The plagne, or pestilence, tht eits
tcrifins and fearfol Tisitation which has
mored its hrjets in the wake of armies
to flij more than war itself, is supposed
to have first rxiginatcd among the dense
masses of people who crowded together
in tie Rreat cities of Asia and Esypt, or
who formed the encampment of Xerxes,
Cyron and Tamerlane the Tartar. It
jirobably sprang from the impurity
which must have fxiiited in the i;ii!.-,t
,t,t m-h vast patherinps and in iart al
from leaving the nubnried dead upcu
the field of battle. At any rate thti
irerms uf this fearful human poison have
alweys been most active where coudi
tirns similar to thoie have prevailed. It
has always been war and the march of
armies that has spread it broadcx.it over
the world from time to time, and aa
war Decirts less frequent and less
(worldwide the frequency and extent of
these ravapes have lessened also.
I The firrt recorded oat break of the
iplague in Europe occurred in the six
teenth century. It came from lower
Iypt. This was the first lapping of the
wave that reached kito the east again,
there to stay its movement so far as the
rwet-t was concerned until 544 A. D.,
w hen the returning legions of the Em
peror Justinian brought it agtiin into
The western world from the battlefield
tof Persia. Comitantiuople was the firt
place it attacked. Here in a 6iuglo day
an many as 10,000 persons are said to
have fallen Tictims to it. But the plague
iid not stop with Constantinople, It
Jiad found a. too congenial soil in Eu
rope, which wad little ehse than one
t-n-at battlefield at tlie time. It was
carried into Ganl, where it followed
close in the wake of the Prankish
armies, and 'rota Gaul it moved into
Italy, with the Lombards, and so devas
tated the country as to leave it entirely
at the mercy of the invaders.
The various crusades, which extended
over a space of about 200 yean, no
doubt did much to hold the pestilence
Jin Europe, for they served to keep open
the channels of intercourse between the
ratt and the west. Periodic epidemics
jwere common during their continuance,
md these seem to have culminated in
pie fourteenth century with what is
"known in history as the black death.
Tbe black death was more fatal to hu
hnan life than any other single cause
ifiince the world began. The havoc of war
Was nothing in comparison to it. It
wwopt the whole of Europe, leaving in
its path such misery and destitution as
Xhe world ha J never known. It killed in
three years some 25,000,000 of people.
Such figures stagger the comprehension,
but the records of the time, caunot be
doubted. The entire population of Eu
rope is estimated to have been abort t
1 DO. 000, 000 kept down as it was by
the constant warfare and of these 100,
000,000 at least a fourth perished.
The ravages of the plague in Italy,
where it came in the track of the war
of the Guelphs and Ghibellines, was
particularly disastrous to mankind. It
raged with terrible fury in Xaples,
w here 60,000 persons are said to have
died. It fell upon Pisa and eeven out of
every ten perished. It utterly and for
ever destroyed the prosperity of hiena,
Florence also suffered severely, while
100,000 of the inhabitants of Venice
were literally wiped off the face of the
cartli. From Italy it moved into France,
where the mortality was almost as
great ; in Paris alone 50, 000 people died
from it Oae of the worst features pre
sented by the history of t'.ie black death
was the cruel persecution it aroused
against the Jews. They were supposed
to have infected the air in some mys
terious manner, and they were accused
of having poisoned the wells and
springs. In Strassburg 2, 000 of them
were buried alive in their own burial
ground.
The order of the Flap Haute mm at
this time, cording from the Lelkf that
tiie sins of the world had at last brought
down the wrath of heaven. It was the
beginning of the so called Hundred
Years' war that carried the Mack ci.ath
into England, where in Loudon its vic
tims numbered 100,000. When at last
the plague had worked its ravages, it
doubled back over its course, to disap
pear in the cast. In IS 4 3 it appeared
again in England, first ta x; lie sol
diers of Richmond after the battle of
Eosworlh. Field, and when the victo
rious army marched to Loudon tuo
plague went with them to work its
havoc there. As long as it lasted the
mortality was as great as that caused
by the black death half a century be
fore. Five thousand people died in five
weeks, and then the plague left London
as suddenly as it bad appeared there, to
sweep over the rest of England.
