THE BUBoNlc PLAGUE.
Its Causes and Effects Explained by One
Who Has Seen 1t.

| An English resident just arrived in Lon
don, England, in an interview has given a
brief sketch of the symptoms and causes of
| the plague. He says: just before l left In
| dia, there was heavy rainfall, which fol
many days prevented any intercourse be-
| tween the different parts of the country.
The marshy and Doggy parts of the country
became saturated with rain water. se The
crops were ruined. Suddenly the rain
ceased, to be followed by the scorching
heat Of the sun. Just at this time the plague
broke out in the city of Bombay, first OF
all in that part known as Manri, low mar
shy place, where there are many grain
storehouses. The general symptoms of the
nlague are these: In the beginning the col
OF of the patients skin changes; all physl-
cal strength disappears; the face looks like
that of an insane or intoxicated person; the
patient becomes feverish. The Emphatic
glands, in the thighs or in the neck, OF IN
the armpit, become swollen. This symptom
has given the name "bubonic' to the
plague. If you touch the patient on the
swollen part it gives him intense and sharp
pain Respiration becomes hard and the
patient loses his reason; he cannot reply
intelligently to questions put to him; at last
he faints, and ultimately dies.

Making Pretty Underwear.

In these days of simple fashions the
task of making pretty underwear is a
comparatively light one. A great many
young women who cannot afford to buy
the French underwear of the shops
prepare their own garments from sam
pies which they purchase for the pur-
pose. 1t is better to shrink all cloth by
wetting it in boiling and then in cold
water and allowing it to dry outdoors.
After it is dry sprinkle and iron it. For
convenience, the proper lengths for the
fronts and backs of nightgowns may be
tori off before they are shrunk. 1t is
much easier to handle these than an
entire piece of muslin. Allow about two
inches for s%hrinkage. Do not cut out
the gown; merely tear off the lengths.
If there is much feather stitching used
it is a good plan to shrink the thread
for this. Use No. 8 spool cotton for
this purpose. The No. 60 and No. 70
cotton are about the proper thread for
sewing ordinary muslin. The No. 46
cotton is used generally in making but
tonholes on mems shirts, collars and
other linen. 1t is also the right num-
Der for buttonholes on women's under
wear. When fine nainsook, dimity and
sheer cambrics are used for ~undergar-
ments a much finer cotton than those
named should be chosen. One cannot
always follow the old rule and match
the cotton to the thread.

Blood Poison and Insanity.

From the New York Medical Record:
While the fullest credit should be CIV
en- to the staff of this important in
stitution (the State Institution of Path
ology), it is but fair to state that the
study of toxaemia in connection with
insanity is by no means a novelty, nor
is it the discovery of the enterprising
young gentlemen connected with the
establishment who have been credited
Herewith. Over a decade ago Solomon,
Regis and others recognized the toxic
origin of mental disease, while no less
than ten others, among them Herter and
Smith, have written extensively on the
subject. Perhaps most credit should
be given to DR.. Allan McLane Hamil-
ton, whose paper on "Autotoxis as a
Cause of Insanity" was read before the
Medical Society of London in May last,
and noticed in your London letter a
short time subsequently. In this pa
per, which contained much original re-
search, the connection between toxae-
mia and insanity was fully shown.

THE DEAF GIRL UNDERSTOOD
Young Mans Tender Remark to Hi,
True Love,

Young Mans Tender Remark to His
True Love.
1t doesn't always pay to express your
Utmost thought even g%uardedly in the
presence of deaf mutes, says the Bos-
tor Record. A story was told at the
meeting of the Woman Suffrage Asso-
citation yesterday afternoon which
showed conclusively the wisdom of the
above remark. A devoted couple who,
apparently, had been long separated
were thrust suddenly into each others
company at a largely attended recep-
ton. The lady who told the story said
that she was present in company with
an educated deaf girl. The happy re-
united pair displayed fully the thoughts
that were in their hearts by the beam
upon their c~ountenances. Suddenly the
young man drew near to the one whom
he adored and said in a low tone, in
audible to those about him, a few SEEM
ingly affectionate words. The deaf girl
watched the proceedings with intense
interest and suddenly broke into a
broad grin. Her companion inquired
what it was hat amused her. She
turned about so that the couple could
not see her and replied:
THAT man said, If all these people
were not here I'd kiss you. If they
don't get out of the "a pretty soon
shall have to before them The girl
replied: Then l shall Scream"
The deaf girl understood their words
by the motion of their lips.

sort of malice that says just enough
to suggest and not enough to furnish
any chance for confronting or punish
ing the speaker. The man or oma
who hints evil or avs halfway Joking
things that start evil thoughts In the
minds of others is unfit for decent
people to associate with. They should
be banished from the society of their
fellows and punished as they deserve
with the loss of all respect and con-
sideration of those about them. The
~insinuating circulator of falsehoods is
the blacklist of criminals and deserves
a hangman's rope. Society is power
less, and law, as 1t now stands, seems
unable to mete out suitable punishment
to these offenders.

