From The Chicago Record.
An English medical writer says that unqUes-
tionably the spot the outside of the arm
where vaccination is usually performed has
been chosen from motives Of convenience rather
than aesthetics, and with but small ConsdeTa-
ton for the feelings of the little patients in
after life. So far convenience is concerned
nothing could be better; and when the time
comes when to be unvaccinated viii be cOnsid-

On the whole the most popular substitute seems
to be the leg This is objected 10 by mothers on
the plea that it is difficult 10 keep the part

protecting vaccination this objection loses much

Another point urged is that much of the trouble

from the of vesicatiOn required and its

HOPELESS STRUGGLES.

The poor fellow that has been noosed seeks
refuge in the thick of the herd; but the ma

ally corner him. and attendants outside the
palsade quickly secure the ropes to the piles

to rejOin the Others and the shock lifts his hind
legs clean off the ground, throws him on his
knees, and the creaking Of the timbers is min
gIed with a of rage. He is allowed TO do
his best to get loose; but repeated attempts

but the condition of the prisoner arOuses good
deal of interest and he is visited by friends,
actuated either by curiosity or pity, who look
on with a puzzled expression and blow little
clouds of dust in the air. One youngster, that
walked up with inquiTing air, was promptly
charged square in the ribs, and sent rolling on
his back. AS he lay there, with his legs CULVER

TETHERING III WIID EI.EPHANTs.

The captured elephant soon becomes quleter,
and is worked close up TO the piles, where he is
again secured with only few feet of tether.
This though not devoid of interest is the slow
est part Of the whole show; for il takes infinite
time and patience. The trained tuskeTs stand
round and gradually crowd him over, but with
out the least suspicion OF force. If he makes
a charge for liberty they begin again, and get
on the other side Of him as quietly and unob-
tI-1siVely if they had forgotten his existence.
Sometimes for minutes together there is no
movement: but slowly and surely they get him
where he is wanted. Now that he is tied up
short. the next move is To place a rawhIde collar

accomplished in a minute nor without resist

Mrs. Pink Smith and little son,

Mr.. VIM. Halliburton made a
brief trip to Hatchie recently.
"Uncle Moses" and "Quack"
have so nearly covered the main
points of the century argument,
that it is only left for us to corrob-
crate their statements, and to Won
der what occurred in the year moth
ing. OF course we had to begin
reckoning time at zero; but accord
ing to twentieth century advocates
the whole of the first year was zero
until its expiration. Pardon us,
but we cannot see any logic in such
an argument. 1t had as we'll be
averred that today is nothing until
twelve o'clock tonight, at which
time it will have been Monday.
Now let us take one part of esd
ney's" view and analyze it. He
says that one hour has been COM
pleted when the clock strikes one.
Very well, but every tick of the
clock means minutes and seconds
Gnstead of nothingl that compose
the hour, just as the "irst evening
and morning" was part of the year
one, and is so considered by Chro-
biologists, for a date would be in
complete without the year. Then
what reason is there for not giving
to each day and month the number
of the year they are building? As to
whether there are 10 centuries in
1900 years, certainly; but not in
1899 years and three months. How
ever, if 1900 has expired and 1901
has progressed to March goth; then,
if we are going to cling to the de-
parted years memory we think in
stead of writing March goth, 1900,
it should be written: 1900 years, 2
months and 20 days. Especially
would this be best in the matter Of
legal documents where perfect ac-
curacy is necessary. Otherwise it
would be misleading, as written the
usual way, and admitting that 1900
had expired it could be construed
as having reference to the preceding
year. Therefore, March 26, 1900,
must mean the Goth day of the 3rd
month of the year 1900. EDYTHE.

Assembly, aspirants for the speaker
ship, to support Gov. McMillin's
candidacy in order to become gov
ernor should he be sent to the SEN
ate. 1t also brings the election of a
