THE PLAGUE IN INDIA.

We in this region don't have to pay much attention to the plague in India, but it is doing deadly work. For the week ending April p, 54,6o2 deaths were recorded, as compared with 51,7S6 for the preceding seven days. The death-ro1l for 1905 promises to exceed all former records. In 1901 the total deaths from plague were returned at 273, ,679. in 1902 the number rose to 577,- 427, in 1903 it reached S51,28S, and in 1904 it was 1,022, ,299. From January of the present year up to April 1b, the number of fatal cases is reported at 5T6, ,s66, and it is very doubtful whether these figures tell the whole truth. Of the total of 64,214 seizures with 54602 deaths during the week ending April 22, the Bombay Presidency had S,497 cases, and 2,7S7 deaths; Madras, 65 cases, and s5 deaths; the United Provinces, 18,249' cases, and 16,637 deaths; the Punjab, ss,162 cases, and 27,362 deaths; Burma, 1SS cases, and 175 deaths; the Central Provinces, 223 cases, and 175 deaths; Mysore State. 50 cases, and 40 deaths; Haidarabad State, 401 cases, and 316 deaths; Central India, IF cases, and S4 deaths; and Kashnir, 359 cases, with 215 deaths. These detailed figures will show how the disease has extended over the country, and the heavy mor- tality of the cases. The mortality is higher this week in the Punjab by B. 42O, in the United Provinces by 75S, in Rajputana by 200, in Burma by 20, in Kashmir by 2S, in Bombay city by 132, and in Calcutta by 1sO. The only mo- ticeable decrease is in the districts of Bengal, where the epidemic seems to be abating. In this area, however, the outbreak occurred earlier in the season. During the present outbreak the anti plague serum from the Pasteur Insti- tute in Paris has becn somewhat exten- sively used for the treatment of cases, both in Bombay and Calcutta, and, al- though it is early to form a definite opinion, numerous individual reports would seem to show it's value.

petfzing. nor do they make so good a fruit when cooked.
 Admitting that pastry and other es- sentials are up to the standard, there is one detail that every lover of good cherry pie would like to see observed. Over the whole, pastry and fruit, be- fore it is served there should be sprinkled granulated sugar. The man who has not felt the crunch of pastry granulated sugar and firm cooked cherries between his teeth has some thing to live for.
 Strawberry pie also has its advan- tages. Excellent strawberries for cook ing are to be had for eight cents, and they are good enough for the short- cake, and what is good enough for a genuine shortcake is highly compli- mented by the association. The peaches in market are from Cali fornia and have some taste of the fruit They can be bought three for 10 cents in all but the most expensive places. and while they are beautiful to look at they are worth eating.
 Apricots are still too unripe to be eaten. although they are already a beautiful combination of color in their varied shades of pale yellow, pink and maroon. They are two cents apiece when bought in small quantities at the fruiterers.
 Cantaloups come from Florida, and even the salesmen speak of their mer- its in lukewarm fashion. Oranges have grown nearly as common as strawberries, and they are beneath the dignity of the most expensive fruit erers. who have them because their customers will buy them.
 One of the Fifth avenue restaurants has made a reputation by it's prepara- tion of timed fruits. which it is some- times difficult for careful eaters to un- derstand. This is served as a dessert at the end of the meal. It consists of slices of apple and bit of fresh or- ange put into a glass dish and served | with sauce that is made up of sugar and the various fruit syrups out of the jars.
 This mixture is put on ice and served very cold. yet it tastes like nothing else than cold, preserved fruits. If they had been cooked together for 8 few minutes to lose the raw taste they possess after being taken immediately out of the bottles it might be possible to understand why the dish should be popular enough to make many persons pay a very high price for it.
 Coupe Jacques is made at least of the fresh cut up fruit even if it is not possible in winter to get the fruits that make it best, and it has not the raw taste which this newly invented des- sert possesses-New York Sun.

STILL RICH.

