The Famine in China.

You have IRON time to time received
startling rumors and disconnected de-
tails OF what will long be known in
history a the China famine. but it is
only now when the prospect of its ter
miu4tiOn presents itself, and the sea-
sons crops approaching maturity place
a limit to its ravages, that we can calmly
review It's details. The first informa-
ton foreigners received at the treaty
ports Of a prospect Of famine was in
Deem Der, 1876. By the last of the
month the people were dying by thou
sands. while the arrival Of 100 600 ref
ugees VAS reported at Ysngchow, 300
miles from their homes, described by
She native paper as "quacking like
geese from hunger" In March the
Rev. Timothy Richards, who from that
date TO this has made his headQ quarters
wherever the suffering was greatest,
writes
n the summer time the cry of the
people was for rain, rain. Nowit is for
very life. Having finished their corn.
they eat grass, husks, potato-stalks, and
chew bark, acorns, turnip-leave., and
grass. seeds, which they gather in the
fields and sieve the dust from. 1t is
reported everywhere that many eat the
stalks from the roofs of their houses.
Of their eating incl leaves there is no
doubt; thousands die because they can
not get even that. Out of a family Of
four three are dead. Villages of 500
families repor. 800 dead OF starva-
tion.
l.. ID
in an appeal to his countrymen for aid
confirms the worst we had heard, and
goes on to state that, in spite of the in
tense cold, the sufferers had been fore I'd

timber. eat the rotten sorghum stalks
from the roof and the dried leave.
which they usually burn as fuel. Then
they sell their clothes and children.
Having no more clothes, many take
refuge in pits built under the ground
to keep themselves warm by the fetid
breath of the crowd "a course which
is simple death. For the east suburb
of ChingChow City there are four such
pits. One-third of the number, $40.
originally put in them died within six
weeks, and yet, no sooner is a corpse
carried out than a crowd is struggling
for the place. Starvation by inches
faces these unfortunate people, and
deputations of old men who come to
beg relief weep like little children be-
fore you when they find there is none
to be had. Not day passes but one
must refuse to many who ask it perhaps
the last bit they would have eaten"
As though death were disconnected
with the slowness of his harvest, we
find fresh source open to hasten the
work of annihilation, and that dreadful
scourge, typhus fever. or famine. enters

PHoroGRAPHISG HEART BEAT.-One
Of the most remarkable applications Of
photography is that by which it is now
made to register, and in the most accu-
rate manner, the mechanical motion Of
the heart. The device by which tins re-
suit is attained is, indeed, a triumph Of
inventive skill. 1t consists of thin.
india-rubber bag. to which short glass
tube is attached; sufficient mercury is
poured into tue apparatus to fill tho
bag and Il portion of the tube. and the
instrument is then placed over the heart
Of the person to be examined. Ar
ranged in this manner. every pulsatlon
of the heart is indicated by a cores
ponding movement of the mercury of
the tube, and. by suitable Photographic
apparatus, provided with a moving,
sensitive slip of paper, perfect regis
tration Of the extent and rate OF the
pulsation is obtained. The interesting
fact is made known by this process that
the fall of the pulse sometimes takes
place in successive horizontal lines. the
column reascending two or three times
before falling altogether.

AT low tide, at Monterey, CAL, part
of the wreck of vessel, formerly the
N,talia, can be seen, though very few
who see it are aware that she was the
ship on which Napoleon Bonaparte es-
capped from Elba GO years ago. The
old vessel, now slowly going to pieces
in the Pacific, brought to California,
in 1884, from Mexico, the colony of
Hijas whose members intended to set
tie in what was then Sonoma county.
Not liking Sonoma, they returned to
Monterey. and gradually dwindled into
indistinction, being typifed by the ship
that had transported them thither.

What Came Of one Hive Of Bees.

