MYSTERY OF THE PLAGUE.
How and Why Did It Disappear From
England In 1667?
Why did the plague disappear from
England? Mr. Bernard Shaw inci
dentally asks this deeply interesting
question in a letter to the Nation, and
we cannot say that we are satisfied
with his answer. He says he “knows"
that plague has been “extirpated" by
“common sanitation."
Until the recent sporadic imported
cases, the last recorded cases of plague
in England occurred at Nottingham in
1607. In that year plague vanished ut
terly from England for two and a half
centuries. No- one w ho has examined
the records of the seventeenth century
can believe that it was “extirpated" by
sanitation. Very gradually in the suc
ceeding century and a half plague
withdrewr from Europe also.
The date of its disappearance from
Constantinople has been fixed at about
the year 1841. It remained endemic
only in a few* lonely places in the
world, such as the highlands of west
ern Arabia. Yunnan in China and Mes
opotamia. Sanitation, though an ex
cellent palliative, certainly never drove
the plague from Stamboul and Cairo
and the southern Mediterranean, any
more than it did from England.
The shrinkage of plague is as great
a mystery as the rec ent outburst which
infected the whole world. Perhaps the
explanation is that in a few years bac
teria may go through the myriad trans
forming processes of evolution w’hich
in the case of humanity take eons to
complete.—Pall Mall Gazette.
A Stickler For Good Form.
“Of course you looked up the new
girl’s references?”
“Flow could I. dear? They were
from a lot of women l don’t know.”—
Cleveland Plain Dealer.
Estimating It.
“I hope 1 haven’t kept you waiting
too long,” gushed the girl.
“Only about $3 worth.” estimated
the young man with the taxicab out
side.— Pittsburgh Post.
An Incentive.
Mrs. Crawford—I thought you said
you weren’t going to the sewing circle?
Mrs. Crabshaw—But, my dear, I didn’t
know then about the things you have
told me.—Judge.
