THE BLACK SCOURGE! That Fearful and Mystic Visita tion of Olden Days. iT FOLLOWED IN WAR'S WAKE. In the Fourteenth Century It Swept -he Whole of Europe, Killing 25.000,000 In Three Years-The Pestilence In! London. The plague or pestilence, that myste rious and fearful visitation which has i moved its hosts in the wake of armies to slay more than war itself, is sup posed to have first originated among the dense masses of people who crowd ed together in the great cities of Asia and Egypt or who formed the encamp ments of Xerxes, Cyrus and Tamer lane the Tartar. It probably sprang from the impurity which must have existed in the midst of such vast gath erings and in part also from leaving the unburied dead upon the field of battle. At any rate, the germs of this fearful human poison have always been most active where conditions similar to those have prevailed. It has always been war and the march of armies that have spread it broadcast over the world from time to time, and as war became less frequent and less worl,1wide the frequency and extent of these ravages have lessened also. The first recorded outbreak of the plagiUe in Europe occurred in the six teenth century. It came from lower Egypt. This was the first lapping of the wave that reached into the east again. there to stay its movements, so far es the west was concerned, until 544 A. D., when the returning legions of the Emperor Justinian brought it again into the western world from the battl.fields of Persia. Constantinople was the first place it attacked. Here in a single day as many as 10.000 per sons are said to have fallen victims to it. I ut the plague did not stop with Cons antinople. It had found a too cong--nial soil in Europe, which was little else than one great battlefield at the lime. It was carried into Gaul, whei : it followed close in the wake of the rankish armies, and from Gaul it n. ved into Italy, with the Lom bard-. and so devastated the country as t. leave it entirely at the mercy of tbi invaders. The various crusades, which extend ed o -. a space of about 200 years, no doubL did much to hold the pestilence in E-2rope, for they served to keep open the channels of intercourse be tween the east and the west. Periodic epideaics were common during their continuance, and these seem to have culminated in tb fourteenth century with what is'known in history as the black death. The black death was more fatal to human life than any other single cause since the world be gan. The havoc of war was nothing in comparison to it. It swept the whole of Europe, leaving in its path such misery and destitution vs the world had never known. It illed in three years some 25,000.000 people. Such figures stagger the comprehen sion, but the records of the time can not be doubted. The entire population of Europe is estimated to have been about 100,000,000, kept down as it was by the constant warfare, and of these at least a fourth perished. The ravages of the plague in Italy, where it came in the track of the war of the Guelphs and Ghibellines, was parti-:ularly disastrous to mankind. It rageC with terrible fury in Naples, where 00,000 persons are said to have died. It fell upon Pisa, and seven out of every ten perished. It utterly and forever destroyed the prosperity of Siena. Florence also suffered severely, while 100.000 of the inhabitants of Te-nice were literally wiped off the face of the earth. From Italy it moved into France, where the mortality was almost as great. In Paris alone 50,000 people died from it. One of the worst features presented by the history of the black death was the cruel persecu tion it aroused against the Jews. They were supposed to have infected the air in some mysterious manner, and they were accused of having poisoned the wells and .springs. In Strassburg 2,000 of theta were buried alive in their own burial ground. The order of the Flagellanto arose at this time, coming from the belief that the sins of the world had at last brought down the wrath of heaven. It was the beginning of the so called hundr-ed years' war that carried the black death into England, where in London its victims numbered 100,000. When at last the plague had worked its rav-ages it doubled back over its course to disappear in the east. Later on it appeared again in England, first atmong the soldiers of Richmond after the battle of Bosworth Field, and i. hen the victorious army marched to Lcoidon the plague went with them to w ek its havoc there. As long as it laste. the mortality was as great as that caused by the black death half a centu: y before. Five thousand people died five weeks, and then the plague left 1 andon as suddenly as it had ap pearc. there to sweep over the rest of EngIh id. In 3 -otland the plague of 1568 came immc lately after the battle of Lang side. '.:hen Queen Mary was dethron ed, b" t no records of the mortality it occas ned seem to have been pre serveu. The plague visited London in 1075. T'his followed after the civii war which ended with the death of Charles 1L., but so many years intervened that it Is izupossible to trace any connection bet'ween the two events. In modern wars tlanger from the plague seems gradually to have lessened perhaps as a result of better sanitary conditions maintained by the armies of today.

