PLAGUE SPREAD BY CAMEL

Carcass of Dead Beast Left Exposed Caua#d- Slight Outbreak in > Russia. The Paris Medical publishes some observations which throw an important light on the cases of plague which occurred in Russia some time ago. As far back as 1907 Dr. Klodnitzlhy noticed in the Cazarel Island, in the Caspian Sea, a, slight outbreak of plague. Three women were attacked, and he was able to establish, after inquiry, that they had all tyee been engaged in handling the caffcass of a camel which had died from some unknown cause. Later, in April, 1911, plague appeared in a little place in the district of Kamysch-Samara. Six persons were attacked with plague, and all had eaten of a camel that had died. At the end of September, in the same year, another camel in the district died, and then an autopsy was made. There were no clear indications of any injuries to account for death, but in the viscera the doctor found a bacillus identical with that of Yersin, the cultures of which reproduced plague in animals which were inoculated. Toward the end of the same month other human beings were attacked, and the outbreak coincided with the death of a camel, and tests with the blood produced a typical plague bacillus. Dr. Klodnitzlhy has no doubt that the cases of plague in the human beings owed their origin to eating the flesh of plague-stricken camels, and he suggests that the camels in question had been eating herbage which had become Infected by camels suffering from the disease.

EVER SEE A STOUT POSTMAN?

In London, for Instance, Carriers Walk Over Sixteen Miles Carrying Forty Pounds. Has it ever struck you why a stout postman is such a rarity? The question is worth attention. A postman who in a busy London residential district walks from four teen to sixteen miles a day, starts out In the morning with mails weighing something like eighty pounds. x As his letters and packages are distributed, the weight of his bag, of course, grows less, so that the average weight he carries during his trip is forty pounds. A pint of water weighs a pound. A 10-quart pail weighs about twenty pounds, and the average weight the postman carries is equal to two of these. If you want to know why postmen are thin, try a 15-mile walk with a 10-quart pail of water in each hand. The driver of a brewery wagon, on the other hand, is usually fat. The reason is that he sits on the seat of his fray most of the day, and often consumes large quantities of liquid. Policemen, too, often grow fat through standing about on their beats. —Answers, London.

Surely Simple Enough.

“Jersey justice" is famed the country over, and one of the latest examples proves that it is indeed sul generis. In a city not a thousand miles from New York the Sunday law with regard to amusements is supposed to be strictly enforced. It was noticed recently, however, that a wealthy and influential brewer who was the principal owner of a house not noted for giving classic entertainments was permitted to present unmolested “sacred concerts,” which consisted principally of high kicking and stale jokes. A rival manager, learning of this went to the police commissioner with his tale of woe. That functionary, leaning his chin on his hand, regarded the theatrical man attentively for a moment, and then said: “You see, it’s this way. He can give his performance on Sunday and you can't. Now, you understand the law, don’t you?’’ And who could fail to comprehend such a simple explanation?—New York Tribune.

Patrolman's Brave Act.

A New York patrolman of the East 126th street station, sent thrills up and down the spines of several hundred persons in Third avenue the other afternoon when he leaped for the head of a runaway horse, mi&sed the bridle, fell sprawling, and then picked himself up in time to get a grab at the end of the flying wagon. Such was the speed at which the outfit was moving that the policeman, to the admiration of onlookers, was hoisted into the wagon. He found it impossible to stop the horse, but calmly sat in the driver’s seat and waited until the animal was halted by a string of street cars at 138th street. The horse had run more than three miles.

Sought to Swallow Will.

A curious scene occurred recently in a lawyer’s office at Castanet, hear Toulouse, France. The lawyer was reading the will of a landowner who recently died, in the presence of the relatives of the deceased. The deceased left practically his whole estate to hls widow, and this fact so infuriated a cousin that he suddenly jumped up, snatched the will from the lawyer’s hands, tore it into fragments and, cramming them into his mouth, endeavored to swallow them. He was seised by the throat and finally forced to disgorge the bits of paper, which were afterwards gummed together.

