Pledged but to Truth, to Liberty and Law; No Favors Win us and no Fear Shall Awe." M'HENRY, ILLINOIS, WEDNESDAY, JUNE 16, 1897 DR. WALTER C. BESLEY, DENTIST WEST McHENRV. Office a' Geo. W.Besley'a I. Drugstore, | Examinations free Pillsbury & Wasi burn's Famitm Railways In India. There still remains .to be considered what must be regarded as the main problem in dealing jwith all famines, and that is the conveyance of the neces­ sary amount of supplies to the districts where they are required. Hitherto it has been the impossibility of bringing food within reach of the starring mul­ titudes that has caused so much destruo- • tion to human life during previous fam­ ines, for it is evident th^t animal trans­ port can - only convey the necessary pro­ visions a very short distance from the centers of supply, inasmuch as the beasts of burden, after a certain amount of travel, will themselves have con­ sumed their entire load The great stand by under such circumstances is railway communication, for without it the most strenuous efforts of human en­ ergy and human ingenuity will prove of no avail when, as is now the case, the desolated area comprises a belt ex­ tending 1,000 miles in one direction and 500 in the other. Thanks to the prescience of the Indian' government and to the sagacious recommendations of General Straehey's commission, durg­ ing the last 20 years a number of what are called "famine railways" have been completed. These railways are known in India as "famine railways" because they have purposely been laid down not where there was a prospect of opening the country to remunerative traffic or where a paying dividend could be ex­ pected, but through those districts where previous experience and meteor­ ological observations have indicated that the rainfall is most frequently scanty and capricious. Already 5,000 miles of these special lines are in full working order, and more are in course of construction. As a consequence there are now no considerable districts in In­ dia liable to the visitations of famine where communications by rail have not been fairly provided.--Marquis of Duf- ferin and Ava in North American Re­ view. Queer. Color Names. People wear vesuvius red now, and elephant's breath, london.smoke, tabac, crushed raspberry and strawberry and robin's egg blue and other shades, but fashionable folks of old wore colors with names more odd sounding stilL Innocent infant was once a favorite col­ or, and captain's glory, also a sad drab color known as penitent hermit. A gown of caterpillar brown might be adorned with trimmings of canary tail. A strong gray, blended with purple, was dubbed lively flea, and, whereas there is now break of day pinks, milli­ ners of a century ago trimmed poke bonnets with ruchings of thought of the beloved one and quillings of doe's belly. A court beauty in the time Henry IV of France affected a color known as mortal sin, and it oame to be the rage forthwith, and common harm was an­ other popular fancy for stomachers and petticoats. One subtle, barely hinted at shade was christened stifled sigh. Dead alive was another anomalous color greatly in favor in Marie Antoinette's time, most of these out of the way and rather un­ decided shades being chosen by women whose dainty coloring needed only an unobtrusive background to bring it into relief.--New York Sun.
