.vr. s i .^phkM ni Fulie tat Cklafc ' OPIUM and famine prevent a very rapid increase of the population of V ^China. In a single year the Chinese - importation of opium amounted to 1 nearly $45,000,000-- more than half the importations of the Empire. The peo­ ple are enslaved by it, and the Govern­ ment is wholly unable to control it. " Once they destroyed 20,000 chests, for * which had been offered $11,000. They had waited too long. Opium-eating had become a National indulgence. Thfe native cultivators now compete u»i,,with the producers of India; and each year «e«d to the market millions of ^chests. The native article is less de­ structive than the foreign, and in the hope that its use will lessen the evil, the Government encourages home cul- T "tivation. It is believed the home arti- I , cle will soon exclude the foreign. 'Many of the Chinese believe opium the instrument in the hands of some mys­ terious power to effect the destruction of their people. They say, "All the stems of the bamboos of the South, if , • converted into pens, could not record „ the evils of opium." A Chinese Socie­ ty has published ail appeal in which they say: «* If this evil is allowed to go on, there will remain no remedy, no salvation for our country. We ask, in the name of Heaven, what unheard-of crime have we committed that we should thus be punished? Since the creation down to our days no plague has so much ravaged our country." In the Provinces where the drug is cultivated, the people were tormerly sober, thrifty and prosperous; but they have become idle, oorrupt and hopeless, committing crimes for opium, dying of hunger, and in not a few instances eating even human flesh. The number of opium consumers is not known. The lower classes do not alone use it. but the very highest, and these offer It to their ¥aests as wine is offered in Europe, he City of Ningpo, with a population of 400,000, has 2,700 opium shops. It is estimated that throughout the Em­ pire 600,000 opium victims die yearly. Though the use of the deadly drug does not produce the violent effects of some other intoxicants at first, it is in the end more pernicious and irremediable. Its victims become livid, their eyes lose their brightness, their cheeks wither, labor is unendurable, and all their evil instincts are unnaturally excited. The Chinese say that only England can assist them in recovery, if re­ covery be possible, from this dreadful curse, and that by restraining the mer­ chants of India from offering it for sale in their countries. Onco assured that none would be allowed to be sent from India, the Ithperial Government would prohibit its home production. The Chinese Government appeals to En­ gland for a restrictive policy. Such a famine as is now raging in the Provinces of Shansi, Chili, Hoonan and Shensi, in Northern China, was never before known in any country. The four Provinces contained a popu­ lation of about seventy millions, and the indications are that all will be obliged to leave, or they will die of starvation. In Shansi, where is the most destitution, there were recently between three and four millions entire­ ly dependent upon the Government for food. Here, as also in other Provinces, the people have died by millions. There is no work, no business, ho money. The people have consumed everything that could be eaten--grass, wild herbs, the bark of trees, green twigs, insects, vermin, and as a last resort they have eaten dirt. Rev. S. Wells Williams, a missionary, writes that he has seen men eating clay or stones. The stone is the same as our soft-stone pencils. It is reduced to dust and mixed with millet husks, and then baked. This stone is sold at from two to five mills a pound, and bark at from five to seven mills per pound. Grain is three or four times the usual price, and turnips and cabbages five or six times. Flour is seven, eight and nine mills an ounce. J? ive millions is said to be a low esti­ mate of the number of deaths in Shansi, and there is no prospect of an abate­ ment of the famine. Mothers ave driven HI ad by the cries of their starving chil­ dren, and in some cases have Juried tlioni &liv£ to cud tlisir suffsrisgs. Honesty is out of the question, every man being ready to lajr his hands on whatever will secure food. Beggars line the road, starving and dying. Many, from eating the roots of rushes and soft-stone, die, of constipation. At the City of Ping-Yang-Foo two carts are employed in removing the dead. One person counted 270 dead on the ro&d in three days. A letter received in this city a few days ago from Tien-tsin says that pro­ visions are about as scarce as they were during the winter. Chaff, weeds, roots and leaves are greedily consumed. In Shansi they not only eat the flesh of those who have died, but people have been killed to appease