Small Pox and Vaccination.

Inc small pOx seems TO be gaining ground in
New York-there were twenty-five deaths from
the disease in that city last week-and is slightly
relaxing its severity in Philadelphia. In the
latter city there were 2o9 deaths last week-a
decrease of seyen-while the number of cases
decreased 2c0. Our city has so far escaped a
visitation from small pox as an epidemic, but
the few scattering cases here may, unless eyery
proper precautiOn Is taken, be a nucleus for
the development OF the disease in the same az
grayatedfoIm in which ii has appeared in other
communities. 1t found the health authorities
OF other cities unprepared, but we have had
time to guard against broken home circles and
the loss of lives by mismanagement, prejudice
and ignorance Small pOx is now an Affection
which is almost under human control. and n
majority OF the lives lost by it are wanton sacri-
fees, for which the public authorities should
be held responsible. The fact that between
September !, 1871, and January Is,
1872, about 1000 persons died of
strictly Preventisle disease in Philadelphia
is warning which cannot be disregar,Ied.
Dr. John Parry, of that city, in lecture before
the social science association last week made
some statements which are all the more valua-
BILE after his home experience. Three i'm portant
measures are recommended 1. Complete and
thorough isolation Of persons affected by the dis
case. ?. Perfect diSinfection of the homes and
effects Of those who are i'll with il. 3. Systematic
vaccination and re-vaccination, which should be
made compulsory. The doctor said that the
amount of Ignorance in regard to vaccination is
truly surprising. The degree OF protection af
fOrded varies much with the manner in which
the operation is performed. If properly done it
Il almost absolute. No child should be yacci-
mated in less than four places, and in the per-
fOTmance of this operation no physician should
allow himself to be influenced by maternal SYM

and a second time Immediately after the 18th or

wears out and has TO be renewed eyery seven
wears Is unsupported by any facts whatever.
RG-yaceination is important, and should never
he omitted after the 18th year of life Vaccine
ton has not increased the mortality from other
diseases, such as scrofula and consumption: ON
the contrary, many persons are protec ted from
these diseases, which might be developed i'm

proof can be furnished that scrofula or syphilis
are ever transmitted with vaccine virus. With
IroPerlyselecte virus there is no danger at all.

the general title of the " Pedant, and
in this fossil textbook we find Jokes
that have been handed down through

come old and familiar friends Among
these ancient iests is an account of
man who, for fear of drowning, deter
mined not to enter the water until he
was master of the art of swimming of
the man who complained that his horse
died Just as he had taught it to live
without food ; OF the philosopher who
carried stone about with him as Il

stood before a glass with his eyes shut

The Sea Sernent.

A gentleman, says the Inverness
| Courier, on whose Intelligent observa-
ton and accuracy we have perfect re
lance, sends the following account of
a strange animal now to be seen about
the west coast of Inverncss-shire, and
which. II not the vefitable or tradition
al sea serpent, must be the object so
often represented under that appella-
ton:
"sOn Tuesday last, went on a trip
to Locnouin, in my small salling-boat
| was accompanied by my friend and
acquaintance, the Rev. Mr.. 80, of
Kent, my two daughters, young man,
MY grandson, and a serVant-lad. While
we were proceeding along the Sound
of Sleat, it fell calm, and we were
rowing the boat, when we observed
behind rs a row of dark MASSES, which
we took at first glance, for a shoal of
PROPOSES but a second look showed
that these masses formed one and the
same creature for it moved slowly
across our wake, about two hundred
yards off, and disappeared. Afterwards,
what seemed its head reappeared, fol
lowed by the bumps, or undulations of
the body, which rose in succession till
we counted eight of them. 1t APP
preached now within hundred yards
or less; and with the help of binocu-
lars, of which there happened to be
three on board, we could see it
pretty distinctly. We did not see it's
eyes, nor observe any scale, but two Of
the party believed that they saw what
they took to be small fin moving above
the water. 1t then slowly sank, and
moved away just under the surface of
the water for we could trace its course
till it rose again, by the large waves it
raised above it) to the distance of
mile and upwards We had no means
of measuring it's size with any accuracy
but, taking the distance from the cen
ire of one bump, or unditlation, of it's
body to that of another at six feet, land
it could not be 1ess), the length of the
portion visible above the water would
be about so feet and there might have
been about 90 to 80 feet more of its
length which we did not see. It's head
seemed blunt, and looked about Is
inches in diameter, and the bumps
were rather larger than the head. When
in rapid motion the bumps disappear
ed, and only the head and neck could
be seen partly above the surface of the
water. 1t continued to rush about IN
the same manner as long as we remain
ed within sight of the place, but did
not again come SO near us that day.
On the afternoon of the next day, as
we were returning home, we encounter
ed our strange acquaintance again
within the entrance of Lochourn, and
saw him careering swiftly along the
surface of the water, which was now
slightly ripping eth light air of
wind

