During the Dark and theta Middle.Ages the popu;ation of Northern Europe, and of France especially, lived in an atmosphere of war, famine and pestilence. In the year 541 not a drop of rain fell in Europeland scarcely more in Asia, `and the natural re- sult was a three years famine, and during it the wants of a part of the peo le of Eu- rope were supplied by the ships o the little Italian republics, just beginning to have s recarious existence, which brought -grain rom Africa. . A Not long afterward France was so deso- lated bv a failure of the crops that the pub- lic treasure was exhausted to feed the pea`- ple, and King Clovis was obliged to strip the silver from the royal `tombs in the ca- thedral ot St. Denis. There were .twore- markable famines during the reign of Char- lemagne in the eighth century, and several in the ensuing century so severe that the famished peasants made bread of earth. During the two or three succeeding cen- turies they recurred with distressing regu- lanty, havin as their (principal causes wars among feuda lords an the crusades. whnln rnninnn ltvnuun .I..........I_L-J 11 A 9 I 1 ' Punctuality`.
