The preparation used TO produce what
we call vaccination" is known among
medical men as vaccine virus, to produce
which it is necessary to go through a sur
gical operation, the subject being a young
COW or even calf After scarifying the
belly Of the animal (the parts having pre-
viously been shaved) the wound is inocu-
lated with virus from an animal already
in use A sore is thus formed without
lasting injury to the beast, and after a
week or ten days thin vaccid matter be
gins to flow from the abrasion. This pus
or matter is the vaccine virus Of commerce
Goose quilts which have been scraped
with knife until they present a rough ex-
terror are rubbed in this virus The virus
from one abrasion is sufficient to coat 10,
600 quilts, which, after being so prepared,
are technically called points These
points when ready for shipment, look very
much like ordinary goose quilts, the virus
coating not being visible to the naked eye

thing that the man who works hard with

whereas the man who hasn't anything par

Whatever may be said in regard TO train

that memory is not, as used to be sup
posed, an independent facultyof the mind
that in some Mysterious way may be direct
ly strengthened 10y exercise, as the black
smith strengthens his arm, but that mem
DRY as retantive is due to the Elasticity of
nerve substance and 10 the property Of
nerve couters by which they retain in

that recollection depends upon physiOlog
ical conditions such as the cerebral circula-
ton and the proper functioning Of nerve
cells; moreover, that a complete act of rec
objection is complex process involving
comparison, inference, and the like.
Hence, whatever in general is conducive
to vigorous health, and whatever tends to
habits Of clear and orderly thinking, such
conditions will aid recollection. And what
ever is detrimental to the normal function
ing Of the nerve cells-fatigue intense
emotion or the like-and whatever blinds

An Easy Way of Hurrying the Fire.

IF fire does not burn well, " says the
old household superstition, "and you want
it to draw, you should set the poker across
the top bar Of the CRATE" This is sup
posed to placate the gnomes, whom it was
formerly believed were very jealous Of the
robbery of their underground country of
its coal treasures, and were very apt to
take their vengeance out in preventing the
fire from burning. 1t was the mystic form
of the cross thus made which was supposed
to drive them away. Nevertheless it
would not do to use the shovel in this
charm, or the fire would be sure to go out.
1t would be possibly happy thing if all
housekeepers who fail to make their fires
burn could attribute it to the witches of
the chimney, to the gnomes OF the lower
world, or TO some household fairy who had
cast a spell over the house But there are
no gnomes, fairies or witches now to inter
fere with the fire-if only the hampers are
right and some judgment exercised.-New
York Tribune.

A Oh inese Crowd.

At any spot a Chinese crowd is interesting,

There came like Hghtning's cleaning
This happy thought to me:
Altho' hike angels up in heaven

Yet like an angel on the earth
My Father would have me.
So, kneeling in the sunlight,
Among the flowers and birds,
Out through the forests stiffness
There went to God these words;
"Oh. Father, if / am too brown
To dwell with angels fair,
Yet let me be one on the earth,
And serve thee everywhere;
And make me live long, long time,

"They brought him to the hospital, and
he was unconscious for a long time. When

that one of the men in the wrecking gang
