> RUSSIA’S FAMINE.
What a Correspondent Saw in
the Province of Kazan.
The Entire Population in a
A, State of Pauperism,
A special correspondent who is
traveling iu the famine districts of
Russia writes from Kazan as follows:
Tho Province of Kazan lias a popu¬
lation of 2,100,000. Of this total
about 300,000 represent the urban
population, leaving 1,800,000, of
whom the Zemstov is feeding about
800,000 and my committee 400,000.
IVe have had much trouble in getting
at the truth of tilings hero. The
peasantry, especially the Tartars, are
a lazy lot anil arc only too glad to
nvail themselves of aid. Practically
the entire population is in a stato of
pauperism. Some of tho villages aro
snowed up, tho peasants have eaten
their horses, and lliero is no getting
in or out. There are villages com¬
pletely cut off from all communica¬
tion and wo cannot tell what is going
on there.
Tho Tartar population presents the
most serious difficulties. Their fatal¬
ism is the great obstaclo to any at¬
tempt to stir them to activity. When
they have money thoy. spend it on
dress and pretty trinkets and leave the
future to take care of itself. Meat is
the staple food. The Tartars receive
horse flesh; (ho Cnristiaiis, who will
not cat it, get other meat. Altogether
the town of Kazan feeds daily at free
public dinner tables as many ns 6000
people. The question that is giving
me the most uneasiness at piresent is
the supply of horses. The Tartars
liavo eaten theirs and the horses of
(he other peasantry have mostly been
killed for their hides. Tho govern¬
ment is going to grant 10,000 horses
to the province, but that will be very
it tie.
M. Nclchayeff has been sent to in¬
spect Kazan because the Governor re¬
fused to admit that such a thing as a
famine could occur in his province.
The Minister of the Interior had sent
to accompany Mnltzcfl an olfical from
his department,and there wero besides
two young gentlemen and two doc¬
tors attached to the mission. M.
Notclmyctr M dlzcff signalized his ad¬
vent by giving 20,000 roubles out of
his private means towards tho relief
of tin: distressed. An epidemic of
typhoid fever was raging. Peasants
were being brought in in cart loads.
The hospitals wore full. In all di¬
rections the most horrible sights met
tho eye. The destitution of the peo¬
ple is something terriblo and the
streets are tilled with beggars.
Considerab/c excitement was caused
recently by the trial of a young man
for an attempt to murder tho gover-
nor. This deluded vouth had heard
stories of the terrible privation and
suffering which existed and knew that
tho Governor had refused to acknowl-
edge , ,, the existence . , ot - famine. , In ,
a
order, ns lie . declared, , , , to . attract . . public ,
attention to „ the stato . , of . afiairs ... . this .
voting “ fanatic , . went , . into , .. the audience
chamber of ... the Governor , to present ,
a petition. As tho Governor held out
hi. hand to take the document the
young man fired a revolver ’at him,
without doing him anv injury aud
without intending to do him any, as
he avers. Tho prisoner has been
sentenced to penal servitude in the
mines of Siberia, but ha. appealed.
rp. The ease . has i been hushed l u«i up as much i
as possible, ... but «... tho supposed , attempt
on the Governor’s . > 't life t served i its -a pur-
pose, and the faimuc in Kazan was
*
officially acknowledged.
The Largest “Flume.”
The flume which conveys the water
from the mountains to the reservoir in
San Diego, Cal., is said, by those who
know whereof they speak, to be the
largest a:ul longest thing of the kind
in the world. It is thirty-live miles
long and is composed almost wholly
of redwood. In its course this mon¬
ster flams crosses 316 streams and
cations on trestles, the* longest of
which is 1700 feet and S5 feet high,
lit constructing this trestle 260,000
feet of boards and timbers were used.
It is known as tho Los (Jochos trestle.
The Sweetwater trestle, the second
longest, is 1200 feet long and 86 feet
high. The timbers used in them were
put together oil the ground and
raised to their present position by
horse power.
Besides its many trestles this flume
pnsscs through eight tunnels, the
longest of these being 2100 feet in
length. Tlio tunnels are each 6x8
in size, with convexod roofs.
Each mile of the flame required on
su averago 250,000 feet of lumber and
umbers . , of j all |, | kinds, • , *i that *. used , in - con- -
itructmg 4l tho waterbox . itself • ,r i being of .
-edwood two inches thick.
Budding a water-tight box thirty-
ive miles long over fathomless
:l,asms and through heart, of moan-
ains is a gigantic undertaking, which
nany believed cou d never be accom-
jltshed. The result lias proved dif-
.ereut. [St. Louis Republic.

FOR FARM AND GARD”S*
BEAKS von HORSES.
There is no bettor food for horses
thau beans. They contain more nortf-
ishmont than oats; anil in Spain, Italy
and in somo parts of Austria horses
aro fed on beans regularly, as wo feed
our stock on corn. Tho use of beans
for horsos and cattle produces a heaii-
tiful, soft, sleek coat; the animals like
(lie beans bolter than they do any
oilier form of diet, can do more work
and gain more flesh while doing it
(bun If fed on any other sort of food.