the cravings of hunger. Some to whom relief was given were so reduced that they had not strength to carrj* the food given them. Others had to be carried on the backs of friends to the place of distri­ bution. The flesh jof some was fright­ fully swollen and the skin cracked. In one family three had died within a few days, and the remaining six saw only death in the immediate future. Inmost of the houses there is one or more cases of typhus fever, and in several instances missionaries distributing provisions have contracted the fever and died. The missionaries are doing a great good, only two of them in one district assist­ ing twenty-four villages, 618 families, and 2,060 persons. They distribute five hundred "cash" (about one-tenth of a cent) to adults, and three hundred to children. Up to the present time more than $150,000 have been contributed for the relief of these staging millions, the largest part of which came from En­ gland, very little from America. The Chinese Government has been doing all it is able to do. The sufferers cannot all be reached by any human agency, for China is without railroads, and the distauee of' these regions irom the cities where provisions can be ob­ tained is so great that it is impossible for food in suifieieat abundance to reach them. Some have found their way to the large cities, and houses of refuge have been established for their benefit. Continual failures of crops, caused by drought, is the c&nse ot the famine. The land has produced nothing for over three years. There is said to be scarce* ly a tree standing in all the region of famine, they have been gradually re­ moved that the ground might be util­ ized. Very seldom has rain fallen, yet when there was a shower the sun at once drew the water back to the clouds, there being no shelter for the ground or roots of trees to retain moisture in the soil. In other words, Northern China, denuded of trees, is becoming a desert, and the swarming millions of inhabitants are perishing because they have blighted the earth that sustained them. We of this country might learn a valuable lesson from the sad experi­ ence of this stricken people, and take steps to prevent the further destruction of our forests.--Cincinnati Commercial. A Turkish Joan of Arc. THK last steamer from Trebizohd brought among her passengers Adile Hanum (the Turkish lady, Adile). She is one of the notable characters of the recent war. She is a native of Bagdad, and a Mohammedan, by religion. She is rich and enthusiastically devoted to her country and her faith, wears the yashmak (veil) and is as brave as she is fair. At the beginning of the war, without any previous announcement, she rode into the camp of Ghazi Mouk- tar Pasha, at the nead of fifty-six mounted troopers. At first the Turkish General declined to accept her services, but as she persisted, and he learned that she had great influence at Bagdad, he gave her the command of the force she had brought with her and of the re­ cruits she could induce to join her ranks. At this time Mouktar Pasha was awaiting the Russians on the Ar­ menian frontier. The weather grew cold and great were the privations and sufferings of his army in that moun­ tainous and elevated region. Most of the battles were fought on frozen ground and among the snow-covered crests of the Ararat range. She had a tent, but it afforded little shelter against the tempests of snow and sleet. The patience she exhibited under severe suffering and her hardihood seemed to nerve the Turkish soldiers and to make them more tolerant of the privations to which they were subjected. Her great­ est fault was her reckless ̂ courage. She was literally the bravest of the brave. When the word to charge was given, nothing could restrain her impetuosity. She was off like a streak of lightning, and it was often necessary to send rein­ forcements to release her from the dense mass of enemies by whom she was surrounded. Her scimetar flashed like a thunderbolt on all sides, and her troops, animated by her daring, fought like devils. She took part in the bat­ tles and sieges of Bayazid, Kars, Arda- han and Horum, and on two occasions was severely wounded. Of her fifty-six men, twenty were taken prisoners,' six­ teen killed, and twenty lost and unac­ counted for. She won the rank of Lieutenant, and was decorated with the Order of the Medjidie for her exploits. The Minister of War has received her as a guest. The Sultan has sent word that he desired to make her acquaint­ ance, and to present her to the Sultana and the ladies of the Imperial harem at Yildiz Kiosk. She is a handsome wo­ man, as far as one can judge of her features through her diaphanous yash­ mak, well-proportioned, erect in statue, and decidedly martial in her bearing. Although the Turks hold women in contempt for their physical and moral infirmity, there are no people who are more subject to their influence, or over whom women exert such absolute sway. Pretty mudh all the revolutions in the Empire have been started in the Sul­ tan's harem, and there is rarely a Min­ isterial crisis which has not its.origin in those sacred precincts. It is no won­ der that Adile Hanum found such ready and bold followers, or that she wielded such influence over the army, when these facts are taken into consideration. She is a Mohammedan of the old school, and as zealous for the propagation of the faith as Fatima, the wife of the Prophet.