Vaccination in London.


The statistics of smallpox in London,
England, when 400 cases had been re-
ported up to Saturday last, present a
tough nut for the anti-vaccinationists
to crack. The rate Of mortality among
the vaccinated was 20 per cent. among
the unvaccinated, 80.
All Of the twenty y-three smallpox pa
tients under i've years of age were un-
vaccinated, and nineteen died. Of
those under ten all but one were vac
.cinated, and twenty-nine out forty
two died Of eighty-one children un-
der fifteen years of age ffty-seven we're
unvaccinated and thirty-eight died !;
twenty-four we're vaccinated and
=twenty-three of them recovered. Out
of fourteen unvaccinated patients over
forty years Of age twelve died. These
specific cases are more impressive
than the total, but even this shows
an immense advantage for the vacci-
mated. The disease seems to have
taken on very virulent type in Lon
don, judging by the number of deaths.
1t is said that it is not true that the
poorest districts have suffered most,
but that no part of London has been
exempt.-Courier Journal.

He eats too much, drinks too freely

ELEVATOR MANNERS.


The south is the only part Of the
country whore the habit Of removing
their hats when they find ladies in an
elevator is generally observed by gen
tlemen. Washington is largely a
southern city and this custom is re-
garded by majority Of men there,
though it is nothing like as common
as it is in Atlanta and other distinct
ly southern cities.
An effort is being made to abolish
the habit of removing hats in eleva-
tors.
In the corridors of several large Office
buildings notices have been conspicu-
ously posted to the effect that good
taste does not require this courtesy.
1t is said, however, that the men
behave Just as they formerly did when
riding in elevators with lady passen-
gers. Those who were in the habit of
removing their hats continue to do so
regardless of the gratuitous. informa-
ton that good taste does not require
that mark of respect for ladies. These
gentlemen prefer to decide matters ..of
taste for themselves and not leave
them to the proprietors or janitors of
Office buildings.
It is, of course, a question of taste
whether men should take off their
hats when riding in elevators with
ladies. Some men see no sense in it,
and therefore do not do it. Others
consider it courteous and respectful to
observe the custom and would feel
uncomfortable if they we're compelled
to keep their hats on when they met
ladies in elevators. law or notice
In Office buildings or anywhere can
carry into effect notices that gentle
men should not remove their bats In
elevators and so every man will con-
tinue to do as he pleases about the
matter.
We expect to see our present custom
observed by men generally IN the
south for long time to come