Milking Nnucr-kt.aut

The best we ever ate we made ourselves
tor many years, aud for considerable
time with our own hands, and always from
Savoy cabbage. 1t was manufactured in
this wise:
In the first place let your stand,
holding from half barrel TO a barrel, be
thoroughly scalded out; the cutter, the
tub and stamper also we'll scalded Take
on all the outer leaves of the cabbage,
halt them, remove the heart and proceed
with the cutting.
Lay some clean leaves at the bottom OF
tue stand, sprinkle with,a handful of salt,fll
IN halt bushel Of c1t cabbage, stamp
gently until the Juice Just makes its ap-
pearance, then add another handful ofsalt.
and so on until the stand is full. Cover
over with cabbage leaves, place ON top a
clean board fitting the space pretty well,
and On top of thata stone weighing twelve
or fifteen pound Stand away in q cool
place, and when hard freezing comes on
remove to the cellar: Ii will be ready
for use in from four to six weeks. The
cabbage should be cut tolerably coarse

Storing Vegetables fer spring.

Most vegetables will retain their sound.
ness and flavor much better buried in the
earth than in the best of cellars. The
proper storing of vegetables should be at
tended to IN season, before cold stormy
weather comes on, when they will be wet
perhaps frost bitten. and the workman will
be tempted 70 hasten, and slight the opera
ton.
A dry, and elevated situation should be
selected, where there will be no danger of
water soaking into the pit. We prefer to
bury the vegetables almost entirely be-
meath the surface, believing that they can
be more easily and eertainlyipTotected from
the frost under than above ground. 1.-THE
phi be dug two and ono half feet deep, and
four feet wide, every foot in length will
contain about seven bushels, and pit five
feet long will hold good wagon load,
perhaps enough for one PIT.
Potatoes should be covered with a few
inches OF dry straw before putting on the
dirt; but we think that turnips, carrots,
rafsnips, onions and horse. radish retain
their plumpness and flavor better if in close
contact with the earth. The covering Of
the pits should be shallow at first, and they
should be ventilated with wisps of straw,
aid the surface packed smooth with the
back of the shovel, to shed the ram. Be-
fore hard freezing weather, they should be
covered about three feet in depth to guard
against the possibility of frost penetrating
10 the vegetables.
Cabbages require different treatment
from other vegetables, not demanding e;s.
tire protection from frost, but only from
frequent freezing and thawing About
as good way as any We ever rracticed,
is TO stand them upon their heads, on the
surface of the ground, four or six rows in
width, and cover with six or eight inches
of dirt. 1.-THE leaves are mostly left on
the cabbage, they are quite protection of
themselves, especially if the cabbage are
inverted. If the dirt used in covering them
be taken from trench around the bed, the
water will settle into it, draining the bed.

Soaking Seed in Dry Times.

Rural Home says: "This is pracGced
TO a considerable extent, bat We have ct
served that it IS risky operation unless
particular attention is paid to putting the
coil in suitable condition. A soaked seed
IN dry and lumpy soil is almost sure to
perish the drouth is prolonged. The dry
earth and the air in the creuces around the
grain extract the moisture before the roots
form and begin to absorb food from the
soil. But il the soll is well pulverized, SO
that It's natural condition is somewhat
moist, and the seed is then covered pretty
deep, it will usually live. Thuse who en-
deavor to hasten growth by soaking the
seed previous to planting, should take
care to use the roller and harrow without
stint.