Tobin Plans a Holiday

By A. HOWARD

(Copyright, 1812, by Associated Literary Press.) r-' ’ ' Tobin Oliver, the artist, lived with his mother and .little sister Clarissa in a rather nice boarding house; so nice, indeed, that in order to meet the board bill the Olivers had to tuck themselves away in two tiny rooms on the fourth floor back. Tobin was a patient, kindly person, with hair thinning on his temples and a stoop to his shoulders which made him look very much older thante should, for he was still very young. When he was a boy he had had dreams, even as other young artists have, of painting pictures that would astound the world; but now that his father was dead and he had his mother and sister to support, he chiefly dreamed of dodging the laundryman, and spent his idle moments in figuring how to pay for Clarissa’s schooling. These calculations allowed of no margins for expensive recreation, yet Tobin was contemplating a piece of wild extravagance. Thus it was particularly disconcerting when Clarissa, deliberately abandoning her pose, turned her pleading eyes upon him. “Please, Tobin, can’t I go to the circus?” Clarissa was an uncomfortably clever child, with a pretty, eager face, and frightfully long legs. She was Tobin’s only model, and posed for everything he did, from fat policemen and colored mammies, to fashion plates and soothing syrup babies. She was draped over a chair now, with mirror and powder puff in hand, and Tobin was drawing her as an advertisement for American Belle Beautifying Cream. He had no intention of taking her to the circus, so he pretended to be very busy with his picture, and assiduously splashed the paint on the highly colored cheeks of the American belle. But Clarissa was not thus easily silenced. She squirmed around in her chair and repeated Insistently: “Please, Tobin, can’t I go to the circus?” If the American Belle was to be finished that day Clarissa must be hu-

"Please, Tobin, Can’t I Go to the Circus?"

mored, so Tobin answered discreetly: “I don’t know whether you can or not. I’ll think it over and see if it can be managed." That quieted the trusting Clarissa, but Tobin began to feel shamefully deceitful. He knew that he was not going to take Clarissa to the circus, as he had already planned to take some one else, the most precious person in the world. For in the front room of Mrs. Bosey’s fourth floor lived Tobin’s inspiration, she who would kave been the lady of his dreams if he had ever had time for dreaming. This Diana Garland was an energetic, happy lltle woman, with red hair and snappy eyes, and though she smiled very often in public Tobin wisely suspected that she cried rather often in private. Teaching music in a thirdrate boarding school is not the ideal existence for a girl, and whenever an anxious pucker appeared on Diana’s white brow, Tobin knew that she was feeling rather forlorn. There was trouble at the hoarding school one week and the pucker stayed so long on Diana’s forehead that Tobin feared ft was becoming permanent. He longed to comfort her, but there was nothing he could do until Diana remarked quite casually one morning that the circus was coming to town and that she ,would like to see the baby giraffe. That gave Tobin bls opportunity. He knew it was a reckless waste of money, but what cared he for filthy lucre? He was too poor to offer Diana his hand and heart, but he could at least offer her a glimpse of the baby giraffe. One wild act brings on another, and having determined to take Diana to the circus, Tobin found himself still further involved in financial embarrassments. The American Belle did not bring In as much as he had expectetd, and when he went to buy the tickets he found that he would have to use Clarissa’s commission. As he supported Clarissa and willingly sacrificed his life to hers, there seemed no real reason why he should pay her for posing, but it had been his invarl-* able custom to give her a fragmentary share of all that he made on his pictares. In keeping back Clarissa’s earnings Tobin felt as guilty as if he

