HORRORS OF A FAMINE.
A Terrible Picture of the SntTerlnara of
the If auras of BrasJJ, .
The United States consul at Pcrnani'
buco, Brazil, writes to the assistant
secretary of state, Bivlnjr details of the
terrible suffering in Northern Brazil,
caused by the protracted secca or
drought. He says: Two noted seccas
prevailed during the years of 1825 and
1845, but I doubt whether there has
ever been here or elsewhere, In the his
tory of the world, a famine so fatal in
effects in proportion to the population
as this of Ceara. Those of India and
China, it must be considered, occurring
in crowded countries, where the people
are counted by millions, and not by
thousands like the Cearenses. Two
yenrs and a half ago, when the secca
commenced; the province of Ceara num
bered 900,000 inhabitants ; out of these
500,000 have died of disease and starva
tion. The secca began in the summer of
1876, and continued to the close of the
year 1678, lasting for thirty months ; no
rain having fallen during the whole two
years and a half, and the once fertile
and luxuriant Sertao, where the farms
and villages prospered in peace and
plenty, now presents the appearance of
a vast blackened desert, burnt over by
fire.
In November of 1876, after the "Easti
vete" or summer sleep, when the
"Chuvas de Ciyu3," or fruit rains, failed
to appear, the people did not worry, as
their acueles, or ponds, were not ex
hausted, a..d they looked confidently
forward to the winter tains to set every
thing right. But these never came, and,
as the dry spring advanced, sad account
began to come eastward of poverty and
suffering among the poor. Later on, as
the burning uummer slowly passed,
bringing no November showers, and an
other January went by without rain,
there came appalling news of famine,
disease, dead cuttle, and of dying and
despairing people.
Long penitential processions were
formed and the miserable Sertanejos
beat, cut, nnd otherwise punished them
selves to appease an offended Deity.
But the pitiless secca sti.l continued,
threatening everything and everybody
with inevitable destruction.
The wretched people were now re
duced to the necessity of eating roots,
cotton pods, the Mucuma bean, which
produces dropsy, lizards, dogs, cats,
rats, roaches, any living or dead thing
capable of affording sustenance; and in
some instances they were even goaded
to cannibalism by the pangs of hunger.
To increase the unimaginable hor
rors of the situation, the smallpox
broke out among the Sertanejos and be
came epidemic; typhus and other fevers
were raging, and in February and
March of 1878 the mortality became
frigntful.
The cattle were now all dead, the
rivers dried up, and there being no rail
roads or other communications by
which provisions could reach the Ser
tao, the inhabitants, dreading whole
sale starvntion, abandoned it altogether,
and the whole torrent of life swept sea
ward, Ceara, Parahyba, An caty, Baturite
all the towns along the coast were now
alive with suffering huminity; ajte,
youth, men, women and children, all
famine stricken, coming in from the
country by thousands upon thousands.
The city of Ceara, with 25.00O inhabi
tants of its own, received over 90,000
Sertamjos. Impossitle to provide for

Why Young ChildrenTRcad Trash,
Mr. Charles Dudlev Warner di
ing the ouestion of children's rpnrlini
in the Chrisinn Union calls attention to
the comparatively small number of per
sons, even in this country, who read.
"We boast." he says, "about the circu
lation ot our newspapers. The best of
inem are daily marvelsof news, of infor
mation, of miscellaneous reading, of en-
.eruiiniuenc 01 an sorts, xney are the
cheapest things manufactured in modern
days. Considering the capital in brains,
ministry ana money put into every
number, they ave at their price the won
der ot our civilization. And yet the
most wonderful thing about them to uie
is the smallness of their circulation com
pared to the population. Take such a
center ns New lork, with a compact
population of nearly two millions, and
radiating lines of quick distribution
tnat enable the newspapers within
few hours t? reach millions more, and
set against this the actual circulation ol
tneiuree or lour commanding journals.
it u amere Dagateile.
