Through the increase ofintelligeRce

Ia contemporary saws, shave been con-
signed to the past With regard to
the latter disease, it is hard to imagine
its destructive yiruience in old times.
Its average annual death rate seventy
years ago, in countries where it was
most closely observed was about 1900
to 900 600 of population, and nearly
one-tenth of all who died, died OF this
disease. What vaccination has effect
ed may be Inferred from the fact that
Copenhagen, in twelve years before
the introduction of vaccination, $500
tpersons died of smallpox; from the
year 1902 to 1878 a period of sixteen
years, after vaccination had been made
compulsory, only l50 persons died of

A NEW impediment to womans pro-

State Register: Miss Jenny Sweeney
was postmistress at BlairstOWn. But
the other day she got married, and
then there was no more any Jenny
Sweeney. Losing her name. she lost
her Office, and widow lady named
French has been appointed in her
place. This suggests an inquiry: Sup
posing some of the unmarried women
elected county superintendents in
Iowa this fall should get married dur
ing their official term. whould they
marry themselves out of office? If
the people of a county elected Miss
Mary Smith superintendent, would
she, as Mrs. Mary Jones-John Jones
wife-be competent to continue in the
position !? how would it be legaliZed ?
1t would look as though Mary, when
she said yes 10 John and the minister
would say goodbye, efIice. 1T may