In 1844, when emigrants from the middle states were going to make homes in Oregon. many young boys joined the pioneers and made the hard journ-v over the plains and mnuun tains. One of tth-se lads. Jo.seph Watt of .\iissuri. is described by the gmthor of "McDonald of Oregon." H was about seventeen years of age and wv: employed to drive cattle. Ile walked most of the way to his new home. "I have borrowed $2.-0. Joe. to fit you out." his father had said at part ing. and with that the young man had bought a pair of boots and invest ed the rest in pins and fishhooks to trade with the Indians. But new boots: He slung them over his rifle and put on moecasins. At a certain point in the journey, away back on Burnt river, the man for whom Joe was driving said: "You had better leave us and hurry on into Oregon. Provisions are getting scarce. We shall need all there is for the chil dren." "All right. I can taite care of my self." Without a morsel of food Joe Watt and Elisha Bowman struck out with their rifles-and Joe's boots. -If we could only eat the boots!" sighed Joe. Bare to the knees from continually cutting otf his trousers to mend his moccasins, he strode through the lacerating sagebrush. "How are you going to get down?" inquired the boatman when every other eager passenger had piled on the Hudson Bay bateau sent up by Dr. McLoughlin. Alone on the shore stood Joe Watt. "How are you going to get down'" "I don't know." "Have yov any.provisions?'" "No, nothing." "Can you sing or tell yarns?" "Yes, both." "Very well; climb on to the bow of that boat." So they started. "Well. figurehead, pipe up:" was the present demand. With sad and solemn eyes, without a smile. Joe sang and told stories. Everybody laughed. The weary emi grants needed entertainment, and Joe was a born comedian. The doctor was building a flour mill at the falls, and with some misgivings Joe was engaged as a carpenter. At night he slept in the shavings. The first pay day he was rich. With $12 in hand, clothes, soap. Hudson Bay blankets were his. Never blankets felt so soft. Passing his hand thoughtfully over the wool, within sound of the potential falls, a great idea came into the heart of Jo seph Watt. "I will build woolen mills on this Pacific coast." Years later the boy fulfilled this resole.--Youth's Com panion. The Hawaiian Alphabet. There are but twelve letters in the Hawaiian alphabet. These, with their pronunciations, are: A (ah), e (a), o (0 as in ho), u (oo), h (hay), k (kay), 1 (la), m (moo), n (noo), p (pay) and w (vay). The missionaries added a thir teenth, t, but the natives won't have it and continue to pronounce, for in stance, the name of the root from which poi is made "kara," although the missionaries have it "tara." Every voel in a word is distinctly sounded except that the vowels ai are sounded "i," as in English. Waikiki, the beach in Honolulu, is properly pronounced "Vikeekee." There is a great differ ence in the speech of the high and low caste natives. The first call their is' land group "H~a-va-ee-ee," and the lat ter begin it all right with "Ha," but conclude with a guttural grunt, and the word heard most, "Aloha." sounds soft and beautiful on the lips of the first, but is a lazy, good natured grunt as the latter speak it. Aloha is in their limited vocabulary at once a greeting and farewell, a formal ex pression of regard and of deep love. In the latter case it is increased in warmth and depth of meaning by modifying adjectives annexed instead of prefixed, as "Aloha nui." "-Aloha nui Ioa," or even "Aloha nui loa kea!" -and then it is time to speak to papa. Fans From a Fish's Fins. Curious little fans are made from the ectoral fins of the fish known as the sea robin. The sea robin is not a very large fish, but its pectoral fins are large in proportion to its size, and in nature they suggest fans from the manner in which the fish opens and closes them. The pectoral fins of the smaller sea robins are marked with brown, those of the larger fishes with maroon, beautifully shaded. The fins have many rays or ribs. In making a fan the fin is first stretched out on a board to dry. A large fin will make a fan about six inches in breadth. The rays spread out in it, as the split bam boo strips do in a Japanese fan, ex cept that the rays are tapering, and they are much slenderer and more deli cate. When the fin is dry it is mount ed as a fan, and when it has been thus completed it is dipped in varnish. The varnish not only brings out the colors, but it serves also as a pre servative. Thus treated the fan will last for years. Sentient Alarm Clocks. "Devil dogs" are a species of alarm clock used in Greece for the purpose of keeping persons awake, such as watch men, stage drivers and railroad men. They are generally small black dogs. Should the person whom the "devil dog" is detailed to keep awake be a stage driver, the dog is strapped to a little stool beside him, and throughout the journey he keeps up a sharp bark ing, often causing the passengers to keep awake as well as the driver. At times he will pause for a minute or two to moisten his parched, rasped throat at the basin of water set before him and then begin again. A weak stomach, means