otiu mere are many newspapers,
auuu large proportion ol tne population
sees one every day that is, of the city
population; but the number of people
who master tne contents ol a daily
newspaper is not large. Readers pick
uul oi mem tne items oi business or
amusement or politics that interest
them. And it is hardly fair to credit
our peonle with the habit of reading be
cause they glance at the dailv news-
papers, or because in tne country they
are in the habit of spreading the excel
lent weeklies over their faces to keep
the flies from disturbing their Sunday
nap. i oeneve mat tne majority ot busi
ness men read a book very rarely ; the
majority of young men in business and
in society I fancy read little they do
not give their evenings to reading, and
are not apt to take up a book unless it
becomes the talk of society. People who
spena a great deal ot money on dress, on
dinners, on amusements, would think it
extravagant to buy a book, and if one is
commended to them they will wait till
they can borrow it or get it from the
library. They do not hesitate two min
utes about an ordinary two-dollar din
ner, but they will wait months to bor
row a fifty-cent book."
He concludes that "one of the reasons
wiiy the young who read at all read
nothing but trash, as they are said to
do, is Decause their parents, or older
persons about them, either have not the
habit of rt ading or they also read trash.
In such households as I have described,
where the elders go about declaring that
there is nothing to read, the children
catch the tone and think there is noth
ing to read that is, nothing except the
latest story book or the picture-paper.
In a lower strata ol society, where the
mother has neither time nor inclination
to read anything, and the father pores
over the Police Gazette, it is quite natural
that his son should take the Boy's Own
story-paper about ruffians and burglars.
The short of it is that the children in
this country follow their elders. And I
suspect that the vast majority of people
care little for reading, except as it fur
nishes them a smattering of news or
gives them a temporary excitement."

turn to about the same place in the

If there is any truth in the following
it is important: A statement come3 from
South America that a singular nrootrtv
of tomato leaves has been discovered by
a fruit-grower. Having cut down sotuc
tomato vines he used them as a mulch
around his reach trees. He soon dis
covered that the curculio. which was
des:roying his fruit, had abandoned the
trees surrounded by the tomato vinc3.
Following up this accidental discovery,
tlio free use of tomato vines proved a
P rfect protection, not onlv against the
curculio, but other noxious insects.
The American Cultivator savs it mav
be a comparatively slow operation to
milk one cow in live minutes, while on
the other hand ten minutes time micht
be called a quick operation in milking
another. Anv person whose hand is at
all sensitive to the touch will, if he
forces the milk down to the end of the

milk rushing back, meantime the cow
showing the movement to be one of
pain. Always milk so that the operation
shall be a pleasant one to the docile ani
mal, affording her relief in the careful
emptying of a full bag ol its contents.
Where care and gentleness are the rule

THE EL DORADO OF COLORADO.
The Wonitrrfnl Development of the
ttnnnteon Conntrr.
A brief history of the earliest discov
eries of the Gunnison country must
prove of interest. Eight years ago
George and Lewis Waite, unsophisti
cated Yankees, began prospecting for
minerals in the Rocky mountain region
of Colorado. They sloped over the
range with pack mules, and nosed
around the d'vide in Lake county, fifty
miles southwest of Fairplay. In the
rough country near the head ot the
Gunnison river they found abandoned
surface diggings, evidently made iu
1800, during the craze caused by reported
rich discoveries at the head of the Ar
kansas. Near these surface diggings
they found a vein ol silver that cropped
to the surface above the bed of a small
creek. It ran directly through the
mountain. The brothers returned to
Denver with specimens of the ore, which
were analyzed by Prof. Hill, then of
Black Hawk. They contained both
silver and gold in good paying quanti
ties. Satished that they had struck a
fortune the Yankees laid in fresh sup
plies and returned to the Gunnison
country. They located themselves on
the Saguache and Cottonwood S'lurs. in
the heart ol the Rocky mountains
Snowman's peak, Crystal mountain, So
per's peak, Galena. Treasure, and Gothic
mountain, and the Crested butters reared
their snowy heads above them, and nu
merous mountain torrents seamed the
country below with rocky defiles. The
best of timber covered the mountains,
and grass in profusion grew in the little
valleys.
