got their steamer built and started up

NEGLECTlNG THE HINDOO.
pepIOrabIe Condition of India's Suf-
ferinE ThOusnnds.

In India a famine RACES and the re-
port of it creates not so much as ripple
of excitement. There is 10 doubt that
il is a dire calamity. There is no ques-
ton that the southern stars CLEAN like
wolves eyes upon vast stretches of ter
ritory where hunger has weakened the
Inhabitants and the very landscape,
and made all look haggard and worn.
In that faravay country there are many
W no. at this time, are dying for want of
bread, and whose gaunt fingers would
serve. specter-like enough, to terrify
any banquet gathering. There are
thousands who walk the earth wonder
ing in their distress and dire agony if
there really is an overruling Providence
and whether. of all the widely cared for,
they are overlooked and fOrgottetn.
They probably know that the whole
earth is not smitten with drought
and shortage, but they live to realize
that that which on earth is abundant is
not necessarily free. and that. although
there may be sufficient for all, some
may still hunger and be left to die.
1t does not seem plausible, but there
is a vast disproportion in the quality of
sympathy extended to forms of suffer
ing generally. If thousands were
butchered by the order of a living
Turk, as in Armenia, there would be Il
great hubbub and to-do, even though
there were not much aims distributed
= for visible ''serene highness' would
be clearly at fault; but let nature go
awry in her beneficence and withhold
GOODNESS and rain so that thousands are
brought to suffering, and nothing is
said.
1t is not that the agony superinduced
by a destructive season is any less than
that brought about by a destructive
Turk, but only that the latter is where
earthly vengeance may still be wrea<ed
upon him. while nature is over all and
smiles unchanginply at mans direst
need. With her there is no great and
no small, while with the sultan there
are both, and some who may do him in
jury. The very thought that sum-
mary justice may be measured ou+, to
an offending 1nonarch-that he may
be dragged down from his throne and
made lowly and miserable-is enough
to excite interest in an authorit y-loving
wording. Let it appear, however, that
unconquerabe nature is TO be hopeless
ly buffeted, and behold. its victims are
not worried over, if they be not near.
They may be as miserable as the down
trodden Armenians, and their death
(as from famine) may be more linger-
ing and more sure, but supposedly they
are at the mercysof God, and therefore
what of it? The others are under the
sultan, n very much more evident in
fiuence, and therefore all interest is in
Turkey. The Hindoo may perish for
lack of n visible earthly oppressor.-

We have a good navy, and we do

saws the Boston journal, casualties to

not been particularly frequent when
their size and their number are consld-
cred In this country every trivial
mischance is caught up and exploited
by the sensational newspaper, but moth
ing is said of similar accidents in for
eign navies. Barring the destruction OF
Admiral Kimberly's fleet b.. che Samoan
hurricane in 1889. which no skill or fore
sight could have prevented, our naval
service for many years has been remark
ably free from really serious disasters.
There is nothing in our records to COM
pare with the capsizing of the British
frigate Captain with half a thousand
men in 1870. or the fatal collision of
the British ironclads Vanguard and
Iron Duke in 1879. or that of the Ger
man ironclads Kaiser Wilhelm and
Grosser Kurfurst the year following.

The list of minor accidents to foreign

the stranding of the British armorclads

\ Dog Performs the Duty Success

fully and CcnscientiOusly.
Did you ever watch a dog gap? For
thoroughness and entire absence of af-
fectation and mock shamefacedness
there is nothing like it, says pearson's
Weekly. When q dog gapes he doesn't
screw his face into all sorts of unnatural
shapes in an endeavor to keep his mouth
shut with his jaws wide open.
Neither does he put his paw up to his
face in an apologize way, while gaping
in ambush, as it were. No: when he
"apes he is perfectly willing that the
whole world shall come to the show. He
braces himself firmly on his fore feet,
stretches out his neck, depresses his
head ard his jaws open with graceful
moderation.
At first it is but an exaggerated grin,
but when the cape is apparently ac-
complished the dog turns out his ell
bows. opens his jaws another As degrees,
swallows an imaginary bone by sud-
den and conclusive movement, curls up
his tongue like the petal of a tiger lily
and shuts his jaws together with n snap.
Then he assumes a grave and con-
tented visage, as is eminently becoming
to one who has performed a duty sue
cessfully and conscientiously.
