I INDIA’S STARNING EOPLPE. A Vivid Pictures of the Suffering in the Famine Districts. Every now and. then in some news- paper or magazine, little known to the . general public, one comes across pass- ‘ ages which bring vividly before the mind the almost indescribable horrors of the Indian famine. Here are some passages from an article in the Indina ‘ Magazine written by A. Rogers and describing what he saw recently in an out-ofâ€"the-way part of India. ~ "Numbers of 'women, with children .at their breasts vainly striving to draw a little nourishment, surrounded me with such cries as: ‘Saheb, Ihavo had no food for two days, and have no milk left for my child; Saheb, I have no food for myself; how can I produce nourishment for my starving child 1’ Children, with a blank look of stupe- faction through actual hunger, sat sat naked on the ground, and helped each other in searching for and scrap. ing up grass seed from the dry sand. I saw one boy, not 8years old, who was the sole provider for himself and two younger ones. The ribs of all could be distinctly traced on their bodies, . while their legs and arms were like dried-up pieces of stick. One blind man, terribly emaciated, was led to my tent every day by a stick held by a naked little girl of about 4 years of ago. Another, a miserable old we. man, with her gray hair floating in the wind, and with no clothing but a lion cloth of rags, with her bones al- most protruding through her skin, came and stood before the tent in a dazed state, and could not understand .what I said to her in her own lan- guage, but saw a small silver coin I pressed into her hand, and looking up into my eyes threw her arms round my neck, and with her head leaning on my chest subbed aloud. ' "I had to shut my tent doors down to prevent them really mobblin-g me in their despair, and, if I (put my hand out to drOp a coin into some4bne’s who see-med in a more pitiable statel I than others, fifty more hands" were thrust through the opening, and- I had to close every hand I put some- thing into for fear the money should be snatched out of it by another starving wretch, as frequently hap- boned. “And yet the patience of the poor people was Wonderful. When I was not actually giving away money they would sit silent for hours looking piteâ€" ously at the tent to see if I showed no signs of coming out or beckoning to any of the worst cases to come for-i ward, “The weather was bitterly cold in the mornings, and they sat in the cold wind shivering with their naked bodies till the sun warmed them. May I be preserved from seeing such scenes of misery again!” ' â€"+~â€"â€". NOMORE “ HELLOCENTRAL" The Telephone Ilcll Will lie Abolislled in in England and Ill; Place Taken by an Elecn-ic Light. ‘ The National Telephone Company of England prcposes to introduce into their metropolitan system an entire.- ly new method “ringing-up.” Under this new method the electric bells at the exchange end of the sub. scriber’s wire will be done away ‘with, and small electric glow lamps used in their stead. These will be so arrang. ed that the moment the subscriber lifts the receiver from the switch! the Lamp will be alight at the exchange, afle attention of the operator called without the subscriber having to literally “ringâ€"up.” When the operator at the exchange has switched the caller on to hte required number, the latter’s call-light begins to glow, and the caller’s light dies out, and remains so as long as the conversation is in progress. By this means the exchange opera. tor can tell without interrupting the speakers when their conversation is over. {I‘th new system has been success- fully tried by the National Telephone Company on the trunk lines with Scotâ€" land, and was inaugurated at Bristol an Whit'Momiay for the benefit 01' lOcal subscribers. This. system of "ringing-up” is to be nffice telephones. at young Munniman? Sally Gayâ€"Be- amployed on the new British post--l cause he is 59°11 5‘ g°°d catch-19”" sume.
