The Famine i'm India.

The two chief causes that combine to pro-
duce the present terrible famine in British
India are the insufficiency of water during
the dry seasons for irrigating the agricul-
tural lands and the exclusive use Of cereals
as food by the great bulk of the population.
The vast plateau OF the Indian peninsula,
between the Eastern and Western Ghauts, is
peculiarly liable to severe droughts. During
these prolonged suspensions of rainfall the
earth becomes parched and vegetation
wthers completely away, leaving the sur
face of the country bare waste of burning
sand and rock. Crops planted in anticipa-
ton of favorable season perish. and the
inhabitants, having no other food resources
than those produced by the soil, are stricken
with all the horrors OF famine. Under the
ancient native rulers of the country prepara-
ton was made in every district liable to
suffer during tho dry seasons by the con-
struction of vast water tanks or "bunds" in
which the rainfall was carefully stored for
use in times of necessity. Some of these
"bunds," such as that in South Arcot, have
q storage capacity for seventeen thousand
millions of gallons of water, enough to sup
ply a large and important system of irrigat-
ing canals for the greater part of year.
The Hindoos brought the art of canal en-
gineering to great perfection, some of their
works being now the only resources of tho
famine stricken millions of Central and
Western India by which supplies can be
transported from place to place.
But another cause for the famine exists in
the grasping policy of their European mas
ters, which has tended to disturb, and fire.
quently to destroy, the time tried systems of
the natives The railroads constructed by
the Anglo-Indian government have been de-
signed mainly MS strategic lines of commu-
nication between important military sta
tions. They are of little use when wanted
to transport food to the centres Of distress.
The public works carried on during the
famine years are mainly public roads and
railways which form a part Of the system re-
ferred to- The enormous revenues of the
British government derived from India arc
the results of a grinding taxation from
which the population derive little or no
benefit. If comprehensive and liberal
policy were adopted toward the natives by
which every rupee over and above the gov
ernmcnt expenses should be devoted to the
construction of irrigating canals and other
works Of equal utility, the teeming soil Of

sentimental B.nevolence.

Not the least depressing feature of the
prevailing distress among the poor is the
work that remains undone by many people
who have both money and the charitable
impulse. These individuals are touched by
the miseries of the destitute they long to
be useful, but their usefulness is impeded,
if not entirely arrested, by o lot of fanciful
notions which they fondly cherish for tEeir
own sake. If they haunt the courts of
ging to be committed as paupers their
pocketbooks remain closed because they do
not see interesting looking objects of charity !;
if they eye the sad line of applicants at st.
Johns Guild they search for some attractive
face, while they neglect the wretched
mother whose every lineament and every
rag of covering is eloquent of WOO; if they
visit nsylums with the view of adopting an
orphan child they demand some one with
graces and virtues not to be found
collectively outside Of the kingdom of
heaven. Charity was not administered in
this style in Judea nineteen centuries ago;
the hungry were fed because their stomachs
were empty, not because they were pleasant
to look upon; the sick were healed because
they needed to be made well, even if their
maladies were self-inficted; the prisoner
was visited because he was in Jail, even if
there were no extenuating circumstances in
his yillany. To let women and children
suffer because the head Of the family is o
drunken brute, to neglect shivering chill
dren because they carry dirty faces and out
rage every grammatical rule, or to allow a
starving man to suffer on because his face is
unshaved and his gait is shambling is to
mistake the true nature of charity and to
convict the would-be philanthropist of
something worse than blundering.
