The War Talk at Paris.

Here in Paris we hear great deal of war talk, the Bourse being agitated by all sorts of reports, afternoon and evening. But there is hope that France may not be involved at this time, for all reasoning men see that she would have to struggle again without allies. Changes may be brought about as the eastern war is de- veloped which will bring her into in innate relations with England, Austria and Italy, but for the moment she has to keep extremely quiet. Every movement she makes is noted across the Rhine the transfer of single regiment to. the eastern departments is questioned as a menace. And the speech of Field Marshal Von Meltke shows us that the military authorities of Germany are on the qui pive. But the French govern ment has resolved to keep out of the quarrel if it can, and the Due Decazes is showing great prudence in the conduct of his department. The French do not want war. They dread it above all things at this time. sTheir military organization is not yet fully completed /; but they regard the possibility of compli- cations with q sort of resignation which is, perhaps, surer evidence of strength than the excessive confidence shown at the moment when the popuace was cry. ing Berim about the streets of the capi. tai --Paris Cor. \. r Times.

Starvation in Northern China.

Simultaneously with the dearth in India, famine is raging in the north of China but while the care and energy of the Indian government reduces the dis tress in the former case to a minimum, people are dying by thousands in China of sheer starvation. The scenes of the chief distress are in the north and east, in the extreme north of Kiangsu, in Shantung, in Pechili, and in Shanse i; and from Shantung especially the ac> counts are heartrenderirg. The whole tract of country suffered last summer from severe drouth, which nearly de> stroyed the crops; and the peasantry having eaten what little grain they had in store, or were able to gather, are re- duced to the last stage of want. The people are eating grain husks, potato stalks, and elm bark, 4buckwheat stalks, turnip leaves, and grass seeds, which they gather up in the fields. After these are exhausted they pull down their houses and sell the timber, and many eat the rotten sorghum stalks .from the roof. They sell their clothes and chil- dren. Having no clothing left to pros tect them from the cold, many take refuge in pits underground to keep them selves warm by the fetid breath of the crowd. In the east surbubs of Chinge> how city there are four such pits. Ones third of the number (240) originally put into them are now dead within six weeks, and no sooner is corpse carried out than crowd are struggling for the place. Villages of 800 families report 300 dead of starvation villages of BOO report 100 dead.
 Almost the whole province of Shan> tung is suffering but the suffering of eight hien districts is said to beyond de> scription, and as each contains an average of 1000 villages, the thousands who have already perished may be too readily conceived.
 The government are doing next to nothing to relieve the distress. They have allotted only fl4,000 for the whole of these eight districts---a mere pittance for such calamity.--London Times.

Bnshels.

According to the most moderate esti- mate, the average quantity of cereals | necessary for the consumption of each inhabitant is 14 9-1O bushels per annum, and, therefore, all the states that come alter Sweden upon the list have to obtain grain supplies from other coutl- tries. In this country three-fifths of the cereal production consists of corn, In Europe oats predominate, and next in quantity come wheat, rye, barley and corn. Russia, Prussia, and France pro- duce large wheat crops, and the two first are our greatest competitors in the Eng fish market. In Roumania and Servia corn takes the first rank. Prior to 1860 Russia and Prussia led the United States in the supply of wheat. From 1859 to 1861 the exports of wheat from this country to England sprang suddenly up from 340, ,504 cwt. to 15, ,510,47 cwt., while in the same period Russia advanced only from 3,S37,454 cwt., to 4 ,467 ,483 cwt., and Prussia from 3,345, 1901 cwt., to 1, 4,462,573 cwt. The lead taken so sud- denly by this country has ever since been maintained. Tables covering the years from 1860 to 1872 show that the United 'ototco euPPlcu EHSIdHu uuIiHS tHdt period with 2S.5 per cent. of her total imports of wheat, including flour, against 24.7 per cent. from Russia, and TIP per cent. from Germany. In the same period England imported 43 per cent of her total importations of corn from this country. In 1852 the exports of corn from his country to Great Britain only amounted to 1,341 1904 bushels, against 1,795.6S2 bushels from Turkey and Roumania, and 1,795,6S2 bushels from Russia. At present Roumania and southern Russia, to lesser degree, are our principal competitors in the supply of corn. The year 1876 was good harvest year in England prices were low, and the total imports of wheat were only 44.394, 152 cwt., against 51 ,S86, 1893 cwt. in 1875. The following table gives the sources of supply:

Stick to your Business.

There is nothing which should be more frequently impressed upon the minds of young men than the importance of steadily pursuing some one business. The frequent changing from one employ ment to another, is one of the most common errors committed, and to it may be traced more than half the failures of men in business, and much of the dis content and disappointment which rem der life uncomfortable. It is very common thing for man to be dissatisfied with his business, and to desire to change it for some other, which, it seems to him, will prove more lucrative employment; :; but in nine cases out of ten, it is mis- take. Look around you, and you will ind among your acquaintances abundant verification of our assertion.
 There is an honest farmer who has toiled few yeals, got his farm paid for, but does not grow rich rapidly, as much for lack of contentment mingled with in- dustry as anything, though he is not stories of California, and how fortunes may be had for the trouble of picking them up; mortgages his farm to raise the money, goes away to the land of gold, and, after many months of hard toll, come home to commence again at the bottom of the hill for more weary and less successful climbing mp again.
