Security Against SMALLPOX.

Some striking evidence Of the impor-
tance Uf revaccination as affording se-
curity against smallpox is given in let
ter from the medical officer OF Saliord,
England, which was read at tho meet
ing Of the board OF guardians OF that
union. Referring to the admission OF
smallpox patients intothe hospital, there
being soventy.six inmates Of tho insti.
tuition affected by that disease, tho re.
port states that there have been very few
cases indeed where persons affected had
beon revaccinated. There isno denying
tho fact that considerable number Of
cases Of smallpox, in which the primary
operation has been more or less perfectly
performed, havo been admitted into the
Infectious wards Of the workhousc. On
the other hand aud this is tho point to
which attention is specially drawn-
among tho total number Of cases Of
smallpox admitted into tho workhouse,
now reaching 400, tho medical officer is
not aware OF n single case which has
been fairly revaccinated-that IL, when
tho operation OF revaocination had been
repeated in or after adolescence. One
man, however, Inns been admitted who
had been revaccinated, but only day
or two before ho came under observa-
tion, and when he wlls actually under
effect OF the poison Of smallpox. In the
discussion which followed it was men,
toned that the medical officer had re-
vaccinatod upward OF 1000 persons, and
had not heard Of one OF them taking
smallpox afterward.

An Amateurs Experience.

Says the Springfield Qll. } Rcyister: A
singular accident, which nearly resulted
in the death Of young man by the
name OF al. Kennedy, occurred in a "a
loon in tho eastern part Of the city. For
the amusement Of crowd at the saloon
in question, man named Dow, q pro-
fessor OF the elegant art OF sword swal.
lowing, was giving an exhibition. With
the most charming grace, and to the in
finite delight OF those present, he passed
the sword, small steel instrument
about eighteen inches in length, down
his throat and into his stomach. Ken
nedy was so charmed by tho exhibition
that he solicited the loan Of the sword
for the purpose OF experimenting ia the
same direction. II was handed to him,
and, with IN air OF intense satisfaction,
and with perfect confidence, he opened
wide his mouth, passed in the steel, md
attempted to place himself outside OF it
at o single "gulp." But tho result
proved tho ambitious youth m ignorant
bungler. The sword came in contact
with tho hyoid bono lat the base OF the
tcnguc) and displaced it. The sword
was instantly withdrawn, and Kennedy
attempted to walk out OF the house, but
before reaching the door ho fell to tho
floor, and very soon seemed to be almost
in dying condition. His eyes closed,
his whole frame convulsed, the power Of
respiration well nigh ceased, and he
seemed to be totally uncoucious. The
hyoid bone, as all well informed Journal.
lists know, is located ut the base OF the
t. nguo, and is moveable, ossoous arch,
corvex before, and suspended in the
substance of the softer parts OF the
neck. With this explanation the gen.
eral publicl will appreciate the young
mans condition fully. In view OF the
gravity Of the case, messenger was at
once dispatched for a physician, and
soon returned with DR.. Gatfney. The
doctor, ION learning the nature
of the c,se, inserted his finger in
the mouth OF the young nan and re.
placed the bone. Relief came quickly
too quickly, indeed, for the doctor.
The fellows rigid muscles relaxed, and
he closed his teeth on tho finger OF his
savior with telling effect, lacerating
the tlcsil oil each sidO Of the hand Just
below the knuckle. Kennedy improved
steadily from that moment, and at last
accounts was in n fair way to wholly re-
cover. 1t is quite probable that he will
not care to repeat the experiment OF
sword swallowing in n hurry.

ASiatlc Cholera. -.

DR.. Bonnalont, in communication
upon the Asiatic cholera. read beforetho
academy Of medicine at Paris, enunciates
the following general propositions
First, this disease cannot originate spon-
'taueously in any other country than
India, but must reach other regions by
transportation or by the germs Of tho
disease, atmospheric currents, or some
other vehicle; second oil 7hygicnic
methods 10 avert this plague must bo
initiated aud maintained in the country
OF its origin; third, that i, ia not tho
dead animals abandoned on The: soil by
caravans OF pilgrims or tho number Of
human bodies thrown into tho Ganges
that produced the eruptions OF the
Asiatic cholera, as .thesepra 'tices havc
prevailed for ages, while appearances OF
tho epidemic or Asiatic cholerain Europe,
Africa, or America date only from the
present. century fourth, other. causes,
therefore, must exist for the frequent
movements OF this disease, and 1t lis in
India that these are to be. investigated
fifth, secondary epidemics may perhaps
be developed in points already infected,
but with very rare exception they never
assume the exact features Of genuine
cholera, and they will generally fade ont
aud disappear until REINFORCED by Q new
eruption from the original starting point.
Therefore, tho special points to be con-
sidered are the questions why cholera
has remained for centuries in m endemic
and stationary condition in 1ndiaS and
why it has recently emerged thro gu
the atmospheric conditions and the man.
ners and customs OF the Hindoos, and
pilgrims apparently remain unchanged

The White HOusse...Its History n.y.

