The plagne in Rnssia Ibis .rear ha*
•come, as before, from Tnrkey; bat the
Russian autborili** seem moat active
and energetic in measures to prevent its
spread. Still, so dreadful is the pest,
so inconceivable are its horrors to those
who have not witnessed tbom, that it is
not strange Austria, German v, and other
•countries of Europe should Ire alarmed.
While it is unlikely to make much ad
vanoo toward the West, too great pre
caution cannot IH> exorcised; and, what
ever may happen, we have the comfort
of knowing that in the latter half of the
nineteenth century the best part of En
rope and America ia free from petil of
panic and superstition, and can meet
any danger and death in any form with
calmness and reason, science and phi -
Joeophy.
In later times the plague first ap
peared dnring the fourteenth eentary,
when it actually desolated the world.
One of the names it then bore was the
Black Death, from the black spots de
noting patrid decomposition which, at
one of its stages, marked the sufferer.
The accounts then furnished are incom
plete and inexact, as they necessarily
would be at such an epoch of muni-civ
ilization; but they are snfileieut to show
a Mute of horrors and agony hard to ex
ceed. The course and symptoms of the
dreadful malady varied at different tunes
and in different countries, and greatly
changed toward the close (134K 51) of i:s
ravages in Europe. Among the con
oomitantsof the pestilence wore noticed
palsy of the tongue, which became'
black, as if suffused with blood; putrid
inflammation of the Inngs; fetid, peetif
eroos breath, and expectoration of blood.
When it spread to Europe, fever, evacu
ation of biOod, and pulmonary carbun
cles proved mortal before other svwp
toms had been declared. In well-nigh
*ll histanees death ensued in two or
three days after attack. Spots and tu
mors were the sealsof doom which medi
cal skill had no power to avert and many
sufft rers anticipated by suicide.
The riao and progress of the plague
in the fourteenth century have not been
clearlv or consistently related; bat there
-wins to be no doubt that it originated
in China. There is also concurrent tes
timony that the co-operating causes ex
isted and acted at least fifteen years bo
fore anv outbreak in Europe, and are to
bo sought as far back .as 1338, in a series
of mighty'convoUiona of nature, which
continued for twenty-six years to affect
aud derange the normal conditions of
animal and vegetable life. The precise
date of the beginning of the plague in
China is unknown ; but from 1333 to
1349 that country suffered fearfully from
droughts, famine, floods, swarms of
locusts and earthquakes that overthrew
cities and leveled mountains, and these
catastrophes were followed by the
scoarge. At the same time the okler of
things seemed to be reversed in Europe.
Thunder-storms occurred in midwinter,
ce formed in summer, tornadoes swept
regions that had never felt them before,
volcanoes, long thought extinct, blazed
with fury, and waterspouts rise in placid
seas.
The mortality was hideous in the East
and West, and it is believed that the
great activity of the globe, accompanied
by deo.mposition of vast organic masses,
myriads of locusts, bodies of brutes and
men, produced some change in the at
mosphere hostile to life. It is said that,
in the progress of the plague westward,
the impure and poisoned air was trace
able as it moved on laden with pesti
lence and death. A writer of the time
remarks : *' A dense, awful fog was
seen in the heavens rising in the east,
and descending npon Italy."
The mortality, though no proper esti
mate can be made in the absence of sta •
Statics, was prodigions—supremely ter
rifying. In Cnina alone 13,000,000
persons are asserted to have died, and
in other parts of the East nearly 24,-
000 000 more. In Europe details were
more exact. In London 100,000 souls
perished. and in fifteen continental citiee
about 300.000. Germany lost, it is eal
related, 1,244 434, and Italy one-half of
her whoie population. It is within
bounds to ear that in all Europe not
less than 25 000,000 people were slain
by the scourge. Africa suffered ter
ribly likewise, and it is believed that
the globe was deprived during that cen
tury of fnily from 70,000,000 to 75,000,-
000 human beings from ravages of the
plague. The mere facts are appalling
to the imagination ; the scenes of suf
fering are scarcely credible, Death was
everywhere ; it seemed to have usurped
the place of life. All animal life was
menaced ; birds, beasts, men. women
and childr®, hosts of members of every
nationality, savages, scholars, peasants,
priests, princes, kings, of every creed,
clime and race, were swept from the
face of the earth. Rivers were conse
crated to receive corpses for which none
dared to perform the rites of burial;
bodies were cast by thousands into huge
pits dug for the purpose. Death stalked
over sea as well as over land. The en
tire crews of vessels were ki 'ed by the
poison breath that infested the globe, i
Ships freighted with pntrefyißg bodies
drifted aimlessly and hideously on the
Mediterranean, Black and North seas
—not a hnman creature alive anywhere
—and spread contagion on the shores
whither the winds or tides bad driven
them. Hope, peace, content, law,
order, affection, naturalness, humanity,
seemed never to have been. Ancient
custom and the .need of companionship
were for the time obliterated ; all was
death, agony and despair, and by these
the infected world appeared to be ex
clusively and shudderingly possessed.