The Yankees began to work on a tun
nel near the top ot nn elevation called
Whopper mountain. The hill was cut
off fr.tm a similar eievation by a creek,
nnd the vein was afterward discovered
in the opposite hill. It was staked off
under the name of the Index. A third
location called the Teller was afterward
made on .Maroon creek, threo miles
away.
For six ye.irs these Yankees tunneled
Whopper mountain, tumbling the ore
on dumps, and awaiting the develop
ment ol the country. Occasionally a
pack mulo, laden with ore for nssays
was driven to Denver, returning with
much needed supplies. Supplies were
also got from Alamosa and Canyon City.
It would not, however, pay to pack the
ore to the Denver reduction works by
mule, nnd at times the brothers were
forced to abandon their claims through
lack of sustenance. They had started in
with a little capital, but it had melted
away before the end of the second win
ter. That spring George and Lewis went
to Fairplay nnd worked in the mines at
that place, scrupulously saving their
wages. Belore winter they invested
their surplus earninss in supplies, and
returned to their labor on the Whopper.
They made no secret r-f their discoveries,
but old prospectors called them two
"tender feet" and laughed them to scorn.
The brothers worked manfully ht their
tunnel, leaving it for other work when
ever necessity compelled them so to
do. The Leadville excitement sprang
up about fifty miles east of them, but
they remained at the Whopper, regard
less of the wonderful stories that reached
them. Adventurers poured into Lead
ville like water into a cistern. The cis
tern was overtlooded, and in the fall of
1878 a very little of the overflow reached
the two Yankees. Surprising discov
eries were made, and witli the opening
of the summer of 1879 the country was
flooded with prospectors. The moun
tains were pitted before fall like men
who had suffered from smallpox. It is
estimated that nexrly 18,000 prospectors
visited the Gunnison country before the
first fall of snow. Their marvelous tales
intensified the excitement to an unusnl
degree. Men are peuetntil'ig the coun

as lollows: Once beyond the offices the
visitor descends a steep stairway to find
himself in a pitwe somewhat respiiihlins-
a round house for locomotives. Here is
a circular space large enough to hold
4,000 or 5,000 people. It is heated by
coal stoves, well supplied with benches,
and lias every convenience demanded by
people whose stay is seldom more than
two days. Two thousand emigrants
were sheltered there the day I walked
down among them. They were Swedes,
Danes, Poles, Germans, Irish, French
men and Englishmen, and over in one
corner a group of Laplanders nibbled at
luncheon ano talked among themselves.
In one corner was a family of real old
Dutch stock. Ihe grandfather and
grandmother wire there with their
black pipes and wooden shoes, the father
and mother with their fat. ruddv cheeks
and coarse woolen garments, and eight
children were sleeping on the benches,
or looking from the windows. Three
generations were there in one group, and
the old people looked hearty enough to
feel sure of a dozen years more ot life.
The interpreter sooke a few nWsnnt.
woras to the lamer to draw him out.
and here was his simple story:
"I am a little bit alraid, though I
don't let the old folks know it. Vvi.rv.
thing is veiy strange to us here. I
anow tins is not a prison, nut 1 am not
quite s-itisiied about it. We are going
to a country called Brasky (Nebraska),
where some of my old neighbors have
settled. I have bee i wanting to come
for sever il years, but father thought we
would be fooled. H'i can't see how one
man car- have so much land over here.
We don't know how vou cetalonir with
out a king. How is it that your men do
not have to eo in the army unless they
want to? Everything goes in such a
hurry over here that I am afraid. 1
have money to buy land, but I'm afraid
it won't grow cabbages like our ground.
My old friends in Brasky wrote mo that
you have no storks hero. I am sorry
for this. I can say New York and
steamboat' in English, and I shall
soon learn to talk the language. You
seo my old mother is crying. She has
three children buried near our old home,
and she is afraid she will never see their
graves again."
