A Modern IS CruSOe.''

THE Reading Pa.) Eagle publishes
an article about a modern Robinson
Crusoe, man who left this country in
1861, to evade going to the war, and
who was cast away among savages,
with whom he made his abode for six
teen years, and now returns to his
home in Reading, hardly able to speak
his native tongue. His name is Samuel
Wenrich, and he is described as heavy
bearded, swarthy and foreign-looking,
more like mulatto than a white man,
and with heavy ringlets falling down
his broad shoulders. His first state
ment to the Eagles representative was
that when he left New York, in 1861,
he had 500 in his pocket, and he has
some of the money now. He went to
Rio Janeiro, and thence sailed for Cape
Town, South Africa. Off the west
coast of Africa, cit must have been
near the Congo River" he says, he was
sent ashore with a Portuguese in search
of water, but when they returned the
vessel was gone, and they never saw it
again. His companion was eaten up
the same night by wild beast, and
there he lived alone with the natives
for sixteen long years. Il had given
up years ago all hopes Of returning to
civilization" he says, "but there was
one thing that imbued me with a desire
to return to my native country" And
then he told his interviewer that what
aroused him from an apathy which
promised to be lifelong, was that one
day while crossing large river he
found handkerchief between two
rocks, marked in one corner, "Henry
NJ. Stanley" Returning to the village
he had made his home, he was told that
white men had been there during his
absence. Then he started to walk
home, and in eighty days reached Cape
Town, about two months ago. There
he caught boat bound for New York
and took passage at once. While very
proud of the Stanley memento, he de-
clares that many of the great explorers
letters are incorrect as regards the
country, and goes on to relate his ex-
perience with the natives and their
habits.

costs Of the foreclosure of the claim arc
fearful. Miss Nightingale cites one
case, where, upon. a debt of IA, the
costs were f16, or 400 per cent. All
these things occur under English law.
The consequence is that the title of the
land is going to the usurers, and India
is starving to death. Terrible as is the
picture, it is sketched by the hand of a
woman who, by her devotion in the
Crimea, has proven her devotion to
Britain and its highest interests. Sure
ly British rulers cannot neglect such
evils in the Provinces which give to the
sovereign her proudest title. Let us
add only a single paragraph of incl
dents which she relates from the life:
"In the Madras famine (1873-1874)
children of seven to ten years used to
bring poor little naked living skeletons
Of two and three and four years to the
Government relief centers, feeding the
babies day after day for weeks with the
daily dole, asking for nothing for them
selves. till the little foster-mothers
would themselves sink at the gates.
They were often of no kin, sometimes
even of different caste or religion.
Hundreds of fathers and mothers going
to other parts of the country to get
work and food, left children to die in
their villages. Little ones who had no
little fOster-mOthers, wandered about
to get dole of food from any one who
would give, then laid down and died
with-pass me the word-the heroic
agony of childish patience. For ex-
ample, one missionary from Cuddapah
met in one day over one hundred
(children) who had no one in the world
to care for them" Western Rural.

A Fearful Indictment.

FLORENCE NIGHTINGALE, in the Nine
tee'sth Century for August, dispels the
glamor which is sedulously spread over
British rule in India. She gives the
number of those who have died from
famine in that country with single
year, apparently 1874. at 5000, 900.
The official figures for the years 1878
are 1,85O,OO0. The evils which she
cites as the causes of the terrible raw
ages of death are: The lack of irriga-
ton, which the local administration
has engaged to provide; the monstrous
taxation which brushes out manufact-
ures; and the usury which is permitted
by the laws. The famine has been
war(led off from the Provinces of Tan
jore and Kistna, where irrigation has
been provided. In other Provinces
one person out of four of the total
population has been starved to death.
The cry of the land and of the people
is for the water which the Government
has the power to secure. Of taxation,
Miss Nightingale cites the duty levied
on salt of seven pounds q ton upon q
cost of rs. Cd. This is a tax of
more than HOO per cent. on a
chief necessity of life. Our indignant
author declares that manufactures
are strangled by the tax on salt" Yet
this is in the chief dominion of the Gov
eminent which claims to be the leading
champion of free trade for all the
world. She has reason for calling the
authorities to account for their griev-
Gus extortions upon these suffering
Provinces.
The taxes are rendered more bur-
densome by the fact that they are pay
able in money, and not in kind as in
Olden times. As a consequence the
people must get money for this pur-
pose at every risk. Whether they have
crops or not, whether their products
are salable or not, the taxes must be
paid. The producer often has to Dor
row money to satisfy the tax-gatherer.
For this he has to pay commonly so
per cent, and often more, even up to
loo per cent. The money-lender is
shrewd there as elsewhere; the ryot is
often ignorant, and he signs for his
loan the bond presented to him. The

