The Fear of Famine in India.

Famine costs the Indian Government So, -
900 every ten years, it is estimated, and
the suffering of the people dnring the continu-
ance of such visitation is terrible. Drought
in Deccan and floods in Bengal have com
bined to destroy the crops of the present sea-
son, and the cable brings intelligence from
Calcutta that there is CONSERVATION at the
prospect of the famine now impending. The
Famine Commissioners of 1879 declared that
it would be necessary to build 5000 miles of
railway in India to prevent the recurrence of
famine. but as the British Government
agreed to a loan of SAC, 900, 900 for the pur
pose only year ago, it is probably that dila-
tory action upon the report of the Famine
Commission will result disastrously to the
vast population of India. However, $685.
600, 900. exclusive of about $3.50, 10000 in
terest, has been expended in the construction
of railways in India, and the present mile
age is about l 900 miles, the transportation
of food will be much less difficult than dur
ing previous famnes. although complete pro-
lection from famine requires an extension of
the railway system !, 900 miles. The slow
ness of John Bull often results in much in
convenience to others as well as to himself

Childrcn'S Pocket Money.

Teach children the proper use of money
Begin with a small allowance of pocket
money which thew shall feel is their own
and let an account of its expenditure be made
to you. Carefully guard against any ridicule
if there have been foolish purchases, for
that will soon beget distrust then follows de-
ceit and very soon you will never know what
has become of the money. Kindly advise,
so that if your boy is tempted to spend his
money in way he knows is wrong. he will
come to you and tell of it. Until you feel
positively compelled to do it, do not withdraw
your allowance. 1t may be that you will find
no other way to stop career of wasteful
and sinful extravaganza. but let all effort be
made in other WAYS first. Teach your boys
to earn a little for themselves. Many little
ways will suggest themselves. 1t is so much
more helpful to them, as well as an enjoyable
pride. that it's always well to encourage all
such endeavor We know mother who
prizes, above all her other possessions, a pair
of gold sleeve buttons purchased with the first
money her boy ever earned, and though he is
now in business for himself, we fancy he
never invested anv money more cheerfully
than that Exchange.

Relics of Robinson CrusOe.

In the age of such inonoclastc Tenderness
as the present, when all old beliefs are being
laughed at, and there is ''irrevereuce for the
dreams of youth it is gratifying to find
people in which there still fingers that sim
pie faith which the poet tells us is better
than Norman blood Such people exist in
the little village of Largo in Fifeshire. Hav-
ing been told that Robinson Crusoe was born
there, they are now showing TO the stranger
not only his cottage, but the identical gun
and sea chest which he had with him on the
desolate island. 1t may be said that this is
another way of carrying out the Scottish par
ent's advice to his son to make money, hon.
estly il possible, but TO make it ; but no right
minded reader of Defoes immortal work will
CRU ige sixpence to see these relics of
Crusoe. In an Irish town, some six years
ago, shilling used to be charged to see the
two skulls of Oliver Cromwell, one being his
skull las the exhibitor explained) "when a
Child Robinson Crusne's sea chest can
not be less interesting, and it is cheaper to
look at.

Fun at Princeton.

The hszers at Princeton did not have their
own way, if we may judge by the following
story of son of Congressman Hewitt, told in
the n. Y. Tribune:
Like his father he has grim sense of humor
and he gave play to this when half dozen
sophomores made an evening call on him.
Young Hewitt politely responded to the de-
mand to ''open up" and the men of 'SS hav-
ing got safely into his room, looked around
for amusement. One of them called on
young Hewitt to sing. II cannot sing" he
replied, gravey, but am a musician in
my way, and | can perhaps accommodate you
with some instrumental music"
what instrument do you play p
''The French horn"
"All right. trot it out
The young man produced the instrument,
and preparatory to PLAYING, he calmly opened
the window, and straightway from the instru-
ment there proceeded terrific, heart-rending,
braying notes, which penetrated the whole
campus and made night hideous. There was
at once stampede from the room. Not a
sophomore doubted that the proctor was on
his way to that room. But no, the proctor,
hearing the tumultuous braZen discOrd. and
surmising the cause, had carefully posted
himself at the main exit to the hall, and there
he intercepted the halt dozen sophomores and
led them off in triumph. They made up a
| goodv portion of the number of sophomores
who duly appeared before the faculty.

Dog and Snake.

The ablest snake story of the season comes
from Henderson, Houston county, ga. Ii
was a race between feet-footed dog and a
black snake. The dog cahsed the snake
three-quarters of mile down lane. ITS
a long lane that never turns" and the snake
appeared in good spirits. just at the end OF
the lane the snake made sudden turn and
found its hole under the bottom rail. The
snake went down the hole head first, when
the dog seized it by the tail. The snake was
prepared for the emergency and gave up its
outside covering or skin, which peeled off as
easily as the skin of roasted potato. 1t is
Supposed that the snake suffered no inconve-
nience from the loss of its outside covering,
as the shedding season had arrived.
