DESTRUCTION by flood is reported
from Canton, China. 1t was the
most serious which has visited the
place for thirty years. AS many as
10000 persons lost their lives, while
many more are left in starving
ndition. The rice and silk crops
re- almost ruined. Among other
information sent the press is the fol-
lowing.
The body of bride dressed in
her bridal robes was found floating
in the river at Canton. A large tub
was also seen. 1t was picked up and
found to contain boy and a girl.
With them was paper stating their
names, the day and hour of their
birth. Their parent had instituted
this means to save the life of their
offspring. The writer Of the letter
from which the above is taken, says:
The suffering that is being endur-
ed by thousands in this province is
simply heartrendcring. Children
are calling to their parents that they
are hungry, and the broken-heartcd
parents can only reply, with eyes
blinded with tears, that they have
nothing to give them. These floods
will bring on other calamaties.
The subsiding will leave an alluvial
deposit that will burden the atmos-
phcrc with malarial poison. The
people are obliged to use the filth
lest and dirtiest water, which must
give them all sorts of diseases. The
non-progressive character of the
people leaves them helpless and un-
done in the face of calamity, and all
they en- do is to heat gongs, burn
incense, howl to the Heavens that
are as brass, pray to one idol to GO
and cause another to stop his rain.

The September number of Demo
RESTS ILLUSTRATED MONTHLY MAGAZINE
is decidedly one Of the best we have had.
The story, "Bryanstone and Wife" by
Philip Bourke Marston, is n capital one,
and "Orders of Knighthood," an illustra-
ted article, "A Happy Island, " the story
of Lugwig Spohr." "a Maid of Honor
of the Last Century" and "An Old
Italian City," are well worth reading.
The various departments are carefully
filled, and contain much that is useful in
the household. The frontispiece is a fine

BUSINESS is Improving. The bot
tom has been reached in low prices
and dull times, and, if we are not
mistaken, the rebound has come.
Dull times are at an end; business
must be better. Mills and factories

have been standing idle many
months. Men and women who
have been watching for turn from
a season Of idleness to one of activ-
ity, and we predict that ere the

destitute, will be filled with plenty
and many brave hearts made glad
by the return to prosperous days.
