Famine Statistics of India.
Appalling Losses cf Life From Stara-
ton IN the Far East,

Since Great Britain established
her rule in India the statistics Of
starvation have been appalling.
says the Boston Globe. Before there
was no statistics. The first famine
we have definite account Of occur
red in ITO. Within nine months
over 100000 people died out Of
10000, 900 in Bengal. In order to
obtain food parents sold their chill .
tiren into slavery until there were
no more buyers. Thotsands subs
sisted on leaves and grass as long
Dis possible, and when that failed
actually fed on the bodies of the
dead. Theeffects Of this famine were
felt for two generations. The chill.
tlren and young people had all died
by starvation, SO there was no rising
generation to till the fields. Jungles
took the place of farms and villages,
and tigers aud other wild beasts
multiplied so rapidly as to threaten
to deyour the rest Of the population.
Would that the people had then
used their remaining strength in
getting out Of the country, for since
then there has been a constant suc-
tession Of famines. The northwest

Among the old relics that have
been added to the school collection,
probably the most interesting one
is an old sign.boatd giving the rate
of toll across Snake river at Lewis
ton during the early days. The
wood where not protected by paint
has been worn away, leaving the
rate of toll in raised letters with the
black paint still visible. The rate
for footmen was 90 cents, and for
heavy wagons $4.00. Now the rates
are 5 cents aud 20 cents respectively.