In Scotland the plague of 15U8 came
immediately after the battle of Lang
side, when Queen Mary was dethroned,
bat no records of tlie mortality it occa
sioned seem to have been preserved.
The plague visited London iu 1GT3
This followed after the civil war which
ended with the death of Charles U but
ao many years intcrv sned that it i im
possible to trace asy connection between
the two events. In modern wars danger
from the plague seems gradually to
have lessened, perhaps as a result of
better sanitary conditions maintained
by the armiea of today. Philadelphia

THE INDULGENT FATHER.
I Aeeonnt of Ona That Colonel Calliper
Kaew la Storkrllla Crater. Vt. .
"Speaking of indulgent fathers," said
Colonel Calliper, "reminds me of an
old friend of mine named Silas Zing
tock, who formerly lived in Storkville
Centre, Yt Once when his little son
Rafus wanted very much to fly a kite
at a time when he was not well enough
to be permitted to go out Mr. Zmgfrick
rigged up a contrivance whereby the
voungKtcr'e desire could be gratified in
i the house. He set up a blower in the
back parlor, belted it to an engine in
the cellar below, and when everything
was all ready he started the fan and
produced a current of air that was
ample to float a kite.
"It was great fun for young Rufus to
t sit in the back parlor and fly his kite
in the front, and for a time everything
v. ut all right, but on an unfortunate
day Rnfy, not satisfied with the amount
of wind the fan was blowing, undertook
to make it blow harder, which is some
thing that Mr. Ziugtoek had expressly
forbidden. It seems tha? the blower and
the boiler and machinery were all much
larger than were needed to produce a
breeze sufficient to float a kite ha-e, but
Mr. Zingtock, who, tliongh rich, was
also thrifty, had had ii chance to buy
this plant second hand cheaper than a
ne-.v plant of smaller size would have
cost, and so he took it and bad it set
up, and every morning he used to adjust
it so that it would not go above a cer
tain speed, and several times he had
cautioned his son never to touch it.
"About one minute after Rufus did
touch it on this rooming when hewant
d it to blow harder the big fan was go
iug at a gait that set up a hurricane in
the parlors. It blew tha kite against one
of the windows and broke that the first
thing, and within a minute the pictures
were off the walls and their glasses
smashed, tables were upset, bric-a-brao
was knocked into flinders, and the
whole parlor was a wreck, with the big
blower going at top sjieed and churning
everything there into fragments and
blowing the debris out of the windows.
"That ended the father's indulgence. "

The question of the comparative pro
portion of really brave men in any army
will probably never be determined.
Great oScers ou the continent keep
their knowledge ou that subject rigor
ously as a irofeKsional secret and as
sume as a certaiuty that all soldiers axe
brave. They know very well, however,
that they are not, and when confiden
tial will admit, as Marshal von Moltke
once did in public, that with a gnat
number it takes discipline, and severe
discipline, too, to induce them to face
shells unshrinkingly. American officers
Lave been known to acknowledge that
of their men, who are as brave as any
in the world. 20 per cent would run
away if they could, and in every army,
even ours, which a man enters only of
free will, there is a certain proportion
who literally cannot overcome their
fears. They are stricken with a sort of
paralysis. The proportion is probably
n;t bigh in any array, the majority, if
in health, being able to do their duty
and having intense motivce to do it but
neither is the proportion high of those
who literally feel no fear. London

PRIMITIVE ANCHORS.
STONES AND WOODEN TUBES FILLED
WITH LEAD FIRST USED.
The Earliest Aaehora Made aa tha Hook
F-rliMilple Had Only One Fluke Crada
DeTieee That Are Still Teed la sV'fferent
Fn of tha World.