The moral effects of the plague were
not less drea linl than its physical de
struction. Thousands perished from
fear, which dissolved among the living
all ties of kindred, all bonds of fellow
ship, all links, of sympathy. Children
fled from the polluted parents ; mothers
deserted their helpless infants ; hus
bands and Icrverß left their wives and
mistresses to die howling and alone.
Terror generated superstition ; the vir
tuous and vicious alike made distracting
and distracted appeals to a God who,
they imagined, had sent tne pestilence
to punish them for manifold sins.
Crowds rushed to sacrifice their worldly
goods to the church ; fanaticism swelled
on every baud; women screamed to
heaven for mercy ; men tore out their
hair and scourged themselves until they
had fainted from loss of blood that they
might propitiate a deity whom they ac
tually believed they had enraged. The
world was mad with fright, suffering
and superstition, and thousands who
liad tried to stay the pestilence with
prayer, declared that Gail was dead and
hell had begun on earth.
The horrors of the time were further
heightened by cruel persecutions against
the Jews, who had been accused of pois
oning the public wells, this being in
popular relief the cause of the pesti
lence. The people rose in mad fury to
exterminate the unfortunate Hebrew
race, and slaughtered them by tens of
thousands. In the inconsiderable city
of Mentz (Germany) alone, near 15,000
fell victims to the public wrath. They
were killed with steel and club, hanged,
drowned, burned, and often barbarously
put to death by every kind of torture.
In numberless instances they took their
own lives in masses to avoid cruelties of
the mob, and in many communities every
man, woman and child was sacrificed to
insensate rage. To exaggerate the
scourge, the panic about poison caused
the wells to be closed. The people were
afraid to touch water, and those who
escaped the plague perished of thirst
and terror. Society, rude at best in that
day, was totally disorganized, and each
means as might have been adopted to
prevent or mitigate the stupendous evii
were either neglected or nnthonght of,
in the derangement and frenzy that pos
sessed everybody, from the highest to
the lowest. The influence of the plague
and its desolation were so overwhelming
that it frequently destroyed all honesty
and principle among the survivors.
Many were rendered callous, and many
took advantage of the universal horror
to indulge ♦bew worst passions, to
plunder, murder, and perpetrate the
most revolting crimes.
There are, it is said, upward of
seventy ways of making lightning rods.
There are more than a million ways of
lying about them.
FOR THE 101 SO FOLKS.
Th Origin of lh* Jompl-Jrk.
Something like twenty years ago, a
miserable brick honeo In a back alley
wa the home of Archibald Ramsey, a
Scotch carpenter. He worked down
town in a shop, making cornices, mold
itigs, mantels, and a variety of the more
elalnirate parts employed in finishing
houses. Everv eventug he t<>ok home
isiekettuls, ana often handfnls also, of
bits and ends from the shop.
These oddly shaped fragments of soft,
sweet-stnellihg pine furnished amuse
j meat for poor little Alec, Mr. Ramsey's
hunchback boy ; and when they had
served this purpose, they were used as
kindling* in the kitchen stove.
There was a houseful of little Ram
Iseys, of whom Alec was the oldest, and
wiien he was amnscd, so were the
others, thus giving the overworked
mother time for other duties.