weak stom ach nerves, always. And this is also true of heartaud kidneys.It's a pity that sick ones continue to drug the stomach or stimulate the heart and kidneys. The weak nerves, n, .he organs them selves need this help. This explains why Dr. Shoop's Restorative has and is promptly helping so many sick ones. It goes direct to the cause of these dis eases. Test the vital truth and see. W. .. LBrown & Co. Swods Bent Double to Test Them. If you have an opportunity at any time of examining a sword such as is used in naval and military services you may notice that just belowv the hilt. an inch or two down the blade, there is a small disk of brass welded into the blade. The meaning of this brass might well escape any one not possessed of a weil developed sense of curiosity. Swords are subjected to very severe tests 'Leiare being issued, and this brass piece ini2ent1es that one of the tests to which Le sword was subjected was to have its y ...; t right back until it touched the hilt at the brass spot.

A TERRIBLE BIG TROUT. He Was Cunning and a Hard Case, Toe, Was This Fish. We were camping in northern Wis consin, and one evening after our sup per of black bass and bacon we lay under the pine trees smoking and tell ing fish stories in whih it was always the "bigger bass" that got away. The guide listened with the gravity of a man who knew all about fish stories, and finally le knocked the ashes from his pipe and told us a story. "Once long ago," he said, "there was a terrible big trout up in Smith's pool. Every fellow who fished in the pool had hooked him one time or an other, but he always got away, bit off the snood or something. "I tried to catch him myself a dozen times. One day I was sitting by the pool when, splash, a young robin fluttered out of the nest on a limb! above the pool into the water below. In a minute there was a rush, a gleam of yellow, and the old trout had thrown himself clear out of the water and had swallowed the young robin whole. "What did I do? Well, I climbed that tree in short order, got another one of those young robins, baited my hook with ft and threw it in just as lIghtly as I could. In a minute there was another rush, another gleam of yellow, and again the old trout jump ed clear out of the water as he swal lowed the robin, and in a minute more I had him hooked. "It was lacky I wasn't fishing with any of this newfangled rigging these boys use and that I wasn't bothered with a reel to look after, or I would have lost him sure. As it was it took me a devil of a time to get him out. "Good to eat? Great Scott! We didn't try to eat him. He was so full of hooks we sold him for old iron. you know." That end-d our fish stories for that night.-J. J. A. in Chicago Tribune. PRIMITIVE ANCHORS. Stones and Wooden Tubes Filled With Lead First Used. There appear to be two ideas which have led up to the invention of the modern anchor-first, that of attach ing the vessel by means of a rope or chain to a weight sufficiently heavy to keep the vessel from moving when the weight has sunk to the bottom of the sea, and, second, that of using a hook instead of or in addition to the weight, so as to catch in the bottom. The English word anchor is practical ly the same as the Latin ancora and the Greek angkura, meaning "that which has an angle," from the root ank, bent. The earliest anchors made on the hook principle probably only had one fluke instead of two. In the "Sussex Archaeil, Coll." there is an illustration of what has been surmised to be an anchor made out of the natural forked branch of a tree. It was found with an ancient British canoe at Burpham. Sussex. There is in the British muse-. umn an interesting leaden anchor with two flukes bearing a Greek inscrip tion. Its date is about 50 B. C., and it was found off the coast of Cyrene. The invention of the anchor with two flukes is attributed by Pausanius to Midas, by Pliny to Eupalamuas and by Strabo to Anacharsis. Diodorus Siculus states that the first anchors were wooden tubes filled with lead, while another classical writer says that before the introduction of metal anchors lumps of stone with a hole through the middle for the attach ment of the cable were used.I The .form of the anchors used by the. Greeks and Romans is well known from representations on Trajan's col umn and in the catacombs at Rome! as an* early Christian symbol. This form does not seem to have changed materially for quite a thousand years,j as is shown by the Bayeux tapestry. The Girls Were Still One Ahead. I A young and bashful professor was frequently embarrassed by jokes his gIrl pupils would play on him. These jokes were so frequent that he decided to punish the next perpetrators, and the result of this decision was that two girls were detained an hour after school and made to work some difficult prob lems as punishment. It was the custom to answer the roll call with quotations, so the following, morning, when Miss A.'s name was called, she rose and, looking straight in the professor's eye, rep~eated, "With all thy faults I love thee still," while Miss B.'s quotation w~as, "'The iou:'s I spend with thee, dear heart, are as a. string of pearls to me."-Ladies' Home, Journal.

