what are termed Anagrams, which formed by

ENTHUSIASTICALLY Journal of Health says
that from extended and close observation the
following close deductions seem to be warranted
First, infantile vaccination is an almost perfect
safeguard until the fourteenth year Second, at the
beginning of fourteen the system gradually loses its
capability of resistance until about 81, when many
persons become almost as liable to small pox as if
they had not been vaccnated. Third, this liability
remains in full force until about forty-two, when
the susceptibility begins to decline, and continues
for seven years to grow less and less, becoming
extinct at about ffty-the period of life when the
general revolution of the system begins to take
place, during which it yields to decay, or takes a
new lease Of life for two or three terms of seven
years each. Fourth, the grand practical use to be
made of these statements is: Let every youth be
re-vaccinated on entering fourteen; let several
attempts be made SO to be certain of safety. AS
the malady is more likely oprevail in cities during
the winter special is invited to the subject
at this time.

Theory and Practice.

A late address by Horace Greeley had
some valuable suggestions on this poinr. -
He said
"One OF the greatest present needs of ag
ricultrre is the habit of recording and Jour
nalizing their experience for pub ic use and
benefit on the part of thoroughly practical
men. Day alter day, we, who are termed
theorizers, city farmers, ,dabbers in agricul
ture, are reminded of the superiority of prac
tice 10 theory, fact 10 specuation-as if we
had ever disputed that averment. Day after
day, we Intellectually respond, 'Yes, we
know it; We want facts; we wish TO profit
by your experience do not coniine it 10 The
narrow limits ol your farm and yonr life, but
let US have ii so recorded and displayed that
all may acquire, comprehend ond profit by
it, But those who say most OF the superi
ori,y of practice TO theory, are the last 10
give the world tie benefit of their practice
How many corn.arowers can tell what has
been the precise cost per bushel of the corn
they have grown in each oil lhe last FIVE or
ten years. How many can tell ever for
their own guidance, what crops they have
grown TO the greatest profit, and which have
involved them loss, during any Term OF
years. How many know what the live
stock which they have raised and now own
has cost them. Who knows what the in
,rinsic value of hundred acres Of good
cor. land at given point is, and how many
dollars, more or less, ii should command
per acre than just such land in another
given locality, therefore more or less con-
yenent TO market. These. and thousand
like questions require practical solutions,
and practical men should promptly grapPle
with them. The thriving artisan, mechanic
and manufacturer, all count the cost OF their
several undertakings and products; if they
find they are III, king an article that does not
pay, they speedily relinqnsh it for anoih-
er more promising.

dred men from the neighborng towns roam
ed the woods until night, with 20 better
success. Two cold nights had passed and
no iidings OF the lost ones had reached the
anxious parents. Thursday morning, an
increased number resumed the search. and
continued it during the day with no better
success. Friday and Saturday were spen,
IN the same manner. On Sunday, a fresh
start was taken, which resulted in the dis
coyery of The children. The older lad, on
perceiving their approach, started up from
the side of the other aud made an atemp 10
run. On being told TO stop, for they would
catch him, he obeyed saying Don't hurt
me, have been i'll the woods all night -
The younger was sleeping at the root OF
small tree, with one arm around it; his arm
was stiff and cold, and it was with difficulty
and caution that it could be straightened so
as to unloose his hold. The hand vas black,
and so were the feet, and the latter so swol.

could be stripped off The boys were found
only about two and a half miles from the