Alec was sixteen years old, and not
taller than an average bov of ten, lie
was very much deformed, ami had he
lived in an age and country of king*
seeking dwarfs and human islditiea for
"court fools " or "jesters," he would
have IHHMI a "pr a* to s >me iron -handed
tyrant. His shoulder* were almost as
i high as his head, his arms hung out
loose and dangling, ami the rest of his
i body was sbruukeu and slender to a
most pitiable degree. But whoever,
with a tender heart, looked into Ins
great, questioning eyes aud noted Ins
broad, fair forehead and his cleau, deli
cate hands, would *.v>u forget the sad
shape iu the nobility of the lace.
I need not linger to speak of his
studies, which, all unaided, he pushed
along with stuve**; nor of his constancy
in the Bitndav school, where he was a
universal favorite. It is kbent his plav
I with the bits of pino from the shop I
wish to tell y\ju.
Many a droll pile he built on the
kitchen floor; many a fnnuv thing he
whittled out to runuae the little oueo;
I many a comical toy he tuade and gave
| away to neighboring children. Often
he said, and oftetier thought, " What
can I whittle that will sell?" For only
money seemed likely to bring him the
changed life for which he longed. Once,
when he sold for a few pennies a queer
little piue trinket, his father stroked his
silken La - r and said:
" Ah, me puir bairuie, 1 diuua ken
but ye may mak' your fortoon wi' your
kuit'e."
How that little piece of encourage
ment rang in his car* and stimulated
him to tiuiik aud whittle, whittle aud
think .'
One genial afternoon in May, Alee
crept ont to enjoy the balmy air, aud, by
the noise of a crowd of urchins on a
vacant lot at a little distance, was drawn
in that direction. Here be saw a color
ed boy, named Jack, attempting, for the
amusement of the party, all sorts of
pranks m imitations of circus perform
ers. Bareheaded and clothed iu striped
red and yellow garments of coarse qual
ity, the negro lad almost seemed made
of India rubber.
Alec watched kis capers in amaze
mint. Never bvfoie u-u tie seen such
antics, or even thought them possible.
It was no wonder that the frail, stiff
jointed little hunchback dreamed it all
over again, as he did that night.
The next morniDg his whittling genius
took shape from this event, and before
noon he bad produced a rude pine image
of the negro—head, arms and legs loose
ly hung with bits of broom-wire, and
the whole curiously arranged, so that by
working a string, it would jump, nod,
turn somersaults, and go through quite
a series of contortions. With colored
pencil*, of which he had some cheap
specimens, he blackened its head, neck,
hands and feet, reddened its hp*, white
eced its eyes, and rudely striped in yel
low and red the body, all in imitation
of the little negro gymnast. Before it
it was completed, his younger brother,
who bad been with him the day before,
named it "Jumping Jack." And in the
afternoon when he went to the vacant
lot and exhibited it to the youngsters
there, it vas not only universally but
boisterously bailed by the same name.
When he returned home, he brought,
instead of the Jumping-Jack, £ silver
half-dollar, for which he had sold the
the toy to au eager, well-dressed lad of
his own age. And not only this, but he
had orders from the boys for half a
dozen more ; to be made as soon as pos
sib e.
Oh, what a proud, glad heart be*}
within that deformed little bodv of
Alec's! How his temples throbbed !
How elastic his step! What flashing
eyes ! What a skein of wild and hopeful
talk he unwound to bis mother? So
mneh money for his whittling, and a
chance for more and more I Castles,
sky-high and star-bright!
But I have not told von all.
That evening he whittled, .and the
next day he whittled, and before night
had ad ied to his capital three more shin
ing half-dollars. The next day he
doubled his money. The demand for
jumping jacks increased. Boys came
to the door, silver in band, to get what
he hail no time to make.
His grave Scotch parents began to
hold serious counsel over the matter.
If Alec conld find such sale for these
pine images in that neighborhood, why,
the whole city wonld require thousands;
and what would sell elsewhere also. If
they conld supply the market, a fortune
might readily be msde.
Scotch blood, once aroused and chal
lenged, is sanguine and ventnwsome.
Bat it would be uninteresting to re
peat all the details ; so the rest of my
storv shall be brief.
