Among thirty epidemcs of small pox that prevailed
in France, One-thiM only, were attecked with
smallpox that had been vaccinated, and the NOR,
tally small, rs well as in the epidemics OF small
box in ENGLAND, Sweden, Denmark, Italy, Malta,
Geneva, &c. Smallpox attacks persons who have
been vaccinated since long period, and spares
those who have recently been vaecinated. Cnii-
dren are seldom attacked with small pox before
the ninth year after vaccination. In adults 1t at
tacks those who have been vaccinated fifteen,
twenty, thirty, or even thirty-ive years previous.
After thirty-ve years of age the aptitude to con-
tract small pox is rare. As to the protective
power of vaccination, it is absolute and general
for the first five or six years. and even to the elev
enth aud twelfth year, 30 to judge from expert
ments ON re-vaccinatiOn, as only few of those
vaccinated become liable during an epidemic, the
greater number being protected during life. In
addition to its protective power, revaccination Is
the only means We have during an epidemic to
stay the spread. In Wurtemberg only one case
of small pOx took place in five years among IA, 3s4
re-vaccinated soldiers, and three cases only among
1854 re-vaccinated civilians. An epidemic of
smallpox has not appeared in France since 1880,
vaccination should he resOrted to after fourteen
years, but sooner during an epidemic.
In conclusion, / would then urge re-vaccination

Last winter we put our bees in the cellar for
the first time. We had tried wintering in the loft
of our shop, and wO do not want to repeat the
experiment; outdoor wintering had pleased us
very well we had not lost a stand for two years
in wintering our bees on their summer stards, al
though many bees wOuld.perish in each hive, and
q large amount of honey would be consumed.
We confess that we had heard of SO many fail
ures, and such disastrous results that it took a
great deal of courage to deliberately place our
bees in the cellar. We left ont few stands, so
that in case of failure we should have enough to
start with in the spring.
1t was on the 9th of December that our bees
were put in. Not long after that time there was
q sudden change in the weather. such is
Characteristic of this section. All the bees the
outside combs in the hives that were left ont were
frozen, and after two or three such changes from
warm to cold which happened during December,
we calculated that at least one-fourth of the bees
were dead in each hive that was left out. The
covered with dead bees while those in the cellar
were all right. We do not believe dozen bees
had died in each hive. We then put the balance
of them in the cellar, and they all went through
combs, no dead bees of any consequence, and very
little honey consumed. Removed them to their
summer stands on the Sd of March. There were
only two days during the latter part of February
that were warm enough to affect the bees in the
cellar; very few came out and were lost. Our
hives were left in the cellar, with the summer en-
trance open, and the movable cover raised SO as
to give thorough ventilation at the top. Last
year being very poor honey season, there was
no profit to the bee-keepers in this section, very
small increase of stocks, and very little honey.
There was considerable done, however, in imprO-
wing stock by way of introducing Italian
queens-if that can be said to be an improve
ment. We have yet to see the Italian bees that
fill the bill of recommendations. We are willing
to pay any reasonable sum for queen that will
be warranted to produce progeny more dOcile
than the black bee, and we would like to hear
from any one that has that kind. While il may
be fact that they store more honey, it is not yet
their black eighbors.-Bee-K Keepers Journal.

WEARING FLANNEL-The majority of people
are not aware of the beneficial effects of wearing
flannel next to the body, both in cold and warm
weather. Flannel is not so uncomfortable in
warm weather as prejudiced people believe. Ere
quent colds and constant hacking coughs have
left me since adopting flannel garments. There is
need of great bulk about the waist, which con-
dennis the wearing of flannel with those who pre-
fer wasp-waists to health, for in that case the
flannel can be cut as loosely fitting waists, always
fastening at the hack. There are scarcely any of
the bad effects of sudden changes of weather felt
by those who wear flannel garments, and mothers
especially should endeavor to secure such for
their little people in preference to all those
snowy outside trimmings which fashion cOmmends.

Now the winds 60 loudly moaning
Through the wales;
And the forest trees are groaning
Mournful tales
OF decays that swiftly gather,
OF the coming wintry weather,
OF the snow that like . feather

And the call
OF death is signing
Over all the ripping streams;
And the Summers lingering CLEANS
Are sadly dying.
It's the waning. waning twilight

That hover. now, all strangely bright.
Round MS here;
And soon the year will pass away,
Like the light of an Autumn day.
Adown old Winters dim highway,
To its tomb;
And the gloom
OF the silent land
Will rest on the bright years flown;
And the winds Of tide will moan

corn Is very cheap and wood and coal very dear,
corn is doubtless the cheapest fuel that can be
