The Famine in China. - -
Simultaneously with the dearth which
ie causing so much anxiety in India, a
famine is raging in. the north of China;
but while the care and energy of the In-
dian government reduce the distress in
the former case to a minimum, pec le
are dying by thousands in China of sh eg
starvation. The,seenes_ of the chief
tress are in the north and east, in the x-
treme north of Kiangeu, in Shantung in
Pechili and in Shanse ; and from Sh -
tang especially the accounts which re ch
us are heartrending.
The whole tract of country in ques 'on
suffered last summer from severe drou ht,
whichnearly destroyer the crops ; nd
the peasantry, havingeaten what li tle
grain -they had in store, or were abl to
gather, are reduced now to the last s ge.
of want. The picture drawn " by ' ro.
testant missionaries in. Shantung, : nd
who are distributing the alms li er-
ally contributed by the foreign c m-
munities in China, is terrible.- r.
Richard writes :
"Having finished their corn, the peo-
ple are now eating grain husks, po to
stalks, and elm bark, buckwheat sta. ks,
turnip leaves, and grass seeds w ich
they gather in the fields. When ti ese
are exhausted they pull down t air
houses and sell the timber, and it is re-
ported everywhere that mane eat the
rotten sorgunr stalks from the roof, : nd
the dried leaves of which they usually
burn for fuel. Of their eating uel
leaves, there is no doubt ; thousands eat
them, and thousands die because hey
cannot get even that. They sell t e eir
clothes and children. Having no cl th-
ing left to protect them from the c+ld,
many take refuge in pits built un er-
ground to keep themselves warns by the
fetid breath of the crowd. In the ast
suburb of Chingchow city there are our
such pits. One-third of 'the nu ber
(two hundred and forty) originally put
into them are now dead within six
weeks, and no sooner is corpse car ied
out than a crowd are strr ggling for the
place. Villages of five h ndred fam' ies
report three hundred dea of starve on ;
villaages of three hundred eport one un-
dred persons dead."
Almost the whole pro ince of S
tang is suffering ; but he sufferin

erage of 1,000 villages, the thous nds
who have 'already perished may be too

A Training School for Nur ; es
A training school for urses wil be
opened soon in the New ork Hosp'tal.
The class will be limited o twelve. Ap-
plicants must be between the ages o 20
and 35, strong, healthy, ave a fair ng-
lish education, and brin certificat s of
good character from satin actory sou ces.
The course of instructio will include
practical and theoretic 1 teaching in
medical, surgical and s,+ecial nursing,
bandaging, &c., and ele%•entary le sons
in anatomy, physiology d hygiene It
will extend over two yea s. At th end
of the first year a recon class will be
taken in, and the first of s will be Ogle
head nurses of wards for he second ear.
At the end of this year they will, fter'
passing a satisfactor examina 'on,,
be graduated and recei a the dipoma
of the school. The wh le numb r in
training at any one time will th s be
twenty-four. '
One month of each year will be p ssed
in the kitchen and one month in the
laundry. Each of these departments
will be directed by a skilful and exfperi-
enced head. The instruction in the
kitchen will include plain cooking, and
-all the varieties of special diet, the vari-
ous gruels, porridges, broths, soups, beef
tea and essence, panada and similar pre-
parations. • In the " laundry plain and
fancy washing apd ironing will be
taught, the use bf the ' various oaps
and cleansing preparations,, thei ef-
fect on the material of the articles ash -
ed, &c.
It is intended that the graduates Shall
be not only good nurses, but good house-
keepers. It is believed that the instruc-
tion given will be an ample equivalent
for all services rendered. An allowance
will be made, however, for clothes,
of ten dollars tea, month for the first
year and sixteen 'dollars a monthfor the
second.
It is thought that graduates will com-
mand wages at all time equal to the
highest rate paid in the coun+.ry for
similar services, now varying from ten
to thirty dollars a week, according to
circumstances.

