"What had happened was simply this: A tribe of these hornets were swarming over the garden road at the point where we traversed it. (The shout I heard was the warning voice of tho Chinese Coolie, who had thrown aside his buckets and had taken refuge under the long grass in the jungle, when the loud hum of the flying hor.. nets first attracted his attention. nut his cry had come too late to stop my driver, who found the swarm would be upon us before he had time to turn round and go back, so he de- termined to make a dash for it. Had he hesitated. or, with cowardly self- consideration, jumped off and' run for shelter as the coolie had done, I should have been left to the chance of being smashed up by a runaway horse, for the hornets would certainly have at- tacked the animal; or, if they had en- tered the palanquin and swarmed upon me, to the certainty of a sudden and painful death. As I write I recall the sight of a tablet which can be seen in one of the European churches in New thorn India, erected to the memory of a young English lady. with these fate- ful words inscribed thereon; "stung to death by bees near this spot.” Brief Dietionarr--A flirt, broadly speaking, is any woman who is attrac- tive enough to. be opposed to marry- ing, without being thereby any less likely to marry. "The poor syce was already covered with swellings caused by the creatures having crept inside his clothes, and his head and neck were terribly wounded, leaving injuries which would probably have proved fatal to a European, but were less dangerous to A_ti9NApcoH0L1c' MOHAMMEDAN. ".1 realized then from what a hor- rible fate this brave fellow had saved me. This particular species of hor-. net. found in the Malay Peninsula, are twice the size of English ones; their bodies are black, with a scarlet ring round them. and their sting is very poisonous. i FLUNG ME ON THE trEAI' OPPOSITE I soon recovered myself, and opening the door stspped hastily into the road, headless of the tropical midday sun which blazed overhead. But the syce was quicker even then I. He had sprung off the box, and was tearing off his clothing, all the while moaning and crying as if in pain. "The kaboous from the neighboring gardens came. running up, and we were soon surrounded by a small crowd. and then I saw what had hap- pened. It needed no interpretation to explain matters when I beheld hornets almost as large as locusts crawling over the man's back and dropping from his garments, which the kaboons were shaking where they stood beside us in the road.

'the syce began lashing my horse vio- lently, which broke from its former 'jog-trot into a. gallop, and In a second we were tearing along at a break-neck pace, the pulanquin swaying from side to side. I was considerably alarmed, for I could see no reason for the man"a extraordinary conduct, and it seemed as if he had suddenly gone mad. Just then a peculiar flapping sound over- head attracted my attention, and after some slight hesitation I relinquished my grasp of the window ledge, which I had seized in my endeavor to steady myself on my seat, and leaning out of the door I gazed upward. I collapsed into the carriage at once with a gasp of horror. "As the palanquin turned out of the gate at the end of the long avenue which led to the house, and advanced along the road skirting the garden, I was startled," she writes, "by hearing a loud shout coming apparently from the Jungle quite close to the wheels; but I could see no one, and began to think it must have been my "Ire, though rather wondering why so dig- nified baking an individual. should have indulged in such an eerie kind of yell.

The giraffe always marched off with a slow, stately. measured tread, head pretty well up. One day, as he was moving along in that way toward the entrance, we saw him shorten step with his nigh foreleg not more than an inch or two, but a plain difference to us, accustomed to watching him, and he set the leg down stiff and his nose went up a little higher, and we could see up ahove the ttiraffe's head a little quiver in the head of the. ana- conda. and in the same instant-an these things happenedrin an instant-- 1 see you've still got your old ottiee bor, the coils Gound" 'tiaiiGitiiFs"iiiiii"iL gan to shrink. day "The next minute thoy were down on the ground, and long before we could help him the great giraffe was dead." earth, and there herd hold it for a minute, sivaying a little but not much, and hanging just a little off from the perpendicular because the loop of the halter rope was a little way down from the top. . and lift.