--Cor. Philadelphia Press. Fall Plowing. MOST of what is called fall plowing should be done in the summer. So soon as the small ̂ rain can be stacked the stubble should be plowed under, and with all the incipient weecb. Many farms in Iowa are becoming infested with the cockle-burrs and other nox­ ious weeds. It is useless to be vigil­ ant and watchful of these weeds in a plowed c^op, if they are allowed to go to seed in the stubble. The cockle- burt, ragrweed, fox-tail, etc., though cutoff in reaping, sprout again, and ripen seed the last of August', if not buried beyond, resurrection by a plow turning six or eight inches deep. The stubble and weeds, if turned under early, will thoroughly decompose, ready to aid the next year's crop. But if late, the process is only planting a foul crop of weed seed, to start out next spring before the crop which is sown or planted. There is no time to lose. In large fields the distant parts will make rapid strides to ripen weed seed before the plow reaches it. Ow­ ing to copious rains in most of the State, plowing can proceed now satis­ factorily. Beside the destruction of the weeds and decomposition of stubble, the plowing aids the fertility of the soil. Our ground is not plowed enough. When thrown up loose it absorbs more of the fertilizing gases of the atmos­ phere. The sun and rains dissolve and assimilate the mineral and atmospheric plant food. This is the great secret of fallowing. It is not rest, but frequent plowing which brings rich results.-- Iowa State Register. THE new Elevated Railroad in New York is mortgaged to the tune of $1,- 020,000 per mile. It is supposed this immense indebtedness is assumed for the purpose of preventing proper|y- holders from recovering any compen­ sation for damages. -- " Similia similibus curantur When people are thoroughly tired they can only become rested after they have retired.

RED ANTS.--A man who has been ex­ perimenting with red ants, first placed bits of cake in every room in his house. The ants soon swarmed upon the food and were treated to a turpen­ tine bath. When the cike no longer tempted them, bacon, cheese and dead grasshoppers were successfully used as traps, and at last the ants either went away or died. To MAKE good oatmeal cakes, work threa parts of fine oatmeal and one part of flour into a stiff paste with treacle (golden sirup), with the addition of a very small quantity of lard, and suffi­ cient baking-powder to impart the de­ sired lightness. Bake the paste in the form of small, flat-cakes much resem­ bling the ordinary 44 ginger-nuts" of the biscuit-baker. LEMON AND ORANGE TINCTURE.-- Never throw away lemon* or orange peel; cut the yellow outside off care­ fully, and put it into a tightly-corked bottle, with enough alcohol to cover it. Let it stand until the alcohol is a bright yellow, then pour it off, bottle it tight, and use it for flavoring when you make rice-pudding. Add lemon and alcohol as often as you have it, and you will always have a nice flavoring.--Ex­ change. OATMEAL AND SOUND TEETH.--Itiias long been noted in Scotland that in those districts where oatmeal and not refined flours are in general use we find children and adults with the best de­ veloped t^eth and jaws; and, so well recognized is the influence of oatmeal upon the teeth, that many practitioners order its use as an article of daily diet for childre nin cases where dentition is likely to be retarded or imperfect. KEROSENE SMOKE.--The most disa­ greeable thing about a house in sum­ mer is the kerosene smoke. The good wife, whenever she is not sewing or reading, turns the lamp down to save oil, and the lamp immediately smokes like a Turk or a fire-engine, and the mosquitoes come to enjoy the per­ fume. Don't do this if you want your parlor to be pleasant. If economy be necessary, put the light out altogether. --N. Y. Times. BLACK CURRANT JELLY.--TO every five quarts of currants, allow one and a half teacupfuls of water, and to every pint of juice, when strained, one pound of sugar. Remove the currants from the stalks, and put into an earthen dish, with the proportion of water given; cover the dish over tightly, and place in the oven for one hour and a naif; then squeeze out the juice through a coarse cloth bag, and to every pint of juice add one pound of sugar. Boil from one-half to three-quarters of an hour--skimming well; pour into jelly glasses and tie flown.