Results of Jenner's Discovery.

When the beneficent results of Dr. Jenner's discovery are contemplated, indeed, a feeling of wonder arises at the perversity which can ignore all the cumulative evidence of the prophylactic virtues of vaccination. Before it was introduced the ravages of smallpox were so terrible that in the Seventeenth cen tury it was difficult to find, in London, per- son unmarked by the disease. Of those who were attacked by 1t, a fearfully large per centage died, while the convalescents bore the scars to their graves. It then killed white men as quickly in later days it has killed Indians. Vaccination has unquestionably drawn the poisonous fangs of the disease Today smallpox, even in its most virulent forms, is never the scourge It was formerly, and ordinary attacks are as easily treated as measles. Vaccination has been proved in the most conclusive way, and, by the longest and most extended trial, to be an invaluable pro phylactic. It may be said that it has practi- cally put an end to the epidemic form of variola, and to call it an ''infiiction" is about as irrational as to denounce life and fire in surance or the use of anasthetics-New York Tribune.

The Real St. Bernard Dog.

Before saw one I always imagined the St. Bernard to be as large as a lion and strong as bull. The picture of my youthful geography had made these impressions When dog that supposed to be an over grown setter was pointed out as one of the celebrated Alpine breed, my cherished imag- inative structures went clattering to the ground. Many time had l in my early boyhood on winters night, when it was showing hard outside, sat before cheerful fire and thought that was the kind of weather when the sagacious St. Bernard patrolled the mountain passes on the lookout for storm bound travellers. When some poor wretch half perishing in the snow was found his freezing blood would be thawed by the dogs warm body and the brandy flask so conve- niently attached to the collar. After regain ing strength l supposed the traveller would mount the dogs back and the animal trot off With him to the monastery. But it was plain that this St. Bernard (he was crack, tool, had he been large enough to carry man, could not trot; he was entirely too straight in the stifes. It is doubtful if he could have even walked fast enough to keep himself from freezing to death on 8 real cold night Forest and Stream

In the West Point Cemetery.

Most famous people inferred in the West Point cemetery have we'll marked graves, and not q few have elaborate memorials. Gen. Winfield Scott lies here. His monument is a rough granite cenotaph that lies flat upon the ground and is surrounded by an iron rail ing that ought to be removed, or, better yet ought never to have been placed here The inscription covers the entire north side of the huge cenotaph, and recounts the services of the old warrior, concluding with the observa- tion that laudatory inscription is unneces- sary, because the deeds of Scott are engraven upon the memories of mankind.
 Beneath a cenotaph almost exactly like that of Gen. Scott's lie the remains of Col Anderson, who commanded at Fort Sumter when it was first fired upon. Col. Anderson lived until some years after the close of the war, dying at last ill Italy, from whence his remains were brought to West Point for in terment The cenotaph is just across the walk from that over Gen. Scott.
 Nearly in the center of the plot is inferred the body of George A. Custer. His monu- ment is huge block of rough granite, a dozen or so feet in height. The top is per fectly plain, but upon the sides are four bronze medallions, circular in shape, and bearing appropriate inscriptions. Two of them recount his family history and the tragic manner of Clusters death in the battle of Little Big Horn, and the other two are symbolic, buffalo heads, Indian arrows and maize being prominent
 Other famous soldiers inferred here are Gen. Audenreid, Gen. Judson Fitzpatrick and Col Thayer, the latter the father of the academy, as he is affectionately referred to, and whose life size statue stands at the south east corner of the infantry plain and imme- diately in front of cadet barracks. It is the custom to bury cadets when they die in the institution in the pretty cemetery here and to give them full military honors This is invariably done unless the family of the de ceased cadet requests otherwise. The latter is rare, and as a consequence a large part of the cemetery is given up to students. These graves are generally marked in modest manner by small stones erected by class mates Of the deat, cadet. It is said here that, following the custom set by Gen. Winfield Scott, WHO asked to be inferred here future generals of the army are to lie here.-West Point Cor. Philadelphia Times.
