NEW STYLE OF VACCINATION The Nov
ember number of Harper'S magazine gives the
details OF an improved method OF vaccination,
winch IN view of the ravages OF the small pOX
IN Philadelphia and other Cities may per-
haps deserve the attention of our medical
practitioners. The new plan was first prsc-
tced by Mr.. Ellis, an English physician. Or
binary vaccination is performed by scraping
OF the epidermis and thrustng the vaccine
virus into puncture made by the lancet. a
greatly improved method, however, consist
In raising a small blister by drop of can
tharides applied to the skin. This is to be
pricked and drop of fluid let out, and a fine
vaccine point put in this place and with
drawn after moment of delay the epider-
mis- falls back and quite excludes the air,
shutting out any germs that night be float
ing about in the atmosphere This method
has been practiced by Mr.. Ellis for twenty
years, and out Of hundreds OF cases of vacci-
nation which he has performed, he has never
had an instance OF blood poisoning or abcess,
while by the ordinary method au occur
renee OF secondary abcess is by no means I'M
common, and that py@mia is often observed.
The comparative safety of this method ia
due, first, to the exclusion cf the all, and,
second, to the lesser size of aperture for the
introduction Of mischief than when the
punctures are made by the lancet.

SCIENTIFIC PHENOMENAL very remarka-
bic discovery made by Professor Higgins,
the celebrated astronomer and spectrocoplst
of England, reveals the fact that the atmos.
phere Of the distant planet, Herschel, is com.
posed almost entirely OF ydrogen (gas). This
wonderful announcement, SO contrary to all
the theories held by scientific men respecting
the constitution aud condition of those dis
tant planetary orbs, lwiIl oyerturn many OF
the books and writers who have produced
volumes on the constitution Of the universe,
etc. From the nature of the case, the inhab
itants of that far eff world, if there are any,
must live without fire, as any one spark Of
combustion would burn everything and ex.
plode the whole concern. Truly, science is
Bringing matters to light, which throw all
ancient wonders into the shade, and we are
fortunate in living in such progressive
age.

sMALL-Pox.-The terrible scanning and
pitting of the face, neck and other exposed
parts of the body, consequent upon the severe
attacks OF the smallpox, are well known.
1t is noticeable, however that the scalp is
always exempted from marks, even after the
severest form OF the disease, the covering al
torded by the hair preserving it from pittng.
Remem boring this fact, it recently occurred
10 an English physician, while watching a
photographer using cotton wool to shut out
light in the process of vIgnetting" photo
graphs. that the material, if applied to the
face and neck of smallpox patients, might
give protecting influence somewhat similar
to that afforded to the scalp by the hair, and
thereby prevent or modify the subsequent
pitting. Having under trea ment a couple OF
cases OF convalescent small poX, he therefore
applied cotton wool to Otect the face Inc
disease in each case was of the distinct form
One Of the two, a girl aged fifteen years, had
an abundant eruption, which in the unprotect-
ed parts of the body went through the usual
consecutive changes. In both cases the parts
covered by the wool were left without YES
tige OF marks. The mode of application was
as follows: On the first appearance OF the
eruption patches Of skin, about dn inch squire,
were washed over with collodin, and immedl-
ately covered with thin Inform layer OF tine
wool the wool readily adheres if applied
before the colodin evaporates. When the
whole OF the face, etc, was then covered, the
wool was brushed over with q solution or
starch Or gum. The starch or gum was Occa-
sionally re applied to the edges of the wool
to prevent any shifting by the movement of
the face. This covering was kept on until
the dry crust fell off the other part Of the
body. In view of the results of the expert
ment, the mode Of treatment would seem
worthy of further trial.

An action was recently decided in Phila-
delphia, by Judge Thayer, in favor of a hus-
band who had been sued by dry goods firm
for the amount of bill run up by his wife.
Defense set up that defendant furnished his
wife with an ample supply of necessaries.
In the course of his charge Judge Thayer
said: 6 1t is false and foolish notion for
trades people to entertain that husband is
bound to pay 'all bills contracted by his
wife. No such monstrous doctrine is allow
ed in the law. Tradesmen must ascertain
the facts and true relations of man and wife
before allowing the latter to run up bills
which he Is to be looked to for pay"

The defective administration of the criminal
law of Indiana is held up as plea in exten
nation of lynch law by several respectable
papers in that State, who say that, judging
from the action of the courts, thieves, per-
jarers and murderers are very worthy class
of citizens whose rights are in great danger
Of invasion, and that the assduity with
which the Judges of the Supreme Court
labor to prevent the punishment Of crime is
really wonderful. The natural consequence
is the form alton OF secret bands of avengers,
who carry out justice. in many instances,
through mob law. So will it be everywhere
where laws are made to punish guilt after its
proof,an only used to shield it from it's legal
responsibilities.

CHINESE DwARFs.-Making dwarfs and

the first, Child of three or four wears is
taken and heavy porcelain vase is put over
him, so that the head alone is free. This is
taken OIL every evening SO that he may sleep,
but is put on again In the morning The
child thus advances ia age in this infexible
mould, Hntil he can no longer grow. Then
the vase is broken. The horrible sufferings
that must be experienced in this process are
even exceeded by the practices OF certain eE

We understand that old Mr.. Bennett, the
FOUNDER Of the New York Herald, has so
greatly failed In health and strength that he
now takes almost no interest in anything, and
is gliding gently into helplessness and second
childhood. For months past weIhave noticed
an unusual reticence concerning him by the
press at large. He has ceased to be sneered
at and abused. His name still stands at the
head of the great newspaper which he called
into life and power, but his contemporaries,
who for many years gave him daily blow,
now refrain from kicking the sick lion. Old
age and weakness thus come not unattended
with compensations, after all.
