A BENEFICENT FAMINE.
Improvements to Result from the Di
tress in India

Improvements to Result from the Dis
tress IN India
The famine in North India which is
assuming more and more serious pro-
portions, while ii will occasion much
suffering. is likely also TO result In
good. For long time the govern
ment has been projecting series of
railways in the northwest provinces,
Oudh and the Punjab, but has been
held back Dy the lack of funds. The
need was not so pressing as TO justify
the expense. Now, however, that some
thing must be done to furnish relief to
the starving, the viceroy announces
that instead of charity the government
will give employment and push these
works. The result will be not merely
wiser and more effective relief for the
Immediate want, but provision
against such disasters in the future,
Says the New York Independent.
The most prominent cause Of famine
in Asia is the absence of means of com
mnnication, making it impossible TO
supply the deficiency of one region
from the surplus in another. Much
good has been done by the railroads al
ready built and these new ones will be
q public boon even overbalancing the
present distress.

population as soon as the first bomb

Magazine. To crush the plot was simply
to seize a handful of men; to let them

characteristic of Turkish statecraft

To call this the suppression of "a ris-

bis clerks. The actual killing of Ar

QUEER MOUNDS.

Two In the shape of Animals Found In
Wisconsin,.
An interesting discovery of two
mounds in the form of animals has been
made in Wisconsin. about two miles
from Ninona, Mimi. They are on the
eide Of bluff. One is thought to have
been intended for deer. Both are
about 2R feet above the surrounding
ground, and their outlines are very
plain. The dimensions of the deer
mound are: Tail. % feet; body 81 feet
long. 10 feet wide; neck, - fSet
long: antlers. 10 feet long. and ahont
s feet spread: head. 10 feet from
end of nose to autlers, feet Z
inches from neck to foreleg. is feet
long; hind leg. 10 feet 0 inches lorg
and feet 10 inches wide where the
body is joined. The neck OF the animal
extends exactly east and west. the head
being al the east end. The antlers and
nose extend in line directly north AMI
south. the nose pointing south.
Some so feet south of the first mound
is another, which takes the form of a
'"'' hV 'di 10 'tiN IohE. tN'tiliihS
considerably over 100 feet. The body is
about "a feet long.
No piOw has ever married either of
these mounds. and so distinct are they
that il seems curious they have never
been noticed before TO he animal

Both mounds are but short distance
from plateau upon which are num-
Der Of round mounds. which have never
been previously investigated.

Nepotism Charged

1t has been charged during the last
week that some of the city officials
have been violating a rule adopted by
the council prohibiting the employment
of more than one member of family in
any department of the municipal gov
ernment. This is a mistake. for no Of
ficial is violating the rule, for no such
regulation exists. Some months ago,
when there was so much talk about
the unemployed, hard times and re-
trenchment Councilman Hutchison Of
the Eighth ward introduced such a reso-
luton, but, like many others introduced
from time to time by that gentleman
1t failed for want of second. Such be-
ing the case, there is no restriction in
the matter and an official can employ
all Of his cousins and his uncles and
his aunts, provided he has places enough
for them and the requisite amount OF as
surance to put them in. This matter lies
wholly within the discretion of the head
Of the department employing the peo-
pie, and no one has right to interfere
1t is claimed that this prerogative is be-
ing exercised, hence the vigorous pro-
tests from those on the outside who
think they should be provided for.
