And the Handsome Young Doctor
Couldn't yaccinste Them.
Philadelphia Record.
Madenly modesty aud female vanity
have had a sharp struggle among the
young ladies in this city, and especially at
the fashionable schools since the smallpox
scare began. The young women dread the
disease, which, even il not fatal, might
prove deadly to their physical charms, and
vaccination was, therefore, welcomed by
all. Hut the difficulty was that
few of the young ladies, with
visions of receptions next winter
before them, when they would appear in
low. cut corsage and sleeveless bodices,
cared to have the disfguring marks placed
upon their arms In consequence there
has been great demand, especially at the
fashionable boarding schools in this city,
for elderly physicians 10 whose care the
young ladies could submit themselves for
vaccination.
As they would not be vaccinated upon
the arm, and they did not care to have the
pimple upon the end of the nose, II has
generally been decided by the fashionable
female to have the delicate operation per.
formed upon the calf Of the leg. This
required the services Of the elder
ly practitioners. as the ladies were
10th to submit to the gszs of the
youthful doctors. A lady who manages
fashionable boarding school near Broad
and Locust streets last week determined
TO have all the young ladies under her
charge vacinated. Those who were board
ers at the school were to be vacinated by
the physician, an elderly and well-known
practitioner, wh) has usually been called In
TO attend such ills as schools fiirls are he'll
to. The young ladies all protested agains,
the marking Of their arms, and il was de-
termined, after solemn conference, that
each one should hs vaoinated upon the cali
OF tine leg. This was entirel satis.
factory until the day appointed for the
operation. Instead Of coming himself the
doctor sent bis assistant, very young mar
with blonde moustache, whom the giIli
declared looked 'just too sweet" There
was hurried consultation of the ladies'
'Never!" ''I'll take the smallpox first.
HE shall not vsccinate mem Such wer,
the ordinations Of the girls, The youn,
doctor wss compelled to retire, and thu
kindly old gentleman, who is his preceptor
was sent for. The girls then submitted
without murmur.
A well-known physician said yesterday
II doubt if there is o woman above Is II
the city who will submit to vaccination
on the arm. That, of course, Is natural
and is feminine"

PLAIN ENGLISH.

From time to time the complaint IS
made that the young men who come out
of colleges do not know how TO write
good English-that is, plain English
They are well educated in q certain sense,
but when they attempt to write business
letters or newspaper articles they are
unable TO say what they mean, Unable to
write clearly, directly, aptly and con-
cisely.
The st. Louis GlOJe-DemOerat gives some
excellent advice to young scribblers, when
it says that the writers who come to the
front 10 this age are those who write
simply. Good English is plain English.
The best style is one that Is straightfor-
ward taking short cuts and airline routes.
We have outgrown the cumbrous phrase
ology of ADDISON and the inflated POM
pOsity of JOHNSON. The English Of to-
day, IS the Globe Democrat says, is to be
found in our best living authors and in our
newspapers. Our young people should
read the literature of the day, not for facts
and ideas alone, but in order to learn the
construction OF sentences. Nor Is this
enough. Children must be instructed in
the art of writing at an early age. There
is no reason why boy twelve years old
should not bs able to express himself
dramatically in good English. But be
must be taught to think, and to speak in
complete sentences, instead of using
tumble of words which convey only half his
meaning.
The matter issn important one. Ayoung
man may get along in the world with a
very small stock of knowledge if hs know
how to make the best of his intellectual
capital. If no can seizs and grasp new
facts and ideas and communicate them to
Others in clear, forcible and attractive
style, he will make his way. Such men
are needed in all lines of business, and the
newspapers are ready to give employment
to thousands Of them. The worlds bust
ness is transacted through the medium Of
written aud spoken language, and it is of
the highest importance that our takers
and writers should be able to say just
what they mean without laundering
through mire of words, and to say il in
a way that win command attention.

Donble Murder I'm Logan County.

Special Correspondence otthS Sunday REGISTER.
LOGAN c. H W. VA, May 25.-News
has Just reached this place from Bear creek,
in the Upper Sandy region in this county,
that H. c. Simpkins was shot and killed
on last Saturday, near the residence of
Squire A. NJ. Toler, by one Thos. Cline,
and that Cline was found on the same
evening in the woods about two hundred
yards away from where Simpkins was
killed, dead and stiff.
It appears that Cline's wife sued out q
warrant from Squire Toler for his arrest,
on charge of whipping her aud that on
Saturday Cline came to Toler's house after
his wife and refused to surrender to the
authorities, whereupon Toler began shoot
ing at him and Cline returned the fire and
started to run. Simpkins came out ofth g
house, took Toler's gun and followed Cline
to the woods, and when about three hun
dred yards from the house was killed by
Cline. Cline was not found until several
hours afterwards, and whether he was shot
by Simpkins in the engagement, shot acci-
dentally by himself or by some of the party
who went to hunt him, is q matter OF con-
lecture When found he had his coat and
boots of, and bis gun was lying near him,
with the muzzle pointed toward him.

Lsprosy Through Vaccination.


