MILLIONS WILL NEED ASSIST.

FAILURES.
MEMBERS OF MOSCOW
ZEMSTVO INVESTIGATE
Declare $4,000, 900 or More Will Be
Necessary for Relief of Famine
Victims Epiden;es of Hunger,
r Typhus and Scurvy Appearing.

st. Petersburg, Dec. 4.-Pmnces G.
E. Lvoff and Orbeliani, the representa-
tives of the Moscow Zemstvo famine
relief organization, who have just re-
turned from the stricken districts,
have furnished the following facts re-
garding the conditions in the famine
provinces:
Crops Almost Total Failures.
The crops in the seven provinces Of
samara, Saratov, Sembirsk, Kazan,
Penza, Tambov and Ufa we're practi-
cally total failures. In 20 provinces
the harvests were very poor. About
100000 people will need assistance
for from four to ten months to stave
off starvation until the new crops are
available. Though affecting $4,000, 900
persons, the restitution is far less in
tense than it was in 1891. In some re-
gions the inhabitants have been suf-
fering from starvation for ten years,
possibly crops having been gathered
in only two of the ten years. Prince
Lvoff believes the government esti.
mate of $50,000,000 for famine relief
is inadequate. The Moscow Zemstvo
relief organization calculates that $751;
100000 and possibly more, will be
necessary.
Though the conditions in the famine
regions are now distressing far worse
may be expected in January. The
Zemstvo organization funds, 100000,
will then be exhausted, and the relief
committees will be compelled to cease
their efforts for the starving peasants.
Prince Lvoff complained that the local
officials, for political reasons, are in.
terfering with the establishment Of
soup kitchens and the rendering Of
medical assistance. He reported cases
where petty functionaries prohibited
assistance being given to famine suf-
ferers. Epidemics of hunger, typhus
and scurvy, which usually begin in
February, already have apparel in
mara.
Girls Sold Into Slavery.
On the strength of his personal
knowledge Prince Lvoff reaffirmed the
truth of the report, lately officially de-
MED, that girls in Kazan province had
been sold into slavery and taken to
Mohammedan harems in the Caucasus.
He said the sales we're masked under
! the guise of entering domestic service,
but that did not affect the truth of the
i first statements made. Hundreds of
4 families in the Volga provinces, the
i prince added, we're iocking to the al
ready over-populated towns.
Prince Orbeliani, who extended his
trip to the Turgai steppes, said that a
famine was raging among the Kirghiz
and Bashkir tribes. The horses and
cattle of these nomadic tribes were
perishing from hunger and the owners
were killing them for their hides. The
tribesmen, according to the prince,
will face complete famine next year.
At the headquarters of the Free
Economical society, which is also con-
Quoting famine relief, similar figures
were furnished backed by official sta
tistics, showing that the yields of rye,
wheat and barley in Samara province
we're only Is per cent, in Simbrisk 20,
in Kazan 81, in Saratov IS, and Penza
40 per cent. of the normal yield.

A College In Rokhara.

There lay behind the great arch and
the domes and the minarets retired
precinct of ancient trees and shaded
walks, a grove in the midst Of a city,
colonnaded in quadrangle by the point
ed arches of the students cells. Under
the trees was a sort of summer house
or pavilion. Two or three young men
were walking in an avenue against the
farther colonnade, and on the stone
steps of a wide, shaded pool sat several
mollahs on their praying rugs. We
visited a number of the students in

GIRL slaves In china.

owner and a part OF his property. She
no longer retains her freeborn rights,
but surrenders them all to the win Of
those who own her. She receives no
compensation for her labor, but Ia

give her. In cases Of tyranny or gross
cruelty she cannot appeal for redress

Where the tiny cochlneal insect comes
from is something OF a mystery, but
he does come wherever the nopai plant
grows and for long time was thought
to be a seed or a fioweret Of the plant.
The living female insect Is twice as
large as the male. weighs one-tenth Of
grain and loses much weight In dry
ing, so that 10000 are needed to make
one pound During the rainy season
many millions Of the creatures are
drowned or washed or the plants, 50
that when the long dry summer comes
there are but few survivors on each
plant. But these multiply so rapidly
that before long the plants are cover
ed. The last act Of the females life is
to deposit a large number Of eggs, on
which her dead body rests, protecting
them from the burning rays Of the sun
until the little ones emerge. In about
six weeks after the beginning of the
dry season comes the first harvest
The plantation laborers make the
round of the nopalry and with a brush
go over the entire plant, sweeping the
creatures into a bag. They then are
killed by immersion in hot water, by
exposure to steam or by drying in hot
ovens. The hot water or steam makes
them dark reddish brown or black
cochIneal. The hot ovens make them
a red gray hue or silver cochlneal. The
females outnumber the males by at
least 200 to /, fortunate fact for the
planter, since the males are Of no use
to him whatever.

THE CABS OF NEW YORK.
They Are Not an Integral Part OF the

They Are Not an Integral Part OF the
Life of the City.
The cab is no integral part of New
York life. Venice without the gondola
were as unthinkable as a woman with
out hair. No little of London's COM
polling charm is in It's swift rolling
hansoms. These things we know. But
one can't think of New York in terms
of cabs. Once upon a time l was in
exile. Only In memory did the great
city rise before me, and what l saw
was this: Huge canyons of stone and
steel, filed with noise and darkness,
through which great yellow worms
crawled, one after the other, in mid
air. That is the picture Of New York
that haunts the exile, even as the out
lawed Venetian is obsessed by slim
black gondolas cutting across lanes Of
moonlight. Your true New Yorker Is
a steam projected, electrically carted
person. Only in exceptional moments
Of gloom or gayety does he ride 'in a
carriage and pair" He is carriage
ridden to a funeral. He cabs it In
winey moments, when the fear Of God
is not in him. There are only 1900
licensed cabs and hacks on the island
Of Manhattan. Others there are, of
course, plying practically in the dark
quarters, but even with these thrown
in the reckoning is small. No; the New
Yorker is not cabby persOn.-Vance

minerals, namely coal. oil. gas, as

sand besides considerable amounts
OF lead. zinc. tin and other minerals
In the natural course OF events. some

But If a thoughly equipped geological

these minerals. the development may
be brought about within very few
years. A few thousand dollars in
