TElE MADRAS FAMINE,

In the Madras famine children OFT to
10 years used to bring poor little naked
living skeletons of and and4 years to
the Government relief centres, feeding the
babies day after day, for weeks, with the
daily dole, asking nothing for themselves,
till the little foster-mothers would them
selves sink faintng at the gates. These
were often of no kin; sometimes even ofa
different caste of religion. A little kind
ness 'makes the whole world kim" Hun
dreds 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 foster-mothers
wandered about to geta dole of food from
any one who would give, then lay down and
died with-pass me the word-the heroic
agony of childish patience. For example,
one missionary from Cuddapah met in one
days journey 100 who had no one to care
for them. He stopped and helped the
oldest, telling them to look after the little
ones; but he believed that, all, or nearly
adj, died. This ledto himself and his wife
opening Temporary Home" one only
out of many such instances, of course,
for children under 10 years. No tempta-
ton to idIeness was held out, and in five
weeks many were restored so as to be sent
out to work One orphan boy, years
old, told as soon as he could speak that he
knew of other famine orphans-might he
bring them =? And lie instantly sailed out
and brought in first two little Mohamme-
dan boys under 6, then carried in from o
great distance, in his skeleton arm, q little.
girl too far gone to stand orsit up, and!
who apparently could not live through the
night. But with good nursing she was
brought round to look like moving skele-
ton and eat rice. tiny Mohammedan of
8 would call another but o little older who
tried to take care of her, her sister. The
two could not be parted, and both were
taken. Both had lost their fathers and
mothers of cholera in the relief camps
Mothers often brought in children, breath
ing their last, to the Temporary Homes,
and the missionaries begged "famine Or
phans" from Government, and took them
into their "boarding schools" The Other
children uniformally showed kindness te
these orphans. The famine fund gave bull
locks and seed grain to many of the sur
vivors returning home.-Mss Nightingale,
IN Nineteenth Century.

and ,102 actresses. Besides these forty
eight theaters Paris supports fifty-six
cafes-concerts, together with countless
hippodromes, circuses, dancing halls and
other places of amusements. Turning
from this picture we see that during the
past year there has been a great amount
of financial suffering in Paris. Over
$S,000,0OO in loans have been made by
the, pawn shops to the indigent-a far
greater amount than in any previous
year. An unusual number of these ar
ticles have never been redeemed, thus in
dicating the continued poverty of the
owners. This makes but little difference
in the tide of amusements. A true Paris
ian enjoys comedy or opera with adj
ditional zest when it has been procured
by visit to his prophetic "uncle'-the
pawnbroker.

CHARITY OFF SPEECH.

Charity of speech is as divine thing as
charity of action. The tongue that
speaketh no evil is as lovely Us the hand
which giveth aims. To judge no one
harshly, to misconceive no mans motives,
to believe things are what they seem to be
until they are proved otherwise, to temper
Judgment with mercy, surely this is quite
as good as to build up churches, establish
asylums and to found colleges. Unkind
words do as much harm as unkind deeds;
many heart has been wounded beyond
cure by words; many reputation has been
stabbed to death by a few little words.
They have separated families, parted hus-
bands and wives, and broken the ties be-
tween the dearest friends.
There is charity which consists in
Withholding words, in keeping back harsh
judgments, in abstaining from speech, if
to speak is to condemn. Such charity
hears the tale of SANDER, but repeats it
not; it will not be the one to help the ball
to roll. 1t listens in silence, but forbears
comment and it locks the unpleasant
secret up in the very depths of its heart.
While the busy censorious world is wag-
ging it's tongue, charity sits dumb amid the
clatter, refrainipg from passing Judgment
on that of which it has no proof, and
which, even if it had would prefer throw
ing the mantel of silence over the un-
pleasant matter. Gould it be possible for
slander to make the headway it does, if
reticence, instead of promulgation, Was
the universal rule? could report be fur
nished with the hundred wings IL has if
there were not so many tongues wagging !?
silence can still rumor it is speech that
keeps it alive and lends it vigor.
It is to the heart that is kind and gentle
that charity flies and broods quietly over
it with the peacefulness of the dove.
There it makes its home, and by the word
withheld and the kindly word outspoken,
we have the sign that the dove of peace is
nesting in the heart.
The heart which is filed with bitterness
will give vent to it in words. 1t sees moth
ing bright nor beautiful, because it looks
through a clouded vision. Words are
II pretty good test of temper and habit of
thought. AS "to the pure all things are
pure" so to the malicious and ll-tempered
all things are black, unlovely, and of i'll
repute. Words arethe signs of thoughts,
and if the thoughts be sweet and good the
words will be kind and gentle, free from
malice and all uncharitableness. There.
fore, by our words do we proclaim what
we are; the good fairy, dropping diamonds
from her mouth, Or tile evil fairy dropping
toads,

SCIENTIFIC.

PEoF. pocKL1NGToN states as the. result
of some experiments made by him with the
hardened French glass, recently introduced,
that it is nearly twice as hard as the ordi
nary article, scratching the latter with
ease, it can be cut, too, with o. good file,
and can be ground, on a stone with sand;
one, piece, which manifested when under
the polariscope evidences of ill-balanced
tension, the neutral line lying near one SUR
face, submitted to transverse growing,
but disintegrated on being ground upon
one surface as soon as the outer surface
had been ground away to the neutral line.
Prof. P. says there appears to be an easily
reached limit, beyond which the surfaces
must not be unequally removed, but there
is practically no.limit beyond which both
surfaces may not be simultaneously re-
moved. This result is confirmed by dis
solving the opposing surfaces away by by
drohuoric acid-the least hard portions
dissolviug much more readily than the
thoroughly hardened and the etched sur.
faces showing wavy lines closely following
the tension lines shown by the polariscope,
on analysis.

