ORIGIN OF THE PLAGUE.
How the Dreaded Germs Are Passed
Along by the Fleas.

AS to the place and manner OF
origin of the plague germ or bacillus
pests, nothing definite is yet known
says William Inglis in Harpers
Weekly. The manner of it's travel and
communication to man has been clear.
ly traced. The bacillus lives and
breeds in the blood of the rat. The
rat is the victim OF feas, which live
upon his blood and as they feed draw
into themselves the plague bacilli
which swim by thousands in his vital
fluid. Thus infected, and thereby as
dangerous as so many little dynamite
bombs, the fieas pass with the rats
into the habitation of human beings
which the rats infest, and there, from
convenient floors or chairs or beds,
leap upon human victims.
The plague-laden flea does not
poison man with his bite, as the
stegomyia mosquito poisons by infect
ing the bacillus of yellow fever di-
rectly into the blood. The flea, it is
true, bites human beings as he bites
other prey. He sucks blood until be

the machinery of justice to effective
work
New York's new police headquarters
is 30S feet long, 80 feet wide at one
end and 60 feet wide at the other. The
architectural scheme is the Georgian
style of the eighteenth century, a
handsome building radically different
from that usually associated with po-
| lice work. On the central dome is
wireless telegraph apparatus so that
the police may be in communication
with incoming and outgoing ocean
steamers. 1t is also to be used in the
very unlikely event of the structure
being besieged by mob and the tele-
| graph wires cut.
The two uppermoSt stories will be
used as an armory and drillroom for
the force, and in case of emergency a
| thousand men can be concentrated
there, and, if necessary, kept over
night and fed from the big kitchen
ranges downstairs. In the armory
proper will be all the weapons neces-
sary in the defense of the city against
a riot, even to two Calling guns.
In the sub-basement, rs feet below
the street level, are two modern army
shooting ranges each Is feet long, and
fully equipped with markers. Here
are also located the magazine-rooms,
lockers and large assembly-room for
the men. The young recruits who are
to be trained to police work here prac-
tice flying shots at an automatic dog
or fleeing burglar. Pistol shooting has
heretofore been one of the New York
policeman's weakest points, but it
need be no longer.
| In the basement are a number OF
cells for male and female prisoners.
and several large steel cages to be
used as Assembly" cells. Here also is
one of those novel features of which
there are number in this building.
A driveway has been constructed
from the Broome street end of the
building between the curb and porte
cochere large enough to permit two or
three wagonloads of prisoners to be
taken directly to the cellroom without
coming in contact with anyone other
than the officer in charge. At the
southern end of the building is a
lounging-room for detectives attached
to which are shower baths, lockers
dressing-rooms and a dormitory for
the men on night duty.
On the ground level in the main sec.
ton will be the entrance for the pub
lie. Above the pillars that crown this
main entrance will be figures repre-
senting the five boroughs, the colossal
figure of Manhattan being the center
piece directly over the doorway. The
new rogues' gallery will be on this
floor, with the photographs and rec
ords of tens of thousands of crooks
and in the adjoining rooms, the muse
UNI of criminal curiosities, the bureau
of records and Identification, with the
appliances for the Bertillon system
and thumb Identification. This is the
room in which the dreaded third de-
gree" comes to those suspected of con
cealing the truth to save themselves
or some pal" The police library, the
only one in the world; will be located
here. This room is to contain books
of criminal law, histories of police
and crooks from the four corners OF
the earth.
Two complete telegraph and tele
phone systems have been installed, Sc
that should one of these become dis
abled the other can be used in the
| emergency.

IN DENs THROUGH WINTER.
The Habits of the Louisiana and Mis-
sissippi Bears.

In Louisiana and Mississippi the
bears go into their dens toward the
end of January, usually in hollow
trees. often high up in living trees,
but often also in great logs that lie
rotten on the ground, says a writer in
Scribner's. They come forth toward
the end of April, the cubs having been
horn in the interval. At this time the
bears are nearly as fat, SO my in
formants said, as when they enter
their dens in January, but they lose
their fat rapidly. On first coming
out in the spring they usually eat ash
buds and the tender young cane called
mutton cane, and at that season they
generally refuse to eat the acorns
even when they are plentiful. Accord
ing to my informants it is st this sea-
son that they are most likely to take

