Use Of EnuIish.

The report that individuals have
been punished in two towns in the
south for using profane language is OF
the utmost importance to that small
minority of persons who hold that a
proper familiarity with the English
language is worth while. There is,
it must be conceded, a shocking de

it more or less correctly. The aver

USE DOGS TO FIGHT PLAGUE
Madras Officials Have Recourse TIC
Novel Methods in Combating
Dread Disease.

A Mysore correspondent, writing TO
the London Daily Graphic, states that
in that part of Madras plague has
been rife There were in one district
500 deaths in three months.
Innoculation will not stamp out
plague; it merely affords temporary
protection to man, he says. TO get
rid of plague we must get rid Of
plague-infected neas. The government
measures are, when dead rats are
found in a house, to cause it to be
evacuated and take off the roof. The
plague-infected rats, finding no food
or shelter in the house, make for the
next houses, and carry infection with
them. The infected feas that have
escaped from the bodies of the dead
rats are still let in the house, and 1t
takes months to destroy them, as all
disinfectives have SO far proved Of
little use.

are the chief source Of danger. Dogs
are immune from plague. | consider
the dog the most valuable preventive
of plague, for not only does he kill
more rats than a cat, but he also
