WASHINGTON LETTER.
From our Regular Correspondent

Indications ofunother som
ersault on the part OF the ad
ministratiUn are 10 sight.
This time it is the question
Of an extra session of Con-
gress. Up to the adjourn
ment for the holiday recess,
"avOid am extra session If
possible" was the watch
word of the administration,
and Senator Hanna used the
danger of an extra session as
q threat to score republicans
into line, who were taking op
position to the Ship Subsidy
bill. Now, it is being whis.
pered in administration cir
cles that the republicans
would welcome an extra ses-
sion and lie very glad if the
Opposition would make 1t ap
pear to be forced upon them
against their will. Some say
this is being done to prevent
Senators Pettigrew Allen and
Butler carrying out t b e j +
threat to oppose every bill
taken up in the Senate a S
long as the Ship-Sudsidy bill
ret aims the right OF way.
There may, OF course, be
something in that; but there
are several otherIeasons why
the administration Won d
welcome an extra session, es
pecially if it can escape the re
sponsibilitV for seeming to
have had any hand in bring
ing it about. First, there ia
the Ship Subsidy bill. 1t may
be possible to force it thro'
at this session, but it looks
very doubtful now. In the
next Congress. the republl-
can majority will be increas-
ed in both House and Senate,
not to mention the retire
ment of several of this bills
most vigorous opponents
from the Senate, and most Of
the new members will be rea.
dy to fall over themselves to
do the bidding of the admin
istration, which will make
its passage much easier
Next, there is a revenue re-
ductiOn bill. The outside
limit named by Mr.. 'McKin-
ley was $30,OO0,0O0. 1t cal
ries a reduction of more har
$40, 900, 900, and it is no Sc
cret that the administration
would rather see the bill
hung up in some way thar
passed in it's present shape
; although Mr.. Mckinley viii
sign it, OF course, if it passes
Nobody need be surprised tc
see some parliamentary skil
displayed by the administra
tion Senators when the bill
gets before the Senate, to
bamboozle the public. Per-
haps the republicans will ado
amendments solely to pro
woke a fight on the bill by
I democratic Senators. Last
ly, there is the decision OF th'
Supreme Court IN those co
lonial cases. If it be an ad
verse one, Mr.. Mckinley viii
be glad to have some Other
excuse for calling Congress
together to remedy bis blum
ders.
: Senator Hawley has giver
advance dotice of his inten
ftion to antagonize the ShiI

A youne man who has always had a
desire to be a war correspondent seized
the opportunity offered by the Boer
war and went to South Africa to rep
resent syndicate. He was exception
ally well fitted by nature for just the
kind of hard work that he expected to
do. The only drawback was that his
expectations fell far below the reality.
There was more hardship and less
glitter about the war correspondent
business than he had expected He
stuck it through, had bad attack of
fever and came home reduced in flesh
and subdued in spirit. To friend who
asked him if he intended to follow
any more armies, he said:
mo, sir; my ambition has changed.
What 1 now hope to do is TO get a lit
tie plot of ground In New Jersey and
plant geraniums there in the spring.
Then / want to sit beside them all
summer and watch them grow. / am
willing to give the. other fellows the
chance at war."-New York Sun.

VACCINATION.
How the Discovery of the Preventive
Virns Was Made and Applied.

How the Discovery of the Preventive
Virus Was Made and Applied.
During the eighteenth century 1t was
common talk among the country peo-
pie of England and Scotland that milk
ers of cows never had the smallpox
At 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 1796 he proved that
incubation with cowpox virus carried
protection against smallpox. He wrote
a pamphlet on his experiments and
sent 1t to the Royal College of Physi-
clans in London. The manuscript was
returned with a contemptuous reply.
The discovery was of too great import

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 a 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 and bookbind-
ing are taught to the advanced and
older classes.
Each boy receives a small remuner-
alton for his work when it 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.

A Failure in COopering.

A certain man who was once a prom
inent Kentucky politician was more
a demagogue than a statesman. He
was, according to Short Stories, in the
habit of Boosting that his father was a
cooper in an obscure town in the State
that he was zone of the people," and
didn't belong to the 'kid-gloved arts
tocracy."
The generals" great failing being
his fondness for liquor, it will surprise
no one to be told that the more he
drank the more loudly he detained
his political sentiments and the proud
er of being the son of cooper he be
came. During a political campaign,
where his opponent was the Southern
orator, Tom Marshall, he had been I'M
usually noisy and offensive in his
boasting regarding his obscure origin.
In replying, Marshall said, looking
hard at the general:
Fellow citizens, my opponents
father may have been a very good
"COPPER" don't deny that,-but l do
say, gentleman, that he put a mighty
poor head into that whisky barrel"

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
has demonstrated the value of vaccina-
ton beyond the possibility of doubt.
In Chemnitz, Germany, a city of 3d.
600 inhabitants, there was q smallpox
epidemic in 1S70-71. About $4,000 OF
the inhabitants had been vaccinated.
Only Is per cent of them contracted
the disease. OF the unvaccinated more
than 46 per cent were i'll. Among the
cases resulted fatally. Among the I'M
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 a widespread cpl
demic of smallpox the German lost
only $50 men from the disease. while
the French lost %, 400. In general it
has been shown that the danger of in
lection is six times as great and the
mortality siXty-eight times as great in
the unvaccinated as in the vaccinated.
Vaccination is compulsory through
out most of Europe. In France the law
is loosely enforced and the London
Daily Mail is authority for the state
ment that 1900 Frenchmen die an
nually from the disease, while it car
ries off only 10 Germans a year The
parents of every child born in England
must, within six months after the
child's birth, have it vaccinated by a
registered medical practitioner or by
the public vaccinator. In case a par
ent believes vaccination will be harm
full to his child he can secure eXemp-
ton by taking oath before two justices
Of the peace before the child is four
months old. By such stringent meth
DDS as these England and other count
ries have prevented the recurrence of
those epidemics which were so dis
astrous a century ago. The case is one
where the ounce of prevention is
worth several pounds of cure.