Thert appear to be two ideas which
have led tip to the invention of the
modern anchor: (1) the idea of attach
ing the vessel by means of a rope or
chain to a weight 6ufiicien0 heavy to
keep the vessel from moviiwben the
weight has sunk to the bottom of the
sea, and (2) the idea cf using a hook
instead of (or in additkw to) the weight
so as to catch in the bottom. The Eng
lish word anchor is practically the same
as the Latin ancora and the Greek ang
knra, meaning "that which has an an
gle, " from the root ank, bent
The earliest anchor made on the
book principle probably only bad one
fluke instead cf two. In the "Sussex
ArchariL ColL " there is an illustration
of what has been surmised to be an
anchor made out of the natural 1'orked
branch of a tree. It was fouaid with an
ancient British canoe at Burphara, Sas
sex. There is in the British museum an
interesting leaden anchor with two
flukes bearing a Greek inscription. Its
date is about 50 B. C. and it was found
off the coaf t of Cyrene.
The invention of the-anchor with two
flukes is attributed by Pausanius to
Midas, by Pliny to Eupalamas, and by
Sfrabo to Anachareis. Diodorus Siculua
states that the first anchors were wood
en tubes filled with lead, while another
classical writer says that before the in
troduction of metal anchors lumps of
stone with a hole through the middle
for the attachment of the cable were
used.
The form of the. anchors used by the
Greeks and Romans is well known from
representations ou Trajan's column and
in tlie catacombs at Rome aa an early
Christian symboL. This form does not
seem to have changed materially for
quite a thousand years, as is shown by
the Bayeux tapestry
Some very primitive kinds of anchors
are in use at the pi esentday in different
parts of the world, and a study of their
construction may throw some light on
the evolution of die modern anchor.
An anchor which came from Japan
consists of a natural forked brasrh of a
tree, siightly improved artificially, so
as to make a hook. Two round bars are
fixed at right angles to the shank, and
to these two ordinary beach pebbles are
tied. Tho length of the anchor is 2 feet
3 inches, tho width across the book 8
inches, and across the transverse bars 1
foot 6 inches. Tlie stones are from 5 to
6 inches in diameter and 2 inches thick.
Another anchor was in use quite re
cently in tho Arran islands, off the west
coast of Galway. It is constructed of a
sloping bar at each side and three cross
bars, forming a figure not unlike the
isosceles triangle in Euclid's pons asi
uomm. The lowest of the three cross
bars is of square section and is fixed by
iron spikes at each side to the sloping
pieces so as to prevent them spreading
on t ward. The stone, which acts as a
weight, is clipped by means of the two
side pieces, being held . tightly by two
spliced rings of - ropo passing under the
upper crossbars.
These crossbars are of round section
and project at each side, thus keeping
the rope rings from slipping upward.
The cable is fixed to the middle of the
lowest transverse, bar and is carried up
on one side of tlie stone, then between
the two sloping boards, and finally
through a loop fixed to a hole at the top
of the anchor. The boards at each side
are 1 foot 104 inches long and the
stone 1 foot 5 inches long.
It may seem strange that such primi
tive looking contrivances should con
tinue to be used by fishermen who have
a full knowledge of every modern ap
pliance connected with navigation end
vessels, yet there are good reasons why
they should have survived. Where the
sea or river bed is rocky anchors re
easily lost This is a serious matte;
when the anchor is of iron and of some
value, but if it is constructed like those
described there is not much difficulty
or expense in replacing it A beach
stone and a few bits of wood are always
at band, and the skilled workmanship
required to fashion them into a very
serviceable anchor is but small.
Thus it is that under certain condi
tions primitive appliances must always
hold their own against modern inven
tions. When, as often happens, a newly
introduced contrivance gets out of or
der, it generally involves much greater
loss of time and more expense to re
place it than if it were of sioipler con
struction and capable of being made by
an ordinary workman out of materials
easily procurable on the spot

promptly stuck Jerry In Jail on the

X DaBclag Feat,
A wonderful feat in dancing is re
corded from Berlin. At a' recent tall a
prize of a gold ring was offered to tho
lady who waltzed the longest without
stopping. Twelve couples competed.
