The Inlinwing Is short review of The Plague generally.
History shows us that plague epidemic existed in the 14th century both in Asia and and thousands of human beings perished. Europe Since then from time to time, now here, now there, an epidemic has appeared, and notll iately the disease almost seemed to have vanished from the face of the earth. This bow. ever was het 1o. In China it has exlated to this day, especially in Yunnan, where it occurs every year in an endemle form. From the latter place it was Imported 10 Centos, and from Canton, for the fist known time, it has reached How

The principal symptoms of the disease now ravaging Hongkong are the following:-After the period of Incubation, which lasts from three to five days (possibly a litle longer and some docters say as long as eight days), the patient complains of high fever and swelling of one or more of the lymphatic glands (buboes).

If what we hear of the condities of Mr. Crowe is correct, we fear that there is every probability of his ending his days in a locatie Raylom.
It is perhaps worthy of remark that some of the late crew of the Selkirk were perfectly will- ing to re-ship, and expressed themselves having been well treated and well fed.

So John stayed, for lovers are nover eager to part, and he needed no conzing. The next morning, how- ever, he overslept himself, and Maggio's father, st his breakfast, having missed the train, he intended to journey by that day, wondered how the good old clock could have lost an hour in the night. Bat Maggie didn't explain. She moant to set it right again before going to bed, but forgot, which shows once more what everybody should remember-that wo man set back the plock, but we cannot set back the time.
All the same it is possible occasionally to regula lost things. In a women's letter recently recalvad, I find the sentence; "They tell me I look ten years
younger than I did." And if she felt as she looked she was to all practical purposes ten years younger. For, although a clock face looks the same no matter what time it is, human face doesn't. That changes with the condition of the "works," or the life behind it.
The letter goes on thus: "In the spring of 1883 1 felt weak and low.