In memorial to Congress relative to
tie coming census of the United States,
the Superintendent of the Census of 1860
Mr.. Kennedy, gives the following stat
istics as anillustration CT the stupendous
results from q single hive of bees, trans
ported to the Pacific coast less than 80
years ago. From the single county of
San Diego, California, in 1876. there
was shipped the astonishing figure of
1,250, 600 lbs. In 1877 there were in
that county $4,000 colonies of bees, and
in one day, September 6, 1878, there
were shipped from that port 7S barrels,
1.O5Scases and 1Stons and that from and
including July IL to November 10, 1873,
less than four months. that one county
exported over !, GOO barrels, IA, 544 cases
and nearly 20 tons. He who would strike
out (from the census repOrt) the item
of honey, could not have known, Sc
great has the interest in this product
become, that many people in California
have from 500 to 1000 hives, and that
over 100 people in one county have
each more than 100 colonies of bees.
According to the London Ne,cs of JAN
uary Is, there arrived in November, at
Liverpool, 80 tons of honey, the product
of the bees of one individual; and that
a Mr.. Hodge, in the first week of Janu-
airy last, landed 100 tons at London
wharf, the product of California. The
annual product of honey has grown to
35,OOO,0O0 lbs. annually.-Scienttfc

A Word 10 the Corpulent.

Instead of regarding obesity as an abnor-
NAL condition, navy people have enormously
considered it as an evidence Of health, and
any agent that reduces fat is therefore at
once suspected Of being injurious. Starting
to reason from the false position that fat is an
evidence Of health, it is not surprising that
they should, very naturally, fail Into the error
Of supposing that an agent possessing prop
critics capable of reducing corpulency would
prove injurious to the health. Reasoning,
however, from the rational basis, that an IN
due deposition Of fat, constituting obesity, is
not a healthy but q morbid condition, il is
quite as natural for us to arrive az the oppo-
site conclusion, e., which Is sustained by expo
rience and observation, that the reduction OF fat
in cases Of corpulency is invariably followed
by an, improvement of strength, spirits and
physical comforts. Allan's Anti-Fat will re-

HINTS FOR THE HOUSEHOLD.

-Turpentine will remove ink from
white woodwork.
Milk soup is very nice dish for
children or sick people.
-Yelk of eggs is as nourishing as
the white, though little heavier.
TO soften the hard, dry putty in the
windows, wet it with muriatic acid.
Onions may be soaked all night
without taking the flavor out of them.
Rubbing the hands with slice of
raw potato will remove vegetable stains.
Water can be purified in q cistern
by dropping in large piece OF common
charcoal.
-Oxalic acid will remove stains, ink
and iron rust, but must not be allowed to
stand long on the goods or paint.
For all sorts of cooking except the
sick room beef suet is preferable, be-
cause richer, easier dissolved and more
digestible
Bleeding of wound in man or beast
can be stopped by mixture of wheat
flour and common salt, in equal parts,
bound on with cloth.
A good wash for the teeth is made
by putting equal parts of borax and
camphor gum into bottle of water and
letting it stand for a short time before
using.
I'm making apple-dumplings it is
best oput 3 little sugar inside the apple
before putting it in the stove. The
melting of the sugar helps to thaw the
apple.
"A good way to clean zinc is to rdb
it with a piece of cotton cloth dipped in
kerosene; afterwards rub with dry
cotton cloth and it will be as bright as
when new.
In making an Irish stew the suet
should be chopped finely and the dough
kneaded as lightly as possible. The
less it is kneaded the lighter the crust
will be.
Refined chalk made into thick
plaster with one third as much glycerine
as water and spread on the parts will
cool Inflammation and reduce redness
of the nose or face.
Fish and other dishes often come
upon the table very greasy. The way
to prevent this is TO place brown or
white paper over them, letting it touch
the greasy surface. Paper absorbs fat.
If those who black their own stoves
will grease them before backing they
will find it prevents them from rusiing.
Add a pinch of brown sugar to backing
just before applying. This causes it to
stick, and it polishes much easier and
with half the rubbing.
I'm frying any thing the fat should
never be allowed to boil. Its proper
heat for frying may be known by OBJ
servatiOn. When it reaches 375' of
heat faint blue smoke rises which tells
that it is ready for use. If, however, it
begins to smoke before the things to be
fried are ready to go in it its tendency
to boil may be checked by throwing in a
raw potato or a piece of bread, which
