fore making his work public. Knowing
that he would meet with criticism and
ridicule, he wished to fortify himself
at every point In the spring of 1898
he prepared the manuscript for his
pamphlet, which was published in June,
1898. AS he had expected, he became
target for all sorts of abuse and malice,
especially in England. The medical
men of the continent were as a rule more
scientific than those in England at that
time, and there the pamphlet was treat
ed with more consideration: for scien-
tif1c men are not prone to reject what Is
new without fair tests. In England,
again, many medical men condemned
vaccination after giving it unfair trials
aud refusing to follow his directions.
The first copy of Jenner's pamphlet
that came to America fell into the hands
of Prof. Waterhouse, of Cambridge.
Struck with the value of the discovery,
should it be all that was claimed for 1T,
he wrote an account of it for the Column
bian Sentinel of March 2, 1909, and
brought it before the American Acad-
emy of Arts and Sciences, of which John
Adams was president. Waterhouse sent
to England for vaccine virus, and vac
cinated seven of his own children, six
successfully. Then, like Jcnner, he
inoculated them with smallpox, but this
did not take. That was the beginning
of vaccination in America. In 1901 DIR.
Waterhouse got some new virus and in
structions from Jenner, and sent some
to Thomas Jefferson, who was then
president of the United States. Jeffcr-
son Immediately vaccinated nearly 200
persons in the families of his sons-in-
law and neighbors. and his success in
creased the popularity of vaccination in
America.
For four years after the publication
of his pamphlet, Jenner gave practi-
cally all of his time to vaccination, and
most of it gratuitously, and in addition
spending several thousand dollars a
year in the work. Parliament was petit
toned to compensate him for his
great work, and after q debate he
was voted q miserable 6 10000, much
less than he could have made in private
practice, had he accepted the invita-
tions to go to London. Several years
afterwards, the facts being again
brought before parliament, he was
voted an additional 10000.
In one way or another Jenncr was

a Subject That should Be Studied by

As a foundation principle, says Prof
Morrow, we want to use for the sire anc
dam hogs that have those characters
tics we desire and have those fixed by
good breeding. 1t is in accordance with
the best practice and with the best
theory that, given reasonable purity OF
breeding, it is more important to have
an additional merit in the sire and dam
than in the more remote ancestry, and
so, in descending scale, as we go back
1t we will bear in mind that in goine
back only ten generations, we are eack

women in our veins, if there have beer

in breeding when we insist upon get

coarser than the female.
There may wisely be a distinction
made in the practice of the professional
breeder and the common breeder who is
raising hogs, not for breeding purposes,
but to be sold in the market. Let the
first, as far as possible, breed from ma
ture stock. Let him see that his hogs
get good deal of exercise. Prof. Nor
row has no faith whatever in the wis
dom of the practice of combining any
animal designed for breeding purposes
without exercise, summer or winter.
On the other hand he would not have
the farmer who breeds hogs for thu
general market be overly careful. 1t
will not do to say that it is wise for him
to breed only from mature animals. He
will not do it, and as rule he would
make less money if he did. If he will
renew his stock from the skillful pro-
fessional breeder he will make more
money by breeding from comparatively
young animals, and as soon as may be
turning off the dams for pork, than he
will by following the practice so impor-
tant to the professional breeder. 1t will

Stories of Abraham Lincoln in Early
Life.
In the summer OF the year 1880
Abraham Lincoln exercised the right OF
majority and started out to shift for
himself. When he left his home to
start life for himself he went empty
handed. He was already some months
over 21 years of age, but he had moth
ing in the world, not even a suit of
respectable clothes; and one of the first
pieces of work he did was ito split 400
rails for every yard of brown jeans
dyed with white walnut bark that
would be necessary to make him a pair
Of trousers" He had no trade, no pro-
fession, no spot of land, no patron, no
influence. Two things recommended
him to his neighbors-he was strong
and he was good fellow.
His strength made him a valuable
laborer. Not that he was fond of hard
labor. Mrs. Crawford says: "Abe was
no hand to pitch into work like killing
snakes but when he did work it was
with an ease and effectiveness which
compensated his employer for the time
he spent in practical jokes and extern
poraneous speeches. He would lift as
much as three ordinary men, and my,
how he would chopi" says Dennis
Hanks His ak would flash and bite
into a sugar tree or sycamore, and
down it would come. If you heard him
fellin' trees in q clearin' you would
say there was three men at work by
the way the trees fell" Standing six
feet four, he could outfit, outwork and
outwreStle any man he came in contact
with. Friends and employers Were
proud of his strength, and bcasted OF
it, never failing to pit him against any
hero whose strength they heard vaunt-
ed. He himself was proud of 1T, and
throughout his life was fond of compar.
ing himself with tall and strong men.
He drove the oxen on the removal
of the Lincoln family from Indiana to
Illinois, he tells US, and, according to
a story current in Gentryyiile, he sue.

ana, says that before leaving the state
Abraham invested all his money, some
thirty odd dollars, in notions. "a set
of knives and forks was the largest
item entered on the BILL" says Mr..
Jones; ''the other items were needles,
pins, thread, buttons and other little
domestic necessities. When the Lin,
coins reached their new home near De-
catur, Ill. Abraham wrote back to my
father, stating that he had doubled
his money on lis purchases by selling
them along the road. Mag

and potentates of almost every civ
ilized country. Diplomas and hon.
ors of learned bodies were show
cred upon him, and medals were
struck in his honor. In England, on
the continent and in America the clergy
prayed for him and preached the gospel
of vaccination. His pamphlet was
translated into almost every European
and Asiatic language. The Spanish
government, then more civilized and
wide-awake than at present, fitted out
an expedition that carried vaccinators
and vaccine virus to all the Spanish
possessions in the new world. So
greatly was Jenner honored that dur
ing the war between France and Eng
land his personal passport to an Eng
lishn1an travelling for his health was
honored by Napoleon on many occa-
SioDS.
Bitterly as Jenner and his discovery
were fought during the first 25 years of
vaccination, nothing could succeed
against the figures showing the decline
of smallpox year by year after 179S,
when the discovery was made known.
In some countries in which the annual
number of deaths from smallpox had
been thousands, it fell to tens, often to
less than fifty.
The mere saving of lives and of days
of illness does not appeal to some men;
but the saving of wealth touches pop
ular chord. During the first four years
of vaccination the saving Of life and
days of illness resulted in England alone
in saving of wealth to the amount OF
6 500. 900, from vaccination alone. Maxi
ing no allowance for increase OF popuIa-
ton, and taking no account of the great
er risk due to more rapid transportation
and closer intercommunication, the
wealth saved in England alone by vac
cination during the century OF vaccina-
ton amounts to So,UOo, 900. The
amount is of course much greater, as
will be seen by the fact that the cholera
epidemic of 1Ss4-S7 cost southern Eu-
rope 10000 lives and more than $780,
600, 900; and smallpox without vaccina-
ton would be a worse disease than chol.
era, far worse than yellow fever.
