ABOUT SMALLPOX
A Disease Best Treated BY Pre-
Ventive Measures

Less than a century ago smallpox
was as common as scarlet fever is to-
day, and it was as unusual for one to
escape its attack as it is now for per-
son to grow to adult life without hav-
ing suffered from this pest of child
mood, says the Youths Compan-
ion. So almost inevitable was it that
1t became common practice to inocu-
late people in early life, as the disease
SO produced was found to be milder
than that arising from contagion.
Ihen vaccination was discovered, and
as II became general smallpox ceased
TO be the scourge it had been.
There is no remedy that will cut
snort an attack of smallpox; but skill
ful medical treatment, and especially
intelligent and careful nursing, can do
wonders in the saving of life and in
Warding off the evils which may follow
the disease.
Smallpox being one of the most con-
tag1ous of diseases, it is imperative to
lsolate the patient, no one except the
doctor and the nurses being permitted
to enter the sickroom. This room
should be in the upper story of the
mouse, and no room on that floor should
pc occupied by any other member of
the family.
All carpets, hangings and uphol-
stored furniture should be removed
from the floor, and the sick room
should be bare of all but the absolute
~ necessary articles of furniture. In
front of the door should be hung a
large sheet reaching to the floor, which
must be kept constantly wet with a
solution of chloride of lime, carbolic
acid, or some other efficient disinfect-
ant.
The patient must not be allowed to
leave the room until some days after
the peeling of the skin is over. Then a
bath should be prepared in another
room, and to this he should go, leaving
his clothes in the sick room. After the
bath, which must be very thorough, in
Guiding shampoo, the patient may
dry himself hastily, and then, with only
clean sheet over him, go downstairs
TO another room where there are clean
clothes ready for him. The nurses
should go through a similar process
before meeting other people.
The clothes left in the sick room, in
GLIDING the bedclothx5, had better be
destroyed, or, if not, they must be
boiled for at least half an hour. The
room and furniture must be thoroughly
dlslnfected before it is again occupied.
The only sure preventive of smallpox
is vaccination, and as it's protective
power gradually becomes weak with
time, it is wise to repeal it every ten
or fifteen years, and any one exposed
to smallpox ought always to be revac-
cinated, no matter how recently the OPP
GRAFTON may have been performed.
Even when the efficiency of vaccina-
ton is so far weakened as not to pro
tect against an attack OF smallpox, it is
almost always sufficient to render the
attack mild, and it is rare for a person
with good vaccination scars to suffer
from anything more severe than varic,
loid 1t is important to remember
however, that varioloid is true small
poX in mild form, and the patient is
just as dangerous to those about him
as if he had continent smallpox. Hence
the above described precautions should
be taken in every case, however mild.

Cape Nome Tide Lands

Washington, Dec. ia very import
ant question has just been decided by
Commissioner Hermann of the general
land office, governing placer mining
upon the beach of the Rering sea, off
the coast of Alaska, at and near Cape
Nome. the new goldfield
The decision affects mining and loca-
tlons embracing tide lands below the
line of ordinary high tide. Numerous
applications are pending before the in
terror department as to locations upon
such lands, which have been demon
strated to contain gold in marvellous
quantities.
individuals or associations OF persons,
and Incorporated mining COMPANIES are
seeking concessions from the govern
nent, by which they may acquire ex-
elusive mining rights and privileges
pertaining to such tide lands
The commissioner decides that tide
lands in the district of Alaska are not
public lands subject to disposal to in
dividuals under any of the existing land
laws Of the United States, and that the
department has no statutory authority
to make concessions to individuals of
any mining rights pertaining to such
tide lands.

HARBOR OF PAG0-PAG0
Is Shaped Like a Boot and Can
Accommodate Great Fleets

In obtaining full possession of the
fine harber of Pago-pago in the treaty
with Germany and England, the United
States secures a naval station of great
strategic value for the future protec-
ton and development of our growing
Pacific commerce, says Rear Admiral
Farquhar in the Independent. The
control Of it may also be looked upon
as a necessity. 1t lies in the direct
route of our future commerce between
San Francisco and the far east, and it
will therefore prove of an advantage
that any one can appreciate who
studies it's location in the Pacific in
connection with our new possessions
there.
Pago-pago harbor is shaped like a
boot and is perfectly protected on all
sides. The water is deep enough to
accommodate heavy draught vessels,
and it has all the natural surround
ings necessary to form a protected
roadstsGd for modern war vessels. As
a coaling and repair station for the
navy, it could be made second to none
in the Pacific. 1t could easily be for
tilted and made a strong, impregnable
harbor

MOODY HAS NOT
RETIRED PERMANENTLY
Evangelist Brands As Untrue
Statement That He viii Do
No More PREACHING

East Mortified. Dec 13.-The state
ment which has been made that
Dwight L. Moody, the widely known
evangelist, had written to Ira D. San
key, his old companion, that he should
never do any more evangelical plat
form work. is a statement made out of
whole CLOTH AS matter of fact. Mr..
Moody has not written a single word
since he returned from Kansas City,
some weeks ago. His condition is such
that he is not allowed to write. The
truth in relation to the letter is as
follows: Mr. Sankey wrote to the
Moody family expressing his SYM
pathy and a desire to know Mr..
Moody's condition.
The answer was written by W. r.
Moody, the Oldest son of the evangel-
list. In substance the letter stated that
of fact none knew whether he would
be able to do platform work in the
future or not. The letter has been dis
torted and the facts are as stated
above. 1t is the hope of the family
that after a few months of rest, Mr..
Moody will be able to resume platform
work in moderate degree. If Mr.
Moody continues to improve, it is
hoped that he will be able to preside at
some of the Mortified conferences.
He is able to sleep fairly well, some
nights as much as eight or nine hours.
At other times he sleeps six or seven
less. There is nothing alarming in
this. 1t simply means that he is not
physically tired when he retires, his
brain is unduly active and he is not
able to sleep the usual number of hoursl
His appetite is fairly good and no more.
He eats principally liquid food, though
occasionally he has eggs and toast. He
chafes good deal under his confine-
ment. He tries to make the best of it,
but every little while he will break out
with an expression like this: "How
long have | got to be Gagged up here?'
1t is probably true that Mr.. Moody
realizes that it is easier to preach about
patience than to practice it.
He is now cared for by professional
nurse who was sent from New York
by DR. Nichols a few days ago. This
enables Mrs. Moody and Mrs. A. P.
Fit to get much needed rest The mail

Der of letters from friends in that coun-
try, reached here yesterday. They con-
tain many expressions of sympathy
and the hope for the recovery of Mr..
Moody.

ALMOST A DISASTER.

The transport Ohio came within a
half length of landing on the reef off
the bell buoy as she approached port
this morning. Just as she reached the
buoy she suddenly turned and veered
inland. Officers of the Oregon got out
megaphone and shouted to her of the
danger. At the same time the pilot,
who was coming up in Larsen's launch,
raised an alarm and the vessel stopped
and began to back. When she stopp-
ed her bow was just clear of the reef.
