VdcctHdti0a.-l In several countries Of
Europe, general vaccination IS ordered
by government NJ ona who has moi
had COW pox, or small pox can be con-
fiImed, put 70 school, apptenticed, or
married. Small pox incubation is pro-
hibited; if it appears in any house, that
house is put under quarantine. BY such
means The mortality Of small pox, in
1918 had been prodgiousIy les'ened.-.
In Copenhagen, II was reduced from s.
800 during l2 years to 157 during l6
years. Ia Prussia il was reduced from
10000 annually TO less than 3,0oo and
in Berlin, in 1919, only 25 persons died
of this disease. In Bavaria, only five
persons died Of small pox in II years,
and in the principally of Aospach, il
was completely exter!piuaied. T.; Eng.

not only to im5ibe the small pox them
selves, but TO 60 abroad and scatter the
venom on these they meet. A few
years ago il broke out in Norwich, anc
carried of more persons in one year
than had ever been destroyed in thai
city by any one disease, except the
plague. A similar epidemic ragged n
Edinburgh; and last year il destroyed
within one of 1900 persons in the Lon

PARENTAL GOVERNMENT.

Few subjects are more worthy Of Sc
rious concern, than that which relates
10 domestic government yet there are
few considerations SO little regarded in
comparison with their importance. Peo-
pie seldom sit down 10 reflect upon The
best method OF governing their children,
and seem 10 be unconscious that 10 early
childhood, their ienpers, and in a grea;
degree, their manners are becoming es-
tabiished for life. The habits OF chill
dren are the 'oGspring0 Of their inslruc
tiun and circumstances, comparatively
tritling, are often known to produce i'm.
pressions which are never eradicated
There is perhaps, no complaint which
relates to children, more general, than
the habit Of prevarication and falsehood.
And however degrading and pernicious
this practice may appear; and however
deplorabie and morliiying 10 parents, il
general, they may attribute the case to
themselves. child, in the agiessness
of Infancy, never thinks OF telling lie
but circumstance apparently trifing
will suggest TO him The expediency oil
ialsehood: for instance; child through
ignorance plucks up a choice flower, in
stead OF a noxlous weed THE flower
is missed, and the whole family is inter
rogaied 10 ascertain who has done the
mischief. Piesentlythe child approach
es, and in an artless manner coniesses the
fact, unsconscious of any wrong. The
parent, stung with regret at the loss o
The flower, resorts 10 hagellation, &C
complained with many threat in cas-,
the child should ever be guilty of lik'