Alec's Sunday school teacher, who was
a lawyer, procured for him a patent on
jumping-jacks of every description; a
rich old nncle of Alec's mother bnilt
him a factory and started him in busi
ness ; aa l, within a year from the after
noon when the poor lad wondered at the
pranks of the colored boy, jumping jacks
from the FUmsey factory were selling in
great numbers all over America.
Truly Alec did "mak' a fortoon wi'
his knife."
To school be went; into a better honse,
all their own, the family moved ; easier
circumstances, better health, less weari
ness, and ample means for doing good,
came to the Ramsevs.
But the best point in my story is that
a fine asylum and school for hunchbacks,
free to the poor, is one of the noble en
terprises to which Alec has been chief
contributor.— l. L. li'man, St. Nicho

A Sad Case.
As the overland train was passing
Cheyenne, the attention of tlie passen
gers were attracted by the lamentation
of a poor Irish emigrant, whoso berth
had been robbed during the night, and
every penny of his scanty savings stolen,
and whose family would therefore ar
rive beggars in a strange land. The
charitable passengers at once liegau a
subscription which finally amounted to
something over 8250. When the money
had been handed to the sufferer, a pious,
plausible-looking man, dressed in black
and adorned with a white cravat, drew
him aside at one of the stopping-places
and sail 1 .:
"My poor man, I am truly sorry for
you. Your sad fate touches me deeply.
I am myael! well provided with this
world's goodn, however, and BO will give
yon $"250 more. Here is a SSOO gold
note. Give me the 8250 yon have and
keep the rest. May hecven bless yon !"
The poor Irishman did as requested
with many blessings on the generous
stranger, who insisted that the gift
should not be made known. When the
passengers reached this side of the bay
the pious looking philanthropist was no
where to be found, he having evidently
gotten off at Oakland, for reasons of his
own.
The next morning the emigrant re
paired to a bank to get his note changed.
The teller picked up the bill and began
narrowly examining it.
" There —there is nothing wrong with
the bill, is there?" gasped the poor
fellow.
[Now, tho clever reader has seen all
along what was going to happen. He
has read lots of just such incidents as
this. It's the old—old story. Well—
we'll see about that ]
" Nothing in the world is the matter
with it," said the teller, quietly, and he
handed the man fifty tens. That ended
it.— San Francisco News Letter.
I APTAIK BUTTON'S TRIP.
a T*.nr In Hl* Rt>er Sill • *• Alle
gan** River, 1 real Oil Or* I* Mlta
bars*.
Captain Boyton, the celebrated swim
mer, swam from Oil Oity, Fa., to Fitts
j bnrgli, starting on a Thursday morning
and reaching hi* deatiuatnm the follow
ing Sntidav. He had expected to make
the trip oi 132 miles with only oue stop,
but tlieweathrr was ao sever* that he
had to stop several times. He was
in the water altogether atnmt forty
one hours, and the trip from Freeport
to Pittsburgh the It*.-! id Ins journey
—i* described by the New York HrraUl
in a Pittsburgh dispatch as follows :
At ten minutes past five Boyton t>ok
his paddle, ami, with a wave of his
hand, plunged into the water, which
was seething with the ice. He was fol
lowed by cheers that went ringing dowu
the river ami w<-re echoed back by the
ravine*. The lonely swimmer made
rapid time, although surrounded bv ice,
and reached Tarentum, aland sti miles
distant, at twenty-five minute* past
seven o'clock. Here it was found that
the water had congealed <>v. r hituin the
chill eaily morning ami he was frozen
almost solid. The suu rose *<KIU after
ward, ami though H<- glare was tllipleas
ant to the navigator s eye*, it thawed
the ice considerably and gaie Hoy ton a
chance for life, Packetty was passed at
twenty minutes past nine, and the
" Htiekwhoata " rau aUnig the water
edge ami roared out their welcomes iu
tones that carried conviction id their
< arueatnaaa. The people are now '>*-
giulimg to appreciate the sufferings
that their " water hero " is nti ongoing,
ami instead of the " Have su thiu', cap
m|" it ii> now, " (lad bh -s you, cap in;
I'd like to die for yon." No pen cau
describe the intensity id feeling * it n
its here; and old residents affirm that
Pennsylvania has not beeu so much ex
cited since the war.
