AMERICA EXCELLED.

In the summer of 1882, while a small
party of American tourists were being
shown about Chester Cathedral, by
special favor out of the usual hour, one
of them. admiring the antiquities of the
place, addressed to the kind clergyman
of the cathedral staff who was their
guide the regulation remark.

The estimate of Mark Twain as a Fea-
ture of America thus denoted was an
index of the position TO which, in the
regard OF very wide world, he had at
that time, and before that time, at
tanned. The same has long been wit
messed by similar signs Mozoorndar, of
country wished to meet him. 1t has been
the case for more than twenty years that
no parsonage, however eminent has ap-
peared anywhere in public on whatever
with whom Mark Twain, if in his COM
pany, did not divide the attention of the
crowd. During that period the list of
people of high distinction, in this and
in other lands statesmen, divines, au-
thors, artists, who have counted it for
tunate to be his private guests, has been
very numerous one; while he in turn
has been, at home and abroad, the IA
vored guest of many such. 1t was about
the time of the incident with which we
began that the Marquis of Lorne, while
governor-g general of Canada, on behalf of
the Princess Louise and himself, solicited
and received a visit from him of several
days at Ottawa.
He has not been wanting in the per-
sonal homage of his humber admirers.
Every now and then a representative of
them, usually from a distance, rings his
doorbell and asks the privilege of pay
ing him his respects which is always
cheerfully granted. Not long since a
caller of that class, a big, good-natured
countryman-a butcher as he introduced
himself-after few minutes chat, asked,
Now tell me for fact, are you the
one who wrote all them books?"

This was regarded by doctors generally
as sort of old wives fable, but Jenner,
encouraged by the famous Hunter I'M
der whom he afterward studied. to try
and find out whether it was true, en-
tered upon prolonged series of expert
ments to verify or disprove the alleged
facts. As the COW pox sometimes disaD-
peared for years a time, Jenners ex-

James Phipps, was inoculated July 1,
1885, but as Jenner had predicted, did
not take the small pox, and though this
was tried on him twenty times after
ward he never took it. Some of his de-
sceDdants are still living in England
Vaccination was at first as violently op-
posed and denounced as incubation had
been, but it rapidly gained ground, and

endeavor to put an end to it, She had
occasion for all her heroism on attemptip
to introduce this treatment. When her
little daughter was inoculated on her
return to England in IT'S the govern
ment appointed four famous physicians
to watch the case, and such was their
hatred and prejudice that Lady Mady did
not dare to leave her child with them
for a second. She was hooted at in the
street as an unnatural mother and de-
nounced from the pulpit by the clergy.
An equally thankless task was assumed
by DIR. Boyton, professor of physics at
Cambridge Gu. So, who inoculated his
boy of six.
Many pamphlets were written for and
against the practice in both London and
America-for instance, a sermon against
the dangers and sinful practice of inocula-
tion-another sermon classes this ''infat-
uation" with witchcraft and the persecu-
ton of the Quakers. Increase Mather
wrote two pamphlets OF his ninety-two,
now so rare. on Accounts of Cowpock in
London, 1721,'' defending the practice, and
also defending himself and his son Cotton

Loan exhibitions have gradually be-

money for charitable and other pur-
poses in New York, having in great
measure supplanted the erstwhile pop

be said to depend largely, as did that
