Vaccination for Smallpox.

London Telegraph: A furious debate, IL
is more than probable, will rage round
the smallpox outbreak on the merits Of
vaccination Most sensible persons have
made up their minds on that subject.
Meanwhile there Is an equally indispen-
sable ~precaution, and one which has the
health to the community, and NOT merely
the negative virtue of comforting immu-
nifty from one disease-we must secure
such conditions as tend to arrest or pre-
vent smallpox. Glasgow last year set an
example for all municipalities. Every in
fected area, every ~insanitary court or al
ley, was subjected to vigorous and sys-
tematic disinfection, and these measures,
with the immediate isolation of the sick
and vaccination of those exposed to con-
tagion, stayed the epidemic.
In some respects smallpox resembles
h~ydrophobia. In neither of these terri
bic diseases has the bacillus been discov-
cred, though little doubt exists that both
them Burden, Sanderson, Klein, Crook
shank and Copeman, have demonstrated
the presence of bacteria In cowpox or
vaccine lymph, but as DIR. Newman says
to this day, the nature of the specific
virus awaits discovery" AS In rabies also
vaccination is effective after as we'll as
before the contagion. Administered to a
patient showing ~incipient symptoms-and,
of course, In the early stages Of tit
ameliorates the attack, just as Pasteur's
does I'm the case Of persons Bit

a S~CULPTOR'S IDEA.
William Ordway Partridee's Concep-
ton Of Jesus,

Success: William Ordway Partridge,
the eminent sculptor, who spent e "
eral years in the Holy Land, gathering
the information and inspiration for a
group in which the Savior will be the
central figure, writes Interestingly on
Christ as an ideal, successful la The
Following is an extract from Mr.. Par
tridge's article:
In regard to personal appearance,
we n him commanding in figure,
slight of build, of serious mien, with
eyes that were as tender as O fawn's,
n yet able to flash FIRE as he drove
the money changers down the portico
of Herod. A man makes an impression
IN the east either by his great train OF
followers n the splendor Of his ac-
couterments, or by his personal ap-
pearance; and, when the master stood
on the shore Of Galilee and called to
his apostles, who were then but simple
fishermen, there was something In his
personal mien, and something In the
voice so unusual that these rough fish
ermen cast their nets aside and fol-
lowed him unhesitatingly. Therefore,
we must think Of him not only as the
ideal man in the point of scholarship,
but also in physical aspect. 1t is inter-
eSting to stand on the spot where most
or his ministry was spent, and watch,
as the writer has done, the fisherman
gather in his net. as a Vaquero gathers
his l~assoo, and throw it's quivering line
far out into the lake. The scene has
changed but little, except for the lack
Of fertility, and the absence of the
noble Roman portiCos and baslllca,
which stood at Capernaum in Herod's
reign. Beyond scholarship and per-
sonal appearance, we must look for
some more important feature, to I'M
dcrstand the influence which this car
pcnter's son eXerted throughout Pales-
tine. We do not realize, until we ar,
In Jerusalem, on the site Of the tenn
pie, how greatly that influence was felt
and how it shook old traditions to their
foundations. Not only a few hundred
stragglers, but also thousands upon
thousands Of people followed him from
place to place. To the very last, he had
an opportunity to claim the temporal
sovereignty OF the land, at will, but
what makes his character stand out in
strongest contrast with that OF Mo-
BANNED n other prophets is hat his
kingdom was one OF spirit, and not one
built with hands. From the time one
enters Jerusalem, during the hour
In which the traveller passes Mount
Hermon, the personality Of the master
Is ever present in the surroundings Of
the Jordan river, and, indeed, In the
Syrian desert. 1t is so in like measure
with all great spirits. One cannot go
to Stratford and pass q few hours in
the old house in Henley street without
feeling the Shakespearean spirit in the
air. So, ever in material things, does a
great personality become immortal

WON'T TELL WHO SHOT HIM.
Wait Till Pm Better" Says Little
Johnnie to His Mother.

