The New Mode Of Vaccination.

The British Medical Association has
lately had under notice DR.. Moor's new
method of vaccination. His plan is to
make with perfectly clean sharp lancet,
five or six single scariications, holding
the lancet as pen is held, resting Sc
curely but gently on the arm of the per-
son operated on, which is held with the
left hand. Thus performed, the opera.
tion is said to occupy scarcely two Sec
onds, and when done lightly, but suffi
ciently, does not waken sleeping infant
nor cause child to cry, provided the at
tention be diverted by gently stroking
the arm. or otherwise engaging the atten-
ton. The lymph from the arm of an.
other child, preserved in tubes or on
points. is then gently rubbed with the
fiat of the lancet or charged points across
the little wound, which may be made by
slight traction of the adjacent skin. The
result Of this mode of operation is found
to be one or more, usually two, separate
vesicles or an oblong compound, one at
the site of each pair of scratches, and one
at the site of the single scratch. or more
if six were made in all, or if they we're
made longer than usual. It is neither
necessary nor desirable that the incisic ms
be made ct all deep.

When the Horn Blew

The following story of one of the poor
children sent into the country by the
New York City Fresh Air Fund is told
by the Plattsburg Telegram: lone of
the little girls was quartered with kind
family in Morrisonville. The little one
met one of her companions the day after
she arrived, and in giving an account of
her experience, said: The first thing
when we got there the horn blew and we
had breakfast. lots of good things to eat
Then we went ont to play, and before
long the horn blew again and we had q
nice dinner. We went out again after
dinner, and in little while the horn
blew again and we had supper. After
supper we went out to play again, and
pretty soon the horn blew again. We
went in apd the lady said it was eight
o'clock and time to go to bed; but before
we went she gave us bowl of splendid
bread and milk. WheA I went up stairs
I was just as sleepy as could be, and
wanted to go to to bed right away, but I
told them if that horn blew again to be
sure and wake me up.

just In Time.

Any day in summer one may meet
around the ferry dock an old lake captain
who was once crossing Saginaw Bay in
his schooner with such gale bowling
after him that no one expected the craft
to reach harbor. As the gale reached its
climax, the captain announced to the
mate beside him:
"Mr. Thomas. if we come safe out OF
this I am done with whisky"
The mate said it was the same with
him, and the captain presently contin
ued:
"And I'll never utter another oath.
The mate agreed to also stop swearing.
and this warmed up the old man te
promise:
"AndI solemnly declare, Mr.. Thomas,
that I'll leave off chewing and smoking. >
"There's another thing, captain, y
shouted the mate after awhile.
Whats that?"
"You might promise to leave off ~
ing"

De Long and Melville's Cigars.

The San Francisco Examiner says:
Just before the departure of the Rodg-
ers in search of the Jeanette number of
friends of De Long and Melville, among
them Major J. K. Duncan, of Vellejo,
were with several of the Rodgers officers
in the Occidental hotel saloon San Fran
cisco. Major Duncan bought two boxes
of fine cigars, and placing his card in
side each, directed one box to Lieut.. De
Lohg and the other to Engineer Melville
placing them in care of DIR. Jones, to be
delivered in case the Jeanette people
were found. After the burning of the
Rodgers it was found that both boxes
of cigars had been saved. When the
men ran out of tobacco in the native
villages, it was suggested to smoke the
cigars. but DIR. Jones insisted that they
should be saved aud they were brought
back on the Corwin. Major Duncan
now intends to forward both boxes with
brief history of their travels to Engin-
eer Melville, determined that after trav-
cling SO far and waiting so long for him
he shall at last enjoy them.

Ruined by Drinking Water.

A we'll known dentist called the atten-
tion of reporter to the effects of
Allegheny river water on the teeth of a
large portion of our citizens. He stated
that there were more persons afflicted
with white decay or crum bling teeth in
this vicinity than in any other city in
which he had practiced. The teeth of
those afflicted with this form of disease
were generally very while, and they
gradually crumbled into powder. He
attributed the great prevalence of white
decay to the absence OF limein the drink
ing water. People suffer from acidlty
of the system, and lime was the alkali
which would benefit them. In the east
ern portion OF Pennsylvania, or rather in
counties where the people drank hard"
water, they generally had hard and
