Some of the Ie. sons taught by this experience may
be summarized as follows
Ffrst-The ir5t lesson cannot be better stated
than in the wold ds of the Berlin Board of Health:
Vaccination in infancy. renewed at the end OF
childhood renders Individual practically as safe
from death from smallpox If that disease had
been survived in childhood. and almost safe from
attack
Second-The alton Of the immunity conferred
by vaccination is variable. In many individuals
vaccination in infancy and revaccina1ion in child.
hood sufficient for life protection In limited
number immunity is lost in five or six years. IL
is possible to know with certainty to which
class individual belongs. In the face OF an
epidemic therefore vaccination of all who have
not been vaccinated within five or six years IS
giving what the lawyers call the benefit Of a reason
able doubt. Every who has been vaccinated in
infancy and childhood should be vaccinated not less
than once in adult life. .
Third-The immunity conferred by vacci1a ton Is
direct proportion the thoroughness with which
II is performed. and this is shown with consideraoe
accuracy fs, the character and number Of the re-
sulting scars.
Fourth-Vaccination in infancy alone is not suffl-
cient to wholly prevent smallpox among the adult
population
Fifth-optionaI vaccination has not proved suftl-
cient to protect the community from smallpox
Compulsory vaccination is a measure warranted by
than a century of experience.
Sixth-The mild cDmpulsion enforced in this coun-
try by requiring vaccination evidence or It's
recent performance upon admission to the public
schools should have the hearty support OF parents
and physicians alike

THE LONDON SECURITIES MARKET.

London. Dec. s-The outlook on the Stock Ex-
change was somewhat brighter during the last week
owing to the Message from President Roosevelt
the speech of the Prince of Wales and the unex-
pectedy heavy captures in South Africa These
latter also helped the market for mining shares
and kaffirs slightly indefinite predictions
of the termination of the South African war
The money situation was satisfactory and there
was no prospect of stringency in New-York Paris
and Berlin bills. while after January / the GUS
tomary cash returns from the monetary centres

is thought this promised situation. combined with
the present low price of all stocks will stimulate

A CLAIRVOYANT STORY.
Mother and Wife Have Premonitions of
 an Englishman's Tragic Eeath.

Dr. Abraham Wallace. of Harley street, relates curious story concern ing the death of the late Mr. P. l.. Foxwell. the stock broker of Thames Ditton, whose body was found in the river six weeks after his disappear ance, says the London Chronicle. On the night before he was missing Mr. FoXwell visited his aged mother at Finsbury Park, and the old lady's parting words were: 'Oh. Percy. do take care; l feel as if something is going to happen to you tonight. '" The lecturer explained that, being a lady interested in psychic matters. Mrs. Foxwell last year visited clair yoyant, who told her that she would be widow within l2 months. After her husbands disappearance she con suited another clsirvoyant. and. al- though not possessed of psychic powers. she saw in the crystal her husbands drowned body. In the drawing-room at Ditton Lawn some of the party were positive that the dead mans spirit form was present. Subsequently letters from the dead man were read. and after his body had been found communication from him was received in which he stated that "a> his dead body had been found. he did not wish to give any fur ther particulars about himself. as il would greatly upset his dear wife. ; h conclusion. he said that nearly every one of the incidents predicted by the clairvoyants had been verified --a fact that Mrs. Foxwell and others would willingly testify by affidavit.