true. There are many American hus-
bands who, instead Of exacting self
sacrifice of their wives, yield it to the
fullest measure, men who make a
fetch of their wives wishes and
work increasingly and nncomplain-
ingly to crafty even their whims.
And the every day American hus-
band recognizes his wife as a
person with tastes, desires, ambi-
tions and interests of her own, and
acknowledges her right to their de-
velopment and qualification. He con-
siders her as a human being, analogous
to himself.
Women for Clubs and Societies.
Even the most conservative of Ameri-
can husbands allow their women to
join a w. G. T. u, missionary So
ciety, or womans club. Nor is
there objection to the wife turning an
honest penny in her spare time. She
may do dressmaking or give music
lessons in the intervals of homework
1t is even generally conceded that she
may under stress of necessity enter
the industrial world without prejudice
of her femininity. The most domestic
housewife incurs no disgrace if, hav-
ing "a sick husband or being left a
widow, she work for bread.
Herbert Spencer wrote mournful and
great words when he observed that in
the history of humanity as written the
saddest part concerns the treatment of
women. and if we had before us it's
unwritten history we should find this
part still sadder. 1 say the saddest
because though there have been many
things more conspicuously dreadful
cannibalism, the torturing of prisoners,
the sacrificings of victims to ghosts
and gods-these have been but occa-
sional; whereas the brutal treatment
slant.
IF, looking first at their state of
subsection during the semi-civilized,
we pass to the uncivilized, and observe
the lives of hardship borne by nearly
all of them, if we then think what
must have gone on among those still
under peoples, who for so many thou
sands of years roamed over the uncul-
tured earth, we shall infer that the
amount of suffering which has been
and is borne by women is utterly be-
yond imagination.
Utter absence of sympathy made it
inevitable that women should suffer
from the egoism of men, without any
limit as to their ability to bear the en-
tailed hardships. Passing this limit,
the ill-treatment by rendering the
women incapable of rearing due
number of children brought about dis
appearance of the tribe; and we may
safely assume that multitudes of
tribes disappeared from this cause,
leaving behind those in which the i'll
treatment was less extreme"
Australian Does Not Love Wife.
In Australia Sir John Lubbock
found little real affection exists be-
tween husbands and wives, and young
men value a wife principally for her
service as a slave; in fact, when asked
why they are anxious to obtain wives,
their usual reply is that they may get

is replete and then squirts blood from
his prey. Therein lies the peril.
Plague bacilli are in this discharge and
if it be left undisturbed on the skin
of the victim the bacilli will penetrate
the skin and tissues, enter the circu-
lation and thus infect the person upon
whom the flea has fed.
1t is this curious manner of info:
ton by dejecta that makes the bubonie
plague peculiarly dangerous to people
who do not battle frequently. In Japan
and in the United States the spread OF
the disease among human beings even
in rat-infested cities is slow, while
in India and China and certain parts
of Europe, where people battle seldom,
If ever, the plague runs like wildfre.
1t is almost impossible for person
who battles twice day to become In
fected with bubonic plague.

THE COME and SEE SIGN

This sign is permanently attached
to the front of the main building OF
the Lydia E. Pinkham Medicine
Company, Lynn, Mass.
What Does This Sign Mean?
1t means that public inspection OF
the Laboratory and methods of doing
business is honestly desired. Itmeans
that there is nothing about the bus
mess which is not "Open and above
boaSd."
1t means that a permanent invita-
ton is extended to anyone to come
and verify any and all statements
made in the advertisements of Lydia
E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound.
Is it purely vegetable compound
made from roots and herbs - with
out drugs?

ally use as much of it as we are told

Was there ever such person as

Is the vast private correspondence
with sick women conducted by
women only, and are the letters kept
strictly confidential?

Have they really got letters from
over one million, one hundred
thousand women correspondents?

Have they proof that Lydia e.
Pinkham's Vegetable Compound has
cured thousands of these women?

This advertisement is only for
doubters. The great army of women
who know from their own personal
experience that no medicine in the
world equals Lydia E. Pinkham's

In America women who want learn

placed upon their place and manner of

of society. And in America they have

Carroll d. Wright, commissioner of
labor, declares that it is plain that

sphere; that she has determined to
assert her equality in many directions
and that she has entered and occupied
the great field of remunerative en-
ployment."
American Women Not Humble.
The woman of America is charsc-
terized as independent, forceful capa-
bic and far from humble Obedience
is furthest from her thoughts. Civil
marriages rarely contain the wore
obey; some of the churches have
dropped it; when it is uttered it is
either regarded as a joke or explained
as desire to please, prompted by
loVe-something which would be
equally applicable to the husband.
"Self-sacrifce, formerly a cardinal
womanly virtue, is no longer in high
favor. Self-development is rapidly
taking it's place. The American wom-
an has imbibed a new doctrine, that
CT freedom and happiness. She does
not believe that she should be sub
missive, that her life should be hedged
with limitations, or that she is fore
doomed to suffer for the sins of others.
Foreigners coming to this country
never are known to comment upon
the American woman as clinging,
timid, humble, dependent, submissive
self-sacrifcing, without confidence in
her abilities or inclination to protect
her rights and convinced of the SUI
periority of man."
On the contrary, as Mrs. Lydia
Kingsmill Commander testifies in her
scientific study of American woman,
she is always remarked for her self
reliance, force, freedom, intelligence
and capacity. She is intent upon be-
ing herself, not the pale reflection of
some one else, and upon developing
the possibilities of life to the utmost.
She has great respect, and she COM
mands the respect of others.

Their lives are more closely associ-

they understand one another as never
before. The women are not something
apart from the national life, a sort
of annex to the race, kept entirely for
domestic service and reproduction;
they are becoming people, half the ma
ton, and growing to be considered
and respected as such. Their opinions
on public questions are not ignored.
Their ideas in business, law, medicine
or education are not despised, for their
share of the national activities and
responsibilities claims recognition and

A natural accompaniment of wom-
| ans inferior share in the Industrial

her subordinate position in the home.
