Tn these smallpox times the small boy 4s alive to all the terrors and humors of the situation. He sees more yellow flags about town than anybody. He knows of more sick Chinamen than dozen Boards of Health. He sees men with badly blotched faces slipping about in ths shades of evening. He studies with in- terest the bulbous nose of the old soakor leaning against an awning post every where hs finds symptoms of the dread disease.
 In his mind, vaccination has taken the place lately occupied bT kite-hying. mar bles and base ball. Take three or four small boys who have passed through the ordeal of vaccination and let them get hold of the small boy who has yet to un- !dergo that trial.
