THE PLAGUE.

How devastating the bubonic plague
now raging in India is is indicated by
the fact that while Bombay has had
about a million inhabitants the num-
deaths to less than four hundred thou
sand 1t is being seriously considered
whether it is not best to burn up the
entire native section Of Bombay in or
der to purify that quarter and kill the
disease germs.
While it is expected that the plague
will continue and even increase its raw
ages in India there is yet no scare
about it in other countries except per-
haps in Russia. But no chances are to
be taken, and the European countries
will take steps at once to prevent the
introduction of the Asiatic filth plague
into Europe. At the Suez canal there
are two quarantine stations with dis
injecting apparatus. All vessels from
Bombay or other Asiatic cities must
pass through the canal before they can
enter the Mediterranean, and such yes
sells will be put into quarantine and flu
migated. In this country the New
York health authorities are awake to
the situation. Health officer Doty has
no fear that the disease will make any
trouble here. He points out that the
disease is one which thrives in the
presence of filth and famine; that in
full sanitation and policing; that pa
TENTS have not been cared for in the
way Of proper food and medical treat
ment, and that the officials have not
had the cooperation of the natives.
These neglects are among the most po-
tent agencies in the propagation of the
disease, and as these agencies do not
exist to any extent in this country the
disease, even if it reached these shores,
would not receive the encouragement
of these conditions. AS the period of
incubation of the plague does not ex-
coed ten or twelve days, and as more
than this period is ordinarily consumed
in a passage from the Mediterranean
ports, and even from Hamburg, it is
evident that an infected person en-
barking at any of those ports would be
almost sure to be taken ill before the
vessel reached this country, which
would place the vessel at once under
the observation of the quarantine Off
Gals Should the disease reach New
York city the almost perfect methods
| of isoIating and caring for cases would,
DIR. Doty, thinks, prevent any spread of
the disease.
1t is to be hoped that sanitary sci
ence win show conquering skill, and
power in this important contest.

II VIZ LEIft " EGOfIIIIONS,
Next to the negotiations for an arbi-
tration treaty between England and
the United States no public matter is
more important and interesting just
now than the proposed athletic treaty
between Yale and Harvard, The course
Of the negotiations concerning this
treaty has been as careful and inn
pressive as could be desired. There
has been a very proper number Of
moves" come ons," "break-offs,"
renewals" "intimations" and "propo-
sitions." And after them all it is sadly
and cautiously reported that it is not
impossible that Yale will make athletic
arrangements without regard to Har-
ward. But while it is so reported it Is
to be hoped that the resources of Uni
versity diplomacy are not exhausted.
Indeed, we hear, by private and secret
message, that they are not, that things
are not wholly what they seem, and
lHdl IL 10 not iihpoSSlpie tAetl ASSotld-
tons between the two great athletic
powers may soon be in full blast again.
They ought to be and they ought to be
amicably concluded sometime. There
is no real reason why Yale athletes
and Harvard athletes should not play
with each other in each others yard.
1t will be pleasing and encouraging to
soon read about some more negotia-
| tions to this end.

1t was Henry de VaIois who brought
into fashion aromatic sauces and vari-
Gus spicy dainties inheriting his taste
for cooking from Catherine de Medicis,
who introduced into France, not only
ices, but much of the culinary art from
Italy. Louis XIV. was devoted to gas
tronomy, and for his use liquors were
invented in his old age, when, it is said
he could scarcely endure existence
without succession of artificial stimu-
lants. But the pertinacity with which
Charles V. of Spain gratified his Ape
