midas FAMINE.

The Queensland Weekly News says
of the famine in India: In the cable
messages which appear in another
column, we find that two million OF
working men are being employed on
railways in India at a cost Of two hun
dred thousand rupees a day, being an
average of the one tenth of a rupee, OF
rather under 21ad. per man per day.
As wages even on relief works are
ordinarily reckoned so as TO be suffi-
cient to sustain life in the worker and
his family, il thus appears that every
thirty shillings or so contributed to the
Indian famine fund, will be sufficient to
save a family from death during the
six months or thereabout, in which the
brunt of an Indian famine has to be
borne. All this goes 10 show that our
efforts, ii We come to the rescue. will
not be merely a drop thrown into the
ocean, but may be substantial and
Valua bic help in saving our fellow sub
jects in India from destruction.
1t is of course a deplorable position
for any country to be subject to such
periodical visitations of the failure of
food. This has been the trial of India
from time immemorial and it is the
gravest evil incidental TO the Govern
ment of the country. But never in the
history of all the dynasties that have
rule over India, has there been so
wise and far-reaching and successful
provision made to protect the inhabit
ants from famine as has been made by
British ruler in India. Fully eighty
per cent. of the population being en-
gagged in agriculture, the failure of the
rains comes with a desolating effect,
and before irrigation works on colos-
sal scale, had been constructed for the
and distribution OF water,
and a network of railways had been
spread over the country TO facilitate
the distribution Of food from foreign
a famine was ordinarily at
tended by enormous loss of life. Ever
since the country came under British
rule, these visitations have not been
free from the loss of life by starvation,
but this loss has been steadily dimin-
iShing with every recurrence, and the
Indian Government has now taken its
stand on the declaration, that come
what may, and cost what it will, NO
man, woman, or child shall die of starv-
alton" 1t is probably the last famine
III lnuld IN Wnlcn Sucn FISK VIII exist,
and it is to provide against this con-
ringency that the Indian Government
has felt forced to make this appeal.
The cause as we see has been taken up
nobly in England, it is being responded
to in Australia, and though no move
ment in this direction has yet been
made in New Zealand. we feel confident

WAS COLUMBUS a HEBREW?

1t is ne, generally known that ac-
cording 10 some authorities. Columbus
was a Spanish Hebrew. Columbus or
Colon. as he was rightly known, was
the name of a distinguished family of
Hebrew scholars. 1t is said that
Christopher's father. Diego. originally
bore the Hebrew name of Jacob. While
on the subject il may not be amiss to
say that the Hebrews figure promi
nently in the discovery. The plans for
Columbus expedition were largely the
work of two Hebrew astronomers. The
Hebrews were also employed as inter
prefers by Columbus. and one of them
Luz de Torres. was the first European
to set foot in the New World. When
Columbus sighted the island of San
he imagined that he was
approaching a portion of the East
Asiatic coast. and he sent Torres, who

the natives.

Transfer Of Tires.

When the back tire has punctured
pretty often. and II is the back tire that
freely INDUCES in these little tricks,
it is an excellent thing,on bicycles with
equal sized wheels. to have the -ires
changed from one wheel to the other.
This will frequently cause the back tire
to last twice as long without renewal,
since there is SO much less strain and
wear en- the front wheel. A little pre-
caution Of this kind is quite well worth
taking, if one does not want to be let in
for continual expense. The tube grows
thin and weak with heavy use and
constant punctures, and it is quite
worth while to try and prolong its ex-
istence.

Anything Noble from Nature.

to think we must pin our faith on the
country people who live near to Ma
lures heart" writes Mrs. Lyman Abb
bott il the October Ladies' Home Jour
nal, the first of series Of Peaceful
Valley" papers which picture life in an
ideal rural community. But how
many of them" she says. seem to
have learned anything noble from her?
Her beauty does not refine them. her
honesty does not incite them to thor
oughness, her free-handedness does not
inspire them to generosity--they be-
come narrow and sordid in the midst
of grandeur and liberality. They i'm
agine there can be nothing in life but
work or play, toll or rest, and they feel
a contempt for those who play and rest.
They have never learned to mingle
work and play, toll and rest in due
proportion, and they cease to find any
pleasure in life unless they abandon
work altogether. Like the tired wom-
an who wrote her own epieaph, they
fancy heaven place where they can
do nothing forever and ever. This
view of life makes loafers in the viii
lagc as ii makes them in the cities.
When different spirit has found room
to grow, new order Of living prevails.
Life becomes something more than a
slow grinding of the mill, more than
n burden. to be endured only because
a luxury as well as a necessity. Indi-
viduals combine, not for their own adj
vantage, but to multiply benefactions,
and as strength increases, by its right
use. the attainment of one worthy and
ambitious advantage is only the slg-
gestion and achievement of another"
