Changing Lights Upon . Horrible Picture
| LONDON, October N.-The st. Petersburg
correspondent of the Standard says the ap
proach of frost has caused renewal Of thl
cries of distress. The Novosto estimates that
10000, 600 of people are without food. Sta
tistics prove concluslvely that IN many
places spectators get extortionate prices.
Corn merchants and village koolaks, or
usurers, are charged with the responsibility
for the extortion. A Samsra paper declares
that the jews are angels compared with the
koOlaks, who are in the habit of reducing
those in their power to the lowest stage Of
poverty.
Incidents showing the terrible distress of
the people continue to b recorded. A Door
woman of Ratchino, on returning home from
neiHhborinR village whittier she had gone
to try to purchase food. found all her chill

which the Chilian government cannot be
held accountable, but ae an insult 70 the

ing for vigorous diplomatic treatment.
The official report made by Captain Schley
shows not only that the assault upon the
American sailors was cowardly and unpfo.
voked. but that it was inspired purely By
hatred for the uniform they wore and the
country it represented, or, in other words,
that it was not an attack ON them a. individ-
GALS. but as representatives of the Uniteo
States The report also indicates that the
local police, instead OF protecting the Amer
leans from the violence Of the mob, in eev-
eral instances assisted in the on.isnenk
This, the report says, is demonstrated by the
fact that several sailors were wounded ~
bayonets such - are usually carried By The
ChiGan polIce.
The fact that the only persons arrested
were thirty-five American sailors who hed
escaped injury at the hands OF the mob.
strengthens tho view that the assault was IN

Will take the forces up at one ocean and put

Attention has been specially directed. not
only to improvement in the weather fore

pany the general synopsis of tho weather

Wafer in the Bible.

The question of water goes back much
further han We stop to think. For eX-
ample, we are told in the book Of Joshua
that when Caleb's daughter Achsah
was given to General Othneil in con
sideration of his capture of the city of
Debir, and the matter of her dowry was
being discussed, she said to her father:
Thou hast given me a south land; give
me also springs of water" She under
stood that the tract sloping southwark
toward the deserts of Arabia vas moun-
famous, swept by hot winds and deficient
IN rain supply. So she wanted besides a
piece of land we'll watered and fertile,
that it might be profitably cultivated.
Caleb was SO we'll pleased with the vic
tory won for him by Othneil hat he
could deny the bride nothing. And he
gave her" the record adds, the upper
springs and the neither springs'-more
than she had asked, as fathers are apt to
do with daughters whom they rear and
love, only to lose when the inevitable

SpurgeOn SAYS Hats Off.

Mr.. Spurgeon has always been perfect
1y appalling in hiH readiness to deal with
insolence in tho house Of God. The
finest case on record is, perhaps, one in
which three young fellows came i'll and
settled themselves c~onspicuously in the
gallery with their hats on. In vain the
officials requested them to uncover.
OF ourse Mr.. Surgeons eye was soon
upon them, and leading his discourse
around to the respect which all Chris
tians are bound to show for the feelings
of others, My friends," he said, 1.-The
other day | wc1t into a Jewish syna-
gogue, and I l~zturally uncovered my
head; but on locking around l perceived
hat all the rest wore their hats, and SO,
not wishing to offend against what l sup
posed to be their reverent practice,
though contrary to my own, | cOnfOrned
to Jewish use and put on my hat. | will
now ask those those three young Jews
up in the gallery to show the same defer
ence to our Christian practice in the
house Of God as | was prepared to show
them when l visited their synagogue,
and take off their hats"