THERE appears to be no doubt as to the
success of certain French chemists in their
attempts to obtain rubies ind sapphires by
artificial means, the reproduction being
pronounced exact as regards density, hard
ness, brilliancy, color, and even crystallo-
graphic and optical propcrties-wliich may
therefore be used in watch making, and
may be cut by the lapidary. The method
of production in this case consists in heat
ing for long time, at o red heat, mix
ture of illuminate of lead and silica
Thirty kilograms of the mixture are thus
treated for twenty days. The alumina is
gradually liberated, and crystalizrs; ii
now gives colorless corundum, but if two
or three hundredths of bichronate of
potash be introduced into the mixture,
this acquires the color of rubies, or. with
a little oxide of cobalt, the sapphire is OBJ
tanned.

THE presence of hydrogen in iron, says
writer in the Complies Rendus, appears to
modify greatly its magnetic properties. A
platinum wire, coated with galvanic iron,
was placed in the axis of a magnetic needle,
oscillating on a point or pivot, and at q
fixed distance from one of its extremities.
The needle, drawn from its position of
equilibrium, oscillated twenty-s six times in
minute. The iron having been magnet
lied and replaced at the same distance
from the needle, the latter made forty-two
oscillations in the same time; heated to u
red heat, the iron lost its poles; when
magnetized anew to saturation, it made
the needle oscillate only thirty-thres times
in o minnie. Thus assuming that the
magnetic forces of the iron in these three
states were to each other as the squares Of
the number of oscillations, and taking as
unity the magnetic force of hydrogenized
iron not magnet:zed, the result is 2.609 for
the magnetized hydrogenized iron, and
1.G1o for the iron deprived of hydrogen
and magnetized.

AN inventor who con serve both IN eco
nomical and humane purpose is a double
benefactor to the race, and such must be
the estimate placed on the German inven-
tor who has recently brought forward an
apparatus designed to lessen the strain
upon q particularly at atstarting-of a
loaded vehicle. The traces are, in this ar
rangement, fastened to an iron rod, running
through the centre of a cylinder containing
several rings of gutta percha. When,
therefore, the horse exerts himself, the
strain first comes upon and congresses
these rings, saving his shoulders. The
German War Department. it is announced,
having made experiments and found that
the saving of force, not alone at starting
but during traction, was at least third,
has decided to employ the attachment in
its artillery and military trains.

AN investigation recently made in France
of the steering qualities of ships is stated TO
have completely established the fact that
the reversing of the screw of steamer
with full way on very much diminishes her
steering powers, so that, where q collision
is imminent, to reverse the screw and use
the rudder as if the ship would answer to
it in the usual way is a certain means of
bringing about the disaster-a very i'm
portant circumstance, certainly, as colli-
sions are well known to have been caused.
by the very means taken to prevent them.
1t is further stated, in this connection, that
ship will turn faster, and for an angle of
thirty degrees in less room, when driving
full speed ahead, than with her engines re-
versed even if the rudder is rightly used;
thus, when an obstacle is too near to admit
of stopping the ship, then the only chance
is to keep the engines on full speed ahead,
aud SO give the rudder an opportunity, Of
doing its work.

THE expense of being a frst-class
sportsman in Great Britain is in some
cases enormous. Those who "rent shoot
ings" often pay the most extravagant
prices. The London Times gives list of
annual rents paid for some of these priv
icges to shoot wild fowl and deer. 1t
states that the highest is paid by Mr..
Winans an American, for Glentrathfarer,
in Inverness-shire, Scotland, the property
Of Lord Lovat, for which the moderate
sum of 1000 per annum is paid. To
this must be added the cost of gillies,
horses, dogs and other etceteras. Lord
Dudley pays the Earl of Breadalbane
94,500 a year for the use of Blacbman,
Argyleshire. Lord Zetland pays Sir
John Ramsden $4,000 for hunting the
forest of Ben Adler. Queen Victoria
borrows the shooting of Abergeldie for
$4,000, and Ballochbeire for 81, 600 per
annum, and yet we never heard of Her
Majesty shooting a duck or deer during
her long reign. These large shooting
ranges for which such high prices are
paid, if divided up into small farms and
properly cultivated, would furnish homes
and food for the pauper millions of Great
Britain and Ireland; but then, Oh
Lord! what would the lordly sports
men do?

10000. The number of actors, musi-

Mr.. COUGH, the well-known platform
gymnast and temperance lecturer, is now
in England, and appears to be spreading
himself over a good deal of ground, aside
from cold water topics. On the latter
subject he has made for himself a world
wide fame. But he is ambitious of cul-
tivating new fields. At Gloucester
recently he made a fierce onslaught
against universal suffrage. He declared
that the system was working awfully
in America" in the cities particu-
larly "the vilest and the lowest are
ruling" and cites the instance of prize
fighter and black-leg being sent to Con-
gress ''to represent one of the most intel
igent districts in New York" This
refers to the late John Morrissey, but is
not true in fact, as Mr.. Morrissey did not
represent any such district in Congress
but what he did was to represent about
the hardest district in the city in a very
creditable way-in way that astonisheC
his constituents and even elected the
approval of his adversaries. On the
question of suffrage Cough, like Prince
Bismarck, favors long step backward
rigid limitation of the governing popu
Iation to a select few. He declares tina
great battle would have to be fought il
the States, and he, the said Cough, hope
to get back to his adopted country ant
stand side by side with those who ar,
fighting to restrict the right of voting
Mr.. Coughs many friends would b.
better pleased to see him stick to cold
instead of plunging into hot, water.
