houses are unusually large-Such as
are hardly paralIeled in any other part
of Asia. The native baZaarS, which eX-
tend from the fort toward Mazagon,
are traversed by fairly wide streets,
extensive lines of tramwav passing
through even the most crowded parts.
PICTURESQUE STREET SCENES.
The scene here is, as is usual in the
orient, full of quaint color and form.
The green (worn by the descendants
of the prophet only, and gold turban
of the Mahommedans, the large red or
white headdress worn by the Maratha,
the brown or black brimless hat of the
Parsee the curious pointed turban of
the Guzerathi, and many other va
rieties of dress give life and brilliance
to the native quarters.
In the fort itself there are many ma
tive houses adorned with pillars, por-
ticos and verandas and ornamental
woodwork.
1t seems that Lord Sandhurst, the
governor of Bombay. and his official
assistants have placed unbOunded re-
lance upon the sanitary arrangements
of the city to crush the plague. The
first cases occurred in November last,
but the English press paid scarcely
any attention to them. For 3 time the
authorities seemed TO hold the disease
in check. but in the middle of Decem-
Der it began to spread with awful ra-
pidity. In the cabled reports which
say the population has been cut in two
no reference is made to the numbers
who have fled from the city. but these
doubtless form a considerable part Of
the $50, 900.
Bombay, like Calcutta, has Il prac-
tically inexhaustible water supply.
brought by engineering works from
distant points to the city. Bombay
relied upon her complete system of
waterworks to fight the plague, but
seemingly with small success. The
water system is so arranged that the
sewers are thoroughly flushed and all
nOxious products are rapidly disposed
of by scientific drainage.
Every few years the plague breaks
out in the east. In 1867 and 1878 it ap-
peared on the banks of the Euphrates,
in 1871 it devastated Persian Kurdis-
tan, in 1877 in Bagdad and a few years
ago in Hong Kong. In 1880 it visited
Bagdad, killing off the inha bitants at
the average rate of 1000 per day, and
one day, the 21st of April, 10000 people
died of the scourge.
1t is the same plague which visited
London in 1868 and Marseilles in 1920.
1t last visited Europe in 1S41, but was
speedily controlled.

Waited FOR RosIE's HAND.
Rival Lovers Settle an Affair of the
Heart in Novel Style.

Philadelphia Press: Oscar Whitman
and Ernst Masserman both coveted the
aa9d of Rosie Cohen. and to settle the
d--ruted question they waltZed for the
al prize, Whitman winning III one
round
Not only is Rosie Cohen well up in the
front rank of New York east side bellies,
bat her grace, style and execution as an
all-round dancer have heralded her fame
beyond that district. Whitman and Mas
sermtH met the fair belle at an east side
social affair and straightway fell il love
with her. The young men settled this
question and from friends they gradu-
ally grew TO be rivals.
Much distressed over this double dose of
lInaying love, Miss Cohen consulted Jake
Seigman, q renowned east side diplomat
Jake saw his friend. Samuel Wagner. who
proposed that Il reception be given at
which the rivals should spiel to Il finish,
Rosie 10 accept the contestant who
proved the better dancer. In Difference TO
the feelings of the rivals, the waltz took
place without the knowledge of the com
Dany Not even the maids who danced
with Whitman and Masserman realized
TIE import of that dreamy spiel, and as
for Rosie, her emotion would not permit
her to gaze upon the scene.
At 9 o'clock. Mr.. Seigman, elegantly ar
rayed in evening dress. told the rivals to
take their corners. MaSserman grabbed
d little girl and glided ecstatically down
the hall lodging the posts in manner
that won round after round of applause
from the few friends in the secret. Oscar
Whitman selected d tall girl and the
great struggle was on. MI Whitman
danced superbly, not 4 wrinkle marring
the glossy smOothness of his coattails,
which stuck straight out behind as he
spun.
Referee Seigman watched the gliding
couples with a puzzled eye. He would
probably have declared a draw, but at
the last dying gasp of She May Have
Seen Better Days, Mr.. Masserman
steDDed on a parlor match. The eXplo-
son caused him TO leave his feet for a
second. and before the little man could
recover, the hand of Rosie Cohen was
lost TO him forever.

Hermann,s skill at Cards.

Chicago Times Herald: The late Alex

manipulation of cards that this country

One of the crooks finally dealt Hermann
four kings. The betting grew interest

large pyramid of chips in the center of
the table. one of the gamblers threw
down four aces md reached for the ivor-
les. Wait, calmly remarked Hermann,
laying down his hand 1t contained five

Millions of Frogs Rain Down

One of the most curious phenomena
of nature is the precipitation of frogs,
fish, crabs. angle worms, etc, with
rain from the clouds. In this mote"
it is not our purpose to discuss the
scientific aspects of these singular
showers, but simply to relate one of the
most remarkable instances of the kind
that has ever been put on record by
the observers. The story is told in the
annals of the French academy, and
may be found in the August number,
1904. The narrative is by one Pro-
fessor Pontus. IN it he gives an ac-
count of an instance of millions of
frogs which fell in a shower near
Toulouse. He states that he himself
saw numerous young frogs on the coats
of two gentlemen who were out in the
shower Professor Pontus says that
he forthwith repaired to the spot
where the storm had burst and found
the roads and fields literally alive with
young frogs and tadpoles" In some
places says the professor, they were
three or four deep all over the ground.
and the h0ofs of the horses and the
carriage wheels killed thousands of
them"
