RAvAGES OF A PLAGUE.
In China Disease Is Carrying on People
by Tens of Thousands.

SHANGHAI, June 12.-No brief COM
munications on the subject can convey
an adequate idea of the character and
extent of the visitation which is raw
aging Canton, Paklios and Hong
kong. The disease has long been raging
in the two frst-named places, and it
has carried off tens of thousands
of victims in the last few weeks. 1t

plague, which is described by medical
men as ssimilar in appearance and symp-
toms to 1.-The great plague of London, -
which devasted that city in 1865, was
noted first in Canton toward the
end of April. The disease is
accompanied by terrific fever, the
temperature going at bound up to
1O5 and 1O6 degrees. Up to May at
least 10000 people have died in Can

MARQUETTE, Mich, June IL. = De-
structive forest fires are raging in the
neighborhoodo of Nestoria, 80 miles west
of here. Two bridges on the West
Shore road, near here, were burned
late Saturday, stopping traffic

people have learned curious facts con-
cerning these amphibious creatures.
A gentleman living in the southern
part of France had large frog pond
on his ground and was very fond of
studying the habits of it's inhabitants.
One day he saw great change in the
appearance of certain frog of which
he had made a pet. 1t looked as if it
had in some way acquired pair of the
puffed breeches which gentlemen used
to wear in the courts of James l., of
England, and Louis XIII. of France.
This change made him curious to
know what 1T meant, and all the more
SO when he found that almost every
day more and more of the frogs were
wearing the same queer-looking things.
BY watching carefully the gentle
man soon found the cause of the
strange, new article of frog dress.
The mother frog, it seems, considers
that her duty is discharged when she
has laid her eggs. These all adhere
together, forming long chain of many
links. As soon as She has deposited
these on the bank of the pond she hops
away, seeming to forget all about them,
and they would never hatch out if the
father frog did not come to the rescue.
With no little difficulty he winds these
chains of neglected eggs around and
around his own short thighs-thus pro-
aucing the appearance of the putfed
breeches.
He then proceeds to hide himself
among the marshy grasses around the
pond until the eggs are ready to hatch
out. Then he goes into the water. In
Ihttle while the shells burst, letting
