PLAGUE IN INDIA,

THE HONGKONG TELEGRAPH, MONDAY, MARCH 18, 1901.

It is not for nothing I fancy, in this part off Hill, L. Gloucestershire, that one day seems struck ↑ Herman, H. V. from the calendar.

RICHARD. PRYCE.

The Increase of plague is not confined to Bombay City or Presidency, says the Bombay Garette of the 23rd alt, but is general through- Many people seem of like mind. It is pro- out Indix, the only area free being the Central bably one of the signs of the restlessness of the Provinces.

In them get ahead of one as regards the latest Bombay the deaths due to plague for the week news, the newest rumour of anything and reached 897, ar nearly 40 per cent, more than everything. To live in a fever of bustle and in 1900, when at this time the City was teeming rush, and yet, as a rule, to do less work worth with famine refugees. Bombay is not free from doing, and waste more time over it, than one the latter at the present time. The scarcity up. did formerly. Perhaps it shows a landable country is becoming more intense, with the interest in other people's affairs, and a friendly result that poverty-stricken: people are daily disposition to be appalled at the motion of being increasing in Bombay, Relief works are being left for one day without newspapers or friends started in many places in the mofussil, but to talk to, but it also seems to show that ones there are vast numbers who prefer to do no own thoughts are not worth very much, that work and subsist on the charity of those who we are incapable of amusing or interesting will assist them.

RUSSO-CHINESE BANK OPENED

IN COLOMBO.

+

It will be interesting to some of our readers. says the Times of Ceylon for the 14th alto,, to know that a Russo-Chinese Bank has just been opened in Colombo. The headquarters are in St. Petersburg, with numerous branches, in European and Asiatic Russsia, China and Japan and Mongolia, and the one just opened is the first branco establishment in India and Ceylon. The Agents are Messrs Stcherbatchoff, Tehokoff and Co., Agents of the Russian Volunteer Fleet, and well-known. Russian tea merchants, and business is transacted in the their present premises in the Victoria Arcade. Mr. Tchokoff, who is the manager of the concem, had very little to tell at present as the business has just been started, the branch being opened as from the 1st inst. He is expecting details from headquarters shortly, and will then be able to supply some interesting particulars. The President of the Bank is Prince Oukhtomsky, who passed through Colombo a short time ago on his way to Europe from China; and the only branch in Europe, with the exception of the offices in Russia, is in Paris. In China there are many branches, including offices at Shanghai, Han- kow, Pekin, Tientsin, Chefu, and Newchwang, and at the foreign settlements of Port Arthur and Kiaoutschow; and higher up at Kalgan, Harbin, and Ounga, and Kashgar above the Indian Frontier. In Japan the offices are at Nagasaki, Yokohama and Kobe. The opening of the local branch would, of course, prove useful in effecting an increase in our tea exports, and possibly in other products, but Mr. Tchokoff was "not at present prepared to supply details as to the way in which this would be effected. However, some particulars of interest were promised us shortly.

·A SUNDAY FROM HOME.

Pang-tang-wang-lang (suddenly out of the silence). Pang-tang-wang - lang!-you are wrong though, this is not Chinese. The bells are ringing for church again. Hear them! Pang-tang-wang-lang (cracked, every man jack of them) Pang-tang-wang-tang. Then, lang- wang-pang tang for as long as you can bear it; when, suddenly also, something compounded of all and unspellable: Pitwangi shall we say, attempting the impossible! Pitwang (crash jangle) Pltwang |

Here, where Bristol, Bath, the Cotswolds are in the day's easy traffic-with Badminton further afield, and Berkeley Castle for the limit perhaps of feasible excursion-here ian village in which Sunday is cast high and dry on the week. With two posts a day and full days, your even. ing paper of the night before at your bedside when you wake, the Times and Mirror (of Bristol) at breakfast, with the London papers to follow, the world is with you-your finger on she pulse of it-from Monday to Saturday. You rise in the morning refreshed, and, out of the hurry and bustle of life, with the kindly scents and sounds of the country in your receptive nostrils and cars, go a pleasant way complacently, Away from the turmoil you are in touch with your London-from Mon. day to Saturday. But from four of the clock upon Saturday hope is abandoned, From four of the clock upon Saturday, when the second post comes, to 'eight of the same upon Monday, there is an island in time, so that Sunday-to the profane think. ing of one is not so much the day of rest that he is willing to concede that it ought to be, as the dead day, for the isolation of it, that comes between live, Saturday and live Monday,

Measured from post to post, as a bird is mea sured across the wings from tip to tip, or big game, say, from the point of the nose to the end of the tail, this island of Sunday numbers forty bours. In forty houre, paperless and postless, you will readily believe that, giving a due proportion of them to sleep, exercise, your devotions, and your meals, there will yet ba round hour or so in which to find yourself at loose end-with a thought over your shoulder to the openness of Saturday, or a sigh, it is more probable, for the distance of civilized Monday, Then it is that you will be homesick for Looden-postless, I grant you, too; but clubbed, papered, peopled, ..

Oh, the pitiless bell! Oh, monotony the peace of the village!

This is the moment when yesterday and to- morrow seem furthest; when you realize deep. deep in your soul that you in your island of Sunday are cut off from men. What do they, to whom it is of weekly, recurrence, do in this hour of postlessnessness-what?

But still the great question of the day seems to be how to kill the present hour, and if possible 10 get it done for us. People do not seem to reckon up whether they can afford such and such a thing, not a necessity, but merely, think if they have the money in hand for the moment. If they have, well why should'nt they spend it; other people do. And why not spand it in kill. ing time i

No one has any right to live up to their in- come, as it is called, for even farm labourers manage to save for a rainy day, and why not people who are in much better case to do so? This applies almost as much to single as mar ried people, for if any misfortune should throw them out of employment, and they have made no prevision therefore, they are a burden either to their friends or their country.

We have digressed somewhat from our ari: Rinal subject, the rage for amusement, but the two issues are in intimate relation to each other.

HOW TO CHOOSE A POTATO.

la judging a potato it is almost unnecessary to point out, says the Journal of Greengrocery; that the sample should be fairly "sizeable," neither consisting of unsaleable chats nor con- taining many of Brobningnagian proportions.

In the next place, without laying it down us a sine qua non that the skin must not too closely resemble satin, we should, if handed two samples, the one extremely smooth and waxy looking, and the other somewhat on the lines of the Dunbar, pay special regard to the latter. Then a piece should be cut off without cutting too deeply. The flesh should be white; if it be unwholesomely yellow it can hardly be expected to come out white from the pet!

Next plunge a knife into the potato. If it be a good one it will hold the knife tenaciously, but if the latter amerges readily, as it were from a sponge, another sample should be tried. Aktywhich cut the potato in halves. A slight watery "star" in the centre is not a serious detriment, but if it has a dark watery "ring" round the centre it is probably of the black cooking variety, and should only be bought as * "cheap."
