Where Famines Occur.

II is great help to the study of fam
ines to observe that they occur almost
invariably in thinly-settled countries, or
in countries where tho whole people are
employed in producing food. Ireland
and India belong to the latter class;
Sweden, Persia and Asia Minor to the
former. Seven years ago both Asia
Minor and Northern Sweden were en-
during the horrors of famine. Both
are thinly-settled countries, the former
having less than third of the popula-
ton it supported in Roman times. In
1874 children were sold by their parents
into perpetual slavery, partly to save
them from a slow and painful death,
and partly to secure a scanty supply Of
food for the remaining members of the
household. Whole villages were. de-
populated, and regions abandoned to
the wilderness. Swedish Delecarlia
was nearly as i'll of, the difference be-
ing due to better government aud large
assistance from tho neighboring coun-
tries and provinces. At this moment
both countries are again facing the
same terrible experience, and crying
for bread TO the rest of the world. On
Maltbusian principles. they should be
enjoying an exceptional prosperity;
but the experience Of mankind, some,
how, will continually insist on showing
weaknesses in Nautilus. The Aneri.

A Young Gorilla.

An animal-dealer in Liverpool, Mr..
Cross, has been made happy by the ar
rival ola young gorilla from Africa.
He feeds on Valencia raisins-e eating a
pound daily-eggs and similar light
food. His appetite is voracious, and he
amuses himself by playing with cat.
During the voyage from Africa to the
Mersey, the gorilla, availing itself OF
the liberty which had been incautiously
given to it, made an attack upon seve-
raj of the crew. 1t ran amuck, in fact,
at the captain, biting him savagely in
the leg, and two men who came forward
to his assistance we're also attacked,
and to some extent injured.
BY dint of some well-applied chastise-
ment, however, the gorilla was Undue
ed to confine his ebulitions of temper
to mere displays of his teeth, and later
it was found possible TO treat him with
out severity--a change of tactics which
he repaid by becoming quite tame, and
allowing himself to be handled with
tolerable impunity.
The animal is not, as might be i'm
piled from the foreclosures which il
at first displayed, fully-grown speci-
men, but,its physique and appearance.
as well as its height of fully four feet,
give it what might be called rank even
among tho finest of African gorillas.

How to Deal nth Rats.

A writer in the Scientific american
says: I'VE clean our premises OF these
detestable vermin by making white
wash yellow with copperas, and cover.
lug the stones and rafters in the cellar
with it. In every crevice in which
rat may 90, we put the crystals of the
copperas and scatter in the corners of
the floor. The result was a perfect
stampede OF rats and mice, Since that
time not football OF either rat or
mice has been around the house. Ev-
cry Spring a coat of the yellow wash is
given the cellar as purifier, as rat
extermiuator and no typhoid, dysentery
or fever attacks the family. Many per-
sons deliberately attract all the rats IN
the ncighborhood by leaving fruits and
vegetables uncovered in the cellar, and
sometimes even the soap is left open
for their regalement. Cover up every
thing eatable in the cellar and pantry,
and you will soon starve them out.
These precautions, joined to the service
of q good cat, will prove as good rat
exterminalor as the chemist can pro-
vide. We never allow rats TO be poi
soned in our dwelling; they are so apt
10 be between the walls and produce
much annoyance.