The British Medical Journal reports a
case of leprosy which is believed to have
been contracted through vaccination. A
physician living in the tropics vaccinated
his own son with virus obtained from q
native child in whose family leprosy ex-
listed. At the time the virus was taken,
the child gave no evidence of being sffect-
ed with the disease, although subsequently,
it manifested itself in him. A third child
was vaccinated by the physician with
virus taken from his own SOD. Subse-
quently the son developed leprosy in mild
form; but the child who was vsccinsted
with virus taken from him had the disease
in a most severe form, and died from it.
The physicians son is now attending
school in England, eminent physicians
having given the opinion that there is no
danger that the other students will con-
tract the disease.

A THEORY OF FLOODS.

The disastrous food that has just swept
through the Mississippi Valley may not
have been the greatest one on record, but
there is nothing in this superstition to al
ford any comfort to those who have lost
everything by the present visitation.
In various parts of the country for many
years past, the floods and the losses caused
by them have been steadily increasing. Of
course explanations have been offered, but
nearly all OF them fail 10 satisfactorily &C
count for the augmented violence Of the
angry waters.
Perhaps the favorite theory is the one
which ascribes this threatening state Of az
fairs to the Wholesale destruction Of our
timber supply. 1t is well known that
when the slopes of water courses are thickly
wooded, the shade of the trees is favorable
to the growth of moss, and the ground Ia
covered with thick layers of dead leaves.
When heavy rains fall it takes time for the
water to penetrate through all this cover
ing, and it finds its way gently and by
slow degrees to the streams and rivers. 1t
is so with the deep SHOWS of the north and
west when they melt in the spring. There
is no immense volume of water turned
loose all at once to. rush unimpeded to
the sea. With the disappear
ance of the forests, however,
all this is changed. The leaves and moss
no longer cover the bleak hillsides, and
every shower, or deluge or snow thaw
pluDges headlong with q mad fury down
the slopes of the valleys until the streams
and rivers, unable TO carry of such ire
mendous volume, overflow their banks,
and millions Of cultivated acres are sub
merged.
Scientists and close observers declare
that the evil is growing worse, and the
next generation will find the situation I'M
endurable, if we continue stripping the
hillsides of their trees. When these i'll
fated days come TO pass cloud bursts will
send raging torrents torrents through vii
lagos and cities, tearing them from their
foundations. The ingenuity of man will
be unable to build system Of leyees that
will keep the Mississippi and and other
great rivers within bounds. The fate Of
Lost Island" may also be the fate Of New
Orleans.
1t is frightful to follow this theory TO its
necessary conclusions, but it is our duty to
do it, ard when the proper remedy is
found, to apply it without delay. The
scientists say that the remedy is refores;ry.
Fortunately, it will do no harm, but will
be of great benefit to the country, to try
it. There is no answer to make to the ar
guments of the advocates Of forestry. We
are likely TO need all the timber that can
be planted, and if planting will free US in
some measure from the terrorso Of the floods,
so much the better.

FRENCH POLITICS

Minister MCLANE has made some inter
esting remarks to New York reporter on
the position of political affairs in France,
What he had to say was of course tempered
by the reserve which diplOmstist natur-
ally finds it convenient to maintain, bat
one or two Of his guarded statements Of
facts were nevertheless highly significant.
Mr. MCLANE called special attention TO
the municipal elections in France, which
he thought were not likely to receive the
attention in this country which their real
importance demanded. He pointed out
that there were $1,000 of these "eOm-
munes" or townships, aud that the results,
which may fairly be taken as q very good
indication Of public opinion, were very IA
yorable to the Republicans. As to the
chance Of the present political disturb
ances ending in civil war Mr.. McLANE ex-
pressed himself with great pOsitiysness
He said:
There is no likelihood Of anything of the
kind occurring. The French people do
not want it. Contrary to belief which
may be more or less general, they are not
constantly itching for internal dissensions
NY experience clearly shows me that they
are o sober, economical and intelligent
people, and they enjoy the operation Of
universal suffsage and free institutions
quite as much rs we do. Moreover, there
is every prospect Of the peoples happiness
and prosperity in the futile, the mAinten-
ance Of peace being the almost universal
desire Of tho mass Of the Ffench people

An overstrained Civilization.
Electrical World.

The Earl of Roseberry, speaking before
the International Shorthand Congress, de-
scribed the telegraph, the telephone, the
postal card and shorthand as nothing but
the signals of distress of an oyerstrained
civilization. This isan odd way Of stating
it, and would have been clearer had he re-
fsrred more specifically to the oyerstrained
operator. Still, life seems very short and
art or industry very long in big country
such ~ this, with scant population and
nearly all its mineral resources undeyslop-
ed; and TO make the most of time one must
perforcs employ these signals Of distress. /"
Altar all, these conveniences are all in the
direction of relief, and will in time be sup
plemsnted by many other methods of saw
ing hands, brains and hours.

Bo2oR Budget.

The use of the mosquito has been at last
discovered. Professor Webster says that
injurious organic matter in the water, in.
stead of deeomposinR and poisoning people,
is changed into 'wiggle-tails,' which, in
due time become mosquitoes, and the
winged matter flies away, leaving the
water purified to the extent of their abili-
to remove the impurities. If fish are kept
in the water they eat the 'wiggle-tails,
and grow large enough to serve as food for
man. Thus the poisonous ingredient Of
impure water becomes healthful food.
Without mosquitoes most marshy or
swampy land would be dangerously insa-
lubrious.
