Entertainment for the Benefit OF the
Public Library Exceeds Expectations.
The entertainment given at the res
idence OF Mayor and Mrs. Bergman
in the interest Of the Public Library
last night was a success in every de-

hostess was packed with well-known
local society people and when the hour
for the commencement of the program
arrived there was scarcely room for
those present to get within ear-shot of
the participants in the exercises.
The following program was render

vessels that they have been able to
buy since that famine. These brass
dishes are now being pawned by those
who come on to the relief works. 1t Is
their last resort to keep their bodies
and souls together before they get re-
lief from the government paymasters.
The merchants here and In the near
villages have carloads on carloads of
brass dishes. There Is great suffering
from the cold in the nights Of these
winter days. The people are not only
clothless, but almost ragless. The
wretchedness Is terrible, but still worse
Is the emaciation. Living skeletons In
abundance are in evidence on every
side. The village kulkarani tells me
camp, too far gone to recover. Many
men and women have also died here.
The only reason given Is lack of food.
Last night man died in the camp
who, they say. had not had anything to
eat for three days.
This famine Is undoubtedly far
more severe In these parts than that Of
1910 OF CldI Oh 1850. OUe Oh Tue WORST
features is the lack of water. Rivers
usually flowing full at this time are
dry beds Of sand. Wells that have nev-
er failed before in the memory of any
one living have not drop of water in
them. The well that waters our gar
den and has never failed since my IA
tber came here. almost 45 years ago, is
dry. The village well, that was cup
posed to have a large living spring, has
nothing in it now. Our little town Is,
however, well of in the matter Of wa
ter as compared with most of the towns
and villages in these parts.
Government officers tell me that the
Indian government look with the
greatest apprehension on the famine.
They already feel themselves unable
to cope with 1t, so great are its dimen-
sions and proportions at the very open
ing, and without any doubt for nine
months more the famine must rage.
Undoubtedly private philanthropy
must supply great help in this famine,
far greater than in the last famine II
millions in these and other parts Of IN
dia are to be saved from starvation"

bur, Not your Talents.

No man who buries his talents can
live n happy life. The most unhappy
people one meets are those who have
abundance, but refuse to use it in the
way God intended. They are living
for themselves and know it is wrong
and are unspeakably miserable on that
account, but cannot bring themselves
to live otherwise. The most happy
people in the world are those who de-
vote their talents, whether great or
small, to some good use. This is an in
fallible recipe for happiness. Let any
unhappy man begin at once to do all
the good he can, in every way he can,
to as many Of his fellow men as he can
and his heart will begin at once to sing
for joy.-Christian Advocate.

THE FAMINE IN INDIA.

More Distress Than In 1876 or 1888.
The Drought Also Severe.
The following account of the famine
in India is given in a letter sent to
New York by the Rev. Edward Fair
bank, missionary of the American
board at Vadala, India.
Here at yadala and within three
miles of us there are 5000 persons on
the relief works. 1t was only two
weeks ago that there We're less than
5000. People are fiocking to these
camps by the hundreds. The overseer
of the works told me Monday that he
took 900 that day on to the relief
works here at 'vadala. These facts
alone will sbow that the stress is rap
idly growing extreme.
"The condition of the people on the
relief works Is far beyond description.
Three years ago at Sholapur, at the
end of the famine, saw less wretched-
ness and emaciation than see here
today at the beginning of the famine.
People have not recovered from the
last famine. They have nothing in
their houses to pawn but few brass

Some time ago II was pointed out In
English newspapers that several por-
traits OF Charles l., by Vandyke,
showed the same fierce mustache
which the kaiser Is so fond of. A Ger
man monthly now comes forward and
observes that the ''upturned mustache"
was really Invented at the court Of
Philip ~ of Spain. Charles |, being
Philips brother-in-law, subsequently
set the fashion liz England. and thence
II spread to Belgium, Germany, Swe-

tically the last monarch to wear this
type of mustache until its revival by