At Hnltou Roy ton *:- sighted :t half
past eleven,making two miles iu over tw i
hour*. When the swimmer came oppo
site the village a perfect fleet id small
locate came out to meet him. as he was
observed to l>e painfully struggling to
make a lauding. When in' rcache.l the
shore a rejo>rter of the Oil City /k crick
discovered that the captain P forehead
was frozen white, and thereupon rnbbet
it witli icennltl circulation was restore i
Hoy Urn then said he wu - almost famish
e.l. A short distance below Packetty he
strnck into a dead water, known us L*v
giui's Eddy, where the river wa frozen
from shore to shore. Iu order to con
tinue lna voyage he was compelled to
break through about two miles of yonng
ice with Ins paddles; while a terrific
mountain wind drove the spray into his
eves in hlindiug showers, where it froze
fast. Added to tins it began to snow,
and the agony endured by the brave
is oulv known to himself.
Just before he paddled from shore again
a dispatch was handed t > him in the
river eigne 1 by Mme. Anderson, who
invited the half-dead man to go at once
to the place she is walking in UJH>II his
landing. Boyton'a answer to tins tool
request was more forcible than elegant.
At twenty minutes past twelve Montrose
was reached, and au ovation was given
in honor of the floating man as he pass
ed by rapidly in order to reach Pitts
burgh early in the afternoon. Rnt the
village was noon left behind, and the
ceaseless paddles carried Paul Boyton
on through the ice to Hharpsbnrg, which
was reached at two o'clock. The Amer
ican flag was here placed in the bra**
socket on hi* foot, and then began a re
ception that lasted for four and a half
mues to Pittsburgh. The flnug of can
nons and ringing of whistles made the
air hideous with sound, and soon the
voyager came in sight of Pittsburgh.
There are three bridges over the Alle
gheny at Pittsburgh, and these were
packed to suffoca'iou, while the roar of
murmurs coming from tlie vast assem
blage on either shore sounded like an
ocean in the distance. Hundreds of
small boats surrounded the captain, aud
for a time nothing could be seen but the
swaying silken flag.
Finally, the steaming Caldwell swung
out beside the captain to take him on
board. It was seen that to land among
the multitude would likely can** a ca
tastrophe and a 1 >ss of life. Boyton re
fused to get on board until he had
reached Duqueane point, where the
Allegheny river end*. Here he got on
board at 1 venty minutes to four ami
was taken to the ferry landing at South
Pittsburgh under a full head of s'eam.
A carnage was in waiting, surrounded by
the police, aud Boyton was ferried across
in the Manchester ferryboat to the
Allegheny side from which he crossed
the bridge to the Robinson house iu a
close carriage. The police were com
pelled to handle tlie crowds very rough
ly in order to clear a passage from the
carriage to the hotel door for the feeble
and exhausted man, who walked up
the stairs to his room glittering with
ice. In a few minutes Boyton was
stripped and laid upon the bed, where
he reclined at full length, but little life
left in him. His Angers were found to
be frozen and his face was badly frost
bitten. Besides this, his feet aud wrists
were very painful.
Found at Last.
As a Mississippi nver steamboat came
to a river landing, a tall, ungainly
rakish looking fellow leaning against the
woodpile attracted the attention of the
passengers, one of whom, a talkative
and conspicuous person, remarked to
bis friends that he was going to have
some fnn out of that fellow. Ho he
stepped ashore when tlie boat landed,
and with a great show of fierceness ap
proached the fellow. Drawing a savage
looking bowie knife h said :
"So. old fellow, I've found yon at
last Yon're the man that stole a dog
of mine and I've sworn to get square
with yon. I've been looking for you for
a year."
T'ue gawky lazily opened his eyes in
wondering amazement at first as though
ho didn't understand it Then catching
sight of the laughing passengers look
ing on from the deck betook in the situ
ation. By the time "Hmarty" bad
finished telling him how long he had
been looking for him. he had taken ont
of his pocket a fist like a sledge ham
mer on the end of the arm of a windmill.
