SIR THOMAS SHEDS TEARS.

While taking his defeat gamely, Sir
Thomas Upton made no attempt to con-
ceal the honest disappointment when he
talked about the race last night on the
Erin.
"I am very disappointed" he said, "I
cast hide that. / thought within 10 min
utes OF the finish that we had won. I
was sure as my life that we had won.
When 1 looked around the situation had
changed. and we had lost. II was a hard
blow to be so near winning. and then TO
lose. should like 10 have got one race,
Just by way OF consolation. IL Is a very
hard thing TO be beaten by a breath-by
few beats OF the pulse. II has been a
severe strain on me, l have worked SO
hard for many months now, and 1 am
glad IL fs over.
ITO have won would have been Joy
greater than today's disappointment.
Columbia's win today was fair and square
and honorable. There is nothing TO protest
II 1 wanted to protest. In fact. have a
feeling In my heart that IL there had
been any error In judgment at all IL
would have been In my favor. IL there
had been any possibility OF choice i'm the
matter I believe the New York Yacht
club would have given me the race.
Sometimes a man may have the better
boat, but even having II must have wee
bit Of luck TO win. am very grieved, in
deed. very grieved. and" he added, "I
should have liked 10 have won one race, +"
Hardly had the Erin's anchor touched
lotion when "A launch from the yacht
Corsair came alongside bearing the re-
gatta committee of the New York yacht
club. Sir 4homas met them at the head
of the gangway and as he shook hands
with them individually. he said:
Gentlemen, IL was fair beat I want
10 say again that you have treated me
with the utmost fairness and courtesy.
You have met every wish OF mine and
from my heart j thank you"
Commodore Lewis Cass Ledyard.
chairman of the New York yacht club re-
gatta committee, replied:
'Sir Thomas, we have never had a
truer sportsman TO deal with"
.Iany of Sir Thomas guests on board
the Erin crowded around to express their
sympathy at his defeat and assured him
OF the high place he had won in the hearts
OF all Americans.
when a man wins "A heart he has won
more than a cup" said one OF them.
There were tears in the Irish baronet's
eyes when he thanked them for their kind
words Said he:
THE words you have spoken touch me
far more than my defeat today. / tried
10 win the cup and / have done my best.
But better than all that have the good
wishes OF this country"
When asked about his plans for the fu-
ture Sir Thomas said: 1T is too early to-
talk about any plans. About the Sham
rock. cannot decide yet what l shall do,
and as TO challenging again IL is too soon
TO think about it,"

Brown Did Not Make Good Showing in
Practice Yesterday, Backs Good,

The outlook for today's game between

manner. Dennico played fullback In the

Vaccination,

The British Medical Journal, for Nov
%, 1901, contains an editorial entitled THE
Newspapers and Vaccination" in which
the writer discusses the merits of vac
cination, and strongly urges its universal
adoption. There can be no question re-
speeding the accuracy of the figures pre-
scented by the author by this high author
ity, as such statistics are very carefully
compiled in Germany. and the British
Medical Journal is very careful in veri-
flying its quotations.
The Journal says: "The imperial board
of health. Berlin, has recently issued the
statistics for the year 1899. The total
number of smallpox deaths in all Ger
many, with a population of 54,0OO,OO0, is
%, giving a rate per million of 052. In
1898 the rate was OBS; in 1897 1t was 0.09:
in 1896 0.19. The 2S deaths belong to q
different places in Germany, a striking
proof that the population is well protect
ed by the German law which requires not
only vaccination I'm the second year of
life, but revaccination during school age.
The largest number of deaths in any one
locality was only three. Most of the
cases occurred near the frontiers of badly
vaccinated countries. The attacks num-
bered 346 the fatality being 81 per cent.
Eight children died of smallpox during
the first year of life; of these six were
not vaccinated, and as to vaccination the
facts were unknown in two cases. Six
children died in the second year, three
not vaccinated, three unknown. Eighteen
of the Is deaths belong to Prussia, mostly
near the Russian frontier. No death oc-
CURED in any German city of over $4,000
population, and only four deaths in the
2S5 towns of Germany, with a population
of 100000 giving a rate per million in
the towns of 0.3. AS a contrast, in IS
Austrian towns, with a population of
nearly four millions, the smallpox deaths
H. giving a rate of 200: in q Belgian
towns population 2,4140OM the deaths
were 126 and rate 500; in 80 English towns
population II ,4Q, 400 the deaths were 145
and the rate 1871; lastly. in ZIG French
towns, with a population of S,66S,0O0 the
deaths were 600, giving a rate per million
of G9.2. Thus the English town smallpox
mortality in 1899 was 42-fold the German
the Austrian was 67-fold, the Bel N was
174-fold, and the French as niue 231-
fold that of German towns.
THE extremely low smallpox NOR reality
of Germany is not an occurrence of one
year only; it has been low ever since
their law of 1874 made the revaccination
of all school children compulsory and
abolished epidemics of smallpox"

Novel Farming in San Luis Valley

Right in the heart of the mountains of
southern Colorado occurs a wide open
plain known as the San Luis valley. 1t
is as level as a floor to the eye, but in
reality it has a fall of from two to eight
feet to the mile. The plain is very fertile
when water is applied, and contains as
estimated, 600 or more square miles of
country which can be cultivated. Like
other land in the arid section, it must be
irrigated to be successfully farmed, but
it is particularly remarkable for the quail
ity it possesses of freely "sub-irrigating'
or permitting the water running along
the upper side of each section to perco-
late through the soil in such a way that
no personal attention from the farmer as
is usually necessary in irrigation, is re-
quired. Indeed, the farmers have COM
planned that their chief objection to the
country is the extreme monotony of the
life there; that there is nothing to do
during the growing season except to
watch the crops mature. Consequently,
many of them go into the mountains and
prospect, or spend the summer picking
berries or fishing, or in other recreations.
Irrigation is by means of lateral
trench, dug from the main ditch, across
the more elevated side of the ranch, with
perhaps a few others parallel to 1t. Into
| these the water is turned, and works into
| the soil to such an extent that all parts
| of the ranch are thoroughly irrigated.
The soil is rather a sandy loan of fairly
even depth, beneath which a bed OF
| hardpan is supposed to exist, which keeps
| the water from sinking to such great
| depths that the soil cannot absorb it.
The San Luis valley receives its water
| from the Rio Grande, which rises in the
mountain country near by. From this
river the necessary bitches are run and
| the water conducted to the lands.
81 vfrtlw g hNr
| biography of the United States geologi-
| cal survey has been making investiga-
| tons on the Rio Grande river in Col

The Moral ArpeeslO.

Life is filled at times with situations
which demand the use of the moral
arpeggio. We cannot take the highest
notes by leap or a bound. We must
climb up to character heights slowly and
by a hand-over-hand process. We must
be sure of our foundation note, and then
follow up the sequence step by step. The
prophet Hosea says in a certain place:
Then shall we know if we follow on to
know the Lord" The verse of DIR. Hol-
land contains the same thought wrought
out in a different figure:
Heaven is not reached by a single bound
But we build the ladder by which we rise
From the lowly earth to the vaulted skies
IA we mount to its summit round by
round.
We rise by the things that are under ouI
feet
By what we have mastered of good and
gain,
By the pride deposed and the passion
slain
And the vanquished ills that we hourly
meet