--Chicago Journal. What the Birds Do for the Farmer. ON Thursday last, while at work near a wheat field, my attention was called to the fact that some of the wheat had been picked from the heads in certain parts of the field. As my neighbor seemed to think that the mischief was done by yellow-birds, I procured a gun and killed one of the supposed offend­ ers. Although interrupted while tak­ ing his breakfast, we found in his stom­ ach only three grains of wheat, and by actual count three hundred and fifty weevils.--Rural Home. Some two years ago, a person brought me a turtle dove to preserve. 44 Why did you shoot itP" I asked. 44 Because it, along with others, was found eating some fresh-sown pease," was the answer. I opened its crop to see if such was the' case, but instead of peas I found in it over 1000 seeds of what I am told are the seeds of weeds, principally dock. I too* them to a large retailer of seeds here, but could find none in his shop to which they corresponded. I could say much in the confirmation of the usefulness of our wild birds, but I will reserve any more remarks on this subject for an­ other time.--London Live Stock Jour­ nal. One day last season, as the barley in my fields was ripening, the black­ birds began to gather about it, and my father began to anathematize them as thieves and robbers, feeding upon what 4.1,™ A l A (4 Wflwr n I/IKCV U1U UUl OUW • If llj« Hiwj WUIOt said he, 44 in clouds from Naushon, and and all about us." Notwithstanding, I told him I was satisfied that they did more good than harm, and that they were welcome to their share. The harvest began, and as the mowers reached the middle of the field they found the stalks of grain very much stripped and cut up by the army worm. When the barley was down, they com­ menced to march out of the field in a compact_stream through the barway into the next one, and here we saw clearly what the blackbirds were after. They pounced upon them and de­ voured them by thousands, very ma­ terially lessening their numbers. The worms were so numerous that they could not destroy them all, but they materially lessened them and their power of mischief. All honor, then, to the blackbirds, which are usually coun­ ted mischievous, and are destroyed by the farmers like vermin.--Boston Ad­ vertiser. A friend of mine, an animal pre­ server, lived at Southwell, when a gar­ dener used'to bring him in daily a number of thrushes. At last he said to him, 44 Why do you keep bringing me in so many thrushes?" 41 Why," said the gardener, 14 they are eating all my strawberries." 441 don't believe it," said my friend; 441 will come in and see." So in he went accordingly, and found the gardener, with gun in hand, ready to shoot a bird that had just dropped in among the strawber­ ries. "There," said the gardener, 44 you see, don'tyou, what he is doing;" and suiting the action to the word, raised his gun to his shoulder to shoot. 44 Stop." said my friend,44 let us see if it is as you say;" when presently the bird rose up with something in its mouth and flew over the walls into the Adjoining grounds. 44 Now." said my friend, 44 let us go and see what he has f'ot." They *"'ent, and found the bird reaking a tail's shell. 44 There," said my frienf, 44 you see it is the snails that eat your strawberries, and not the birds;" as a" Ve careful examination subsequently ,„gOved. Need 1 say he killed no Monrushes °u that ac­ count. Th ' was, the summer be­ ing dry, the snails harbored there, the thrushes lound them, and were taking them as food for their young ones.-- Levi Lee, in London Live Stock Journal. The swallow, swift and nighthawk are the guardians of the atmosphere. They check the increase of insects that otherwise would overload it. Wood­ pecker, creepers and chicadees are the guardians of the trunks of trees. Warblers and flycatchers protect the foliage. Blackbirds, crows, thrushes and larks protect the surface of the soil. Snipe and woodcock protect the soil under the surface. Each tribe has its respective duties to perform in the economy of Nature, ana it is an un­ doubted fact that if birds were all swept off the face of the earth man could not live upon it, vegetation would wither and die, insects would become so numerous that no living being could withstand their attacks. The whole­ sale destruction occasioned by grass­ hoppers, which have devastated the West, is to a great extent, perhaps, caused by the thinning out of the birds, siiph as grouse, prairie-hens, etc., which feed upon them. The great and inestimable service done to the farmer, gardener and florist by the birds is only being known by sad expe­ rience. Spare the birds and save the fruit; the little corn and fruit taken by them is more than compensated by the quantities of noxious insects they de­ stroy. The long-persecuted crow has been found, by actual experience, to do more good by the quantities of grubs and insects he devours, than the harm he does in all the grains of corn he pulls up. He, after all, is rather a friend than an enemy to the farmer.