Great Famipes of the Fast.
San Francisco Chronicle

san Francisco chronicle,
The statistians record nearly 400 famines
in the history of the world that have been
of considerable importance, but the list is
only relatively correct, those of minor con-
sequence not being mentioned,
In India, owing directly to drought, and
and in China for variety of reasons, these
periods Of scarcity have been epidemic from
time immemorial, and there is no means of
knowing how many have occurred. In
In China, local famines would be of an
nual occurrence except for the foFethought
of the government in supplying rice, while
those that succeed the frequent inundations
of the Yellow River are appalling.
In Palestine, the Canaan of the Israel
ties, the land flowing with milk and honey,
the population existed in state of constant
suffering for want of food, In patriarchal
times all the Hebrews migrated to Egypt
to avoid perishing by pure starvation.
The Phenicians, who had colonized the
south of France and Spain, drew their
supplies from the granaries of Africa, but
all the tribes inhabiting the northern for
ests of Europe, among which may be mum
bered our Anglo-Saxon ancestors, subsist-
ing, as they did in great measure by the
chase, were dccimated by famine at least
oae year in three,
The MOST notable famine in Roman an
mails was in the reign of Titus, seventy nine
years after Christ, when the starving CO.
horts rebelled and pillaged the conveys Of
provisions on the way to Rome to feed the
famished populace. Josephus gives fright
ful details of the famine at Jerusalem dur
ing the siege by this emperor,

During the Dark and Middle Ages the

During the Dark and Middle Ages the
population of Northern Europe, and of
France especially, lived in an atmosphere
of war, famine and pestilence In the year
541 not drop of rain fell in Europe, and
scarcely more in Asia, and the natural re-
suit was three years famine, and during
it the wants of part of the people of Eu-
rope were supplied by the ships of she lit
tie Italian republics, just beginning to
have precarious existence, which brought
grain from Africa
Not long afterward France was so desc
lated by failure of the crops that the pub
lie treasury was exhausted to feed the peo-
pie, and King Clovis was obliged to strip
the silver from the ropal tombs in the ca
thedral of st. Denis. There were two re-
markable famines during the reign of Char
lemagne in the eighth century, and several
in the ensuing century so severe that the
4amished peasants made bread of earth.
During the two or three succeeding centu-
ries they recurred with distressing regular
ity, having as their principal eansss wars
among feudal lords and the crusldes.
Whole regions were depopulated, the
misery being increased by the ravages of
the plague. Cannibalism was of daily oc-
eurrence. Parents fed upon their children,
and children devoured their parents. Rats,
mice, reptiles and every imaginable abomi-
nation served to give variety to these foul
beasts. In the eleventh century there
were forty-eight years of famine out of
sixty-three, There were thirty three years
of famine in the twelfth century caused by
wars among the nobility
Paris often suffered from famine during
long sieges, in one of which one-third of
its population perished This was in 1438
During the siege of the city by Henry ~,
$50 persons were found dead every morn
ing in the streets. Sieges of cities during
the Middle Ages, whether in the Neither
lands, France, ireland or Italy, offer the
same frightful peculiarities.
Famines followed necessarily in France
on the protracted wars of Louis XIV, with
repetition of all the horrors already de-
| tailed. The king eudeavored, having caused
: the miseries of his subjects, to alleviate
, them to the best of his ability by edicts to
3 prevent the boarding of food supplies, and
5 by importing grain at the public expense.
= During the reign of Louis XIV, his sue
eessor, there was continual scarcity OF
! food, and the misery of the people was in
, creased by what was called the Famine
= League, an association of courtiers and Other
5 mobiles to buy up grain and sell it at double
rates After this and a host of other in
t famies it was only natural that the deluge
should come in the shape of the revolution
: to sweep away the feudal iniquities that had
: accumulated until insupportable to long
suffering people.

A Mothers Love.

FROM the Detroit free freSs-
No matter how times may change, and
we by force of circumstances are compelled
to change with them, there is one senti-
ment that stands firm and true through all
the ages, bright point of light amid the
shifting blacknesss of earths sweet trials
mothers love. 1t matters not that baby
hood has long since been left behind, it
means no diminution in the protecting ten
derness in that mother heart that We have
passed the age where physical health is
needed to guide our tottering infant feet,
dry our childish tears and sympathize with
our little sorrows, we do not change to her.
Iife's greater and fuller troubles that roll
like overwhelming billows upon the strug-
Cling man or woman are still to the dear,
faithful heart the worries of her baby boy
or girl The mother never realizes that
the years have changed her little one into
a strong, helpful adult. She knows they
need her, and she it is of all the world
that can comfort as no other comforter,
and counsel as no other adviser. She reads
the heart, the world judges the actions
She feels where Others may condemn. She,
in word, is "Mother,' and what more
can be said? The day will come when
those tired hands are folded, never more
to toll for the child of her heart, when
those loving eyes are closed, never more to
open in glad surprise at the coming of one
most dear, and the world will go on, but
never quite the same to the one who has
laid away in the grave that dear one who
understood the trials, who smoothed the
aching brow, who looked not upon the
little mistakes with the cold, cruel search
light of worldly wisdom, and condemned
unknowing and unthinking, those actions
that she could interpret in far different
manner.
| Does not Che memory of that love stim-
ulate to better deeds and nobler ambitions?
Does not the heart cry out in the lionel "
watches of the night for just one more look
at the face long since passed from cur
sight; and are there not times when even
in the midst of the hurry and heat Of the
day that we sigh for those other times,
perhaps before the world smiled fayorably
upon us, when little economies and grind
ing tolls seemed so hard to bear, but which
now appear but the airy tribes of the imag-
ination, for then, indeed, We were blessed,
though we realized it not-we had our
mother
The tender, binding love of mother and
child is the one that lives. There is no
diminution; selfish and sordid considera-
tions have no place in such an affection,
and, though lovers prove tickle, husbands
change and friends are false, one can always
look to mother for an abiding love, whether
in her living, breathing care and affection
or in the sacred memory of her devotion
in those days before she passed away for
ever.
