LITERARY NOTES.

"How the Bible Came Down to Us, 4"
is the title of an article by DR.. Clifton
H. Levy in the December number Of
the American Monthly Review of Re-
views DR.. Levy traces the history of
the various versions of the Scriptures,
presenting Photographic reproductions
of portions of the most celebrated man
uscripts and printed texts. In view of
the recent revival of interests in biblical
discovery and textual criticism, this at
tempt to give a popular exposition of
the subject will doubtless be warmly
welcomed.
The comet. (Johnson City, Tenn.) 1884-1916, 1897-12-02

The complete novel in the December
issue of Lippincott's "Poor Chola, by
Julia Dabney. The scene is an un-
familiar Tineriffe, in the Canary
Islands; the story is full of local color,
interest and pathos; the plot is far from
commonplace.
"The Consolation of Gamaliel," by
Marion Manville Pope, is the quaint
tale of Missouri farmer whose hui
manity extended even to bugs. Joseph
Altsheler, in ''The Red Light" deals
with a supposed episode of the war of
1919. The "Dr. Felix" of whom Francis
Lynde writes rose from obscurity to
local fame and fortune by prescribing
for cats and dogs, not knowing that his
patients were not human.
The poetry of the number is by Mar
tina 7. Tyler. Emma G. Dowd, Calvin
Dill Wilson and Madison Cawein.

HOW TO FIND OUT.

Fill bottle or common water glass
with urine and let 1t stand twenty four
hours; sediment or settling indicates
a diseased condition of the kidneys.
When urine stains linen it is positive
evidence of kidney trouble. Too fire.
quent desire to urinate or pain In the
back, is also convincing proof that the
kidneys and bladder are out of order.
WHAT TO DO.
Terhe 10 comfort in the knowledge
so often expressed, that DIR. Kilmer's
Swamp. Root, the great kidney RENE
dy, fulfills every wish in relieving pain
in the back, kidneys, liver, bladder and
every part of the urinary passages. II
corrects inability to hold urine and
scalding pain in passing it, or bad ef
fects following use of liquor, wine or
beer, and overcomes that unpleasant
necessity of being compelled to get up
many times during the night to urin-
ate. The mild and the extraordinary
effect Of Swamp Root is soon realized.
1t stands the highest for its most won
derful cures of the most distressing
cases. If you need medicine you
should have the best. Sold by drug
gists, price 80 cents ard one dollar.

DYING FROM HUNGER,
Horrible Suffering In Famine,
F., stricken India.
no FOOD STUFF NEAR KAIPUR,
Many People Have Perished and Others
Are Near Death-The Rice Crop Com
piete Failuro--Awfui sights witnessed
by . Correspondent,
TCopyriphted.1

KAIPUR, Feb. 3,-The special CORE.
vpondent of The Associated Press is in
quiring into the famine ravaging in
this, the largest district of the central
province, having population Of 1.500.-
900, finds the situation very grave.
This is the center of the ricegrowing
industry, which is the only crop grown,
and, as it has failed, there is total ex.
tinction Of food stuff in this locality,
and real famine exists. About 1900
villages are affected. The relief work
have given employment and the means
of subsistence to $4,000 persons.
The worst part of the district is
Dharmapara, 30 miles from here, where
lamentable conditions prevail. Many
people have already died of hunger and
many others are dying. The staff EN-.
ployed in the work of relieving the
sufferers is inadequate to cope with the
enormous area. If the work of relief
had been properly arranged earlier the
mortality would have been less, as the
rains are increasing the spread of dis
ease. 1t will take three good years to
recoup the losses in this district,
The poorhouses are q fair criterion of
the condition of the people. Beside
the professional beggars they are
crowded with laborers reduced to the
last stage of skeletons. Their bodies
are emaciated and the skin is hanging
In large folds. Otehrs have swollen
stomachs, the sign of acute privation.
1t is found that the cattlemen and ryots
or field workers, usually lusty men, are
unable to do anything and the women
are in the same condition.
One woman, who was lately confined,
has been attacked with rheumatism,
caused by exposure, and is paralyzed.
Her baby is horrible to look at. Its
limbs are about the size of pipe stems
and its sunken eyes have a most piteous
look. No provision has been made for
these cases. The minimum dole of
food is only enough to keep body and
soul together, it does not suffice to build
up the system again. This is where the
private charity is wanted.
1t is useless to attempt to send the
natives to the hospitals. They prefer
to die.
Some horrible sights were witnessed.
A man with both legs eaten away, was
a mass of white scabs, and others were
nearly as bad. The condition in this
district is the worst yet seen. There is
urgent need Of funds here. The CORE.
spondent hears that in the Jubbulpore
district conditions are even worse than
here.
If seed is not sown the people will be
utterly incapable of procuring food. and
the conditions next year will be too aw.
full to contemplate.
The food supply in this district is
scanty and will soon be exhausted.

AMERICAN SUGAR PLANTERS.
The State Department Trying to Reliev,

The state Department Trying to Relieve
Them of WeyIer's Restrictions.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 2.-The state de-
partment is endeavoring to relieve the
American sugar planters in Cuba from
the embarrassing position in which they
are situated as result of the attitude
of the Spanish authorities toward those
who attempt to grind cane. Probably
with the intention of forcing all of the
plantation hands into the town and so
preventing them from giving aid and
encouragement to the insurgents the
Spanish officials have surrounded the
grinding of cane with so many and
veXatious restrictions as to make it
practically impossible to make sugar in
large portion of the island.
So far the efforts of the department
have succeeded in obtaining q removal
of restrictions only upon the grinding
of burnt cane, which is of some value,
while not of course equal to ripened
cane, but the efforts are being contin-
ned, and, it is hoped, will result soon in
an abatement of all the onerous restric-
hons complained of by the planters.