--St. John (JV. £.) Telegraph. Household Cares. IF the vote of women could be taken on the question of? housekeeping, it would be a matter of great surprise to men to learn the result. The business as it is conducted at present would be voted out of existence, or, failing in that, the voice of the majority would be for boarding. The work of the household has increased greatly within a quarter of a century, and the servant of the period is not an improvement upon the typical one of the past. The luxuries which on§ by one have come to women, the multitudinous things that are required to make homes at­ tractive, and the modern houses which have their mountainous stairs to weary weak backs, are all things which have combined to make housekeeping a drudgery. Time and strength are con­ sumed while the routine work is being performed, and the intelligent minds of American women rebel constantly. "What can be done? Break up homes, and live in those modern caravansaries | --hotels? Not so. The remedy lies in simplifying home life; in leaving out of houses the endless traps that are hard to keep clean, and harder still to make, and by putting in homes noth­ ing too good for hard usage. Women need to know so much that they do not know, and cannot while they worry and fret over lambrequins and pillow-shams, tidies and Hamburg borders on clothing, that it is discour­ aging to try to fight the matter at all. Ihey are trying to do their best, work­ ing early and late, saving here and spending there, judiciously as they hope, yet never realizing anv blessing for themselves or others. What is a nice parlor or a fine dinner to a visitor if the hostess is a dull, worn-out per­ son P The guest who is bidden to en­ joy such hospitality is cheated out of better company at home, and deserves an apology rather than offer thanks for such attentions as are extended. House­ wives do not emancipate themselves from the thralldom put upon them by a variety of conditions. In the first place, their homes are not adapted to housekeeping. Men and not women plan houses, and the sole idea in view in building them is to get the largest number on the small­ est possible space. Then women having inconveniences of this kind to start with make every effort to over­ come them by furnishings. Fashion has to be consulted in this latter mat­ ter, and upholstered articles that get soiled and fs.de out are bought when the family purse cannot afford it. Nice china or "glass is purchased when ignor­ ant or careless help will make quick work of it; and the company rooms are furnished as richly as possible, when in fact the social circle in which the fam ily move is so limited that a si room would answer every purpose cheap carpets, and stone-ware, and plain clothing should be fashionable for all people, how ooon the burdens would drop away from the shoulders of the majority of the housekeepers. How soon would the fault-finding and com­ plaining cease, and the dull women be­ come intelligent, interested members of the family circle. Suppose the pil- low-cases have no shams; it would be all the better for the home-life of homes. Shams should be unknown in them any way, and real pillow-cases would give more satisfaction. Then sound com­ mon sense should save women from wasting time on ruflles and fallals that add nothing but wrinkles to all brows. Households, as they are now, seem to be run for the benefit of lookers-on rather than the comfort of inmates, and the result is a generally dissatisfied army of housekeepers. It is not amaz­ ing that they are dissatisfied, for that argues appreciation of uncongenial work, and those who are alive to the fact that their tasks hurt them in a spiritual sense have one hope of saving themselves. Simplify life--simplify life; this is the way through which women may hope to rise to an estate wherein they will find themselves serene and patient, honest and true. It were worth all of lite to live if the best half of humanity could be lifted out of drudgery of a domestic kind and placed where the home would be what the Di­ vine Power designed it should be, a temple where " Sin and evils cease. And only rest and pence i round." iitting- >se. If Continually are 1 --N. T. Weekly. Indigent! on. The mafn cause of nervousness is indiges­ tion, and that is caused by weakness of the stomach.
