CHINESE CUSTOMS.
THE GREAT FAMINE.

Somewhere among my books, says a writer in the London Erening Necs in an article on Some News From Chins," I have two little Volumes very prettily bound in old red morocco. They are full of coloured pictures of strange people, of the people of China. Generations of English children have looked in those little picture books and learned from them that the Chicese folk are comically unlike the English
