AN INCIDENT.

On the train the other day a very solemn
looking man, dressed in black and carrying
hat-box, came along and dropped into
half my seat.
1t is a fine day remarked, desiring
to be friendly.
1t is a fine day, but, young man, how is
it with your soul !? he replied, rolling up
his eyes and looking still more solemn.

Woman Suffrage.

Our State Superintendent of Common
Schools says 1t seems strange that a
body of wise men should deny a woman the
right to vote for person to FILL al office to
which she may be herself elected" He
alludes in these remarks to our late Con
stitutional Convention, which made provis-
ion enabling women to hold any Office under
the school law, but not allowing her to vote
for such officers, thus actually sanctioning
the principle that certain persons are not
capable or qualified to vote for the recipient
of an office, the duties of which they are
fully fitted to perform. Our Superinten-
dent is not alone in his astouishment No
reasonable person can justify such action as
being consistent, aud | have no doubt a
majority Of the.menlbers of the Convention
themselves, if they have thought at all on

Vaccination in China.

It has been stated that the Emperor Of
China's death was caused by the smallpox,
whence it might be inferred that vaccina-
pire. This however Ga1igaaai says is not
the case the virtues of the cow-pox were
known to them many years before Jenner
discovered it in our part Of the world.
Their historians fix it at about the twelfth
century Of our era. Now, as we got the small
pox from the Arabs towards the end of the
tenth century, when RhaZes Grst described
it, the question arises as to whether that
disease existed in China before
A physician Of that country, who has
written an extensive work on medicine,
says on the subject that smallpox was un-
known until the middle of the reign Of the
Cheou dynasty, which hourished about the
sixth century before Christ, and that it
was only towards the end of the Song dy-
nasty, answering to our twelfth century,
that incubation was practiced on young
children rs means OF protection from the
spontaneous maladv The experiment was
first tried on the Enperor's grandson, and
succeeded perfectly, and for more than fifty
years the reputation of this treatment grew
in the minds of the people, but it became
gradually apparent that the remedy was
not infallible, especially when the disease
assumed an epidemic character
As for the cow-pox, the missionaries at
Pekin sent over accounts of it as early as
1779, while Jenner only published his dis
covery in 1886. The way in which the
Chinese inoculate the cox-poy is this =
The dry virus, in pulvcrulent state, is
blown through silver tube into the left
nostril, if the patient be girl, and into the
right one in the case Of boy. 4 second
and more modern method consists in dis
solving the dry virus in four or five drops
Of clear water this is then taken up in a
little cotton, which they thrust into the
right or left nostril, according to the sex,
as above stated The third way consists
in performing the same operation with fresh
virus, which is taken On the spot from
healthy. child.

them, that they may have the word of
life
There was pause for moment, and
then he laid his hand on my arm and con-
tinued-'Y Young man, the Lord loveth a
cheerful giver? Out of your abundance
contribute something for the cause Of the
benighted Even though you are not a
Christian, your. good act will be put to
your credit in that land where all is JOY
and bliss
asked him if he could change $40
bill and give me back S19.25? and he
turned away and seemed weary.
We rode on for about mile, and then
he took strap from his pocket, laid it on
his knee in way to make two seperate
loops in it, and then he said
Young man, thou art sinner, and
thou wilt not contribute to the cause of the
benighted 2
Which the same is true 1 murmured.
On the heather and my cause, desire
to bet five TO three that thou canst not put
thy finger in the loop that will catch, he
said smiling swnetly.
It's the old strap game-seen 1t more
than forty times, l answered.
Solely on account of the benighted
heather do | wish to bet five to three that
thou canst not locate the joker, he went
on, producing three thimbies and pea.
Played it in the army for four years,
[ replied, turning away with mournful
heart.
Then you are will that the heathen
shall struggle on like the beasts of the field
and the birds Of the air . he asked, putting
up his thimble.
Yes, truly l answered.
Tis sad that one SO young should be SO
SINFUL he murmured, and he went to the
other end Of the car and succeeded in heec-
ing an old man out of S34 and watch Oh
the cheek game-for the cause Of the
lcathen in Africa.

Chinese Private Life.

Here are some hints which may be use
ful to some Of our cooks They have "a
large screen before the doorway, which
gives privacy sufficient for their need. The
window shades are closed either by a sort
of Jalousie of thin mating. They do not
surround their domesticities with the same
mysterious and secret precautions with
which we envelope those proceedings in
Europe. Human nature, they argue, has
to sleep, and here is the mat upon which it
stretches itself Why conceal it? it also
wants to eat, and it satisfies its appetite no
matter how many eyes are gazing. Tell

his operations in some far away back re-

where, makes fire on or in ANYTHING, IA

Of the street, or in the centre of his guests

on board Junk, observed a man cook

MOVING THE ROCK OF AGES.

The good people of the town Of E
were talking of moving their meeting
house to more agreeable locality, among
the advocates Of the movement none were
more earnest than old Deacon A.. who, by
the way, has an uncomfortable habit cf
sleeping in chourch. No matter how in
teresting the discourse, the Old deacon was
sure to drop off aboitt such time On
the Sabbath preceding the day appointed
for moving the house, the pastor preached
an interesting sermon on The Rock of
Ages" Growing eloquent in his remarks,
the good minister finally added with great
emphasis:
"Nho can move it ?"
The deacon having been asleep as usual.
woke up just in time to catch the query,
thinking the pastor referred to the meetin.,
house, rose up i'll his seat and exclaimed
"l,ll bring over my yoke of steers, and
they'll jerk it along the whole distance, if
you'll keep plenty of hard wood rollers uu-
der it. !"
The deacon never slept Ia meeting after
that.
