FAMINES.

The famine in India is not yet over.
There is famine In China. And now
the Minister of the Interior in Russia
admits that widespread distress exists
in large sections Of that country, owing
to the failure of the crops. The official
announcement says there has been a
complete failure Of the crops in the
governments Of Kherson and Tomsk
and the territory Of Smolensk, while
similar conditions exist in numbers of
districts of Bessarabia, Kieff, Tobolsk,
Taurida Podolia, and the Transbaikalia
territories The government has already
sent million and a half of roubles for
the relief of the sufferers and considers
that five and a half millions will be
necessary to meet the requirements, of
which amount five millions wifi be con-
tributed by the government. The Min
lister of the Interior appeals to private
charity in aid of the government.
States is. It is not over-popuiated, it's
means of transportation are such that
if there is scarcity in one part the
need can be promptly supplied from the
ether parts, and its people are not yet
SO poor that they can't take care of
themselves and help take care of others.

st. Louis has been able to compete In
the finer lines of goods, and her shoe
manufacturers now claim to be able to
compete on the cheaper grades. In the

boots and shoes the city claims prece-
dence There is much individuality in
the cowboy boots. They have fancy
stitched morocco tops, quilted lining
on the inside of the leg, which holds 1t
stiff and in perfect form, and each boot
is made with long outside strips of
leather, which the cowboys cut into
strings, While these strings are used
instead of the old fashioned pulls, they
serve also as an index TO the wearer's
length of service. Only a tenderfoot
ever wears these strips without Sitting
them into strings.
ST. Louis needs some encouragement

What Is said to be the smallest claim
ever presented TO congress was filed the
other day. 1t was for 81, and Secretary
Root, in letter Of transmittal, asked
that it be included in the general def
cheney bill. The claim Is that of Mrs.
B. N. Reuter-, Of Pomeroy, Ohio. She
says that the government engineers,
while blasting near her house, caused
an explosion which hurled a stone
did 50 cents worth of injury to the
glass and 25 cents worth to lace cur
tain. The remaining quarter is for the
services of a glazier in putting in the
glass, Mrs. Reuter- first wrote a letter
complaining of the damage to Major
Bixby, the government engineer in
charge Of the improvements of the
Ohio river. Major Bixby, after having
the matter investigated by an officer,
transmitted the letter to his chief, Cen
cral John M. Wilson, chief of engineers,
with the Endorsement that the claim
was g just one and should be paid.
General Wilson, after allowing the
claim to travel along the routine of his
Office, referred it through military
channels to the secretary of war.
"That woman should be paid was the
comment of General Grosvenor, in
whose district the claimant lives.

Some of the testimony given in Gin
cinnati by w A. Brady, promoter of
pugillsm and pugilists, is interesting.
For instance, he said there had been no
real prize fight since the days Of Sui
Ivan. OF course, Mr.. Brady wasn't
trying to say anything that would pre-
JUDGE the court against the Jeffries-
Rubin scrap, but it wouldn't be fair
to charge him with perjury. If this
testimony of his Is to be believed good
many dollars have been obtained by
him and others under false pretences.

His ears to the birds and bees,
And he gave his heart to the winds that

Away over empty seas.
And he saw the depths tnat he could not

And he heard the unwor,dly songs
And his heart, unfetternd, lied past the
bound
OF a tired lfe's rights and wrongs;
And he neither wrought nor played nor

Nor troubled with good and II;
And his dreams were vague is the scents

Because he had lived FOR nought.

UND ESIRABLE ADYERTfSING

Kansas has had good deal of adver-
hasn't done 1t much good Populists,
regulators, calamity howlers and 9TH
ers have advertised Kansas in a very
undesirable way. And now Kansas is
being advertised as State where law
is not enforced, and where lynch law
does the work that ought to be done by
the regular law officers. The situation
moves the Topeka State Journal to the
following outburst: Is that advertising
good for the State and cities receiving
1T? Does 1t hold up to the eyes Of the
world the wealth of the State, the re-
sources and Industries? Does it de-
scribe the honest farmers and mechan-
les who make up the bulk of the popu-
BILE homes, the schools, colleges and
State institutions? Does it tell of the
strength of the State laws and the men
who enforce them? No. Does it not
instead hold up to the world the pitia-
BILE story Of law nullified by the action
or inaction of weak officials; the de-
scriptions of low dives; the story of the
class of men who openly violate the
law; of wrecked homes instead of happy
ones? Yes. Is all this good for Kan
sas?
1t is not surprising that some of the
people Of Kansas are disturbed by the
reputation she has acquired. 1t is an |
and wonderful State, and |
nobody can tell what will break loose |
there next.

The United States has become the
great fruit country of the world. In 10
other country in the temperate zone is
there so much fruit eaten by the people
as in the United States. Oranges lem
ons Strawberries, peaches, apples-all
kinds of fruits, in fact-are grown in
the United States, from those of tropc
or semitropic character In Florida, Tex
as and California to the apples, blueber-
ries and cranberries of the northern
States. 1t is computed that the straw
berry crop alone is worth $S0,0O0,0O0,
while the grapes % the United States
probably bring $10O,O0OOOO When it
comes to peaches and apples it is al
most impossible to estimate the yield
or the value of these two great crops
of delicious, wholesome fruit There are
orchards III the United states contain
ing as many as 100000 peach trees,
while the apple crop is ordinarily con-
siderably above 200O00,OOO barrels, of
which 100000 barrels go to Europe
every year. Iowa, Illinois, Ohio and
New York especially are great APPLE
growing States, the apples of Illinois
taking the first premium at the recent
Paris exposition. One county of Iowa
(Mills) is said to have over 100000 ap-
pie trees, while Niagara and Orleans
counties, New York, surpass even this
record.