He swung it once and knocked the man
who had been looking for him plump
into the river. Then resuming his place
against the woodpile he raised his eyes
to the deck and with a very lazy drawl
inquired :
"Is there anybody else on this boat
looking for me?"
The Story of a t'ow-Bell.
A correspondent of the Cincinnati
Oazclte sends the following story of a
law case from Floyd oonnty, Ind.:
" Mayfleld and Featlieringill were well
to-do farmers. One of Mayfleld's rows
dropped a bell from her neck, in the
woods,that cost fifty cents, and was half
worn, and was supposed to be worth
twenty-five cents when lost. One of
Featheringill's boys, in passing through
the woods one day, found a cow-hell.
Mayfleld claimed that it was his bell,
and demanded it. Featlieringill refused
to give it tip. Mayfleld than replevinod
it, and then commenced a lawsuit that
absorbed the farms and personal estate
of the contestants. Not being able to
pay lawyers' fees any longer, the lawyers
refused to serve in the case, and the lit
igants were compelled to compromise,
which they did by each agreeing to pay
his own costs, which amounted to over
81,500 a Hide or au aggregate of over
83,000. ___

The Tuwn and I'ountry remarks;
Almost fabulous are the estinratca
' given in various quarters, of the tnlriu
sic value of American poultry to the
people of this country. At the same
time, a Urge majurity of those who
read and consider themselves well post
ed as to details of the natural wealth of
tins laud either oonecive this Hem of
poultry to t>e a very insignificant mat
ter, at the l>et, or else they know noth
ing of it at all.
Yet our farmers, the suburban resi
dents of cities, and thouaanda of men and
women all over the United States, are
at the present time engaged, in greater
or less degree, in the cultivation of and
truffic tu good fowls, and in the sale of
dead poultry and eggs.
Millions of dollars are invested in this
business— in one way or another. And
estimate# are made by competent au
thority m recent years, baaed upon
computation, that uhe total annual value
of poultry in this country and the eggs
produced ty our yearly aggregate of
domestic fowls, reaches au approximate
value to that of either eottou, grain or
slaughtered beef.
As au isolated sample of the large
consumption of egg# vn one city, we
quote from the Boston Herald : "The
traffic in egg* carried on by Boston

ami that about 80 per cent, are cousum

The number of eggs consumed in this
State, when computed, ia fcuud to bo at
au average of 52 egg* |>or year to every
inhabitant, or ope egg j>er week. When
the immense quantity of egga used for
cooking purpoee* is couaidered, the
figure* appear quite reasonable. Only
a small proportion al the receipt*" in
this market are ' limed ' or pickled for
future sale— aay '2| per cent. All these
eggs come to Bosun from various sec

Eastern eggafmoatly from Maine by loat

She Sewed on his Button*.
Everybody who knows old Blnmmer
know* it pretty tight-fisted man. Sev
eral day* ago he aaid to hia wife:
" Maria, I want you to look over that
broadcloth vest of miue and put new
buttons on it, 'cause I'm going to ucnrxi
party to-night, and it 'll pay me to look
a little sprucor than common." ,
" But, Ely," answered Mrs. 8., "I
haven't auy buttons to match that vest;
and"—
" Blame it !" broke in Blnmmer, ,
"the idea of a woman keepiug house as
long as you have, an' pretendin' to be <
out of buttons. By George ! I b'lieve 1
you'll ask me for money to buy 'em
with next." And then old Blnmmer i
shfxk his head threateningly and de
parted down town, leaving Mrs. B. i
looking after him with peculiar ex
pression in her eyea.
That evening Blnmmer hurried ,
through hi* supper and began arraying
himself for the card party. Presently |
he called for the broadcloth vest, anil
Mrs. 8., with marvelous promptitude,
handed it to him. He took it, hastily
unfolded it, and then, as his eye took in
its complete appearance, he stood as
one traustlxed. It was aix button
vest, and there wore six buttons op it,
and the dazed optic of Blummer ob
-ervod that the first, or top one, was a
tiny pearl shirt-button, and toat the
next one was a brass army overcoat but
ton, with G. 8. gleaming npon it. and i
that number three was an oxydiwd stl- 1
vor affair, aud that tinmlier four wss a 1
horn button, evidently from the back
of one of the Puritan fathers' coats, and
then came a suspender button, and .
there, as tho dazzled eyes of old Blum
mer reached the bottom button—a
poker chip (found in Itlnmmer's pocket)
with two holes punched through it—he
gave a snort that made the chandelier
jingle. There is, after all, n fine sense
of humor about Blummer, and lie
laughed till he cried. And there won't
be any button ruouey grudged in that
household hereafter.
