A Transaction Tn Counts.

The Goulds have never been able to make themselves entirely at home in the society of the Four Hundred, and if report be true, it was not until Papa Gould had severely punished several naughty members of the swell set that the rest of them took the hint and made place for the Gould family. NJ iss Anna Gould, however, will never need to trouble herself more about the social sights of New York $ snobocracy. Shc has bought herself il count-a live count with pedigree running back to the time when pedigrees were first invented. Plain common. sense people will not be able to see how this little transaction in counts makes the daughter of Jay Gould any better than she was be. fore. Buying a count is as easy as buying a monkey when one has tine money to do it. Miss Gould simply went to tine bargain count CT, and true to the frugal instincts of the family, picked out a cheap but gaudy article, had 1t wrapped mp and went off with it. But sim pie and commonplace as the transaction seems, it will lift the daughter of the rich pIebeian to q social eminence from which none may cast her down. Without q drop of "blue blood" in her veins, with pedigree that gets lost in I ditch after it passes the father of the present generation, she is noue the less a .'countess'- that IS to say, the Wife Of count z We shall not undertake to explain just what q French count is. We may be sure that there is very little money in the business, or the matrimonial transaction under consideration would not have oc- cured. It is simply a name, a word, that means nothing and stands for nothing in particular, but which large number of peo- pie for some reason or other value very highly. While, therefore, the posSeSsors of these empty titles are usually ruined debau- chees or threadbare and penniless dead beats, it will not do to de- scribe them as worthless. A thing is worth what it will fetch, whether it be a count or poodle, and we have known fancy prices 10 be paid for both.-EX.

The farmers are general ly behind with their work, owing to the recent unfavorable weather but it will not be long until We shall hear the welcome song of the merry plowboy as he prepares the land for the coming crop. Log-rolling is the order of the day and they are unusually attractive this year as we have very few new-grounds there is generally more eating than log-rolling,
 The health of the community is generally very good. We are glad to note that Mr. W. c. Allen, who has been very sick recently, is improving.

 the 100000 of population from smallpox during the 90 years Pri- or to the introduction of preeen- tive inoculation for that diseas r, q perIod including the years III. 1906, averaged 14.046, and that during the 30 years following the first vaccinations in that city tie annual deaths from the same cause averaged but lS2. During the per- iod covered by the same dates the average annual death rate from smallpox in Berlin was 3,4i2 to thc 100000 in the first cycle of years and only l72 in the second.
 Tie Medical Record Tells IS that prior 10 the discovery of the utility of vaccine virus smallpox caused onc-tcnth of i'll the deaths which occurred 10 the human race. It even goes further and declares that ia Europe alone not less than 50,000,000 people died of the dread disease during the Eigh- teenth Century.
 What is the record to-day-only a century after the successful in- trodaetion of vaccination2 Statis- tics of 1894 show that in England out of each 10000 deaths only l30 are set down as having been caus- ed by smallpox, while whooping- cough is given the c edit of taking almost exactly twice that number, or 256 Tn France ont of each 10, 000 deaths 80 are attributed to smallpox and 1l5 to whoopIng- cough. In Germany, where com pulsory vaccination is throughly superintcnded by an eflicieat corps of physicians in every city, vil- lage and hamlet the showing is still more favorable, only eight deaths out of each 10000 being credited to the red pest. In every country Ill Europe, in fact, except Italy, whooping-cough kills twice the number of people annually that smallpox does. and all be- cause of preventive inocnlation for the latter disease, which was form erl J more dreai than the ehol- era or the Oriental or black" l plague.
 In Belgium the observations made by Drs. Titeca anu Dejace show that out of l07 cases of small. I poX among non-vaceinated and 6S among the vuccinated persons oi certain city So per cent. of the first class died or suffered from very serious forms of the disease lille ofl y II of the latter cases were of q grave nature, and none died. Dr. Barry has tabulated some valuable statistics on the outbreak ot the smallpox epidemic at Sheffield, England, in I887.88. This table shows that among ey. cry 1000 unvaccinatcd children i'll he city there were l0l cases and II deaths, while there were fonlY ' five cases in every 100 vac einatcd, and that the deaths only amounted 10 one in each 1000 so i protected in the whole district.
 Ii facts, figures and tables are ever to be of any use to mankind 1t certianly appears that the above argue in favor of vaccination.

HER DEEP REVENGE,

The woman who Is in no hurry lives
in New York as well as other places.
and Is always TO be met with at the
stamp window in the postoffice and at
the stations of the elevated roads. She
Is particularly trying at the latter plac-
es when there is a rush. At the Park
Place station one day during rush
hours a stately and slow-moving wo-
man got ahead OF a score of us and
handed in a s. bill to be changed for a
single ticket She of course hung on
to count her change TO the last penny.
while the number in the line constantly
increased and the trains rolled by. The
crowd stood 1t two minutes and then
began to shout.
why don't she move on?'
CLEAR the way there in frontw
rs that woman going to a funeral"'
She had dozen more coins to count
and she stayed right there and counted
em before she even looked up. AS she
;aised her head to survey the growing,
shouting crowd some one called out:
"Confound that woman, why don't
somebody buy her off?"
That settled It, Her eyes flashed
her jaw "sot," and she took a s. bill
from her purse and said to the ticket
seller:
please give me another ticket and
the change all in dimes and nickelsw
She got the ticket and the coins and
held us five minutes longer. and when
she finally moved on she carried th,
proud light of victory in her eyes and
felt that she had got even and more
too.-Detroit Freen Press.

NOT MUCH CHEAPER.
BICYCLES Have Reached Their Lowest
priees-Nesriy . Million Wheels Next

From the Commercial Gazette.
Owing to the fact that a notion has
gone abroad Of late that first-class
high-grade bicycle can be built and
sold at am excellent profit at a much
lower price than they are now selling
and that next year or year after. those
who wanted bicycles would be able Ia
buy one OF the above description at a
price anywhere from $25 to $40. a gen.
tleman who has had extensive expe-
rience In the manufacture OF the silent
steeds was interviewed concerning the
first cost Of bicycles. and the proba-
b!llties that they would be sold consid-
erably cheaper next year:
No" said he, 81 don't think you will
be able to buy flrst-class. high-grade
wheel much cheaper than they are now
sold. at leist for some years to come.
1t has been demonstrated In court thai
the parts OF a bicycle can be bought for
about SIS. maybe less. but that proves
nothing. To put those parts together
and make "A finished wheel takes about
six working days. Now. this mans
time Is worth at least 50 per day on an
average. for many bicycle workmen

course. get less with six days at 81