They began waltzing at 12:S0 a, m and
it was 5 :45 a, m. before the winner and
her partner stopped waltzing. By 2 :30
tiro couples dropped out and at 5:15
another lady fainted. Two more couples
dropped out at 4 :45, and at 4 :50 only
two couples remained on the floor.

RECRUITS WHO KICK.
They Soon Learn That "Bnckinff"
Doesn't Pay,
AXD LIVE TO REGRET IT.
That receiit incident down to the
Tampa camp in which a young private
of the District Guard, ordered, along
with one of his companions, to do a bit
of log carrying for misconduct, declined
the issue and resorted to "bucking"
a foolish recourse for any man wearing
a uniform atid thereby plunged him
self into a court-martial mess, ought to
possess instructive features for new men
ia both of the services on land and sea.
The young- man who couldn't see into
the log pattiDg basinet-o, and chucked
j it to the ground with the declaration
mat ne "uaan't taken on lor mat wn
of thing," will learn. It may require
some considerable effort and hardship
on his part, but be will learn. The sol
dier or sailor who doesn't apprehend
the entire meaniDg of the word obedi
ence when be first jumps into hla uni
form Is by no means a hopeless case.
He generally turns out trig and right
minded after he has done a trick or two
in guardhouse or brig.
There are ways in both the army and
navy to bring buckers to their senses,
and the majority of buckers eventually
achieve sense enough to appreciate
what a hard proposition they are up
against in endeavoring to bring the
framersof regulations to an understand
ing of their incapacity, and they sub
side into good soldiers. A few buckers,
however, stick it out to the end. There
was such a bueker soldieriDg with an
artillery battery statioued at Alcatmz
Island, Cal., a few year ago. This
man, however, differed from the ordin
ary run of buckers, who buck not on
principle, but because they were born
that way. lie was accused of neglect
of duty on post, and the general court
martial sentenced him to three months
in the Alcatraz guardhouse. Guard
bouse prisoners are turned out at fatigue
call every morning to work around the
post This prisoner was turned out on
the morning following the receipt of
his sentence, along with half a dozen
other miDor prisoueri When he was
counted off to walk in the van of a sen
try, be turned to the provost sergeant,
and said he:
"I don't work."
"Hey?" Inquired the provost ser
geant. "I don't work," repeated the pris
oner. "Ob, I guess yes," said the provost
sergeant. "Sentry, take this man out
behind the officers' line to dump the
swill cans."
The prisoner gently slipped down and
stretched himself at full length on the
pebbly walk in front of the guardhouse.
"Not thi9 moruiug," said he. "Nor
any other morning. Nor any other
evening. No work. This man's army
is just j bout entering upon a huge and
determined effort to get along without
my prisoner's fatigue service. I hope
it'll succeed. But no work. You hear
that, don't you? I hope I make it clear.
No work for me, now or hereafter, for
the pushing along of this post or of the
United Slates array."
Then the prisoner jawDed, placed his
arms under his head, and took it easy.
The provost sergeant looked at the
man with bis eyes sticking out
"Lock a-here, my man," said be to
the prisoner, who was chewing blades
of grass that he idly pinched from the
lawn along the walk, "that's heavy
talk. Don't expect to make It stick, do
yoo?"
"Watch me," said the bucker, com
plaisantly. The officer of the day was called.
"Get up out of that," said the officer
of the day to the non-working prisoner.
"I'm tired," said the bucker, and
this provost man wants me to work.
Not much! No work."
