The Inteliigencer knows a great deal

Indictment for riot for the very good

the virus is good. In all these tests,
however, results are checked" against
standards of known effect. Should any
lot of virus produce many failures or
give rise to bad results the whole is re-
jected and sent back to the factory.
An entirely new kind of vaccine
points" is being used in Chicago now.
The old bone slips dipped in virus are
obsolete, except as employed in private
practice. The evils of the old sort were
that the virus was always exposed to
the air, that dangerous germs of all
kinds collected on the points and that
the virus was almost always weak and
uncertain in it's action. Frequently the
use of these points caused mild blood
poisoning and other distinct diseases,
and they often made fearfully sore
arms, assesses and fevers.
The new points are different. They
are made of glass, drawn in flame,
filed with liquid virus as soon as the
glass tubes are cool enough and her
medically sealed by melting the tips Of
the glass. The virus in these tubes
is mixed with glycerine, which pre-
vents decay and stops the development
of any foreign germs, so that if the
points are kept cool and in the dark
they win keep active and perfect for a
long time.
When a vaccination is to be per-
formed the doctor takes one of these
sealed glass points, cleans it with an

" has been noted that the first set
tiers in heavily-wooded sections of the
country have generally been healthy,
despite their many privations. The
reason for this is, says Halls Journal of
Health, that trees and plants of all
kinds possess the power of absorbing
poisoned air from decaying vegetation,
besides which the emanations from
evergreens and the smoke from burn
ing resinous woods are noted for the re-
lief they give to those suffering from
pulmonary diseases
New, heavily-wooded countries, az
already noted, are the most healthy
for settlers, and they cont nue. so for

complaint. In view of these facts,
people are beginning to understand the
value of trees as Dis ".se-absorbing and
health-giving agents Naturally this
leads to the question as to what trees
arc best for protection against disease.
On Lone Island and in New Jersey
there are localities surrounded and
hcnrlcd in with pitch pines which arc
faiaed for their curative qualities in
consumption, and the pines arc thus
indicated as valuable surroundings in
pulmonary complaints. 1t would seem
reasonable to suppose that trees having
the largest leaves and the most of them
would be the best for this purpose, as
such trees would undoubtedly have the
most absorbing power. We have seer.

An Instance of "Nearness" That Is Hard

An Instance of "Nearness" That Is Hard
The close-fisted and the absent-mind-
ed serve similar use-they amuse
their neighbors. The New York Sun
quotes man from the rural districts
as telling story Of Mr.. Putterby, an
old-time townsman of his, whose repu-
tation for "nearness" was evidently
well deserved. Locally he was thought
to be almost a prodigy in this respect,
but no story of this kind is so good but
that another can be found to beat it.
One of the coins current in those
days was the old Spanish silver-piece,
which passed for twelve and a half
cents, and was variously called "nine-
pence" york shilling" and ''bit." 1t
was the existence of this coin that en-
abled Mr.. Putterby to achieve his
browning triumph in the way of close
trade. tiiG,,. 5ts3 0rt
A farm-boy came along one day with
load of pumpkins, which he was ped
ding about the village at cent
apiece. Mr.. Putterby looked at them,
concluded to buy, but wanted only
half pumpkin.
But a whole one is only cent
said the boy. 'How are you going to
pay me for half one?"" as
Easiest thing in the world" said
Mr.. Putterby.
The pumpkin was cut, he took one
half under his arm, and handed the boy
a shilling.
"Now give me the twelve cents
change" he said; and taking the
twelve coppers from the astonished
boy, he walked away with his pur
chase.

VIRUS in GLASS BULBS.
New Method Of Vaccination Prnc-
ticed In Chicago.
Health Oflcers Introduce Process That
Does Away with .Poiuts"- How tho
TestsSAre Made and the Pre-
ventive Applied.

Chicago is in the eyes of the medical
world just now; for that city is giving
science its first accurate knowledge of
vaccination as a distinct department OF
research and observation.
Before the days of Assistant Health
Commissioner Frank w. Reilly and
Chief Medical Inspector 3. CARROT, Of
the Chicago department, an idea pre-
vailed generally that vaccination was a
trivial natter--to be done by anybody,
anywhere, anyhow and with any kind
of bovine or human vaccine virus ALL
this is changed now, states the Chicago
Record. At i3g
The theory of Drs. Carrot and Reilly
is that vaccination is important enough
to engage the attention and enlist the
learning of the ablest practitioners.
They cry out against the idea that any
body can inoculate patient as well as
the physician.
At the present time the medical
heads Of the health department are
making exhaustive studies of the sub
ject and are compiling statistics which
they expect will become authoritative
throughout the world in the matter of
smallpox prevention. w
Every grain of vaccine matter used
by the department is subjected to tests
as severe as can be devised. First,
are sent to DIR. Gehrman, the
chemist and bacteriologist of the de-
partment. He makes ''culture"-that
is to say, he sees how many kinds of
germs he can raise from the sample of
virus Then he puts the bacilli under
his microscope to see whether any of
them are the agents of erysipelas, of
pus formation or of septic diseases
blood poisoning and the like. If he
finds the virus to be free from these
dangerous germs he sends back re-
port 20. X" DIR. CARROT then takes
samples of the same lot and vaccinates
a dozen persons needing smallpox pro-
lection. If the virus takes" in ma
jority of the cases and if the sores pro-
duced are typical" without improper
symptoms, such as mattery discharges
