THE BLACK DEATH.


Peouliarities OF tho Terrible Plague which
Is sweeping China.
WASHINGTON, June 16.-The records of
the department Of state throw light on
the singular plague which is now rayag-
ing China, and make it evident that this
most fatal disease is really very similar to
the black death or plague which devas-
tated London as told by Dcfoe. 1t has its
origin i'm Yunnan, a Chinese province
where it is epidemic. The Catholic mis-
sionaries there held that it was really a
pestilential emanatiOu slowly rising in an
equable stratum from the ground, and as
it increases in depth all animals are, as it
were, drowned in its poisonous fiood-the
smaller creatures being first engulfed,
and man, the tallest of all, suffering last.
It's approach often may be fOretold from
the extraordinary movements of the rats,
who leave their holes and crevices and is
sue on to the floors without a trace of
their accustomed timidity, springing con-
tinually upwards from their hind legs as
if they were trying to jump out of some
thing. The rats fall dead, and then comes
the turn of the poultry. After the poultry
have succumbed pigs, goats, ponies and
oxen successfully die off,
| In man its approach is indicated by the
| eruption of one or more minute red pust-
ules, generally in the armpits, but occa-
sionally in other glandular regions. If
several pustules appear the case is not
considered so helpless as when they are
| few The sufferer is soon seized with eX-
| treme weakness, followed in a few hours
| by agonizing aches in every part of the
body. Delirium shortly ensues, and in
nine cases out of ten the result is fatal
1t often happens that the patient sud
denly, to all appearances, RECEIVERS and
leaves his bed, but in such cases the ter
mination is always collapse and death.
As soon as a case appears the Chinese
desert the afflicted, leaving him in g
room with jug Of water, and peering il
the window atintervals, and prodding the
victim with a long pole to see if life is ex
tinct. To make matters worse, in the
country the corpses are not buried, but
are laid out to decay in the sun, poisoning
the air for miles around. The disease wa'
never known before 1860, when it ap
peared during the great Mohammedan re
| belliOn.

What May BE Done at odd Moments.

When at night the busy woman
counts up her used and wasted op-
portunities she thinks. espairingly:
IF only had those odd minutes in
one lump at a time, how much /
could accomplish which now seems
unattdinable. But something can
be done with these odd moments
which are so eXasperatingly unpro.
ductive to the diligent one. This is
indisputable, because there are those
who have used just such minutes to
advantage Many true examples
there are to confirm the statement.
A woman who was obliged to wait
at the breakfast table for a dozen
boarderS to struggle down, in her
waiting moments manufactured yards
Of dainty lace, which she found a
profitable way.of employing the time.
Another young woman, who daily
waited a quarter Of an hour tor an
elderly friend to go driving, kept a
book on the hall table and in the
waiting times Of one summer man
aged to Do e creditaOle amount of
historical reading. Another kept a
novel 'going" in each room OF the
house, and whenever she waited for
dinner managed to read few chap
ters of which ever book was the
handiest The only reading moments
of one busy woman was the time she
spent every day putting her baby to
sleep and her book was kept in readi-
ness for the operation. New York

an Incident Showing a High Degree OF
Canine Intelligence.
I'm front Of Grace Church the other

ness a delightful example Of canine
intelligence, says writer ia the
New York Press, A young man in a
Chesterfield coat, a bell-crOwn silk
hat and white spatS over patent
leather shoes, was am bling innocently
along and airing a setter dog. He
met pleasing young woman in a
blue bonnet, and they stopped to
chat. The dog, left to himself, in
vestigated the vicinity to the end OF
his chain, and then proceeded 70 de-
scribe number Of concentric circles.
At the end Of the fifth circle he had
chained up the TWO young people in
a close embrace. The situation was
embarrassing for both, and equally
SO for the dog The man struggled
valiantly and the dog pulled hard
with the result that several hundred
people collected to witness the unique
spectacle Of two well-dresSed young
people vigorously embracing each
other in bread daylight Sexton
Browns successor stood within the
doorway of the sacred ediice and
grew purple with Indignation The
more the young man struggled the
closer he was drawn to the young
woman Suddenly the dog stopped
pulling, and evidently made up his
mind that something had to be done.
Then, with reproachful look at his
master he deliberately turned and
proceeded TO trot lack over the
course he had taken. unwinding the
chain. When at last the young peo-
lie were tree, the crowd cheered.
The man petted the dog and the
young woman escaped into restau-
rant During all this time it never
occurred to the young man to follow
around the dog and unwind himself.

CATARRH IS SYSTEMATIC

In all cases. There is no such thing as local
catarrh. There is no such thing as catarrh
of the head only. or catarrh of the stomach
only, or catarrh of the throat only, or ca
tarrh of the bladder only, or catarrh of any
other part or organ only. Catarrh is system
attic first, last and all the time. Consump-
ton might as well be called local disease
because the lungs appear to be the parts
most affected. Catarrh in any case is as
systematic as consumption. The whole sys-
TEN is contaminated with catarrh matter.
Every drop of blood in the body is charged
with the poison. which is picked up from the
stomach by the blood and carried around IN
circulation afrer dropping down from the
head. Under these circumstances 1t would
appear worse than nonsensical to expect to
cure your catarrh by poklng, squirting,
shutting o. intaling something or other up
your nose. If you ever get cured of catarrh,
it must be by an inward medicine that Is
competent to take all the poisonous catarrh
matter down and out of the system from the
inside, putting your whole system in the
proper condition and purifying the blood, so
that you are not catching colds to produce
catarrh or any other disease. What is the use
of throwing your money away or losing your
time, month after month or year after year,
when you can get cured of the most aggra-
waited case of catarrh of any kind in one or
two weeks by using the Red Cross Constltu-
tional, the only medicine known at the pres
ent day that is competent 30 cure catarrh IN
this the proper and only way that 1t can be
cured. Cures guaranteed IN all cases. Write
for circulars of general information.
