe clay substrata, sub
soiiing can do no good, for in a wet season
it will hold too much water for the crop
without subsoiling. What you now want
is thorough draining, close and deep, with
main trunk as an outlet"
