A Fatal Austrian Flag.

Once there was an epidemic of plague
at Odessa, in Russia, which lasted more
than a year. 1t had most remarkable
origin, being due TO fatal flag. An
Austrian vessel arrived at Odessa,
bringing one of the crew who had died
during the voyage. The sailor was duly
inferred in the Catholic cemetery at
the port, and at the funeral the Aus
trian flag was carried by two seamen.
On their way back to the vessel the
men entered a great number of saloons
and laid dawn the flag while drinking.
A very short time afterward the sail
ore who had carried the flag died, and
before long it was found that people
were i'll in all the houses where the
men had called with the fatal flag.
Soon the plague spread throughout
Odessa, filling all with terror and
claiming frightful toll. There is no
doubt that the flag contained the plague
bacilli in the folds, and so spread the
disease.--Baltimor Sun.
