Hot-Cross Bun Memorial.

At Bromley-by-Bow England, is a public-house with the sign of The Widows Son, and there a curious old custom is maintained. Once the tavern was kept by widow with an only son. He started on sea voyage on a Good Friday, and promised that he would be back by that day in the fol- lowing year. He did not come, but for years the mother kept her promise to prepare hot cross bun for his re- turn. Each year she lived the anxious mother observed the custom, which has been maintained by successive hosts and hostesses of the inn ever since.

WARS NEW HORROR.
Awful Things in Combat that Science
 Has Brought About.

AWFUL 1uIuSS III NOmDuC tndL 0CleuCo Has Brought About. It has been the notion of humanita- rians that the more horrible war Is ui- lowed to become, the more quickly there would come time when all the world could be persuaded to peace. It has been the notion of optlmists that modern science would rid war of its most revolting features.
 Just what is to be proved by the war in Asia it is hard to tell, but it is certain that science has added to the horrors of actual combat in the field instead of decreasing them, and that there are certainly enough to make the civilized world rise against any repetition of them, if they can only be made well enough known and brought home to those who still think that war is anything but what Gen. sherman called it.
 Richard Barry, an eye witness, has recently published his Port Arthur; A Monster Heroism." In it he quotes the words of Frederick Villiers, who has seen and described no fewer than seventeen wars, on the points involved. MT. Villiers says, speaking before Port Arthur fell:
 "The truth about war cannot be told It is too horrible. The public will moi listen. A white bandage about the forehead with strawberry mark on its center is the picture they want of the wounded. They won't let you tell the truth, and show bowels ripped out, brains spilled, eyes gouged away, faces blanched with horror.
 "The only painter who ever told the truth about war was Verestchagini drowned over there in the harbOr. He in paint, and Zola in words, told the truth, and they were howled down and ostracized all their lives simply because the theorists Qike Dr. Nicholas Senn of Chicago), fed up with themselves, nursed in the belief that science is all powerful, will always assure the pub lie that war is humane.
 Scientific warfare! Let me tell you the facts about science. Archibald Forbes predicted twenty years ago that the time would come when armies would no longer be able to take their wounded from the field of battle. That day has come. We are living in it. Wounded have eXisted-how, God alone knows!-on that field out there without help, for twelve days, while shell and bullets rained over them. If a comrade had dared to come to their assistance he would have been a use- less suicide.
 "The searchlght, the engineer of sci entific trenches machine guns, rifles point blank at POO yards with a range of 2,000-these things have helped b make warfare more terrible now than ever before in history"

How Emerson Impressed the Guide.


 A New York man fond of passing much of his time in the Adirondacks tells Harpers Weekly story with reference to visit made to that pie turesque region by Ralph Waldo Emerson. According to one of the ole guides, who remembered the philoso. pher, Emerson had enjoyed his stay immensely. Once some one asked this guide, known as "Steve," what sort of an impression the Sage of Concord had made upon the natives. Well, sir" obligingly responded the guide, "he was a gentleman, every inch of him; as nice chap as you'd care to see-pleasant and kind. And he was a scholar, too, allus fggerin', studyin and writin', though we did think he'd had better time a-huntin' an a-fsh- in; but, sir, Pm here to state that he was the allfredest, homeliest critter for his age that ever came into these woods"

PLAGUE DEATH ROLL IS VAST
Great Britain Accused of Taking Inade-

Great Britain Accused of Taking Inade-
 quate Measures in India.
 In 1903 the number of deaths from plague in India was S53,0OO; in lo04 l. was over 1,000,000, being l,04O,0OO. O. the 1,00Q000 deaths more than 3o0,OC. occurred in one province, and tha; province was the Punjab, the one from which some of our best Indian sol diers are recruited. Consider the pos sible significance of fact like this upon the efficiency of our Indian army. The Punjab is not a large province. its actual population being about 2O,- O00000, or only about two-thirds that of England, and yet the deaths in the Punjab during 1901 from plague amounted to over 250,000 in the course of twelve weeks only.
 We believe that these figures, which have been published before, have never been contradicted, though they seem incredible. What would he thought, said or done in England if in the course of twelve weeks 250,000 persons were swept off by the disease? Surely if this destruction threatened to be an annual one would not any inactivity on the part of the author titles in whom prevention is vested be deeply resented?
 The English public has. of course, nnf nnI thnIJUh we are not playing the alarmist with any special relish for the office, we think that the. policy of concealment or the absence of policy that has nee essitated concealment has gone on long enough.
 The small number of deaths from plague in Hong Kong and the Mauri- tius is regularly published every week in the daily papers, and presumably the information comes from official sources, but the mortality which oc- CUTS in India from the same disease, and which by its magnitude is a dan ger not only to India, but to the world, is never published-it is not consid- cred wholesome reading.
 The public is not aware from official information of the terrible tragedy going on in one part of the empire in that part which is always termed the brightest jewel in the possession of the crown, for whose welfare we are nationally responsible, and for whose possession and maintenance some of the noblest British blood has been shed.
 We have commented in the Lancet upon the inquiry undertaken jointly by the Lister Institute of Preventive Medicine, the India office and the Roy al Society, the first fruit of which is to be the dispatch of two bacterolo- gists to the east, and while allowing that the idea of the inquiry is sound one we have pointed out that we do not think the measures to be under taken really meet the case. Three and half millions of people have died from the plague in India since 1896, and the proposal to send two bacteriol- ogists to look into the causes of the tragedy strikes us as inadequate, how ever capable and distinguished the gentlemen connected with the joint in quiry may be, and indeed are.-Lon. don Lancet.