What we set oat to do and what we did, after we'd got ready, at every Show, was to have the giraffe seem standing in the ring tied to a post, to have him pull up the post to which he was lied, have the post coil itself around the giraffe's neck, and then have the giraffe walk off out of the ring. with him that way. "We tried the snake first on the cen- l ter pole, burying him near it, andI hoisting him out by a little boom rig-) ged out from it, and letting him coil himself around that.

All thero advantages are said to be possessed in a marked degree by the new maehingi ‘lzig‘s called upon to form a sanitary girdle around the community. De- tachments of Cossacks were in their turn posted at certain intervals for the purpose of keeping a. close watch over these peasants. Then the Russian of- ficers entered the village, which was i found to be a perfect neat of infection. Mohammedans are, as a rule, not clean- ly in their habits, but in this regard the natives of Turkestan are doubly Mussulmans. Orders were immediate-- ly given to burn all the clothing and the furniture of the dead. and to thor- Joughly disinfect every house in the fvillage. Those stricken with the dis. ease were at once isolated in special sheds, hastily built for the purpose.; Those of the inhabitants still free from; the disease were ordered to give up all their clothing, bedding and house- hold utensils, which were burned. Ao.. cording to the latest advice a commis- sion of bacteriological physicians, ac- companied by hospital nurses, has started for Anzob, and the result of its investigations is awaited with no lit.. tte impatience'in St. Petersburg. But there is certainly no doubt that the dmease in this instance is. " in 1878, the tchouma. had already spread about her, emong her relatives; first her parents, then I her brothers and sisters died. A panic lsoon seized the inhabitants of Anzob. “there was no physician in that remote ‘community, but the wise men of the village held a council. and by a unani- mous vote came to the conclusion that the poor woman who had first been at- _ footed ttthe disease had not been buri- DECISIVE MEASURES.

No sooner had it been informed of the ex... istence of the disease than the mili- tary authorities of the province took ed according to the rites prescribed by the Prophet. Hence the anger of the Almighty, whom it was necessuly to up pease before the disease could De stop- ped. Action was immediately taken in the matter, and the natives repair- ed to the Mohammedan cemetery. They disinterred the body of the unfort- nate woman and, after having exam-. ined it at length, buried it again ac- cording to the most approved Mussul- man rites. As a natural result of this performance, a few days later three-fourths of the Inhabitants of the village was stricken with the disease, and the tehouma, as everybody knows, is incurable. l Bat, whereas the famine only inter- ests Russia, and, in reality, but a small portion of the empire, on the other hand the plague interests all Europe. This dread disease prevails in the Pro. vince of Lamarcande, in Turkestan. It was in the village of Anzob, County of Iskender, and District of Piandjekeud, that the disease suddenly made its ap- Pearance. This region is a wild one; mountains, difficult of access and sur- rounded by peaks which, in certain cases, are over 13,000 feet in height. THE ASIATIC PLAGUE. the tchouma, for such is its real name, does not appear this time to have been imported from India. The first sus- Picious case was that of an old woman of the village of Marzin. Another na- tive woman, belonging to the village of Anzob took charge of the body, wash- ed and buried it according to Mussul- man rites. A few hours later this wo- man was taken ill with the disease, and died three days after. But the plague, The government has also decided to employ a. number of these peasants on the construction of new canals through- out the steppes. for purposes of irriga- tion since the bad harvests of the past few years are precisely th eresult of the barrenneaa of the soil. Russia is at the present moment threatened with a double "eqresr-- funine and the peat, or plague. The famine will fortunately be localized in the districts of the Volga. Already the provincial authorities are doing their beat to fight against, or " least to attenuate the effects of the famine. Large provisions of wheat, sent from Siberia. are being distributed among the starving families. All able-bodied peasants have been enlisted by the gov- ernment authorities to labor on public buildings and other works of public usefulness. I line-Fourth of the Inhabitants of the Village or All“.
