ABOUT VACCINATION.
Some Causes of the Failure of Opera
 fInna.


 Many people follow the safe custom of being vaccinated every five or ten years, since it is well known that the protection against smallpox afforded by this procedure may become exhausted after time. Usually such vaccination does not take because the immunity conferred by the previous one is still present, but it is not safe to trust to this too implicitly, since person may be susceptible to the disease and yet for some reason the vaccination may not take.
 One should be suspicious if the arm is exceedingly sore, for this does not always mean that the operation has been a success, but often. just the con, trary. The inflammation may be due 10 the ndmixture of some impurity with the vaccine matter, or as is more likely, to contamination by an imperfectly- e.eansed lancet, the fingers of the phy-- sician CT of the patient, or the clothing In such a case the strange microbes kill the vaccine.
 Again, the vaccination does not suc- cced and the person is thought to be al~ ready protected, but few days later fever declares itself, such as typhoid fever, measles or scarlatina. This fever is often incorrectly attributed by the patienf CT his friends to infection by impure vaccine matter, while the truth is that the disease had already been caught bu. not yet developed when the. vaccination was made, and this, like the severe inflammation, also kiIls the virus.
 Another frequent cause of failure is that the vaccine lymph is not inserted deeply enough. It should be inseri q beneath the ePdernis into the true skin, as shown by the exudation of very minute drops of bloodt If the scraping is made too deep, however, the blood will flow in greater quantity and may wash away the vaccine virus, and so lead to failure.
 Finally, want of success may be due to the fact that the arm has been cov- cred too soon, and consequently the lymph has been rubbed of before snfii- cient time has elapsed to permit of its absorption.
 Because of the many, often unavoid- able, accidents such as these, which in- terfere with the success of vaccination, the operation ought always to be repeat ed in two or three weeks, if the first attempt does not take.-Youth's Com panion.

 Nor do this average Bostonian and his family escape from public control upon rising from the table.

Without stopping to reflect that he has not been asked to permit these public servants to go upon his property, he steps out upon a sidewalk constructed in accord ance with public requirements, crosses street paved and watered and swept by the public, and enters street car whose route, speed and fare are regu- lated by the public.

While nc final arrangements with either Of the companies that bid for the contract has been made, there is no reason to doubt that the plan will be successfully car ried through. 4 natural extension cf tEe idea would be a North Atlantic cable between America and Europe, with Iceland as stopping place Cue di- rect practical and scientific result of the present scheme would be to add iri- mensely to our meteorological re sources by furnishing daily weather re- ports from Iceland.

vice in the artillery wherever possible,
and no doubt is entertained that plenty
of material of the right kind will be
offered. The names of the officers of
the new regiments are now being Sc

to assign fifteen soldiers from existing

it is expected that in a very short time
Uncle Sam Will have two grand regi-

partment since Saturday relative TO the

1t is learned that Spain's suggestion

henson due to a newspaper report
This report was to the effect that Gen

the disaster to the Maine Accepting
this report as to Lees expression as
accurate, the Spanish Prime Minis t4r
brought the matter to Minister Wood
fords attention. making at the time
the suggestion that General Lees re-
call would be gratifying to Spain.
1t did not require a great while for
Spain to discover that General Lee had
been, according to the United States
authorities, incorrectly reported. Be
fore this discovery was made. how

made for General Lees recall
In view of the doubt existing, Mr..
Dubosie took occasion to cable 10 his
Government, with a view of learning
the exact status of affairs. Mean
time, while not being in a position to
give any official denial to the reported
request for General Lees recall. Span
ish officials discussed the possibilities
of misapprehension arising out of
past incidents. Some time ago the pub
lished reports of General Lees SYM
pathy with the insurgents came to the
attention of the authorities at Madrid
1t resulted in considerable animadver-
sion. 1t did not, as far as known, re-
suit in any official protest against Cen
eral Lees course.
The sending Of relief supplies to Cuba
by naval vessels underwent no change
as the result of Senior Dubosie's cali.
In this matter he was fully informed,
as il was through him that the request
had been made that the supplies be sent
on merchant vessels instead of war
ships. Since making the request the
Spanish Government has added nothing
to further define its attitude. SenOT
Dubosie has felt from the first that ii
would be far more desirable in the
present condition of affairs to have the
supplies go by transport or merchant
vessel. and he thought this view would
be shared by the officials here. He
still feels that a satisfactory under
standing on the subject Will be reached.
He dismissed the idea. IN speaking OF
the matter. that in any event there is
any serious significance in a request
Of this kind. He views it as sugges-
tion which any Government might
make concerning its own ports. which,
by universal custom. are regulated TO

has withdrawn her request for the re-

lieved that the incident is practically
closed. The withdrawal came to-day
in the shape of an official communca-

stated that the request was never put
in the shape of a demand but was
merely a suggestion on the part of
Spain, and when she found it would not
be pleasantly received by this country
she promptly recalled IT.
1t is learned that the Spanish objec-
ton TO Consul General Lee is based
largely upon his sympathy for the Gu
bans and some Of his utterances which
have found their way into print. It
is understood that the Spaniards also
take exceptions to the friendly relations
and companionehip existing between
General Lee and correspondents of pa
pers which have been decidedly an
friendly to Spain. 1t is believed that
