NEGLECTING THE HINDOO.
DeplOrable Condition of India's Suf-
fering Thousands.

In India a famine RACES and the re-
port of it creates not so much as a ripple
of excitement. There is no doubt that
it is dire calamity. There is no ques-
ton that the southern stars CLEAN like
wolves eyes upon vast stretches of ter
ritory where hunger has weakened the
inhabitants and the very landscape,
and made all look haggard and worn.
In that faraway country there are many
who, at this time, are dying for want of
bread, and whose gaunt fingers would
serve, specter-like enough, to terrify
any banquet gathering. There are
thousands who walk the earth wonder
ing in their distress and dire agony if
there really is an overruling Providence
and whether, of all the widely cared for,
they are overlooked and forgottetn.
They probably know that the whole
earth is not smitten with drought
and shortage, but they live to realize
that that which on earth is abundant is
not necessarily free, and that, although
there may be sufficient for all, some
may still hunger and be left to die.
1t does not seem plausible, but there
is vast disproportion in the quality OF
sympathy extended to forms of suffer-
ing generally. If thousands were
butchered by the order of a living
Turk, as in Armenia, there would be
great hubbub and to-do, even though
There were not much aims distributed
for visible "serene highness" would
be clearly at fault; but let nature go
awry in her benefcence and withhold
GOODNESS and rain so that thousands are
brought to suffering, and nothing is
said
1t is not that the agony superinduced
by destructive season is any less than
that brought about by destructive
Turk, but only that the latter is where
earthly vengeance may still be wreaked
upon him, while nature is over all and
smiles unchangingly at mans 6irest
need. With her there is no great and
no small, while with the sultan there
are both, and some who may do him in
jury. The very thought that sum-
mary justice may be measured out, to
an offending monarch-that he may
be dragged down from his throne and
made lowly and miserable-is enough
to excite interest in an nauthority-loving
worldling. Let it appear, however, that
unconquerable nature is TO be hopeless
ly buffeted and behold! its victims are
not worried over, if they be not near.
They may be as miserable as the down
trodden Armenians, and their death
(as from famine) may be more linger-
ing and more sure, but supposedly they
are at the mercy of God, and therefore
what of it? The others are under the
sultan, a very much more evident in
fuence, and therefore all interest is in
Turkey. The Hindoo may perish for
lack of visible earthly oppressor.-

SOLDIERS TO GUARD BUFFALO.
Latest Plan to Protect Remnant of
COIOrado's Last Herd.

The secretary of the interior at Wash
ington has under consideration project
which will hereafter furnish some of
the Fort Logan cavalrymen with a
novel variety of active duty in the sum
mer and fall seasons. 1t is that detail
of regular army troopers be told OFT to
guard the herd of buffalo which exist in
Lost park, Col. There are still about 40
of these rare beasts alive, but if some
immediate precaution is not taken to
protect them against the depredations
of pot-hunters they will speedily be
eXterminated. Late last fall one buff
falo was found dying at a remote dis
tance from it's fellows, having been
wounded a number of times by rifle
bullets. 1t was put out of pain by a
deputy game warden, and It's stuffed
frame is now among the collection of
rarities in the rooms of the state his
torical society.
The incident led to the discovery that
several others of the herd had been
killed during the preceding summer.
No trace of the marauders who did the
killing could be discovered nor could
any effective means be devised by the
state game warden to guard against
them in future. \ good deal of indig-
nation was aroused thereat among
sportsmen and others who are interest
ed in preserving Colorado's rapidly
dwindlin~ buffalo. AS a result the
scheme to use cavalrymen was concoct-
ed, and James A. Miller, clerk of the
supreme court, was delegated to com
municate with Congressman Shafroth
on the subject.
This action was lately taken by Mr..
Miller, and he has received from Con-
> gresham Shafroth reply to his letter,
inclosing a statement from the United
States adjutant generals Office to the
effect that the military buffalo warden
proposal was under consideration by
the United States department of the
interior.-Denver Republican.

A CHEERING coMPANIOw.
The Attachment of Prisoner to His
Watch

The Attachment of IA Prisoner to His
Watch.
What small thing will keep man
from insanity when in solitary confne-
ment," said prison warden recently.
81 read the case of a prisoner who some
how in solitary confinement had man
aged to keep his silver watch secTeted
on his person. For a time he kept up
very well, and, as his crime was terri
him, but one day be became violent and
crazy and we finally decided to remove
him to the hospital. In his cell we
found the watch, with the handspring
broken.
"It seems that as long as the watch
continued to tick in his ear at night
he felt as if he had companion and the
dark cell did not seem so solitary. He
caressed the watch fondly, talked to it
and it talked to him. Hour after hour
he spoke and he was enabled to endure
the terrible loneliness with this cheer
ing and gossipy companion. He told me
afterward that he put words to that
ticking and that the watch seemed al
most like thing of life.
"But one night something snapped
and its voice ceased. He wound it up
anxiously and still it was silent. It
was like the death of something be-
loved, the passing away of the dearest
thing on earth. Before it had been an
imated and full of life, with tongue
that wagged and wagged. Now it was a
bit of dead, lifeless metal. The long
hours Of the night weighed upon him.
He seemed to see strange visions. His
loneliness was frightful. And then
the next morning they found him raw
ing and crazy."-Detroit Free Press.

suBrERRANEAN GALLERIES.
One-Third of Paris Built Over Long
UNDERGROUND Ways.

One-Thtrd of Paris Built Over Long
| Underground Ways.
That recent concert in the catacombs
| has drawn attention to the fact that
third at least of the city of Paris
is built over long labyrinthian gal
! leries, deep under the earth's surface,
and called "The Quarries," says Paris
correspondent. Parisians are periodic
ally frightened when they hear this,
and begin to look forward to the sud-
den collapse of their high houses. M.
Vickersheimer, however, who is in
spector of catacombs and quarries,
| hastens to assure the timid that there
is no fear of any subsistence of the soil
of subterranean Paris. The galleries
are well propped up and are continual
F! ly under the supervision OF vigilant per-
sons, chiefly policemen, who on their
off-duty days are paid five francs for
inspection walks through the shafts,
which extend under ground in nearly
every direction. Any signs of decay or
damage on the vaultings or pillars are
promptly reported to the proper au-
thorities, who instantly bring their re-
pairing machinery into play. Accord
ing to classification, the first group Of
galleries begins under the Arc dc Tri-
omphe, extending in the direction of
| Passy and Auteuil. The second division
runs under the Vaugirard districts, and
, includes the catacombs, which are so
called because the bones from old ceme-
teres were placed there in 177776. The
third branch of subterranean arteries
is situated under the boulevard of the
hospital and extends to the fortifca-
tons, and the fourth runs from the
Bastile toward Nincennes wood. The
fifth and last group, that OF the north,
is the most important, and is pierced
, under Montmartre, the Buttes Chau-
mont and the cemetery of Pere-la-
Chaise and extends out TO Noisy-le-Sec.
1t is supported by thousands of pillars,
and it's network of crossings is the most
complicated in underground Paris. All
these galleries are stated to be in
good state of repair, but especial care
and supervision have to be exercised
in the third group. several landslips
having occurred recently at 1ssy and
Clamart. A new map or chart of the
subterranean galleries is in course of
preparation, the prefect of the Seine
having observed that the existing plans
are rather defective in their topograph-
ical details.-London Telegraph.
