SELL THE CHILDREN.
Market Price of Girls Is Thirty
Cents in India.

Boston, April 1.-THE Rev. Rockwell
Clancy. a missionary at A1lahabad. who
is visiting his brother in Medford, said
last night
The condition of famine stricken India
today is something perfectly awful to
contemplate. I can not tell anything
about the number dying, but when left
Bombay last February, there were some
so 600, 900 people suffering and over 10000, coo
were in dire distress and OF these but five
million were receiving government aid
1T is not the cities. but the country
places which are stricken. and when you
know that it is mostly among the agri-
cultural classes, and that 50 per cent Of
the population of India is made up of
tiIlers of the soil you may be able to
grasp in some slight manner the extent
of the suffering at the present time
When the famine set in the people be-
gan to sell everything they had that they
might get a little grain for food They
took the doors from their houses and sod
them: sold their furniture. and farming
utensils, and then when they had no long
er anything to sell. they sold their chill
dreu The boys don't sell well and the
traffic was largely in girls
7 saw girls in one town just before L
came away being sold for 30 cents apiece
They were bought up by Mohamr1edarls-
But they won't buy the boys, so when the
dren, they abandon them and hencetorth
they must get on as best they can These
castoffs cOngregate about the doors OF the
grain merchants shops. and the only way
the proprietors can get rid OF them IS TO
throw out handfuls of grain scattering It
and at night perhaps. are rewarded BY
having collected a. single handful