Turkovs should not be allowed to
brood the first litter. Their eggs are
too valuable early in tho season to
stop tlicir production by incubation.
If kept from setting tho lien turkey
will, after a few days, lay a second
litter, and (lie process may with old
lieu turkeys reach a third setting, if
set under hens nine eggs aro enough,
us the egg is larger than a lien's egg,
and tlio voting in it are easily killed
by a little exposure to the cold. Com¬
mon lions make belter mothers for
young turkeys than those of their own
kind. The latter wander too far and
do not keep quiet while the dew is on
the grass, thus draggling their voting
and soon killing most of them.—

HANDLlNfi Hi err.
Fruit, when in its natural stntc on
the tree or vine, writes A. I’. Reed, is
always kept at a comparatively cool
temperature, in over so hot weather.
This result is brought about by evapo¬
ration, not only from the surface of
the fruit lint from (he leaf surface to
which the moisture comes from the
tools. As soon as tlio fruit leaves
the tree or vine, or ns soon ns it is
dead ripe, it no longer receives this
supply, but takes the temperature of-
tlio atmosphere, and ripens or decays’
according to its condition, at once.
Reasoning from this understanding
of the case, I would suggest that cold
storage is demanded immediately for
all fruits plucked when the atmos¬
phere is wiirin, which it is desirable to
keep any length of time. A hot sun
should strike it us little as possible if
we would have it reach market in the
best condition, or in a condition to
please. Fruit plucked wlion but half-
grown ntay often bo ripened in n
a warm place, but the same fruit
could bo kept unchanged in cold stor-
ago a great length of time. — [Massa-

who lived several centuries before the

very broad bend, eyes black and open,

PE.VS AS ailKKP FOOD.
There is no better sliccp food Ilian
peas, and as about ns many peas inn
bo grown on an acre, if mixed— so as
to be lmlf oats as when grown alone,
and ns the oats will, in ordinary
years, bold tho peas tip so they can
be cut with a mower, it is better to
mix them in the proportion of two
bushels of the small Canada field pea
to one bushel of oats, choosing a
kind of oats with pretty still straw,
The best way to prepare the ground
and sow tho peas is to use good land.
Corn stubble, if one lias it, is best,
but if sod ground is used have it fall-
plowed, or plowed as early in spring
as possible,and, as soon as itis in good
working order harrow lightly and sow
two bushels of peas per acre : im-
mediately plow from four to six incites,
so as to cover the peas at least four
inches deep. Wait a week and sow
one bushel per acre of oats, and give
'a thorough liarrowing. This will leave
the peas deep in the soil and the oats
near the surface, just as they should
be; it will not injure tlio peus, will
kill all weeds that have started and
wil! give each an even send-off’ to in-
.uro the largest yield. Jt is a good
plan to roil tho ground after tho pats
are harrowed, ns it will leave it
smoother for the harvesting. Soon
after the peas get beyond the eating
stage, and while still green enough so
that, the pods will dry down holding
peas, cut tho crop with a mower, and
when cured, so they will not mold, but
not enough so as to lose the leaves,
put them into cocks of 209 or 300
pounds, and after a week of good
curing weather they can be simply
aired out and put into mows; or they
can be put into good-sized stacks
without cocking, but the slacks should
he topped, or capped, with any cheap
hay or swamp grass, put on when not
more than half cured; otherwise, they
will wet half through, and much will
bo spoiled. This crop may ho threshed
with a machine, but for sheep feeding
it will he better to feed without, as
the sheep will eat everything eleau;
and tho farmer can feed according to
his judgment, and the haulm will not
be broken.—[American Agricultu¬
rist.
FARM AND GARDEN NOTES.
Ducks and turkeys should rarely be
turned out until Ihey aro atJoust’two
weeks old.
If duck eggs are set under the hens
from this time on it will be best to
make the nest on the ground.
Whenever there is a considerable
number of young chickens it will pay
to provide a separate place for them
to roost.
As the weather gets warmer Jice
will begin to be more troublesome.
Unless kept down the chickens will
not make a thrifty growth. ‘' *. *
It sliow's the ignorance of honoy-
buyers that they prefer the white
comb to the darker, but honey-sellers
have to humor their ignorance.
Nobody yet scents to have found
out exactly the right temperature for
a cellar in which hives are wintered.
Jlie best rule yetgiven is that tempera¬
ture is best, in which iho bees seem
quietest.
'Fite City of Flowers.
There is probably no town in the
United .States so devoted to tlie hold¬
ing of flower and fruit festivals as
Los Angeles, California. No sooner
is one fair over than another com¬
mences and the saino spirit is observ¬
able in all the smaller towns. It is thi 8
spirit wliich encourages tlio growth
and culture of flowers, and undoubted¬
ly there are few spots where flowers
are given so much care. Everybody
scents to possess a garden, and tho
consequence is that flowers can bo
bought more cheaply hi tho' shops of
the San Francisco florists than they
can in the Los Angeles flower-stores.
What strikes tlie stranger as most
singular are tlio floral displays in tlie
offices. 'There is not a bank in town
upon whoso high desks great bunches
of roses do not rest. The paying and
receiving tellers’ desks; tlio cashier's
desk, the manager’s desk, the presi¬
dent’s desk, in fact, nearly evory desk
has a bunch of exquisite roses. — [San

One of these guns was particularly
offensive to the frigate New Ironsides,