Alcatraz was not Fort Sheridan, and
so the bucker was not prodded with
bayonets or dragged to the command
ing officer's office by a roe, but be was
put in the dungeon. The Alcatraz dun
geon ia below the level of the sea, and
the restless and often rtormy waters
may be beard from within the dungeon
beating against its outer walls. The
Alcatraz dungeon is infested with rats
of quite remarkable ferocity. For resting-place
the occupant of the Alcatraz
dungeon has a six-foot plank, and for
ration bread and water. The bucker
was given three days of it Then he
was brought out at fatigue call ou the
fonrtb morning. He was a bit pale,
and be didn't look like the 10 pounds
that be weighed before be went into
theduDgeoo,
"Ready to work now, eh?" said the
provost guard to the prisoner.
The bucker plucked a whp of grass
from the sward.
"Nope," said the prisoner, "and nev
er will be ready. You can put that
down. Dungeon or no dungeon, I don't
work out that ecu ten ce, not a day o, it,
nor a minute of it You bear me, don't
you ?"
The officer of the day got the same
reply. Three more days of the dungeon
was dished out to the bucker by order
of the commanding officer. The pris
oner was paler and thinner-looking yet
when be was thro-jgh with this dose.
"You have learned sense now, I'll
bet," said the provost sergeant
"If sense means work, I'm still a
learning," replied the bucker.
The man bad to be kept by regula
tion, three days locked up in the guard
bouse proper before being again relega
ted to the dungeon. When the three
days were up, into the dungeon be
went again, this time for a six-day trick.
He looked ghostly when be was
drawn up in the prisoner! ' line on the
seventh day.
"Willing to do a little coal-hauling
chore or two now?" iuquired the pro
vost sergeant
"No, and I never will be. Might as
well get that fact drilled into your thick
skull. I never will be."
Then the man was taken before tbe
commandiBg cfT.eer. He was talked to
rather nicely by the commanding offi
cer aud recommended to take a quiet
little tumble to himself.
"Go to work, like the other prison
ers, my man, and save yourself misery,
and get yourself restored to duty when
your sentence is worked out."
"Never," said the prisoner, and he
was a pretty pallid and thin-looking
lot, too, by this time.
During the ten-day trick in the dun
geon that followed this, the man was
found in tbe dungeon in a state of col
lapse. He was surveyed by tho post
surgeon. The commanding officer
thought It better, after the man got out
of the hospital, to "bob-tall" him out
right that is, dismiss him from service
without further ado. The man would
have died btfore he would have worked
under a sentry. He was one of the few
buckers who ever came out ahead in a
contention with military authority in
the regular army. - I
An apprentice boy alioard one of the
gunboats of our uevy performed a at if
bit of buckiag about three years ago
but after getting very much the worst'
of It, bis ner? left him, and be suc
cumbed. This boy took a dislike to one
of the chief .petty offleors. The lad was
a striker for the chief petty officers'
mess, and one day in a fit of temper he
threw the chief petty officer's msa
atool violently away from the mess-table.
Grown men in the navy are not
permitted to spank the appreuticehr"s,
much as the boys occasionally need
spanking, so this chief petty of.leer
weut to the officer of the deck and told
quietiy of the occurrence, saying that
while he didn't care to have the ly
punished, he'd have to insist upon the
apprentice's picking up the mess-stool
and replacing it at the mess-table. The
apprentice boy was summoned by the
officer of tbe deck, lectured and told to
pick op the chief petty officer's nje8
stool and replace it where it belonged.
Tbe boy would not do it, and said be
wouldn't This was simply mutiny,
but the boy's age was considered. He
was double-Ironed and put in the brig.
Ten days later be was given a chance to
put tbe mess stool back at the mess-table,
but be would a't do It. The stool
was pel mi t ted to remain ju9t where the
boy bad thrown It, even during Sun
day inspections and one muster. The
lad was general court-martialed for
rank disobedience of orders, and was
sentenced to thirty day9 confinement
in tbe solitary brig on bread and water.
After doiug twenty-seven days of this
bard stuut the lad wilted, babied at the
mast and was released. He picked up
the mess-stool.
Even when uniformed men of this
generation mutiny, or buck, in a body,
they very rarely make their point stick.
The reason why seven bells is never
struck ia tbe British navy is because at
seven bells one evening over one bund
red years ago, there were mutinies
long pre-arranged aboard a lot of Brit
ish ships of war throughout the world.
