The. first circus OF the season came

Howe's circus is one OF the best on

riding and other features were OF high
order, and pleased all who saw them.
The menagerie contains many specl-

NO SONGS ON THE

ARE FAMINE VICTIMS.

board vessel on the Volga river. y
There are no boating songs on the
Volga this year.
The balalaka is not ringing form the
few boats which are floating along this
once mighty river, whose shallow wat
ers are atfording a poor avenue OF es-
cape from the parched grain fields
which mock the peasants to whom they
formerly yielded abundant bread
Pawnbrokers have long since reCeiv~
ed the balalaikas in exchange for ru-
bles necessary to buy food Tor the
starving families
Samoyars no longer sing merrlly on
the hearths of the peasant cottages.
They too, have been exchanged Tor
bread. Together with the family lkOns
and the bright brass candlesticks that
.onCe adorned every mantelpieCe they
are exhibited in the second hand shops
OF villages and cities, while their iOr-
mer owners are hudled together in
miserable camps along railways and
rivers waiting for somebody to take
them to a land OF food.
Priests. who are as miserable as
their parishioners, have set up affairs
in the wayside camps and are burying
the dead and praying for the hall dead
who kneel submissively before the
cross and intone their petitions to
heaven at sunrise and sunset.
Fortunately. the sun does not fail
them often. The autumn has been dry
so far and the glorious Indian summer
has made their lot less intolerable than
it will be when autumn raids add to
the misery of the unsheltered, poorly
clothed hundreds Of thousands.
\ lew families are still floating down
the river in frai1 rowboats, stacked
high with children and battered house
hold utensils The conditions are about
as bad down the NOlga as they are
here. but the more restless refugees
say they feel better to keep moving.
Some families still have horse or OK
(which has managed to live on parched
stubble, and are dragging along behind
their rICkety wagons until the time
when the faithful beasts shall drop
dead
Cemeteries surrounding the quaint
churches which line the entire course
of the NoIga are crowded with retu-
gees
But there is no shower OF mama.
The drouth and the grasshoppers have
robbed them OF their bread. Their
prayers have been OF little avail. Their
priests have not been able to get them
food. Their Little Father Gear
Nicholas who formerly looked after
them, is no more. Yet they have not
utterly lost hope and still devoutly
cross themselves and feebly voice pc
titions as they slowly merge into the
dust to which they are so soon to re-
turn.
