The American public has been
aware of no little interest and stir,
during the last year, among the people
called Methodists, in commemoration
of their origin, as a religious denomi-
nation a hundred years ago. They
proposed to signalize its centenary
Jubilee in a thoroughly American
style, by thoroughly practical aims
Some of these aims seemed marked
by our nationally -characteristie spirit
of exaggeration. The Methodists
had, doubtless, much to boast of, and
much to hope for They had become

gious communion of the nation, com

ity) two millions of COMMITMENTS,
and about seven OF eight millions of
the population, IN their congregations
-thati is to say, about one fifth Of the
American people. Though begin
ming as a Church of the poorer class
es, they had, by the habits of frugal
ity and industry which Christianity
inculcates, and by the facilities of
American life, been rapidly growing
wealthy, like their less successful con-
temporaries, the Quakers. Still, when
their last General Conference pro-
posed to them the sum OF two millions
of dollars, as their centenary contri-
button, besides all their usual annual
religious expenditures, the public gave
them credit for a very generous ealcu-
lation, but hardly expected to see it re-
allied. No little surprise is therefore
expressed to find that the contribu-
ton actually amounts to about ssUea

snALuPox AND VACCINATION

DIR. Dauet, charged by the French
unintstap6f the interior to make inyesti-
patiou<n6n the suhjectof smallpox and
vaeeif.tion, and to report to the acad-
envy eof medicine, after Vaccinating
$500 persons and forty animals, and after
an extensive observation running
through several years, has just reported
as follows, to the academy:
l. Smallpox and eowpox are two dis
tinct diseases.
2 Vaccination does not predispose to
ether maladies.
3. Vaccination and smallpox lose after
a certain dime their power Of preserving
from smallpox.
4 Vaccine matter, therefore, no mat
ter what may be the mode of preserving
it, has need of being renewed.
;. The predisposition TO smallpox Is
go much the greater as the individual Is
younger or more aged.
6. Re-vaccination is of an absolute
necessity.
7. Those even who have had the small
pox ought 10 be re-vaccinated.
S Vaccine matter, in passing through
the human body, borrOws from il its con-
stitutional principles; it may, therefore
often be dangerous TO vaCcinate with vac
cine matter from arm to arm. The scad-
emy of medicine had already decided
that, so far at lesst as regarded syphll-
litic affection, it was only dangerous
when blood was contained in the matter.
8. The cow is refractory to the syph-
illitic virus.
10. The re-vaecination 'front.' he COW e
man is the only one which presents all
the guarantees of success and OF security
IL. A febrile condition is in general
cause Of failure.
u. Injection, for preserved vaccine
matter. and the multiplicity Of scaritca'
tions, in general, are the best means oi
success.
10. Preserved vaccine matter ought tC
be revivified by transplantation to The
heifer.
IA. Vaccine mstter ought not to be
used but from the fourth TO the end o
the sixth day after the operation ant
never later.
On 1895 persons of all ages vaccinated
il took on 2S20, that is to say, on 80 pc
cent. of which 40 per cent. for the vac
cine matter from the heller, and 26 pc
cent. for the matter passed from arm t.

The whole lower part of the town, which
WAS the finest and the richest, has disap-

standing. In the center OF the town the
houses have also suffered TO a great
extent; most of them will require
10 be built again. The only part
spared was that lying against the
mountain; but it is doubtful II that
town, so fiourishing few days ago,
will ever rise from its ruins. During lhe
last few years the cultivation OF the
Corinth raisin and olive had made great
advances in the island, and since me
annexation to Greece, Oryostoh hau
become the principal center Of the ralsln
trade. During last year Is, 900, 600 pounds
of that produce have left that port. Used
10 a life OF comfort, the inhabitants OF
that doomed town are now without
homes and without clothes-in iaeti
with no resources at all. A few wooden
sheds have been built, but they can
shelter only a few families. The mass
