KILLED BY A DEAD MAN.

Tragic Scene Enacted Oh a Battlefield
in south Africa.
So our dead lay and grinned at those
other dead and the fierce sun dried
flesh and blood on BritOn and on BOer.
for both remained unburied for a
while, and SO it came to pass that a
BOer cOmmandO retOOk the lines where
those who died for us were lying, and
as they marched among our dead they
saw a sergeant lying at full length,
shot through the brain. yet even In
death the man looked like some fight
ing machine suddenly gone out Of
order. His rifle was pressed against
his shoulder. his left hand grasped the
barrel on the under side. the forcing
er Of the right hand pressed the trig-
ger lightly. the barrel rested upon a
rock and his death-dulled eye still
glared along the sights. for dissolution
had come to him just as he bent his
head to fire at those who shot him. and
now his hands had stiffened in the un-
bendable stiffness Of eternal sleep. A
BOer soldier saw the sergeant as he lay
and with rude hands grasped the rife
by the barrel and tried to jerk it from
the dead mans grip. but as he pulled
he brought the rifle in line with his
own breast and the unyielding finger
on the trigger did the rest-the rifle
spoke from the dead mans hand and
the bullet, passing through the Beers
heart, laid him beside the Briton.
Sounds like journalistic lie. does 1t
not? Read it in novel and you would
laugh, would you not? But it is the
eternal truth, all the same. for the
comrade of the Boer who died that day
killed by a dead man, told me the tale
himself, and he was one of those who

slope of Spion kOp.-London News.

Training Boys in Germany.

A writer describing in a Philadel-
phia daily the methods of schools in
Germany, states that the manual
training schools in Germany are es-
pecially intended for the class Of boys
who idle away their time before and
after school on the street.
Theregular session closes at half past
two o'clock In the afternoon, and after
this time the boys who. either through
poverty or the Indifference of parents,
are not properly and BEAUTIFULLY en-
ployed must attend the industrial
school for the rest of the day.
In the summertime the boys. divid-
ed into classes, each under the, super
vision of teacher. are trained system
atically in all the branches of garden
ing. At other seasons Of the year the
boys are engaged at various light
crafts In workrOoms. such as making
OF baskets. brushes and brooms, and
plain carpentry. where the use of tools
is taught Typesetting aud book bind
Ing are taught to the advanced and
older classes.
Each boy receives a small remuner-
alton for his work when 1t is faithfully
and obediently performed. The money.
however. is not paid to him directly,
but is put into a savings-bank for him.
and from time to time he receives his
certificates of deposit.
The girls are taught knitting and all
kinds of sewing In the same system
attic manner. Every lesson is made a
class drill. The children work by die
tation. all In the room doing the same
work at the same time.

VACCINATION.

How the Discovery Of the Preventive
Vir Q Was Made and Applied.
Duringth eighteenth century it was
common talk among the country peO-
pie Of England and Scotland that milk
ers Of cows never had the smallpox.
At a time when this disease was one
Of the scourges Of Europe such a
fact naturally attracted attention.
Physicians In the cities did not regard
the country notion as worthy of notice.
When an epidemic threatened they in
oculated healthy persons with small
pox virus to give them the disease.
Then it was treated from the start
under favorable conditions. The chief
effect of the method was to make the
inoculated person certain he was to be
seriously Ill, while the uninoculated
might possibly escape. Jonathan Ed
wards was one of the famous victims
of incubation.
1t was left for an obscure country
physician, DR.. Jenner, to recognize the
scientific Importance of the tradition
about the immunity of mixers. By
his experiments in 1895 he proved that
incubation with cowpox virus carried
protection against smallpox. He wrote
a pamphlet on his experiments and
sent it to the Royal College of Physi-
clans In London. The manuscript was
returned with a cOntemptuous reply.
The discovery was of too great import
ance not to make an impression, and
during the fifth year after his first vac
cination Jenner and other doctors vac
cinated 10000 persons In England.
In spite Of the success of the process
there were many in the early part Of
the century who doubted its efficacy.
The experience Of the last thirty years
hasdemonstrated the value Of vaccine
ton beyond the possibility of doubt.
In Chemnitz. Germany. a city Of 64,-
600 Inhabitants, there was a smallpox
epidemic in 1901. About $4,000 of
the Inhabitants had been vaccinated.
Only 1.8 per cent of them contracted
the disease. OF the unvaccinated more
than 46 per cent were Ill. Among the
vaccinated less than ! per cent of the
cases resulted fatally. Among the un-
protected the percentage was above 8.
Statistics Of the armies In Franco
Prussian war show the same general
results. The German soldiers were
carefully vaccinated, while the French
were not. During widespread cpl
demic Of smallpox the German lost
only $50 men from the disease. while
the French lost 23.400. In general II
has been shown that the danger Of in
lection IL six times as great and the
mortality sixty-eight times as great In

A recent cure that seems almost q
miracle was that of Samuel Curnock,
of 62 Twenty-second avenue, Melrose
Park, Ill. The story is best told in
his own words. He says:
early in 1898 / began to expe-
rience WORKOUT feeling and noticed
that I became tired after very slight
exertion. l continued at my work in
the machine shop until July 2, 1898,
when l suffered from a fall, and after
that time grew rapidly worse. A ply
stefan was called and pronounced my
trouble locomotor ataxia. He treated
me for four months and there was no
improvement in my condition. l was
tald that my case was incurable, and
that l would continue to grow worse
until death relieved me. I was not
confined to my bed, although I spent
much of my time lying down, and
was entirely unable to work. l could
hardly stand; it seemed as II my legs
would give out from under me, and
my movements were like those of a
drunken man. A cold numbness came
in my right side, and l lost the
strength Of my right arm. Then my
eyes began to blur so that I could see
nothing distinctly, and in a short
time became totally blind in my
right eye.
Last December I began taking DR..
Williams Pink Pills for Pale People
and within a month I was so much
improved that determined to persist
in the treatment. At the end of the
second month was able to return to
my work and have not lost day on
