FAMINE In CHINA.
Thousa de- of People Left Starving
by the Recent yellow River
Floods.

Even the great Yellow river floods
Of IL years ago did not cause more
widespread suffering than the recent
inundation, which has left thousands
of poor Chinese homeless and starving.
At Yangehow there are now gathered
pendent on public charity for life. The
Chinese authorities, assisted by the
missionaries, are trying TO relieve the
suffering. but their funds already are
nearly exhausted. Every day rice Cruel
is distributed free TO the hungry mob,
with the result that ii requires all the
police force of the city TO prevent the
starving wretches from trampling to
death the aged and weak. On the first
day of this relief distribution the crowd
pressed so about the doors that several
children and aged people were crushed
to death. Since then the police have
prevented such brushes. Should the
general government furnish aid. the
suffering will be severe and rioting will
probably result. Most of the refugees
saved only their clothes and a few ar
ticles of household use. They live
in wretched holes in the ground, COW
cred with small straw huts. and many
of them are clothed in rags, though the
weather is severe.
Reports from the inundated country
show that nothing has yet been done to
check the break in the southern bank
Of the river. The water is still pouring

not themselves be able to go safely
through the trying ordeal, and secondly
comes the fear that the darling little
baby's life or health or general WE'LL
being may somehow be sacrificed.
Bat there is no real need of apprehen-
sion in either direction. If any woman
who is expecting to become a mother
will follow the example of Mrs. Orrin
Stiles, of Downing, Dunn Co., Wis, the
most perfect confidence may be felt in
the happy outcome of this critical period,
both for the mother and the child.

from Lii Hung Changes party, which
started out with great plans for the

death by slow starvation and make no
cutlery.
Alarming reports come in from the
rebellion in Honan and Anhui. and the
Chinese war Office is apparently very
busy. but under any other government
such a revolt would be crushed in a few
weeks. In Honan the rebels are fight
ers, and they are fairly well supplied
with arms and ammunition, but any
well-drilled force could whip them. In
Anhui the mob OF malcontents has been
swollen to 10000 armed men. but in
the great majority of cases they have
no ammunition. This Chinese rabble
would excite the contempt of any we'll

the imperial army lacks both equip

sums that appear as expenditures for
the army in each viceroy's accounts,

 been slowly formed by the decomposition of shales

Whiteiaw Reid. owner aNd editor of the New York Tribune, VI ho has spent the last two winters in Arizona for the benefit of his health, writes entertainingly and in structively concerning that part of the country. Mir. Reid says:
 So many questions are asked about Ari- zona as place for winter residence, and there appears to be such a dearth of pre- else information among many who are vitally interested, that it seems almost a public duty, to set down, in the simplest form, Q few facts of personal observation.

Of course there were 8 geOd many days which weather observer would de- scribe as cloudy, and some that were "shovery; but during these five months from No' ember, 1895, to May, lS96.) there were only four days when we did not have brilliant sunshine at some time dur ing the day.
