means life to these people, and a lack
of it, starvation. And this parched
desert of yellow brown mud is the
home of three hundred million hu-
man beings. 1t is the only world
they ever see. 1t is strewn with their
dry bones, and you may traverse
hundred miles Of II at a stretch with
out seeing food enough to keep
child alive for day. But you can
not go hundred miles away from
the railways without seeing skeletons
enough to have furnished many a
meal for the jackalls and birds and
wild dogs. There they lie, under the
dry bushes, OH the shady side Of
rocks, crouched against the trunks of
the mango trees, just where they sat
themselves down to die. The wild
beasts have pulled their bones about
little, but otherwise they rest as
they died, glistening and cracking in
the sun; and no one knows who they
wore, and the record of their death
will never appear in any mortal blue
book. Starvation kills Indians very
slowly; the present famine had been
preceded by years of scarcity" which
would be starvation in white mems
countries, but still life fingered.
Anything that can live off the air
has chance to live in india. The
mango trees flourish all over the
country. They cast a deep island of
shadow ON the mud fiat from which
they arise; and often you will see as
the train goes by, dark figure sit
ting in the shade with back against
the trunk of q tree. They do not
move; they have nothing to induce
them to move; they have eaten all the
food they had long ago, aid there is
no work to be dore. From where
they sit to the horizon rim there is
nothing TO eat.
Mr.. Hawthorne tells simple story
of almost mere Iibie misery Of moth
ers abandoning their babes or snatch
ing from them the last morsel of
food, Of loatbsome diseases bred by
famine, and the heartIess robbery OF
the native overseers. He says that
one dollar will keep an Indian alive
for month, and recommends the
sending of money to the missionaries
rather than senting grain.

is much higher than it WAS year ago
owing to the deficiency in the supply
from other countries which usually
produce Il surplus for export, and
farm products generally are higher

Possibly one half of the nominal in

The farmers, or such OF them as
produce foodstuffs, are in reality more
prosperous because their crops are
unusually good and at the same time
the foreign demand for their produce
is unusually strong. They are getting
higher prices than usual for larger

Of Lydia e Pinl1ham's Vegetable

If your case has progressed so that a

You ought also to use local applica-
ton, or else the corrosive discharge
will set up an inflammation and hard
ening of the parts. Mrs. Pinkham's

out, and that the evidence was suffi-

W. A Anderson, defendants counsel,
argued that the evidence failed to show
that there had been disorderly conduct

was not responsible for what occurred
on the outside.
Judge Candy took the latter view of
the case, and Paladini was discharged.