" Jliat Old More Jorkln*."
Little Nellie was looking at " Woolf's
Wild Animals" when Mr. Jorkins called,
and appealed to that gentleman to ex
plain one of the pictures.
"That is a wild boar," said he, and
the little lady looked at it thoughtfully
and replied :
"It don't look like yon, does it Mr.
Jorkins ? "
" I hope not," responded tho gue*t.
" Why?"
"Because," said the artless infant,
" Mamma said when your card was sent
up, "There is that old bore Jorkins
again."
Aud it was a full minuto before mam
! ma's frozen lips thawed sufficiently to
1 inform the nurse it was Nellie's bed
time.
I)r. E. B. Foote'n Health Monthly
says one of the most frequent causes of
bald nes is the practice al wearing the
hat when it is not needed. " This
practice heats the scalp, brings on scalp
diseases, and as a result the hair falls."
To prevent baldness the Monthly ad
vises persons to keep the head agree
ably cool, avoid head-coverings except
when'going into the cold, and to live
hygienicaliy.

The plague U on* of the oldest things
under tiia nan. According to PeUrina it
ravaged tba whole known world in 767 B.
G. In M 4 H. 0. it mada terrible havoc in
Carthage, and tha proiyle. deploring tba
auger of the goda, offered up their chil
dren an neorinoea. Tlincydidaa haa left
a graphic deacrintion of the plague
which raged in Athena in 480 H. G.,
and whiou attended over Egypt and
Ethiopia. In the eighteauth yenr of
the Christian era lloiue waa dtxtxqm
laled at tha rata of 10,000 dally. Three
eenturiee and a half later the plague
appeared in Britain, where the living
were not able to bury the dead. There
ta little rnaaon to doubt tba atateruant
that 'iOO peraoua periabad daily in Lon
don during an epidemic which raged in
11148, and which prevailed throughout
Europe. Iu 1478 more porann* nerdahad
in England of pnaidnnce than had died
in fifteen yeara of continued war. At
variona periuda of ita biatory London
haa •iiff em I terribly from plague.
More thau 'id.ooo poraoua pertahed in
1603 4, and mora thau 35,000 tu 1625.
But it waa not until 1665 that the city
learnt d what a arvmrge the plague might
liecotne. A moderate eetimate ear*
that 68 6(16 pt-rao a pertahcl, while
other authority* atale the number at \
UK) mm. Mince that period England
haa twwli tolerably fr*e fr<untle plague, j
but it haa carried off 80,000 pereona in j
I'era ta, 800,000 in Egypt, aud 60,000 at j
M viseillea at one v.aitatioo.

A Vallejo fCal.) hatcher waa over in
the mountain wild* of Contra 0 rata the
other day, buying meat uu the hoof.
He found an old MuxNuuruui with a
ittoiiaaiid oallle on a hill, living iu all
the simplicity of primitive life at it is
generally tUaottvercd a tbouaand unit*
from the outp.tata of civilization. In
appearance no looked aomething like
the picture one aeea < f ltobinauu Grnaor
in the buoka, after tho latter had worn
1 out all hia good clothe* But tbe cattle
Were fat, and the Vallejoan bought
what he wanted. When it catua to net
tlmg for thein, he handed the Contra
Uoata Crue-te aocne greenhacka an |art
of the payment. The man did not aeem
to know what to make of such a kind of
circulating medium, and it waa found
ueecenary to explain to him that they
were government note* for the atim in
dicated. " Waall," a aid he, after much
hesitation, "efyer'U agree to indorse
them ar, I'll take 'em." But,the Vallejo
man, not being in the bnaiueaa of in
doming Uncle Ham'e paper, refused,
and he hi d to pay him m gold.
