Famine in Abyssinia.

Famine is this year not confined to Russia. There is dearth bordering on famine in few districts of Germany and Italy. In the East Indies and some parts of North Africa famine is severe and widespread. And now report is received from an Italian, Dr. Leo Ira versi, upon terrible desolation wrought by famine in Shoa, the territory of King Menelek Il in Abyssinia. Prices are very high, chicken, for instance, being as high in price as calf is in normal times. The military expeditions in which King Menelek is engaged all the time have for months past all ended in disaster because the men died in crowds from starvation. One host, says Dr. Traversi, left in its line of march "a procession of skeletons" At. one spot near the Italian settlement the doctor, without changing his position, counted fourteen skeletons. The population of the kingdom has this year been reduced by an incredible number. er.-Exchange.

Poor Taste of Two Englishmen.

It is common thing to see the Eng hshman say or write things which no American would utter or put on record. Lord Ronald-Gower, representing one of the noblest of English houses, finds no shame whatever in telling in his pub hshed diary how he used to write squibs in the newspapers, satirizing his hosts of the day before because they let the smell of dinner come into the hall. Mir. R. L.. Stevenson is credited with remark al- most equally graceful to the effect that the reason Thoreau never drank wine was because there was no wine in Amer ica fit to drink.
 When we consider at how many houses in this country this lively writer must have been a guest, and how cordially the hosts must have shared with him the best they had, poor thoEgh it might be, the remark may fairly enough be classed with that of Lord Runald-Go An American cowboy on the plains would have considered it piece of boorishness to make either remark; yet it is proba- ble that no argument or persuasion could convince either of these distin- guished foreigners tn at he had fallen be- low the highest standard of good man. ners.-Colonel Higa inson in Harpsr's Bazaar.

A City of Pigmies.

In a quaint old geography which l once had the good fortune to own, the western coast of South America was decorated with tiny figures of men and women, among whom meandered the words, "The Land of the Pigmies. " More modern maps make no mention of such people, and had forgotten that ever believed in their existence, when 1 happened lately to come upon them again.
 A few months ago, perched on the summit of one of the highest of the Peruvian Andes, were discovered the ruins of wonderful pigmy city, the home of race of dwarfs, and some of its most interesting relics-aQ that were transportable-are now on their way northward, to find resting place in our national museum at the Smithsonian institution in Washington.
 From these discoveries it appears that the old belief in tiny race inhabiting the lowlands on the Pacific coast was we'll founded. There the little people lived unmolested, so far as we know, for an indefinite time, till they were at last driven back upon the mountains by larger and stronger race. Then they built and occupied the deserted city which today excites our wonder Youths Companion.