The Reign of Terror In Russia.
A St. Petersburg correspondent
writes: Not a year ago and the emperor
was the father of his people, drivinir
along in a single sledge or droschky,
just like any other person, taking his
chance of even a tumble over the tram
way rails, and not only happy but safe
in the midst of his subjects. How the
picture has changed. Not many days
ago I was pushed rudely on ono side to
make room for a crowd of cavalry who
eame rushing by at more than the pace
of the wind, and in the center of which
rides the czar at a gallop. The streets
are slippery with partly melted ice and
snow, the crowds and the vehicles make
the road difficult of rapid transit, and
yet on rushes the cortege, for the great
wiine czar must not oe seen lor more
than an instant lest he should be killed.
Ana then following him comes, at an
equally impetuous rush, Melikoff, the
dictator, accompanied also by his guard.
Adam Walker killed himself at Au
rora, 111., because he had been sentenced
to imprisonment, and on the very same
day Marcus Boppe. a tramp, committed
suicide at Lancaster, Pa., because a
magistrals refused to send aim to prison. I
How Jfurses Are Trained.
lhere are three great training-school
Tor nurses in New York city, at Belle
vue the Charity and the New York hos
pitals. At Belfevue nine wards of the
hospital are nssicned to the use of the
school. The course of training is a
thorough one. Besides bedside instruc
tion from the house staff and lectures
from the surgeons and physicians on
points connected with the care of the
sick, lessons in bandaging nnd the cook
ing of invalid fare are given, and con
stant practice in the nursing of surgical
and medical cases is kept up. The board,
lodging and washing of nurses are pro
vided. Two years is the term of service,
the first being devoted to training and
the second to practical nursing, either as
head nurses or as attendants to private
cases outside the hospital. Ten dollars
a month is paid the first and sixteen dol
lars the second year. The charges for
outside nursing goto the hospital, which
i- always ready to furnish private inva
lids with nurses on reasonable terms.
The Charity hospital school is under
the authority of the commissioners of
charities and correction. The instruc
tion is in special forms of medical and
surgical nursing, the term ol tuition the
same as that at Bellevue, and the pay ten
to fifteen dollars a month, with board
and washing. Pupils must be over
twenty and under thirty-five years old,
and must present with their applications
for instruction certificates of moral and
physical soundness from a responsible
citizen and a doctor. Services in the
ivnrds of the hospital nnd the lying-in
wards of the Maternity hospital, and
lectures on the various branches of nurs
ing, form the curriculum. Frequent ex
aminations are held by the chief of staff
of Charity hospital. At the expiration
of the two years diplomas lire given to
those qualified.
t The same course of practical instruc
tion, extending over the same length of
time, is given at the New York hospital.
There are, too, elementary lessons in
anatomy, physiology and hygiene- One
mont j of eacli year may be spent in the
kitchen and ono in the laundry. The in
struction in the kitchen consists of plain
cooking and all the varieties of special
diet, from gruels up. That in the laun
dry comprises plain and fancy washing
and ironing. Competent chiefs in each
department net as tutors. At the end o(
the first year a second class is formed,
and the nurses of the first class become
heads of the wards for next year. An
examination and diploma end the term.
The classes are limited to twelve stu
dents each, of from twenty to thirty
years old, in good health nnd with
a fair English education. Certificates of
character arealsoin rule. Applications
of admission to the New York hospital
school are made to the board. The lady
superintendent has charge of that de
partment for Bellevue, and chief of staff
of the Charity hospital passes on appli
cants fort hut course, whom, on approval,
ha turns over to the board of commis
sioners for final endorsement. Medical
men speak in the highest terms of these
schools and their system of instructions,
and they are said to have done incalcul
able good in raising what was up to a
few years ago a mere trade to the level
ol an honorable and useful business, or
rather profession.
Two Rig Swindlers.