self and others u on a dog p • o under
the influence of a her,: in which pieces of
the skull were removed, and sleep prov-
ed to be aceompenied by an absence of
blood in the vessels of the br in, and
wakefulness by the return of the same
fluid in large quantities. ` Anxiety or
other emotions or affections carried to a
morbid extent were more often the cause
of wakefulness than great mental labor,
although the tter, if over -prolong-
ed or repeated ith undue frequency,
was equally hay ful. , As the icapacity
for sleep depend d upon the amount of
blood in the br , and that amount was
largely under t e control of the indi-
vidual, there wa no difficulty in so dis-
posing the 'body r the system as to in-
vite sleep and overcome the:': evils of
wakef ulnees. any persons who would
feel sleepy in a chair, wouldbecome wide
'awake on lying down, simply because of
the flow of blood to the head. For such
persons a high pillow, reaching' well un-
der the shoulders, would prove beneficial.
Others, by eating a light and easily di-
gested' meal just before retiring; secured
the best of; repose.
Goat Milk and Sleeve Milk.
Iti the southern portion of Italy oat's
milk is very generally used by the +oor-
er classes who cannot afford the m lk of
cows. This kind of milk is frequ • ntly
required also by wealthy people, as it is
said to be efficacious in the cure of vari-
ous diseases. Difficulties, howeve , of-
ten attend 'even the procuring of oat's
milk, although the vendors drivthe
little animals about from door to door,
and deliver the article done up 'n its
original .package. A case in poi + t oc-
curred where a friend of the writer' , de-
siring some goat's milk for his sick hild,
directed that a goat should be driv n up
each morning, three flights of stair •, and
be milked at his apartment door, inorder
to be safe from fraud.
One morning a member of his f roily
stepped suddenly into the hall wh n the
process of goat -milking was goin on,
and her eye caught a glimpse o two
streams of fluid gently flowing -one
from the natural source- and the other
from a syringe partly hidden u the
milkmaid's sleeve. It is hardly eces-
sary to add that one stream was milk
and the other a tolerably fair quality of
water, both of which were harmoniously
commingling.
Dr. Hammond on Sleepl.
In a recent lecture on "Seep, " Dr.
William A. Hammond, of New York,
said that the brain was at work no „only
during every waking moment and in
dreams, but even in the deepest s eep it
was employed in storing up new energies
to be dissipated in the future. If i were
not for the fact that some parts +f the
organ had comparative rest while thers
were at work, it would soon wea out
altogether. Every pulsation of the
heart, every thought of the min de-
stroyed some :particle of brain matter,
and were it not for the gradual budding
up of fresh material which was go ng on
at the same time, it would speedi y be-
come a wreck.It was during glee that
this recuperative process was most effec-
tive; during wakefulness the ex;+endi-
ture of brain force exceeded the ac umu-
lation of new waiter by a large p opor-
tion. The lecturer, after defining sleep
as due to the diminution of blood n the
brain, cited some curious instances of its
extraordinary power. He descri ed a

The Cincinnati papers print a`telegram
from Arcola, Ind., May 17th, which
says : " Catherine Bourlier, 'a French
woman, r siding in this place, while
passing th' ough a strip of woods yester-
day, near adley, three miles east, dis-
covered a black portfolio in .a hollow
stump. Breaking the lock. 'open she
found it contained $6,050 in fives, tens,
fifties, and hundred dollar bills. Fear-
ing it to he counterfeit money,; she dis-
liked to take it home.: She hidthe port-
folio and ;contents under ay stump back
of her residence, and to -day notified
Sheriff Munson, of Fort . Wayne, who
carne and found the place as described,
but portfolio and money gone. ! A genu-

—The Gazette de Sorel, of Quebec
Province, gives the account_ of a
disgraceful affair which took place
on the wharf,at Sorel, on the arrival
ofthe' steamer "Quebec" from
Montreal. A number of young fel-
lows among t e passengers began to tease
the crowd of youths who, according to
custom, were sembled on the wharf, by
calling opt to hem "pea 'soup," "straw
hat," &c., an the latter, feeling them-
selves to be grievously insulted, went
away,' and soon returned armed with a
lot of bad h n's eggs. Ranging them-
selves in batt a "array on the wharf, the
Sorel boys op ned fire upon their offend-
ers, the latte coming out second beat,
with their f es and clothes all be-
smeared with the unacpeptable missiles
from their ass 'lentson shore. The vic-
tims landed 'th the intention of exe-
cuting reven e, but were prevented by
the captain of the boat.
