LAND OF LIVING SKELETONS,
Terrible Condition Of Natives Of Jubbelpoor,

JuDbulpocr India. Feb. 10.-On his wa,
to this city, a special correspondent
who is examining into the famine situa.
ton in India, visited the poorhouses
Of BilaspEr and Katni. The inmates
were found to be in a deplorable con.
dihon, the buildings were oyercrowded
and medical attendance was lacking
a man outside OF one of them was dead
and another was dying. A girl years
OIL age weighed only 10 pounds AND
several adults We're under So pounds in
weight. The skin in all cases was drawn
over the face. showing the outline OF
the skulls, and the limbs and joints had
the appearance OF those of articulat.
ed skeletons. That the condition OF
these people was pitiable was proven
BY the immense migration to
the Assam tea-gardens. Six
teen hundred persons are drafted
there weekly. deserving their wives and
families.
Jubbulpoor is the worst part of central
India
1t is estimated that the present famine
Is the greatest of the century and will
greatly srrpass that OF 1876, both ir
area and severity. The famine belt ex-
tends to Bawaipindi and Bellary and Is
1900 miles long and 400 miles wide
This is apart from the scattered dis
tricts.
In all the rice districts there is nc
chance of food supply until Septen-
beg. The government will thus be forced
to support nearly all the population
for six months and many Of them for
eight months. Whole villages are de-
serted.
The governments policy at the first
was rather TO ignore the famine. II
Is now, however, alive to the danger,
and strenuous efforts are being made
to avert horrible disaster. But it will
have to recover lost time and owing
to the scarcity of the previous three
years the people will easily succumb.
Out of the 10000 inhabitants of Jub-
bulpoor, about 10000 are now receiv ing
relief.
Ey the month of May this number win
be doubled.
The Kurai poorhouses in the western
part of the district have been burned.

pies pockets all the time you may do it now

thing of absolute merit in return, advertis-

sores; but it was as white as milk, and

HOW TO KEEP EMBROIDERED LIN
EMS BRIGHT AND FRESH

That hand work on wash materials is far
more desirable than on silk and velvet, so
popular few years ago, cannot be doubt
ed, yet many women complain that the
colors fade and dinge SO soon that the
work is labor thrown away. But this is
an error, for if properly laundried, wash
silks may be kept fresh and bright until
the articles they adorn are past usefulness.
The doing of the embroidery is no daintier
work thar that of keeping it in good order,
and only by doing it herself can the tasty
woman have her fancy linens kept bright
and pretty
When ready to do the work, select
bright day, fill small tub nearly full of
warm water and add little Ivory soap to
make suds, put each piece in and wash
carefully. After each article is clean,
rinse in slightly blue water, to which a
little thin starch is added, wiring and hang
in the shade. When dry, sprinkle, fold,
and let stand half an hour. Iron on the
wrong side, pressing down heavily to
throw out the stitches of the embroidery,
thus restoring their original beauty.
