twelfth Of the population Of Europe
died of smallpox, and that nearly
everybody had the disease. Today
hardly one person in 100000 has it.
Since in regions where vaccination has
not been introduced the disease is as
viruIent and deadly as ever, il is a fair
inference that vaccination has made
the difference.

THE NATIONS GRATITUDE.
President McKinley's Message on the
 Manila Victory.


 WASHINGTON, May 9.-The President to-day sent the following message to Congress:
 To the Congress of theUnited States:
 On the 24th of April I directed the Secretary of the Navy to telegraph orders to Commodore Geo. Dewey, ,of the United States Navy, commanding the Asiatic squadron, then lying in the port of Hong Kong, to proceed forth with to the Philippine Islands, there to commence operations and engage the Spanish fleet.
 Promptly obeying that order, the United States squadron, consisting of the flagship Olympia, Baltimore, Raleigh, Boston, Concord and Petrel, with the revenue cutter Hugh Me Culloch as an auxiliary dispatch boat, entered the harbor at Manila at day break on the 1st of May and immedi- ately engaged the entire Spanish fleet of eleven ships, which were under the protection of the fire of the land forts After stubborn fight, in which the enemy suffered great loss, these vessels were destroyed or completely disabled and the water battery at Cavite sileuced. Of our brave officers and men not one was lost and only eight injured, and those slightly. All Of our ships escaped any serious damage.
 By the fourth of May Commodore Dewey had taken possession of the naval station at Cavite, destroying the Notifications there and at the entrance of the bay and paroling their garrisons. The waters of the bay are under his complete control. He has established hospitals within the American lines, where 250 of the Spanish sick and wounded are assisted and protected.
 The magnitude of the victory can hardly be measured by the ordinary standards of naval warfare. Out weighing any material advantage is the moral effect of this initial success. At this unsurpassed achievement the great heart of our nation throbs, not with boasting or with greed of con- quest, but with deep gratitude that this triumph has come in just cause and that by the grace of God an effec- tive step has thus been taken toward the attainment of the wished for peace. To those whose skill, courage and devotion have won the fight, to the gallant commander and the brave of- ficers and men who aided him, our country owes an inealculable debt.
 Feeling as our people feel, and speaking in their name, at once sent a message to Commodore Dewey thank ing him and his officers and men for their splendid achievement and over whelming victory, and informing him that l had appointed him an Acting Rear Admiral. l now recommend that following our national precedents and expressing the fervent gratitude of every patriotic heart, the thanks of Congress be given Acting Rear Admiral George Dewey, of the United States Navy, for highly distinguished conduct in conflict with the enemy and to the officers and men under his com mand for their gallantry in the de- struction of the enemy's fleet and the capture of the enemy's fortifcation in the Bay of Manila.

THINGS WORTH KNOWING.

Finger marks can be removed from var
aished furniture by rubbing with a cloth
slightly wet or dampened with sweet oil;
they can be removed from oiled furniture
in similar manner with kerosene oil.
Oilcloths or linoleum should not be
washed with hot soap suds; lukewaIin
water is better for the wear of same.
Occasionally ink is spattcred in incOn-
venient places, as, for instance, on the
papered wall. When such is the case and
the remedy is applied promptly the ink
can be removed. Pour over a teaspoon
full of chlorinated lime just enough water
to cover it. Moisten a piece of soft linen
with this mixture, and gently dab or pat
the stain, and it will gradually disappear.
Sometimes one application will not Who'll
ly take out the stain, in which case the
paper should be allowed to dry and
another application given.
A few drops of alcohol on a cloth are
better than soap or water to clean a lamp
chimney. Use the soap and water first and
apply the alcohol for any spots remaining
and to give fine polish The metal work
of a lamp can be rubbed bright with its
own oil.
To make lime water get some Jumps OF
unslacked lime, and put them into jar
of water. The quantities make no differ
ence, as the water Will only absorb q Ger
tain portion of lime, leaving the rest as a
sediment on the bottom Of the jar. Usual
" a piece of lime as big as hens egg is
enough for a twO-quart jar. For awhile
the water will look milky, but it gradual
ly clears. When it is quite clear it is
ready for use. 1t is we'll sometimes to
strain if there is much scum on the top.

How Would He Spell Il ?

R. A. Barnet tells good story at the
expense Of Bernard Shaw, the English
critic. 1t seems that the latter was
commenting upon the limitations put
upon him in the Saturday Review work
and complaining that he really had no
opportunity to express his opinions In
the English press. 1t was at a club In
London that he started upon a TRADE
against the narrowness Of the publish
ers of England-their unwillingness to
sanction his socialistic notions. 1t was
to Max Beerbohm that he broke out as
follows:
Il am going to publish a magazine
some Of these days which shall print
my opinions on all the topics Of the
day. l have enough Of them and to
spare. On art, literature, philosophy,
music, the drama, socialism, religion
and every other subject, this magazine
shall reflect my opinions. 1 shall write
every line Of 1t, too. The experiment
might fail instanter, but It shall at
least have a trial"
"What will you call your periodicalr'
asked Max Meerbohm.
"I'H give 1t a concise and appropriate
title by naming it after myself" said
Mr.. Shaw.
How will you spell itT' Mr.. Beer
bohm inquired, innocently.-NewY York
