Cholera Scourges Of Other Times

TIME terrible ravages cholera is
making at the present time
in Turkey remind one Of
many previous occasions when cpl
denies have carried off thousands
at a time.
AS early as 767 B. c. we read Of
a plague, and again in 45S B. c.
Rome suffered terribly. Athens
was attacked by-a pestilence in 430
3. c.. which was believed to have
been caused by their enemies poi
soning the water supplies.
AS many as 10000 people a day
fell victims to the plague at Rome
in A. d. so. So many people were
killed during the epidemic which
occurred in Britain during the fifth
century that there were hardly SUI
ficient persons left to bury the
dead. In 772 Chichester lost $4,000
people, and in 954 Scotland lost
10000. London was visited in the
tenth and eleventh centuries, and
Ireland suffered severely In 1904.
The Oriental plague occurred be-
tween 1S4S and 1882. It was known
as the Black Plague" on account
of the black spots which appeared
on the skin at death. 1t started in
China in 1888, and the deaths num-
bered 100000, and $4,000. 600 sue
cumbed in the rest OF Asia 1t ap-
peared in Norway and Sweden in
1349 and 1882 About 1000. 1000 fell
victims to the Black Plague In Eng
land, of which $1,000 occurred in
London alone.
The sweating sickness appeared
in England four times during the
fifteenth and sixteenth centuries,
the first time in 1885, and lasted
one month, in which 10000 people
died in London alone. II also Wis

Doesn't it seem incredible that
there could be two human beings
in the world with little enough
knowledge of life and youth to act
as this father and mother are do
ing? Undoubtedly they love their
daughter, and desire her good. and
yet the most malevolent enemy in
the world couldn't have devised any
better plan for running her life.
To begin with, they are so in
credibly selfish that to prevent
themselves from being disturbed
and their provincial little pleas
ures broken into, they cut their
daughters out of all OF the Joys
and pleasures OF their girlhood.
Youth has right to laugh, to have
company to dance, to make merry
and to go to theaters and places
of amusement and for a girls par
ents to keep her from enjoying
these innocent pleasures is to de-
fraud her out of her birthright
The home, according to the moth

she would be perfectly justified in
doing at IS years of age, shows that
she is a young woman with an ex-
traordinarily high sense of duty.
If she had been of a more pleasure

she would have skipped out long
