BUBONIC PLAGUE.
The Disease Has Been in Hong Konr
for Decade.

The Disease Has Been I'm Hong Konr
for Decade.
From the Shanghai Mercury
1t is now fully six years since the arriva,
in Hinghua, on the Fuhkien coast, of that
most unwelcome guest, the bubopjc plag,,e
We had heard of it's steady approach from
annoy south OF US, for two or three years.
and the newspapers had been keeping us
informed about it when it was commonly
spoken of as the Hong Kong plague, where
1t was supposed to have originated. But
the world has since learned that the peonIe
Of Hong Kong were not sinners above all
the Asiatics, that they should have hean
the first victims of this scourge of God to
make filthy humanity clean up long
Kong mas mad the plague more or less Sc
verely for ten years because It is 81 nce
the China coast and the hinterlan of this
colony has been the native heath whence
this worlds terror sailed forth upoa ,ts
tour of conquest. Each year we have sup-
posed would be the last We have been told
that three years would finish the visit and
the unlimited guest would take lis depart
ure. But such has not been the case Not
only is he still here, but age does not en-
feeble him, nor diminish his thirst for Luz
man life. The disease is more fatal than
ever and no less widely spread. Tie plan
of letting this enemy Of mankind die of ole
age Is not fulfilling the expectations cf its
friends 1t looks as though humanity
might die first. 1t is a common thing to
hear of a whole household perishing with
in a few days or perhaps leaving one or
two survivors. No attempt Is made al fso-
lation of patients nor disinfectins houses.
People run away from it to neignaoring
villages, only to carry the disease with
them. Streets still reek in filth and IN
fected clothes are sold at the pawn shops.

sheep. Their handiwork is scattered from
one end of the country to another, and
few homes are without some evidence of
the attempt these Indians have made to
substitute manufacturing for agriculture,
owing to the loss Of their water supply.
notable example of what irrigation has
done for Indians is found on the Crow
reservation in Montana. There the govern
ment furnished the money to build the
bitches and hired the Indians to do the
work. Not only did this give them oppor-
tunity for labor, but by the use of the
water the Crows are now becoming one of
the most advanced and most industrious
tribes of blanket Indians in the United
States.
The great difficulty in persuading Con-
gress to adopt the Arizona scheme seems
to be that the government viii get more
water than it needs for the Indians, but
1t is believed that majority will shortly
be obtained in Congress for the principle
involved in the reclamation of the arid
public domain by its owner, the United
States government. Regardless of this.
however, these Arizona Indians should be
furnished with a new water supply to take
the place of that of which they have been
robbed by government neglect. Failure to
give them this supply involves not only
the responsibility of their care, but moral
responsibility in destroying their only hope

DTlnkWater river is a feiicitous name for

The legend about the names of the aroup
OF islands on the south coast presents an
instance of how fancied resemblances give
rise to stories. 1t is related that these
islands once belonged to a man with four
daughters. To Nancy, the eldest, the father
gave the first choice, and the fact that

No Cork Legs.
From Notes and Queries.

rum NOTES anu queries.
After an experience of something over
thirty years as house visitor in one of the
largest of our provincial hospitals, i may
say no such definition as "a cork Leg has
been known in the surgical profession dur
ing the whole of that time. The express
sion, now practically obsolete, no doubt
originated In the fact that artificial limbs
were formerly made of steel or other metal
uprights. shaped up by layers Of cork; but

tutes for nature have always been con-
structed of wood-willow by preference be-
cause of its lightness and stability-cov-
cred with leather. Cork is never used. The
working joints are. of course, of finely tenn
pered steel. There are q understand from
one of the oldest and best known manu-

of legs known specially in the trade by the
names of inventors or distinguished wear

Farmers Alliance VIII Fight the Trusts.

was for business and not politics, says
tho Columbia Record.

against tho fortilizor trust.

that tho farmers would not pay tho "oxtra
tariff" Before thoy would do 80 thoy

tho prices arc proper, for Mt tho prosoEt
rates, ho said, tho farmor could mako no

Mr.. Wilborn insists that thore is no

but it is simply business proposition.

In Memory Of the President.

our Southern people deplOro it.

the Evangelical Lutheran church. Tho
pastor, Rev. j. G.. Schaid, read as n spe.
cial lesson, Titus 8, I-14, "Remind them
that they DO subject and obedient to
princes and the government" etc., and
in tho sermon said in substance
"The President of this people of Ame-
RIGA, probably the most richly blessed
people on tho globe, is dead, shot by an
assassin. We deeply doplore this; tho
shame that such could happen, in spite
of our great number of churches, civili-
cation and boasted progross. 1t is call
to repentance for the whole nation. 1t
is hate of order, onmity to good govern
mont, that did it. We have too much
reckless and iinpcrtinent discussion of
our government; wholesale denunciation
by i'll informed persons and immature
youths. There is n general want of do
cont regard, respect and reverence for
superiors, parents, government, law and
order. Are wo perhaps guilty of having
fostered these evil tendencies BY not
doing all wo can to countoract them ?
Have we cultivated those civic virtues all
we should Tho one remedy for ali
these is tho Spirit of God, given us in
tho Word of God, preached to us in the
Church Of God 1t is both our privilege
and duty to make that church pure and