the Same fashion as the elaborate
tiles and "hives'' employed in France.
Those oyster catchers are, however,
prepared in curious manner. The
canes are exposed for about two
months to the rays Of the sun, and then
placed for a similar period in salt wa
ter; after which they are again dried
for several days, the object being to
preserve them from decay and prevent
the twisting or warping of the bamboo.
Notches are then cut in the canes, into
which empty oyster-shells are fixed,
like. SO many cups, and thus prepared
they arc driven into the. seashOre be-
tween high and low-water mark, and
left standing to catch the young spat.
Those localities are considered the best
where the rise and fall of the tide is
the greatest, so that the bivalves may
be alternately covered by the flood and
exposed to the air on the ebb. There
the young oysters thrive well and de-
velop rapidly, and are quite ready for
the market when they are two years
old. A large trade is carried on by the
persons who pursue the calling, and
who have many thousands of these col
lcctors planted in favorable situations,
and some successful breeders have
been known to realize large fortunes.
In China, large quantities Of the oyster
are dried instead of being eaten in a
fresh state. For that purpose they are
taken from the shells, simply plunged
into boiling water, and then removed
at once, after which process they are
exposed to the rays of the sun until
every particle of moisture has evap-
grated. In that state they will keep
for any length of time, and are said to
preserve all the delicacy of their flavor.
The finest and fattest bivalves, bred
and fed on the leaves and cuttings of
the bamboo, are selected for prepara-
ton by that method, those taken from
the natural beds being inferior in quail
ity, and not sufficiently plump to stand

Keep Your Head Up.

DOLEFUL and morose people can be
detected on the streets from their way
of carrying the head. 1t is inclined for
ward and has a disjointed, swinging
motion. The face is carried as if anx-
ious to "git thar in advance of the
toes, looks awfully mournful and is
generally wrinkled; the nasal organ
has mournful droop, and appears as
If the blood was not allowed to run
freely down the back of their necks,
which seemingly gives the nose such
an erysipelatous coloring. that it is
mistaken for an indication of anti-blue
ribbon indulgences. Look up when on
the street. If disposed to do other
wise, force the habit on yourself of car
rying the head erect, your eyes exalted
and bent on things above the sidewalks
and cutters. There is nothing cheer
ing to be found in studying pavements
and cobble-stones. Glance at the tree
tops, at the sunshine. Light on the
eye always has tendency to cheer the
mind, because the brain connects di-
rectly with the optic nerves and pleas
ing effect on them touches the thought
and enlivcns it accordingly. Beside.
to carry ones nose high is alleged by
phrenologists to be an evidence of self
confidence and independence of spirit.
"As happy as a cowboy is frequent
ly quoted. These barefooted urchins
almost invariably 60 along with their
head aloft, eyes bent on the horizon,
and a notable characteristic is their
propensity for whistling. The latter is
another cheerful habit. Whistle lustl-
ly; whistle on all proper occasions. 1t
is an exceptional case of man who
cannot whistle, however poor his music
al education may be. The habit ex-
pands the lungs, gives the mind an
agreeable sensation, and keeps one
from brooding over troubles. A lady
of considerable fame has paid whistlers
a eulogy by asserting that she never
fears a man who whistles, because evil
thoughts find no room in the heart OF
the one who is fond of such pleasing
exercise.-Iroy IN. W Times.