Seven bells has never been struck on
the evening watch on a British man-of-war
since that occasion, in order that
the absence of the half-hour tolling at
that particular period of day may be a
perpetual reminder of obedience to
British naval tars for the necks of a
Blew of the mutineers were stretched
when the thing was all over and tbe
mutinies were suppressed. But this
was a long time ago. Mutiny doesn't
go now. The old Hartford, Farragut's
flagship, had as wild and reckless a
gang of sailors aboard of ber after tbe
war as ever jumped to the pipiog of
mess gear. This ship's company tbeu
included scores of buckers. A few
years before the Hartford went out of
commiwdou the buckers got together
and decided that they didn't like the
quality of the neckerchiefs and tobacco
being served out to them by the ship's
paymaster. So they declined to ace pt
the tobacco and neckerchief. It was
a big ship's company, and the bucket
numbered 217. They thought they'd
surely overawe all hands with such
goodly numbers. The 217 of them did
all tbe way from two weeks to two
months in double irons fo' their little
job of skipper bulldozing, and that was
tbe last mutiny in our navy. But tbe
individual bucker remains, and be
probably always shall remain as long
as there is a navy.
The most picturesque bucker tbe reg
ular army of the United States ever
had was a wild Irish drum major who
arrived at bis finish at Fort Leaven
worth, Kid., a good long while ago.
The man was a good drum major, but
tbe commanding officer at the post had
to break him time and again to the
ranks for all-around tumult uouantss.
It wore on the Irish drum major might
ily, this thing of being frequently rele
gated to tbe privates' barracks for bad
conduct, and his nerves, no doubt, got
on edge. Anyhow, tbe last time be
was broke to the rank of private he
went into line at dress parade one after
noon with tbe determination that he'd
get square with the commanding officer
for breaking bim if be bad to hang for
it So, as the command was passing
in review before the commanding offi
cer the ex-drum major dropped quietly
out of ranks, made for a loose brick
walk, picked up a half brick and let
the c immanding officer have it right
in the chest The commanding officer
went down as if be had been bit by a
bullet. The soldiers broke ranks and
made for the ex drum major. He stood
them off, pelting them with bricks, for
ten minutes, and be used them up a
good deal. Then they overpowered
bim and he got twelve yettrs at the Fort
Leavenworth military prison.
Tbe army and I navy, in brief, are had
places for the man of ao analytical
turn of mind He is liable to meet up
with some things that were not devis
ed for analysis, but for performance.
There is justice, the very best quality
of it, in the two United fetates services,
do better in any service ia the world.
Rut the bucker who sets about to undo
the man with the gilt ornaments on bis
cap and blouse has got an inconceiva
ble amount of bitter experience in store
for bim. It is tbe easiest matter in tbe
world for a man to behave himself in
our land and sea services. The trouble
is that it is still easier to misbehave.
Rut the cost cf uiisix-havior is so heavy
that the young man of judgment stands
by willing to do anything to keep
his gaz- averted from the cool stare
of the Judge Advocate of a court mar
tial. The victory rests with America's
Greatest Medicine, Hood's Sarsaparilla
when it enters tie battle against im
pure blood.
Political Kotes.
There is no heat in tbe political cam
paign In this State except tbe ordinary
heat registered by the thermometer. The
gold Democrats have officially decided to
support tbe silver Jenka, but neither tbey
nor their silver brothers, nor HUnken
berg, nor the Van Valkeuburgs ex poet
any serious reduction in the Republican
majority.
The effect of what Republican diHsatis-
faetion there is will be partly annulled by
the feeliug that a vote against tbe Repub
lican ticket would seem like a vote of dis
satisfaction with the Administration's
conduct of the war. No matter bow little
sympathy we may have with this view of
tbe matter, it will have its effect, and tbe
Republican managers are going to work
that argument for all and probably more
than it is worth. Stone's nnj rity ought
