Famine fol lows falluie of the eiops, nnd this year plague has followed famine. The fam ine has been almost univeisal, but the plague has. pitched paiticulaily upon Bombay. In all the searching for causes of the epidemic no one has yet distinctly accounted for this choice of locality. Bombay has been ranked re peatedly In olllelal statements as first In sanitary advantages among the cities of India. A -writer last month in an Indian paper states that Bombay In normal years compares favorably with European cities in point of health. As Asiatic cities go, Bombay is certainly not extraordinarily dirty. All oriental communities are dirty If not watched, and all conceal their infectious .sick from boards of health. How, then, Is It possible that Bombay should suddenly have risen to such an epidemiological height above her sister cities, and reduced her population and paralyzed her Industilos like lightning, while fouler capitals do not suffer? CAUSES OF THE PLAGUE. Benares Is to Bombay, for example, as pitch is to snow. Benares, being the holy city, tho Mecca of tho Hindus, is packed with those unsanitary lellglon ibts. More than 250,000 pilgrims aie said to huddle on the bluff to "bathe" every day in the swarming season, Benares Is a city "given over to Idol atry" und dirt. To that class of ldol atiy known as Brahamluism, and tu that class of dirt known as tilth. I read In a recent ui tide of the Hindu virtue ... mw."m8&mz . ,.. mm 'MM tfih I iW-ll .V?VJvi-!at'' btj.tl EJi lILn ' V-fAA-v'STi.. ST. of cleanliness: "The Hindu, no mat ter what his pilvallons, must have his bath every day." Hut If you could see the bath! There Is such a. thing as bathing in very dlity watei of the con sistency of pea soup. Hindus often pel oft m their vlituous ablutions In sticky black mud, Impiegnated with gaibage and other pleasing Ingiedlents, gei ins of coiiise existing In cohoits nnd set lied tanks. One of the sacied wells Into which devout Hindu pllgilins plunge on i caching Mecca in older to puige themselves of their sins is a foul smelling and loathsome-looking moiass. It Is called Manlkainlka, because once when Vishnu, the god, was looking Into it to view his own peisonal chaims, his caning fell In, Manlkatnlka meaning caning. He couldn't see himself In It now ! Another holy abyss In the Golden Temple at Benin es holy enough to be tho residence of a submerged god in deedis not only a vile stagnant pool, but It is also filled with the lotting lesl duuni and exudes the feai fill diluvium of the continuous lloial tilbutes with which pious Biahmins pelt theli hidden idol. Add to this the Intel estlng ad junct of many "Hrahmli" bulls piome- nading at will thiougli the temple, and j on may imagine the hygienic condi tions. The Monkey Temple, another honor, is actually Inhabited by hallowed apes. One may picture the cleanliness of this sanctuary and the Inducements it offcis to epidemics. Of course, epidemic is piesent theie always and Inevitably in a moie or li-s vlulent foi in. The stteets aie baldly wide enough lor an elephant, knee deep In mud and lefuse. And the city Is under Biltlsh uile! TWO KINDS OF ANIMALS. Oithodox Hindus, besides the dally "bath," aie often lauded lor their kindness to animals. No Hindu will kill a living cieatuie, not even n'l In sect. The el feet of this entomological philantluopy upon the persons nnd beds of the humane may bo Imagined. An anecdote of a not altogether fas tidious tenor may be cited to show tho cleanliness of the Hindus, A poor man was auested for a debt. Tho judge in couit asked him If he had no meuns of support. He said he some times earned I annas (1L cents) a day by sleeping in the daytime on the ehaipoys (twine beds) of Hindus. rTpon being asked to explain, he did so. Ho furnished lood for the bed bugs which infested the cot, so that Its owner could sleep at night! And this Is not a Benaies, but a Calcutta Incident. It shows, at any rate, the conditions un der w hlch orientals live, and explains the facility with which pestilence gains access and foothold. Newspaper statistics from Bombay, Issued Jan. 10, showed that In the Bombay piesldoncy altogether Mo hammedans had suffeied most from the plague. They are, pet haps, dirtier than Hindus In their lower castes, for nothing Is enjoined or forbidden these by lellglon, and the sweeper caste cats poisoned or decayed food with enjoy ment. Low caste Hindus come next to Mohnmmedans, and Wlndus of oth er castes next. The death rate among Brahmins was 41.07 In the thousand. OUIGIN OF THE DISEASE. Dr. James Cantllo, lately leturned from Hong Kong, whole he Investigat ed the plague fiom beginning to end, has delivered a lectuie on the subject befoie the Epidemiological society of London, in which he announces the conclusion that originally the disease must bo imbibed Hist from the soil. In the stomachs of rats that have spread tho Infection and died of It there have been found after deatli sand nnd dirt. Tho Inevitable deduction appears to bo that soil, undralned for ages, lie- comes thoroughly permeated with the decaying vegetable und animal matter thrown or left upon It, and Is Instant pollution. And ncconllng to Bombay authorities themselves tho only tiou ble with their "perfect system" ot mu nicipal drainage is that It Is not fin ished! An Englishman who visited Bombay lately for the purpose of ex amining carefully Into the mattei being a sanitary engineer summed up his repot t thus to the commissioners: 1-.... . i ,, , , Mi, i i VALENTINE'S DAY.Lif0. "You have only to complete the dialn age system accoidlng to the oilginal plans and Bombay will have the best diained city In the wot Id." Consldeilng that Bombay City passed to the Biltlsh crown when the Infanta Catherina was mauled to Chailes II., and that In 1GS7 It was the brightest star of the East India company's pos sessions; taking Into account also the tiivlal fact that It has been under English municipal uile since the death of the East India