The BIudgeop. Of ConstantInople.

These men of Constantinople were
not armed in the common sense of the
word. Some of them had r%evolvers,
and the most of them had knives. But
they seldom used either; for awkward
questions might be raised if the police
were called to account for failing to
arrest armed civilians on the streets.
Carrying ax-helves, pick-ax handles,
heavy clubs like baseball bats, jagged
fragments of broken scantling; carry
ing anything that can crush the skull
of man, this horrible rabble flooded
the streets of all Christian quarters of
the city like an a~ll-desOlating tidal
wave, silent, but irresistible. Their
silence by day was almost as terrible
as their howls by night. They would
be e going along the street, when
they would meet an Armenian who
had ventured to reach his home. With
out a word they would break in his
skull and go on their way entirely I'M
moved, and hardly hauing spoken a
loud word. If resistance was offered
they had only to say: 1.-The Giaours
resist!" and a horde of their fellows
would come running from all direc-
tions to destroy one who had proved
his seditious quality by daring to resist

Farming Methods in Japan.

Japan is one vast garden and as you
lock over the fields you can imagine
that they are covered with toy farms
where the children are playing with
the laws of nature and raising samples
Of different kinds of vegetables and
grains. Everything is on a diminutive
scale, and the work is as fine and &C.
curate as that applied to a Cloisonne
vase. What would an Illinois or an Iowa
farmer think of planting his cora,
wheat, oats and barley in punches and
then, when it is three or four inches
high, transplanting every spear of it
in rows about as far apart as you can
stretch your fingers? A japanese
farmer weeds his wheat fields just as
a Connecticut farmer weeds his onion
bed, and c%ultivates his potatoes and
barley with as much car as a Long
Island farmer bestows upon his as
paragus and mushrooms or his flowers.

THE 8 Q PLAGUE.
It Is Conceded to BE a Revival of the
Ancient Plague.

It Is Conceded to BE n Revival of the
Ancient Plague.
The plague which has been raging
for SIX months past at Bombay, and to
come extent at other places in India. is
conceded TO be the + plague" In
its general character it is identical with
"the black DEATH which in the four
toenth century destroyed, it is said,
100000 lives in London, the lives OF
seyen-eighths of the population OF Eng
land and some 25,0OO,O0 persons, or
~one-fourth of the populatioaOf Europe.
But sanitary science is supposed to have
mitigated its viruience or lesseEed it's
opportunities. In Bombay, with $780,
900 inhabitants, the mortality is kept
down to about 900 per week. Calcutta,
with 100000 inhabitants, owing to eff
ficient sanitation is substantially free
from the plague.
At the first outbreak in the past year
nearly every case was fatal. Up to the
third week of November 73O persons
had been attacked, and of these 81
died. Its victims are almost uniform
~ very poor and ill-fed natives. The
English seldom or never take the dis
ease. The steps taken to purify the
cities of India, in order to protect them,
consist chiefly in cleansing them by n
liberal use of water. AS in fighting
the famine, SD in fighting the plague,
the Hindoos are indebted to the arts
and sciences of Europe. But for the
foreign government, with its railroads
and advanced ideas, the mortality of
India would during the present affiic-
ton of famine and plague be increased
doubtless by many millions.
The plague is a glandular fever, at
tended with Il swelling of the groin.
1t seems to be unknown whether it is
due to a microbe or to ~unSanitary con
ditions. 1t ravagcd Hong Kong a few
years ago, destroying many thousands
there. 1t is endemic in China and the
Euphrates valley, just as cholera has
its home in the delta of the Gauges.
London suffered from it in 1865 and
again in 1870. During the present CEN
fury Asia has been the chief scene of
its activity. In 1880 at Bagdad, the
death rate from it was 1000 d day, and
on April p of that year as many as 3d.
600 dead bodies were counted there. 1t
appeared again on the EuphrateS in
1857, 1873 and 1871. Its ravages in
China have been enormous, but little
was known IN Europe of the extent of
the losses it caused.-Baitimore Sun.

The Bull and the Government Papers.


Here is a comical adventure that
some members of an English ord
nance survey met with while tour
ing in the south of Scotland. In the
prosecution of their calling they en-
tered a field belonging to a crUsty
old farmer Seeing the strangers
looking about III 4 way he could not
understand, the farmer approached.
What are We lettering in the
field fors''
"Oh, we have a right to go any
where, returned one of the compa-
ny. I'VE are surveying, and here
are our government papers.
Paper here or paper there, +" re
turned the farmer, "oot ye gang oot
O my field"
mo, we shan't," returned the
man, land you are rendering your
self liable to prosecution for inter
rupting us.
The farmer said no more, but
went over to his shed, which opened
into the field, and let out a vicious
bull. The bull no sooner saw tho
redcoats than he went for them in
full career. The surveyors snatched
up their theOdolite and flew for their
lives, while the old farmer, in great
glee, yelled after them:
''What are ye running for? Can
ye no show the bull yer government
papers l"-Harper's Round Table.

The Prison Labor Question.

In England question that agi-
tates us is discussed d-that of prison
labor Sir Edmund Du Kane pre-
sents one phase of the subject in
The Contemporary Review:
The fact has evidently never been
considered by those who assume
that industrial work can be intro
duced as the general practice in
prisons on the supposition apparent
ly that the moral effect IS the only
point to be considered 1t is only
small residue who can be profitably
employed
To find employment even for this
limited number is not without diff
culties, the principal of which is to
find customers for the work they
can do. Evidently the prison depart
ment itself has wants which prison
labor can supply, and accordingly,
since the prisons have been united
into one department. q great develop
ment of this work has taken place,
such as was not possible when each
prison was an isolated unit. Tailor
ing, shoemaking, tin working, weav-
ing, knitting and many other like
trades are now carried on in certain
local prisons for the supply of the
whole number A very large amount
of building work, involving carpen-
tering, bricklaying and iron work,
has been carried on in local prisons,
and this, with the baking, cooking,
washing, etc, absorbs a large num-
ber of the available prisoners. But
there is still a large residue for
whose work outside consumers must
be found, and this residue viii be
larger if the gross number of prison
ers should again increase.

Mover Touched It.

Fill tiny tumbler with wator and cover it with a bowl Then tell the company that you will drink the water in the tumbler underneath without moving the bowl.
 Of course no ono will believe you, and you ask all to turn their backs or close their eyes, if they will promise not to look. until one of the party counts ten. Immediately they have turned their eyes you pick up another glass of water and hastily swallow few mouthfuls. They hear the sound, but no ono can look until ten is counted. By that time the glass from which you drank Is hid- den again and the company catches you wiping your moist lips. Undoubtedly one of the number will be so suspicious that he will lift the bowl to sec. and then is your opportunity, for you at once pick up the glass and drink. say ing, as you put it down, "I didn't touoh the bowl.