The Animal and the Hunters Were AU Taken by Surprise. Wh;le lookidaf for a hippopotamus it was the fortune of the author of "Uanda to Khiartum"' to encounter a crcodilt imder s-.iewhat unusual cir ~umsiantes. He was? following a fresh tr:aek leadingii through the dense under growth from the lake inland. Two wn iccompanied him, one carrying his camera :md the other his second g-. while e houlderd i his ritle. S:uiddenly I heard a rustling noise in frant of me and realized that some Creature was approaching, but what? Tt could not be the hippo. because there no thmiderous tread, but I had no ii: to think. for the creature, what ever it might he. was upon me in a sec ond. .At two yards I discovered what It was-aimimense crocodile more than twelve feet long. I was right in its path. and there was no p:>ssile escape on either side, so I stood still with my ritle at shoulder and waited. The "crock" did not walt, however, and in some remarkable way it hustled me to one side, almost knock ed me over. and endeavored to make his way to the water. To dispute his right of way would have been folly. I realized only a hor rible, soft, wriggling mass pressing against my legs in a most sickening way. Why le did not bite me I do not know. At first I thought he had done so as he brushed against my leg, but I found it was only his horny scales that scraped my shin. And he was more taken by surprise than 1 was and for got all about his huge jaw and the lasting impression he might have made upon my legs. . After he had passed I turned to see how the men would fare. One had got back to the shore and so was no longer in view. The other man with the. cam era was the funniest sight.: His head was stuck fast in the thick brambles, and his legs were in the air, the cam era of course in the mud beside him. I do not think the "cr3ck" could have seen him, for he had literally taken a header into the bush, and his legs were far above the crocodile's jaws.

The average grownup who visits the zoo thinks it rather a dull sort of s.how, for the fact that the animals are captive robs them of all the romance that would attach to them in their na tive forests. But let the blase sightseer obtain permission to visit the zoo at mid night, and his impressions will be very different. Darkness hides the bars and the boards, and the eyes of some wakeful creature gleam maliciously at you. For the moment you imagine that you are in the wilds, on equal terms with the creatures around. Poised on the swings and platforms at the top of their cages sleep the monkeys, instinct surviving their loss of freedom, for in the forests they had to sleep thus to avoid the beasts of prey. Here rests a lioness, prone upon her back, her legs rigid in the air and her paws hanging limply down. There re~ cines her lord, asleep upon his side, his paws turned in and his general pose not' unlike that of a dog.

Ober holtzer in Book News, if we do not remember his poetic attachment for hi girl wife and his love for high lit erary ideals, so faithfully evidenced in his osvn writing and in his criticism of the work of other men. "His love for his wife was a sort of rapturous worship of the spirit of beauty which he felt was fading before his eyes." Mr. Graham wrote after the poet's death: "It have seen him hovering around her .when she was ill, with all the fond fear and tender anxiety of a mother for her firstborn, her slight est cough causing in him a shudder, a heart chill that was visible. I rode out one sun'mer evening with them, and the remembrance of his watchful eyes eagerly bent upon the slightest change of hue in that loved face haunts me yet as the memory of a sad strain." Recollecting that when she was gone honest sorrow mingled with the poverty that hung about him like a thick cloud through which no sun shone, we can afford to forgive much in those last misspent days.