The White House, OF Washington D.
G., vas commenced in October 1892.
The commissioners Of Washington City,
sort Of board OF public works in those
days, offered o premium for competitive
plans, and tho award was given to Jas.
Hoban. The building is modelcd.after
the palace Of the Duke Of Lsinster.' 1t
is ITO feet front by eighty.six feet deep.
1t has the appearance Of being built OF
white marble, but. tho. material is free
stone, painted white, with Ionic nortico,
comprehending two stories, crowned
with a balusfrade. The interior is
planned more for display than for
health. 1t Is curious to remember in this
centennial year that in 1914 the British
ers invaded the White House. and very
seriously injured tho magnificent, state
dining-room by theirrude and barbarons
practices. The invaders hands, which
have had recourse to the torch, did not
hesitate to deface the columns aud pau.
elinss OF the Presidential mansion with
spur and blyonet. The building was
repaired under the supervision OF the
original architect, Jas. HobAn.

BaIled Treasure Hunters.

Tho San Francisco Post says: Tho
schooner J. H. Roscoe, with its cargo Of
trca, ure seekers, arrived here from Cocos
island. A large number OF people
gathered to greet the gold hunters, to
borrow money Of them, or ut least to
feast their eyes Upon the heaps OF gold
In tue hold, and the baskettuls OF dia-
monds and jewels in the cabin. Great
wus tho disappointment, however, Tor
the only metal found on tho island was
iron, in the shape OF an old fashioned
rusty cutlass. The expedition was got
ten up by one Williams, to whom the
secret and location OF the treasure OF
banl OF pirates upon Cosos island had
been revealed. As isusual in such ca5es,
tho man who told Williams was the
sole survivor, tho rest oil the crew having
shot and stabbed each other, and becn
burned to death in their vessel, or been
eaten mp by sharks. The Roscoe started
on the twenty.third OF April last, and
enjoyed pleasant run down to the
island, tho trip taking thirty. ono days.
Tho vessel lay of the island for seven.
teen days, one man being in charge, and
the others numb oering seven, digging un.
der tho direction Of Mr.. Williams for
tho treasure. Traces Of mans previous
presence on The spot wore discovered in
tho shape Of the sword mentioned, and
somo fragments Of bottles. Laborious
al arch, however, revca cd no Mexican
dollars, TASKS Of quicksilver or royal
jewels, and the party calao to tho con.
ctusion that land slide had covered the
spot, and returned to this city with the
intention OF getting up q larger party
and more funds to Try their luck again.

A Seed That Puriiles Wafer.

In India, says n writer, where it is
often quite impossible to obtain good
water, there is q kind Of provision Of
Providence for the purifying of impure
md muddy water which is we'll worthy
Of notice. Wercit in America, it might
be called an Constitution" SO common is
its use. It is a seed which, on being
rubbed again and again on the inside Of
tho common earthern waterpots OF the
country, has tho power OF precipitating
the earth and impurities, leaving the
water tolerably clear and in degree
tnitable for use. During our itineracy
Of two weeks we have had occasion nj.
most constantly to uso the very repui-
sivo looking tank water OF the country
thus purified. At only one Of our en-.
campments have we hRd well water, and
then the natives much preferred the
common surface or tank wnter to this.
Habit, usage and custom arc almost ON
nipotont in India, aud many years must
piLss before Hiudoos will learn that their
purifying seed does not remove the poi

and troublesome Guinen worm, so often

Crime In ireland.

Tho London Times speaks bitterly OF
tho revival Of agrarian crime in ireland,
(which might almost mako tho frmest
believers in tho healing influences Of
Justice and equal laws despair OF their
labors iu the cause OF peace and good
will" The occasion OF this indignation
was thu murder OF Mr.. Bridge, the
agent Of an Euglish gentleman who owns
largo estates in the county Of Cork.
Some time ago Mr.. Bridge was fred at
BY one Ryan, who escaped, in conse-
qlence OF which the agent obtained the
protection OF q detachment Of the police,
two Of whom accompanied him on his
business Journeys. On the thirtieth OF
March last Mr.. Bridge was travelling on
jauuting car with two armed police
met, a balifT, and the driver. A
blunderbuss, loaded with sings, was
fred at the, party from behind q hedge,
killing tue driver and wounding the
agout, who kept ono Thomas Grower in
sight until tho police seized him. His
coniederato escaped. A conviction OF
Grower as q participator in the crime
was only obtained by tho extreme ex-
peiicnt OF challenging ffty.two names
upon the panel on the part Of the crown.
The people around the scene of crime
unanimously closed their eyes and cars |;
some witnesses thought magpies had
becn fired at; others thought the firing
was music" Two women refused TO
takc CHARGE OF the drivers corpse and
A third who did SO lost her place week
after, and was refused lodgings In
Mitchelstown. "Wo had hoped" says
the Times, "that II the land act Of 1870
had failed to nppease d discomfort which
had become chronic, it had ut least sup
pressed tho provocations and tho out
breaks OF agrarian vindictiveness which
were so long o disgrace both TO the poo
pie aud to the rulers OF Ireland" 90.
