The effects Of drought of 11S days

ware valley in 1898, tells how frogs
and mud-minnows managed to survive.
While the mummified remains of ordi.

aquatic insects were scattered in the
parched mud of dried-up pools, the
mud.minnows and the frogs buried
themselves where the ground was still
moist, although the surface above
them was crusted hard, and apparent

placed in water they gradually revived
and seemed none the worse for

October, within q single day the mud.

Curious Storage Of Hay.

An English traveller through Kash-
mir found in practice there a novel
method of putting fodder up for win.
ter use. The country lies in a valley
among the Himalayas. The chief In
dustry Of the people consists in raising
fine wool, and in making this into
fabrics which have carried the name of
the country all over the world. A
curious custom in some places Is that
of hanging quantities of hay up amoag
the branches Of trees. Why 1t was
done was more than | could guess. TIL
my guide informed me that In winter
the snow lies five and six yards in
depth, and that the supplies Of hay,
which nov look only us II they were
meant for c~amelopards, are then easily
reached by the hocks Of sheep which
abound there. Youths Companion.

BEN'S BABY.
The Harrison Mansion at Indianapolis the
Scene of a New Arrival.


INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, Feb. 21.-Gen.
Benjamin Harrison is the father of a
little girl who arrived at the Delaware
street mansion at five o'clock this
morning. DR.. Henry Jameson Off
ciated at the event, and under his care
Mrs. Harrison and the daughter are
progressing finely. Indianapolis society
has been on the qui vive for this M
nouncement for a month past, and al
most daily there have been rumors to
the effect that the child had arrived.
DR.. jameson was called last evening,
and, with Mrs. Barmuth, the same
nurse who attended 'Baby" Me-
Kee, was in attendance until morning.
Mrs. Parker, Mrs. Harrison's sister, was
also present, having come from New
York some weeks ago. The little girl
is a finely formed child, and weighs
eight and three-quarters pounds. Elk
tensive preparations for the arrival
have been going on at the Harrison
home for months past, and the array OF
baby clothes that has been made is suf.
ficient to satisfy the fastidious taste Of
even an e~x-president's daughter.
If there was in the generals mine
any disappointment that it vas not a
boy he gave no indication of it. This
morning was the first Sunday since his
return from the summer %sojourn in the
mountains that Gen. Harrison has no
occupied the family pew in the FRS
Presbyterian church. The announce
ment of the arrival had reached tn,
church, however, and Mrs. Harrison
has been the recipient of a shower o
flowers and little notes of congratula
ton during the day.

THE LOUISIANA FAMINE.
Seventy-Five Thousand Sufferersin
the Thirteen Affected Parishes.
The Terrible Drought OF Last Summer and
Its Rosults-The Great Work of Re-
lief Now Going On-More
Help Needed.

Never in the memory of the Oldest
citizens was there such a drought rs
scourged north Louisiana in the sum
mer Of 1886. From the 18th of April
to the last of September there was not
even one rain sufficient to wet the
earth an inch in depth, and in many
places for months not one drop fell
and, what Is very remarkable, there
was scarcely any dew. In conse-
ouence of all this the light soil
of the hill parishes became dust aud
the crops Of cotton and corn literally
parched. Acres of forest trees died,
and stock of all kinds, in many places,
| starved. In vain did those sturdy
| small farmers flor in the hill section
| of Louisiana the plantations for the
most part are small and the labor is
done by the wne and his boysl
plant and replant, only to see their
corn wither. The result of all this is
an unprecedented famine. Discouraged
and hungry, families have moved to
other parishes (counties) adjacent to
find the change no better, and fire.
quently those who were counted as
thrifty farmers the year before have
had to beg their bread. Many of the
sufferers live from 81 to so mile from
their market towns, and it was quite
awhile before the sad condition OF
things was made known to the public
generally. But so soon as reliable in
formation reached the cities of Louisi'
ana steps were Immediately taken tc
bring about a speedy and a permanent
relief. They recognized practically
the obligation resting upon them and,
with open pocket-books and that char
table disposition so characteristic Of
Louisianians, applied themselves sys
tematically to the task of relieving

A Doctors Philosophy,

Lady Spencer Is said to have once

that a different mode of treatment

1t makes the heart sick to hear these

hills of Louisiana would have filled the

IN SILENCE.

Women are the real heroes of the
world. Thousands on thousands of them
endure the dragging torture of the ills
peculiar to womankind in the silence of
home. They suffer Gil and on-wceks,
months, years. The story Of weakness
and torture is written in the drawn
features, in the sallow skin, in the list
less eyes, in the lines Of care and worry
on the face.
Unborn modesty seals their lips. They
prefer pain to humiliation. Custom has
made them believe the only hope of
relief lies in the exposure of examina-
ton and "local treatment"
Take ten cases of "female weakness"
and in nine of them "local treatment"
is unnecessary, There is nc reason why
modest, sensitive women should SUBJ
NIT to it. McELREE'S

Schools In st. Boniface.
WINNIPEG, Man, Feb. 21.-The by
election for st. Boniface yesterday
hinged on the Manitoba school ques-
ton, and the fight was between the
Catholic clergy candidate, Lozon, and
liberal candidate, Bertrand. AS was
expected, the church candidate was
elected, his majority being 1872. The
liberals or a~nti-scparate school party,
put up a strong fight, but the influence
exerted by the church was too great to
overcome, Archbishop Langevin per-
sonally taking part in the campaign
and exhorting his flock from the pulpit
to vote for Lozon. The Roman Catho-
lies are greatly elated wei the victory
as it indorses their stand for separate
schools and prolongs the Manitoba
fight.
