STARVING PEOPLE

Grim Famine Stalks Abroad
in Northern Sweden.

THIRTY THOUSAND AFFECTED.
Situation Threatening a Repetition of
the Terrible Famine Of 1867, When
Thousands Died Of Starvation and
Fever-Pathetic Appeals Are Made.
London, Jan 15.-Telegrams from
Stockholm confirm the distressing ac-
counts of famine in northern Sweden
as given in these dispatches. About
10000 people are affected by this fam
inc, which extends from the sixty-frst
to~the siXty-seventh degree north Iati-
tude, and from the Gulf of Bothnia
and the Russian border far into the
interior
The starving people are eating pine
bark, which is dried, ground to pow
der, mixed with stewed Iceland moss
and made into a kind of famine
bread
Scarcity OF Fish.
Coincident with the failure of the
crop is the extreme scarcity Of fish.
The fishermen return from their expe-
ditions empty-handed. Even ptar.
migan, usually found in great num-
bers in the stricken district have al.
most completely disappeared.
1t is estimated that the expenditure
of about $4,000 900 will be necessary
to save the population from decimin.

the breed of cattle, which alone can
live through an Arctic winter, or sup

peasants are making pathetic sacrif-
ces to avert the determination of the
hardy Northern cattle. In previous

milk of cattle thus fed leads to ty.
phoid fever
Disease May Increase.
This and other diseases are certain
to spread unless relief is fastened
The situation threatens a repetition
of the terrible famine of 1867, when
thousands died of starvation and ty-
phoid fever. A special commissioner
OF the Swedish government, who has
just returned from the scene of dis,
tress, emphasizes the necessity for
the adoption of immediate plans to
abate the distress. His report has
caused a most painful impression and
will, it is hoped, enhance the national
efforts to provide remedial measures.
Up to the present, 1900 carloads, val
ued at over 100000, represent the to.
tai quantity of provisions and fodder
shipped to the famine-stricl1en area.

Winter Eczema
OR letter a.s9 !, sSs v.4I.tIs: # Il:

of that tor
menting disease called Eczema. 1t slum-
bers through the summer and breaks
out in winter. The head, feet and hands
are the parts most often attacked, though
it sometimes appears on other parts of the
body, the skin hardens, cracks open and
bleeds, while the itching and burning is
at times almost unbearabie. Scratching
only makes it worse, sores and scabs
forming where the skin is broken.
In this form of Eczema brownish white
crusts sometimes
form which scale off SKIN CRACKS
IN fine PARTICLES,
leaving the skin raw AND BLEEDS
and inhamed. 1t is
especially painful and severe when con-
fined to the hands, which often become SO
badly affected that the sufferer is unable
to perform the lightest work. This, like
all other types of Eczema, is due to acid
poisons in the blood and not to local
causes. The trouble is more than skin
deep, and washes, soaps, powders and
salves nor anything else applied to the
surface can possibly do more than soothe
the burning and itching or relieve tempo
rarily the inflammation and pain.
1t is tke acids thrown off by the blood
and which are forcing their way through
the pores that cause the skin to harden,
crack and bleed, and produce the irrita-
ton and soreness.

NaDoIeon's gemper.

A story is told Of a sudden rage into
which Napoleon l. fell one day as he
was Mt dinner. He had scarce partaken
of a mOuthful when apparently some
inopportune thought or recollection
stung his brain to madness, and, reced-
ing from the table without rising from
his chair-his small stature permitted
that-he uplifted his foot-dash went
the table, crash went the dinner, and
the emperor sprang up, intending to
pace the room. Quick as a flash his
waiter scratched few magic symbols
on bit of paper. and the emperor's
check had grown more than double.
Napoleon appreciated the delicacy of
his attendant and said, "Thank you,
my dear Dunand," with one Of his in
imltable smiles. The hurricane had
blown over.

The vessel resembled a turtle IL

cannon.
The drawing is very exact, and ex-
