FAMINE AND PLAGUE.
Terrible Suffering of the Inhabitants of
India.
A vivid portrayal of the awful situa
tion in India famine threatened for the
whole vast population, era in riots al
ready begun, and a .drought of manv
months in prospect is contained in a
letter wnicn tne American Hoard of
-Foreign Missions has iust received from
the Rev. R. A. Hume, D. D., dated at,
Ahmadnugner. India. October 16th.
1896, 'says a Boston correspondent of the
Hew York Times.
"I ani just entering on ray 23d year of
missionary service in India," says the
writer. "In these years I have been
through many perplexities, but the end
ot tne Tza years finds me in ereater-ne
cuniary embaraassmentthan ever before
in my life. Many is the day that there
is not a dollar in the house for personal
expenses, or for the old-established
fruitful work, or for our theological sem
inary, nor any idea where a dollar is to
come from, and in this 22d vear there
appear the almost certain prospect of
the keenest and most trying suffering
and perplexity caused by wide-spread
famine.
"The Indian weather bureau foretold
an inadequate rainy- season this
year. The result is as foretold. From
the Himalayas to Cape Comorjn the
rainy season has been inadequate. In
this (Ahmednuggur) district the earlv
m j
rain in June and July was good, but
since July there has been no rain, and
now the prospect is that for eight
.months more no rain will fall- In con
sequence the first croDs have not-, nmn
, t.
erly ripened, and for want of later rain
the second craps cannot be even sowed
in most places, unless there are wells to
be depended on. Even the water arm
ply is now low. What will it be a leT
montHB hence?
"I have been through one famine in
India, and the recollection of it is most
ead, but that was not a general so mnnh
aB a comparatively local famine. The
coming iamine seems likely to be very
general for nearly the whole population
with its 309,000,000 people.
Already grain riots are common. The
people people break open grain shops
and granaries, and threaten to kill the
merchants if they interfere. They
eay: "We shall have soon to die with
out grain. If yon interfere with our
getting your grain, we will kill you in
the struggle, it will be all the same."
"When quiet, orderly people are
aroused to such acta and words, you can
imagine their present condition.
"But this is only the beginning of oar
troubles. No more rain seems likely to
fall for 8 months, and no grayi can be
ripened for over 10 months. What fear
ful suffering Beems to be in store."
The Rev. Edward Hume writes from
Bombay, under date of October 10:
"Yesterday's report shows that during
the past week there have been nearlv
800 deathe, or 50 per cent above the nor
mal number for this time of the year.
This excess is due to the, presence of
the plague which the doctors technically
call "bunconic" fever. The symptoms
are swelling on the neck, in the arm pits
and groins, accompanied by fever and
vomiting, and the Datienta
very noticeably sad .and demented ap
pearance. In one case which has been
Ttnnrt Aaath trtlr- nTAnA f . it,
- l -vi .wn. IU llllieBS
of 22 hours, but in most cases the pa
tients linger on for two or three days.
At first the mortality was yery high, tut
now the authorities assure us that not
more than 60 per cent of the cases aie
fatal. Even experts cannot tell us
whence the disease cornea nor what the
cause is. . - -
HUNTERS HIT BY. THEIR GAME.
Instances Where Sportsmen Have Received
Severe Blows from Birds.
Game Lilled in full flight has a mo
mentum that carries it a long way some
times. London Field relates several in
stances where the birds have hit the
sportsman. In one case Georjye Mon
ners was shooting- in the woods of Long
Island when a grouse, driven by beater.s,
came flying: alonpr fast and hifrh up. He
shot 'at it, and then, with the other
barrel, fired at another bird. Juat as
he was about lowering- his gun after
the second shot he received a blow on
the head that knocked him sense
less. The grouse first hit had tumbled
against his head.
That same r.fterr.oon a wheelman
riding' along1 near fhe line of hunters
admiring the scenery did not observe a
big black cock till its feathers brushed
his head. The black cock had been
killed and had nearly hit him in falling.
The. Badminton volume on shooting
tells haw the late Charles Leslie was
knocked out at the battery by a grouse
he had shot. A strong hat probably
saved hiin from serious injury.
American hunters have had similar
experience. A man was riding along
in a wagon: some time ago, according
to Forest and sf ream, when, something
nit mm on the head with enough force
to make him dizzy. An unwounded
partridge flying through the woods had
hit him fair. Why the bird did not turn
aside is as much a mysterv as the fact
that partridges sometimes fly against
nouse sides and are killed in so doing-.
Cost of a Cardinal's Hat.
The red hat of a cardinal costs him
more mcney than kings pay for any ex
cept their very best crowns. Before
accepting it the grateful prelate must
make offerings to the the propaganda
and to his titular church at Home, and
pay fees to a long list of officials, rang
ing from chamberlains at the Vatican
down to the cooks and sweepers and.the
soldiers of the Swiss guards. Indeed,
the new cardinal has to pay fees atovery
step from the moment of his creaMon
to the occasion of his receiving- the red
hat in public consistory, and wheu all
is over and done finds himself on, of
pocket to the extent of $2,500 at least.
If the cardinal is without means to de
fray the cost of his elevation, and if he
is to reside in Rome, the Vatican is ready
to make him a loan to be repaid in in
stallments out of his yearly allowances.
The Sexes in Bcrmah.
The new woman should take her way
to Burmah. There, travelers say, is the
only plaoe on earth where true equality
between the sexes exista. In spite of
this, it is claimed, no women are more
womanly than the Burmese women,
whose good sense enables tihem to seo
the line; where they ought to stop. In
the higher classes a woman, has prop
erty of her. own and manages it herself.
In the lo.ver classes she always has n
trade and runs her business on her own
responsibility, the sexes clioose their
own operations, and it is curious to ser
the men sometimes sewing or embroid
ering, while the women liave nearly al'
the retail trade of the island on their
hands.