BUDAPEST.
The Picturesque and Lively Yankee City
of the Old World.

The Picturesque and Lively Yankee City
of the Old World.
Budapest, as everybody knows, is
formed of two cities, separated by the
Danube and Joined together like New
York and Brooklyn by great bridges,
says Scribner's. Buda is a city hun.
dreds of years old and rises on a great
hill covered with yellow houses with
red-tiled roofs and surmounted by for
tresses and ancient German looking
castles and the palace of the king, with
terraces Of marble and green gardens
running down to meet the river. 1t
still is a picturesque fortified city of
the middle ages. Pesth, just across the
way, is the most modern city in Europe
more modern than Paris, better
paved and better lighted, with better
facilities for rapid transit than New
York, and with houses of parliament
as massive and impressive as those on
the banks of the Thames and not n
like them in appearance. Pesth is the
Yankee city of the old world, just as
the Hungarians are called the Ameri-
cans of Europe. 1t has grown rapidly
in forty years, and it has sacrificed
neither beauty of space nor line in
growing. 1t has magnificent public
gardens, as well as a complete fire de-
partment; it has the best club in the
world, the Park club, and it has found
time to put electric tramways under
ground and to e monuments to
poets, orators and patriots above
ground. People in Berlin and Vienna
tell you that some day all Of these
things will disappear and go to pieces;
that Pesth is enjoying a boom" and
that the boom will pass and leave only
the buildings and the electric plants
and the car tracks, with no money in
the treasury to make the wheels go
round. do not know whether this is
or is not to be, but let us hope it Is
of the mind that sees nothing in prog
ress but disaster and makes advance
ment spell ruin. People who live in a
city where one is asked to show a
passport, a certificate of good health,
a police permit and a residence caro- in
order to be allowed to mount a bicycle,
as l was asked to do in Berlin, can
hardly be expected to look with favor
on their restless, ambitious neighbors
of the Balkans.

turns for the past few years, and more
brood mares have come upon the mar
ket than ever before in an equal space
of time. Comparatively few foals have
been born, and prices are bound to rise
before long. Aside from all questions of
value, few people who live in suburban
places care to be without horses, and
the question of housing them suitably
has to be met by a large proportion of
builders. The carriage house and sta
Bile must be Influenced more or less by
the nature of the ground and the rela-
tive position of the house to which it
belongs. The general rule, Of course,
is that it should be inconspicuous, or
II 1t is where it must be seen, it should

1shed villa. At the same time it's SUBJ
ordinate character must be born in
mind SO that it may not detract from
the dignity of the dwelling, even if
the general style Of the house is fol-
lowed in the matter of architecture.
The ornamentation must be far less
profuse and ornate. Extreme simplic-
ity combined with strong and artistic
lines always give the best results. The
accompanying plans show a stable that
would grace any suburban place, and

A Brave

A very pathetic story comes from
Australia describing a kangaroo's dar-
ing for the sake of her young. The
owner of a country station was sitting
one evening on the balcony outside his
house when he. was surprised to notice
a kangaroo lingering about, alternate
ly approaching and retiring from the
house, as though half in doubt and fear
what to do. At last she approached
the water pals, and, taking a young
one from her pouch, held it to the wa
ter to drink. While the baby was sat
isfying its thirst the mother was quiv-
ering all over with excitement, for she
was only a few feet from the balcony
on which one of her greatest foes was
sitting watching her. The little one,
having finished drinking, it was re-
placed in the pouch and the old kan
CARGO started off at a rapid pace. When
the natural timidity of the kangaroo
is taken into account. it will be recog-
nized what astonishing bravery this
affectionate mother displayed.

An economy that many h~ousekeepers
are unaware of or disdain is that of the
use of the legs of a fowl. Miss Parloa
adverted to this lately in a talk on
French cooking, stating that so priced
are they in the French cuisine that in
Paris five sous a pair is the market
price for them. A practical demonstra-
ton of their treatment was given. A
pair cut off at the usual joint was
plunged for a minute perhaps in boil
ing water. then taken out and, with a
sharp kitchen knife, quickly skinned,
the tough wrinkled cuticle peeling off
almost like a glove. The toe nails were
then cut off and the feet thus entirely
clean were ready for use. They should
be boiled six or eight hours in a pint
of water to a pair. They are very rich
in gelatinous matter and the stock
made from them - a cheap and strong
~ly-fiavored base for soups, gravies and
sauces of various kinds. In France they
are sometimes roasted crisp after being
cleaned, and served with a bit of gar
nish as an esteemed course. pigs
