A Few Facts Showing the beneficial Ell
fects Of Vaccination for Smallpox.
While the deaths from smallpox last
year throughout the entire German EN-
pire averaged one or two a week, and
never exceeded four, there died in
Prague, a city of about 270,000 inhabi-
tants, no fewer than 1928 persons be-
tween January and June, besides 400 in
the last four months of 1883. Between
October 1, 1888, and March 81, 1884,
56 cases nearly all children under five
years of age, were admitted into the
Polytechnic Hospital wards. under DIR.
Ganghofner. Of these SO were unvacci-
mated and vaccinated, of the latter,
however, not until after infection. OF
the 50 unvaccinated IL (21 per cent.
died; of the vaccinated none. There is
a strong local prejudice against vaccina-
ton. with which several medical men,
we regret to say. sympathize. Buenos
Ayres is a city of about the same size
namely, 287 900 inhabitants; and vacci-
nation is not compulsory, and is unpop-
ular. While the births in 1888 were close
on 1000, the total number of vaccina-
tons and presentations was 8,643 The
deaths from all causes were SPAS, or 20
per LOCO, and those from smallpox
l,4S7, or per 1000 of the population,
and IL per cent, or nearly one in five,
OF the total deaths. In Prussia the
mortality since 1875 has been from O.34
to 1862 per 100,0 yearly; in Austria,
5.57 to 50.S3. In Berlin, in 1882, it was
O.43, and in Vienna los. 90 per 100. 900.

How This Exquisite English Ballad Came

How This Exquisite English Ballad Came
| to BE Written.
This exquisite ballad was written by
Lady Anne Lindsay, daughter of the
hfth Earl of Balcarres. She was born
ON November 9th, 1850, and at the
early age of twenty-one produced the
ballad which Sir Walter Scott says sis
worth all the dialogues which Corydon
and Phyllis have had together, from
the days of Theocritus downward. In
1898 Lady A. Lindsay married Mr.. An.
drew Barnard, son of the Bishop of
Limerick, with whom she went out to
the Cape. on his appointment as CO..
onial Secretary under Lord Macartney.
Mr.. Barnard dying at the Cape,
his widow returned to London,
where she enjoyed the friendship
of Burke. Windham, and others,
until her death, which occurred in the
year 1925. 1t was not until she was in
her seventy-third year that Lady Bar
nard made known the secret of the
authorship of this ballad. An amusing
story is told in connection with its pro-
duction. On Lord Bahcarres' estate
was shepherd of the name of Robin
Gray, and for some act of his Lady
Anne resolved to immortalize his men,
DRY. Upon her little sister entering
her room one day, Lady Anne said: Il
have been writing a ballad, my dear;
and am depressing my heroine with

sick and given her auld Robin Gray for