A singular story of wholesale swin
dling and inconceivable credulity comes
from Rome. About a year ago, a young
and beautiful wo ran, believed to be an
American, and credited wiih the posses
sion of an enormous fortune, arrived in
t he Italian capital, accompanied by
a young man belonging to oue of the
oldest and most distinguished Roman
families, and by a monkey. She hnd no
other traveling companions. Shortly
alter her arrival she was married to the
young aristoornt, whoso mi mo the Ital
ian papers conceal under the title of
Signor X. The couple went upon a
wedding tour, nnd spent money with
lavish hands. They selected the city of
Portici for their home, saying that they
wished to live in retirement while await
ing the completion of madame's twenty,
fifth year, when she would come into
fuil possession of her fortuncand would
receive six millions of dollars. Every
one was rendy to give credit to such a
great heiress. A Roman gentleman, in
whose villa the couple lodged, loaned
them $10,000, and guaranteed payment
for 830,000 worth of jewelry, which
tlicy bought in Naples. They made
debts among the Neapolitan merchants
and bankers to the amount of 8140.000.
In Rome they victimized the storekeep
ers heavily for diamonds, corals, costly
furs and otlfer portable articles of high
price. Nothing seemed too costly, pro
vided they could get credit for it. They
even had tlio handles of parasols and
umbrellas set with precious stones.
They contracted to buy the Villa Mira
tion for $140,000, bought seven carriages
and forty horses, and ordered a private
railway car ! nd a vacht. Within ay oar
they managed to make debts to the ex
tent of over half a million of dollars.
The date fixed for payment was in all
cases the llrst of March. In Februarv
the couple went to Paris and then to
Jyondon, a movement that seems to iiave
excited no suspicion among their credi -ors;
but on the first of March news
came to Rome that they had gone to
America, taking with them an immense
quantity of baggage. A few days later
a banker in Koine receivea a letter irom
the husband saying that the will mak
ing his wife a rich heiress had been sot
aside, and that they had gone to Amer
ica, hoping with perseverance and mile
fatigablo effort to regain the position
they had occupied in i he world.
A $2.50 Fight.
A Carson City paper reports Ihe fol
lowing lively law proceedings: Yester
day attern on a young man came into
Justice Gary's court-room, with the rim
of his hat drawn down over his eyes,
and lvmarked: "Do vou know me?"
" I think." replied the court, meeklv.
" that you are the chap I sentenced for
stealing about a year ago."
'that's just the hairpin 1 am," re
plied the other, "and here's $20 for my
fine."
" But you served your term in jail,"
laid the judge, "and owe no tine."
"That's all right, old bov: but I'm
about to commit an assault and battery,
and I guess I'll settle now. You're the
man I propose to lick."
"Oh, that s il," reiomed the court.

in, and we'll call it square."
The youiig man advanced to the court
and let out his left. The judge ducked
his head and, rising up, lifted the in
truder in tiie eve with a right-handed
and sent him over against the wall. In
a moment the court w is climbing a 1
over tha man, and in about three min
utes his lace was hardly recognizable.
The man begged the court to let up,
which he finally did. As the fellow was
about to go out Gary went after him
with: "See here, young man, I don't
think the fighting you did ought to be
assessed at any more than $2.60 here's
$17 50 in chance. I ain't charging you
anything for fighting, but just for "my
time. Next time I won't charge you a
cent." The rough took the change and

The incidents occurring in Colorado
very-i'ay lile fully demonstrates the
uncertainty of property and that hag
gard want may take wings and fly away
when least expected to do so. A short
time ago a young fellow in his teens, and
a nobby air, visited one of the first-class
jewelry stores in Denver, and selecting
an elegant gold watch and costly cha n,
stepped to the desk and carelessly drew
his check for the amount. The jeweler
somewhat dubiously examined the
check.remarking that he supposed it was
all right, although he did not know the
customer. "Why. yes, you know me,"
exclaimed the young man; "my father
used to do your washing, t.ut six months
ago he went to Leadville, where he dis
covered a mine, a-id has sold it for
$50,000." The jeweler then remembered
the boy, whose statement was perfectly
true.
