EFFECT IN INDIA OF INOCULATION
WITH PROF. HAFFKENE'S SERUM.
Interview Between Queen Victoria
Ored by Cambridge University.

LONDON, March 1.-THE parliamentary
secretary for the India office, the Earl of
Onslow, in the House of Lords to-day, re-
plying to a question of Lord Reay. Liberal,
who has been parliamentary secretary for
India and Governor of Bombay, and who is
president of the Royal Asiatic Society,
said that Dr. Yersin, the French expert,
began the incubation of plague patients at
Bombay March 6. The effect on fresh
cases his lordshp added, was surprisingly
good but il was of small benefit in cases
of long standing. Referring to Professor
Haffkine's serum, the Earl of Onslow said
that 2.3n persons had been inoculated with
1t, of which number only two had been at
tackled and both these persons were alive.
In conclusion, his lordship said that people
were coming in more freely TO be inocu-
lated. and that the government of Bombay
was organizing depots for incubation.

fhe Blessings Of Cheerfulness.

What 4 difference II makes when
ore 10 habitually cheerful Wherever
such person goes he carries glad
ness. He makes 1t easier for others
to live. He puts encouragement in
to the heart of every one he meets.
When you ask after his health, he
answers you in happy, cheerful way
that quickens your own pulse. He
does not burden you with list Of
complaints. He does not consider IL
necessary to tell Won at breakfast how
poorly he has rested, how many hours
be heard the clock strike during the
night, or any of the details of his
miserable ssss:s..;:s,. ;i,;s morning. He
prefers only to speak of cheerful
things, not staining the brightness of
the morning for you with the recital
of his own discomforts.
The cheerful man carries with him
a fragrance in his presence and per-
sonalitv--an influence that acts upon
others as summer warmth on the
fields and forests. 1t wakes up and
calls out the best that lie in them. 1t
makes them stronger, Drawer and hap
pier. Such man makes little spot
of this world lighter, brighter, warm
er place for other people to live in.
To meet him in the morning is to get
an inspiration which makes all the
the days struggles and tasks easier.
His hearty handshake puts thrill Of
new vigor in ones veins. After
talking with him for o few minutes
you feel an exhilaration of spirits,
quickening of energy, renewal of
zest and interest in living, and are
ready for any duty or service.
p The blessing of one such cheerful
life in home is unreasonable. 1t