company, and the establishment of English govetnois under a governor geneial about 1757; taking these mlnoi facts Into account, It seems as if the Bombay "perlect dialnage" system might have been fin ished befoie the end of 200 years of possession. DIFFICULTIES OF SANITATION. But it Is tine that the dlfllcultles In the way not only of establishing sew eiage, but of having It used aie enoiinous and almost insupeiable. We do not leallze at all the deeply looted caste system which makes the gentle, seivile Hindu a veiv demon of ob stinacy when it comes to adopting habits not tnesciibed In his lltual. A water tap, a waste pipe, a system of plumbing, a dlsiegard of natuie's pio vlslons, the lllteilng of water or cleans ing It for bathing pin poses all these aie dliectly contiaij to tiadltlon, us age and "dustiu" (custom), which ought to bo lopresented as one of the Inexorable gods of India, with four legs and four aims. It Is one of the woist of tynints, and Its deciees aie llxed. It is tills slavish adheienco to cus tom that makes sanitniy systems so haul to lutioduce The enauulicable habits of orientals aie dliectly opposed to drains. Hltcis and plumbing of any soit. The eailh Is given as a deposi tory for lefuse; why clicumvcnt her uses? Another obstacle Is the fatalistic ele ment of otlentnl lellgions. The Hindu is a firm believer In the Inevitable af ter death and the Inevitable in life. He holds life cheaply, as do the Mo hammedans, for that matter. If a man Is to die ho Is to die. You cannot make him take ex'-iaoidlntvy piecautlons to pieseive what may not be precious to him, what he does not consider himself to own, and what he is convinced lie is to io?e anyway. vei who live In a so-called "Chilstlan"i country, whore hardly one In a mil lion of those who believe In n jo 'til i lesuirectlou nnd a happy home beyond the stin s does not cling to a mlseiable existence heio on eaith lather than go to his lew aid we cannot under stand the naturally Imbibed belief of both Hindu and Mohammedan to the effect that the futuie Is as clear as the piesent, and that death Is a mere translation to a moie gloilous sphere VHGETAIUANS SUFKEUS lUOM ' FAMINE. , The gialn eaters, that Is to say, vegetarians of India aie the Hist suf ferers fiom famine; and weak as thej are natuially from goneiatlons of the vegetable-fed, they soon become ex hausted when the supply of gialu Is diminished. They will neaily starve before they eat the cattle, which aie helping to diminish their supply. Dr. Cantlle notices the gieat mortal ity of nits as among tho prellmlnailes of plague epidemic. The present plague, by the by. In Bombay, he ven tuies to name "malignant polyadeni tis," and consldeis the title "bubonic fever" lnaceuiate. This plague he de fines as "an acute febrile disease of an Intensely fatal natuie characterized by inflammation of the lymphatic glands, maiked ceiebial and vesicu lar dlstui bailees, and by the piesence of a speclHc bacillus." The Kit seems to be infected, Dr. Cantlle says, before the human being, nnd the fact of dead tats helg found about the house during the plague epidemic Is a title warning that the inmates of tho house will lu all probability be affected. And In sup port of the theory that plague Is a soil In ed, n miasmatic disease, ho bilngs forward the fact that rats aie Ivaihi bly affected. The most Ignorant na tives will vacate their villages when a rat mortality has become distinctly no- 1 tlceable, and lu some districts the dls- ease is Hxed In mind as the sickness "when the lats die." The Times of India In September, 1S0G, contained an at tide In which the wilter said: "It was known moie than a month ago to all the people of Maldvl (the ilUtiict in Bombay presidency vvheie the plague bioke out) and to all the .municipal sweepeis In the dlstilct that the lats weie dying In thousands all over the dlstilct. The weie found dead and d Ing almost everywhere, and In places whole dead tats weie never found befoie." ' Then the w i Iter makes this significant leflectlon: "The gieat lat mortality only became known leeeivtly. nnd yet w hat a vol ume of infoimatlon was It capable of cairylng if It was only lightly usvd It Is universal histoiy that iat and plague moitallty go together." .HATS SPREAD THE PLAGUE How N the rat Infected? asked Di Cantlle. He Is susceptible it Inocula tion, expel iinent has proved; but "we cannot assume that eveiy rat has a tciateh oi open wound by which it Is Infected." It Is moie natuial to sup pose that he Imbibes It as miasma In concentiated form or Ingests It with his food. And we nie sine that It Is ,not a chance Inoculation, but a gen eral Infection, when thousands of rats die, and scoies In one house inside of u few bonis." In Calcutta a "Benign polyadenitis" has spiead, dutlng which no rats have died, and no, or few, human beln'j" It Is olaboialely desci Hied In Dr. Cant lte's lectuie in the Lancet, and appears to differ fiom the malignant diseases only In the item of non-fatality. As for the causes of the outbieak and continued lavages of the plague. Dr. Cantlle consldeis the climate only partly to blame. In China tho plague came at tbe end ol a ill ought, and In Bombay also. Hut whethei oi not theie Is any actual connection between plague and drought he consldeis doubtful. The bacillus of plague lloui Ishes best In a vvnun, moist ntmo spheie; di j. hot air kills it.

An unfailing cure for all diseases that have their origin in disorders of the diges tion and faulty nutrition is found in Dr. I'ietce's Golden Medical Discovery. It cures digestive disorders, restores the appe tite, invigorates the liver, purifies and en riches the blood, builds healthy flesh and muscle and drives out disease -germs.

In Hong Hong an accession of plague cases came with the uilns, which It was thought would abate thepi. And' yet B-r, Canllle thinks that the meaning of that appaieut pheno menon may hove been that the habits of the people changed with the wet weather.