New York Herald: Winsted, Conn.,
Lying in the arms of his sobbing moth
er, his little form throbbing with pain,
Johnnie, the ~l2-year-old son of Mrs,
Grammar OF this place, would not tell
her this afternoon how he had been
shot a short time before.
"When / am better, l will
tell you who shot me and how 1t hap
pened,' he sobbed. But it may be that
the little chap will never be able TO
give an account of n mysterious shoot
ing today in the woods on Wetmore
hill, near here.
He and three COMMUNICATIONS
Murphy, Theodore Moore and Walter
Hill-all Winsted boys and older than
Johnnie, had gone out on a hunting ex-
pedlticn early this morning, expecting
to be gone all day.
Starting toward home through the
woods, on Wetmore hill, Johnnie, Who
was the only one of the party who did
not nave a gun, was a little in advance
or u other boys, and was peering
through a clump OF bushes when, as
the report of a gun broke the stiffness,
ne grasped at his throat and fell.
lie had been shot in the Chin, a bull
let passing through his throat. where
the physicians, when they came 20 ex-
anime him later On. lost track OF it.
For an instant the other boys were
paralyZed with terror and excitement.
ana the they rushed to where John
ME lay. While two of them remained
by him, stauching his wound with their
handkerchiefs, the other ran to carry
the terrible news to Johnnie's mother.
She knew that perhaps her boys life
depended upon her not breaking down
and she lost no time in summoninr
n~eighbors and n physician and ell hur-
ried to the spot.
Running to him she took him in her
arms, n 1t was then that he told her
ne would tell her everything when he
was BETTER but ever in his pain and
weakness loyalty stood by his comrades
for he must have believed the bullet
came from one Of their guns.
The physician would not let the bows
mother try to make him talk any more,
and his story Of the, shooting may never
be told.
Tenderly the WOUNDED lad was car
ried to his home, and later he was re-
moved to st. Francis hospital, in Hart
ford.
None Of the other boys can explain
how Johnnie was shot. They say the
bullet did not come from any one of
their guns, and declare it must have
been the work Of some other hunter.
who Is even yet ignorant of the evil
his rifle wrought.

A BIacksm,rn,s STORY.

Goodland, Kan, Dec. 23.-N. Il. Al
Dertson, q local blacksmith, had almost
decided to give up his shop altogether
on account Of Rheumatism, which had
crippled him so that Mt times he could
not use his hammer.
His shoulders and arms were so sore
that he couldn't sleep at night. lie
had suffered for years, but was grad
ually getting worse till at last he had
about made up his mind to give up.
But just then he heard Of some won
derful cures Of rheumatism by Dodd's
Kidney Pills and thought lie would try
for a cure once more.
They cured him completely and he
has not n trace of Rheumatism left.
The shop will not be given mp and Mr.,
Albcrtson may be seen there any day
hard at work as II nothing had ever
allied him.

BRITISH OFFICER At PLAY.
Polo and Pig Sticking His Favorite
Amusementa.

Windsor Magazine: OF late the world
a seen the British officer at work.
His energy is always In evidence to
those who have eyes to see all through
the piece. When 1t cannot find express
sion in the fulfllment of actual duties
1t shows itself in other and widely diff
ferent forms, but In no way rs it more
strongly evidenced thar when the Brit
ish officer Is at play, and 1t is a fact
which allows of no contradiction hat
outside he game of "a itself there is
nothing like sport to fit the soldier for
his profession. Our troops have al
ways been led by men who possess the
inherent love of the A~nglo-Saxon for
hard exercise n vigorous play, and
in this respect have been the envy Of
other nations. One of the sports to
which the English cavalry officer whose
regiment is sent to India invariably
falls n victim is polo, and When once
attacked he is quite unable to free him
self from the infatuation, but carries
1t with him wherever he goes, and
passes on the enthusiasm to those Of
his friends who are lovers OF horse
flesh. With many sports, unless a real
understanding and mastery Of them are
obtained In early youth, no amount OF
patient practice In later life will recov-
er the lost ground. But polo is diff
ferent. Not only can 1t be learned
quickly, but the pupil may become an
expert at an age when proficiency and
success in other games are out Of the
question. This is, perhaps. n of the
reasons why the English officer takes
so readily to the eastern game. To him
1t is a change from the sports OF his
YOUTH, and with this added zesu OF nov
city he speedily masters the game and
proves himself no unworthy match for
the natives, whose national pastime II
is. ON their return to England the var
lous regiments continue to play polo
and TO oppose n another. The inter
regimental tournament, the greatest
event of the year In English polo cir
throughout the social world, and fash
ionable crowds flock to the match
ground. II. r. H., the duke OF Cam
bridge, always takes an interest in the
matches and has frequently presented
the cup to the victorious team. Polo
in Indian military circles is probably
the most highly favored OF any pas
m Second only to polo in the eyes
of the sporting officer in India is pig
sticking. In this sport Lord Roberts
and his eVer-to-be-lamented and val
liant son were experts. Whenever the
opportunity presented itself the hero
or Candahar would put on one side the
sterner duties of life to accept an invi-
tatton to visit the forests OF some
friendly maharaja and would enter into
the spirit of the sport with all the zest
or his energetic character.
