During the first three and a half months of 1907 the deaths from the plague in India totalled 404,000, the heaviest monthly mortality yet reported during the epidemic. According to the Indian World this would appear to show that the present year will exhibit a re- cord number of deaths. The plague records for the ten years October, Mil, to December, 1906, show that there was a large annual increase from 1901 to 1904, the deaths numbering 274,040 in 1901, 577,000 in 1902, 557,000 in 1003 and 1,022,000 in 1964, the worst year in ten years. ! There was a small decrease in 1905, the deaths falling to 051,000, and a large decrease in 1906, when there were only 332,000. The total deaths for the whole ten years numbered 4,411,212. The im- provement which was shown in the two years 1905 and 1906 has not, unfortu- nately, been maintained. From the first appearance of the dis- ease up to the year 1901 the mortality was greatest in the Bombay Presidency, but from 1992 (Inward, with one excep- tion, the worst area has been the Pun- jab; and in 1905 the deaths in the latter Province alone numbered 364,625.

They were interrupted by a rap at the door. Cassinove, or Lord Etheridge, as we must now call him, opened it. Mrs. Moberly stood them to inquire whether "her ladyship," as she had never ceased to call Latira, would have break- fast served in her chamber, and whether Mr. Cassinove would join the family at the breakfast table. He replied that he would breakfast with his lady, it they pleased; and soon after an elegant little breakfast was served in their room. At noon that day lard wed Lady Eth- eridge sought an Interview with the Duke and Duchess of Bereeleigh. They met in the library, and when the doors were closed and they had seated them- selves around the central writing -table, Lord Etheridge laid before the Duke of Beereleigh a package of documents that he requested. him to examine.
