A CHINESE DROUGHT.

Tragic Scenes That Come With a
Long Spell Of Dry Weather.
In many districts OF China water be-
comes very scarce during the summer
months. Some OF the fearful results
Of the drought are described thus by
che Rev. John MACEDONIAN: The great
sun hIazes down from an unclouded
sky and drinks up the water that Is
cllnging 10 the roots OF the rice. The
soil now cracks with the feryent heat,
and every blade OF rice seems to be
making an appeal to the heartbrolSen
farmer for the water that alone Will
enable 1t to live He IS now at his
wits end to save his crop, for that per-
haps Ii the only thing now that lies
between him ana poverty and despair.
A failure Of a crop means very likely
that lie will have TO sell his daughter
or a son perhaps or even barter away
his wife If he would keep the home
stead from slipping from his grasp
Some Of the most piteous scenes In the
many tragic ones that cast their shad-
ows over the home III the experience Of
the Chinese husbandmen can be wit
messed during the summer months
when there has been a shortage In the
fall Of rain.
'The wells have become dry. and the
little ponds have heen drained Of every
drop of water they contained, The
rice III the field has lost the dark green
color that with Its rich sheen tells OF
health and vitality aud is turning into
sickly yellow that means decay and
death Water must be got now and at
any price, for two or three days more
Of this Will see the grain blasted In the
fields. They accordingly die the ponds
deeper to catch the tinlest rills that
may flow into them, and as the work
In the blazing sun might AZ once drink
these up the work is carried on during
the midnight hours. so that not a drop
OF the precious Huid may be absorbed
BIZ the great thirsty dragon In the sky.
"0ften these most pathetic endeavors
TO save their crops end ID tragedy and
death. Men are making supreme ef-
fort to avert disaster from their homes.
and in the mad endeasor 10 gain the
wafer for themselves the widest pas
slons Of the heart are aroused, and
neighbors win struggle with each 9TH
err for the slowly triekllng drops OF
water The solemn air af night Is
broken with the sound 81 conflict, and
the stars looking down from the mid
night sky see murder committed by
men whose sole and controlling motive
Is the preservation of their homes. -

Tho Rino finger

To the question often asked why the
marriage ring should be placed on the
left hand many answers are given.
Some say because the left hand Il
much less used than the right and
therefore the ring Is less liable to get
broken. In the British Apollo or l7Ss
IT Ii stated that for the same reason
the fourth finger was chosen, which il
not only less used than either Of the
rest. but IS more capable OF preserv-
ing a ring from bruises, having this
one quality peculiar TO itself that It

with some other finger whereas the
