SHE WAS PLAIN WITH HIM.

Aunt Sally Gave the Minister Some
thing to Think About.
Two women in the early part Of the
last century lived In Virginia. They
were noted for their common sense,
and many Of their sprightly sayings
are quoted and enjoyed to this day.
They were both Methodlsts. and their
house was n place Of resort for the
clergy OF that denomination. OF one
of the women. known as Aunt Sally.
the following story Is told:
She had a black silk dress which she
was accustomed to slip on when she
attended church. II seems that once,
while conference was being held near
her house. a Methodist minister who
lad enjoyed her hospitality and was
saying Soodby ventured TO remon
strate against her use OF costly APP
parcl.
"Well. Aunt Sally" said he. ''you
have been very kind to me and my
wife during our stay AT your house,
and we appreciate your kindness. We
shall never forget IT, But. my dear

silk was troubling anybody. II hangs
up there behind the door. and as II

One View of Our Women,

American women separate them
selves more each year from the life Of
the country and affect to smile at any
of their number who honestly wish to
be of service to the nation. They, like
the French aristocracy, are perfectly
willing, even anxious, to fill agreeable
diplomatic posts at first class foreign
capitals. and are naively ast0nished
when their offers of service are not ac-
cepted with gratitude by the authori-
ties at Washington But let husband
propose to his better half some humble
position in the machinery of our gov
eminent and see what the lady's
answer will be. A New York woman
was transplanted to western city,
where she was told that "the ladies Of
the place expected her to become their
social leader" Il don't see anything
to lead" was the amiable response
From Eliot Gregory's 'sWo:ldly Ways"

SMALLPOX.
4 Word of Warning from an. state Board
of Health.

4 Word OF Warning from the state h"ar"
Of Health.
secrrtay's Office, State Board OF
Health, January %, 1901.
The State Board of Health would call
the attention of the people Of the State
to the prevalence OF small pox in the
country.
There is hardly a state in the Union
in which there are not eases. The dis
ease. which was of a mild type last
year is growing more malignant. This
fact is undoubtedly largely due to the
neglect of vaccination. For many de
cades the country has been compare
lively free from epidelnics of this pesti-
lence. hence parents have neglected to
have their children yaccinated; this has
resulted in very large number of per-
sons arriving at adult life without hav-
ing given thought to the necessity Of
being protected from this loathsome dis
ease. The terrible results that may fol.
low the general neglect OF vaccination
are shown in Germany when popula
ton which had allowed vaccination 10
he almost entirely neglected had an
annual mortality from small pox Of
$4,000 TO 20, 900, eliminating in ISL in
an epidemic in which there were $4,000
deaths. This aroused the government
to the importance of taking means to
prevent such wholesale destruction of
human life and in 1874 the law was
passed making vaccination compulsory
in the first year Of life aud re-vaccina-
ton in the tenth year. With the en-
forcement Of this act small pox ceased
TO Ice a menace aud the annual mortality
since then instead of fifteen or twenty
thousand has been on an average OF IL.
We trust our people will not wait for a
similar experience before they arouse to
the Importance Of having a general vac
cination in all our towns. In the last
eight months this disease has appeared
in three different towns, in one case the
contagion came from the far West, in
the other two from New Hampshire. At
4 the present time Vermont is the only
New England State in which the disease
does not exist, but with cases to North.
in Canada in near by towns. to the
West, in the State of New York and
South, in Massachusetts,, while on our
eastern border, in New Hampshire the
disease still exists. weS submit there is
imminent danger of an outbreak of this
disease at any time due to the importa-
ton from surrounding states. Hence
we would urge upon local Boards Health
and through them the people the impor-
lance of thorough aud immediate vac
cination and re-vaccination in order to
prevent the occurrence of an epidemic
of small pox by importation from points
outside the State.

GREASE AT LAUNCHlNGS.
Big Cost of Getting n BattIeship Int'
the Water.

"The mere act of getting war yes
sci into the water costs a lot of money,
time and trouble" said an engineer.
speaking of the recent launching of
several new torpedo boats. Il spent a
year and half in the designing room
of the Cramps yard" he continued.
land happen to know what am talk
ing about. OF course the launching of
little torpedo boat is comparatively
easy, and the cost is not over Il few
hundred dollars. including flowers and
souvenirs and even the bottle of cham
payne used in the christening But
when it comes to big armored cruiser
or a first class battleship ii is Il horse
of different color, and the actual eX-
pense seldom falls below $1,000 or So
600. I've known it to go as high as
$4,000.
1.-THE building of the ways for the
ship to slide down over is the main
item. and then comes the greasing.
Every inch of timber over which the
vessel slides must be covered with lu-
bricant. Different firms use different
substances. but soap and tallow form
the main ingredients of them all. AT
the Cramps we used layer of beef
tallow and a layer of soft soap. and,
taken altogether, between | and ~
tons of the stuff were required to put a
move ON the average battleship. The
tallow is spread on first to the depth
Of about three fingers, and the work
men use big fiat trowels to make the
surface as smooth as possible. Then
they pour over the soft soap. which Is
just thick enough to run, or about the
| consistency of tar.
GAS general thing, the double coat.
ing answers the purpose admirably
and the ship glides into the water as If
it was sailing on air. If it sticks, as
has happened in few cases, it is likely
to spring some of its plates, and acct
dents of that kind are so costly that
nothing is spared to avert them."-New