had robbed a bank, even though he promised himself that he would pay her back some day. However, he bought the ticket's, bought them early in the week, for he knew by sad experience that money has a way of escaping even when you have made the best of plans for its future. Once they were purchased and safely stowed away in his pocket a change came over the artist, his conscience ceased to prick him and he felt strangely light-hearted, like a gay, irresponsible truant In all the years of patient drudgery since his father died Tobin had taken no holidays, and now he reveled in the joys of anticipation. He looked kt the tickets every morning to be sure that they were safe, but he said nothing to Diana, for,it was to be a great surprise. Every Wednesday night Diana went with Tobin’s rival, William Hutt, to a moving picture show, and every Saturday afternoon she walked with Tobin through the park. He knew just how she would smile when he told her that, instead of walking in the park, they were to go to the circus together. Diana had a funny, sweet little smile that drove away the pucker from.her brow. So pleasant was this thought that Tobin forgot all about Clarissa until the end of the week. On Friday night he worked late at a downtown art exhibit, but on his way home he stopped to buy a bag of peanuts for the little girl. . Clarissa could not go to the circus, but she could feed the squirrels in the park. The house was in inky darkness when he reached home, for Mrs. Bosey wasted no gas on late arrivals, and it was only by groping cautiously along that Tobin mounted to the fourth floor. All was blackness there except where a faint stream of light shone beneath Diana’s door. He was watching that light and wondering why Diana was up so late when the door opened and a girl crept out into the hall. She closed the door behind her and again the hall was absolutely dark, but Tobin knew that she was coming toward him. He stood still, fascinated, and his heart began to pound loudly. Although he could see nothing, he could hear the soft swish of her garments as she approachedHe felt that he should go, but his strength seemed to have deserted him. Then in the darkness his hand touched hers. She drew away, but Tobin held her and spoke quickly: “Diana, dearest, it’s only Tobin. Don’t be frightened.” The girl stood still; they were alone in the darkness, the other boarders were peacefully snoring, and somehow Tobin’s arms went around her. She leaned against him with her face hidden in his coat, and Tobin, who had fought against his love so long and bravely, lost his senses for a time and began to tell her hurriedly, hotly, all his longing for her. If she made no answer she made no resistance,land rapturously he stooped and kissed her hair and forehead. “Diana, darling,” he begged, “say that you love me. I have no right to ask you, but say that you love me a lit-, tie.” He held her against his heart, but with a sudden movement she leaned away from him, and a match flared out in the darkness. Across its circle of light Tobin looked at the girl, and his arms slowly fell to his side. It was Clarissa, her face all drawn up with suppressed giggles and in her eyes the scornful, unsympathetic glare of a twelve-year-old. “I went to Diana’s room to get some matches," she explained in a whisper. *T think there’s a mouse in our wardrobe.” Then as the light flickered out she leaned toward him eagerly, insistently. , “Tobin, if I promise not to tell the boarders will you take me to see the circus?” ’ Tobin shook his head. “I don’t care,” he said doggedly, "who knows that I love Diana. T “Maybe not,” continued Clarissa shrewdly, “but if the boarders know this they’ll laugh at Diana.”* So Clarissa saw the circus.

London’s Homeless.

On the night of February 9 last 1,203 persons were found homeless in London, this being the smallest lumber on record. The figure was made up of 978 men, 213 women, and 12 young persons. The night was wet at first, then fine, and not cold; 25 men and 23 women were found on staircases atnd under archeh. The London county council report, which publishes these figures, states that although the number of homeless women was less by 108 than in 1911, there was no corresponding increase in the use made of common lodging houses, casual wards, and free shelters. The districts where most of the men were found were the city, 140; Stepney, 122; Westminster, 187; and Islington, 71. In common lodging houses there were 19,710 men, 1,273 women, 196 couples and 24 children; while there were the following vacant beds, 5,642 men, 1,082 women and 49 couples; 40 free beds in institutions were also unoccupied on the night of the homeless census.

Week the Minimum Honeymoon.

A nlan should be compelled by law to take at least a week off for his honeymoon in the opinion of Justice Platzek. T. J. O’Neil, a lawyer, asked Justice Platzek for a three-day adjournment of a case which came up for trial before him the other day, on the ground that he was about to be married, and wished not to be deprived of a wedding trip. But Mr. O’Neil’s specific request 'was denied by the court, which ruled that three days was insufficient and a week none too much for a man about te be married.