It Is always pleasant to contemplate the fact that we. as a people. have money. The grand total of money of all kinds in the United States is $2.- 57S. .0O6. .sS6. which, if divided evenly among ths people cf this country. would give every man, woman and child the neat sum of S3l.05. Every year for the last five years Uncle Sam has added s1OS.OOO,0OO to his supply of money, an increase which Treasurer Roberts thinks is calculated to daze the average citizen. Truly We have an abundance of gold and bank notes, treasury notes and certificates, but de- spite the plethora of money there is complaint every year at harvest time of scarcity of currency. Notes of small denominations are required, and although this matter has been brought to the attention of congress time and again no relief has yet been granted. MI. fI0beEtS HldheS q SuSSeSltutl WHICH may prove helpful By the easy pro- cess of authorizing gold certificates of s5 and s10," he says, tour legislators could add to the current on which the crops should float to market. The fetich of keeping broad field open for silver has stood in the way of such g change. Make a team of metals and paper and the work will go on as cheer ! fly as at cornhusking or harvest bee"
 With s1, 1,SOO. 900, 900 of gold in the Unit
 ed States there ought not to be the
 slightest difficulty in providing for har-
 vest time and crop movements, and
 there doesn't seem to be any reason why gold certificates shouldn't be fs-
 sued as suggested by Treasurer Rob-
 erts.

THE TRACK WALKER,

If you have nothing else to do some day when you are passing through the vast network of tracks of, for example. the great railway running northward out of New York, says a writer in Watson's Magazine, give a thought to the man who walks for you, the man on whom your safety, in this particular place, so much depends.
 He is peculiar individual. His work is so very exceptional, so very different from your own. While you are sitting in your seat placidly wondering whether you are going to have a pleasant evening at the theatre or whether the business to which you are about to attend will be as profitable as you desire, he is out on the long

ANOTHER ATTACK ON 4 PEST.

New Haven has an East shore, and the East shore has mosquitoes. and those who go there in the good old summer time also have mosquitoes. So any attempt to exterminate the mos- quito is interesting and important around l.ere. An attack is to be made on the Staten Island mosquito. pr. Doty, the health officer of New York, who has the work in hand believes that it will be accomplished effectually within two or three years. The theory that it causes malaria and yellow fever is generally accepted. Malaria and mosquitoes says Dr. Doty, always go together" Dr. Doty relates a sig nifieant episode. A bad case of malaria broke out in house that was nowhere near still water. The cause was ob- scure until finally some old caketins, half full of water, were discovered in the yard of the house next door. Here were the deatf1-breeding mosquitoes. 'In Cuba says Dr. Doty, q have known whole household to be striek- sen with yellow fever that was directly traceable to the fact that they placed the legs of the refrigerator in little cans to keep the rats from climbing to the edi- bles."
 Raw petroleum is of course the main dependence in the Staten Island cru sade. But the work cannot be accom- plished without the cordial co-opera- tion of all concerned. Dr. Doty says that what he needs more than money or men is the help of the residents. If they will follow his directions they can, he thinks, be rid of mosquitoes. They ought to help and probably will. At least they will, intend to for awhile.

CHERRY PIE AND MANGOEs.

A Rare Old Fruit and a Rare New One
 Now in Market.
 The fruiterers are rather supercilious sometimes, in the opinion of the simple persons who are willing to buy their wares.
 'Strawberries?" one of them observ- ed the other day. 'Why, we don t keep strawberries now. Anybody can buy strawberries anywhere That was snub enough. But the fruiterer who was so proud of having only rare things wanted the customer to buy @ Jamaica mango and try that It was a rare if not so expensive a fruit as he would like to sell
 A Jamaica mango is 9 green, hard object, not unlike an alligator pear, ex- cept that it is smaller and rounder. It is stringy fruit. once it has been peeled. swedish and not in the least likely to displace the apple, to which it is related.
 Importerers have been for some time trying to put on the market the Ja- macia mango, just as they did the alli- gator pear, which grows wild in Porto Rfca and ought to sell for about 35 cents 8 barrel there. Here the pears cost that sum apiece at the most ex- pensive dealers. and never sell for less than 30. even at the markets. It does not seem likely that the mangoes will ever enjoy any such popularity.
 The spring fruits are all backward. Cherries, which are coming from Cal ifornia, are high in price and not es- pecially good in quality. Even the deal- CTS do not advise their customers to buy them.
 There may be an Improvement this week. when the newer crop comes in, but the cherries that come to New York every year now are so little like the cheery of childhood that the per- son who decides that the cheery does not exist for him any longer has a much more comfortable time than the man who keeps looking every spring for cherries and making himself a nuisance by telling persons of the won- derfnl ones he used to eat when he was 8 child.
 Those that have come into market this year are good enough for one pur- pose, if they are not too costly. They make excellent cheery pie, and that pie is ii necessary to say, should not be covered, but protected only by the strips of pastry.
