Compulsory Vaccination.

DR.. g. 0. B. Wingate, secretary of the
state board of health, is quoted as fol
lows:
I'm my opinion vaccination should
not only be compulsory, but vaccine
virus which is used should be under the
inspection of the government. [ would
even favor that the whole matter of
vaccination be regulated by the govern
ment and that a government institu-
tion for the propagation of the virus
be established. Ii this were done the
sale of impure virus would be rendered
impossible and the great amount Of sick
ness which is now caused from the
incubation Of impure vaccine and the
number of unsuccessful vaccinations
would be reduced to the minimum"
We agree with the doctor that the
virus furnished patients should be pure,
50 should the drugs furnished by the
druggists for the use in other cases, but
his opinion that vaccination should be
compulsory is quite another thing. ANY
attempt to enforce such law should be
met with resistance by the people AS d
member Of the state board Of health he
has a right to his opinion as he mas t.
his private opinion, but such opinions
should not be taken seriously. The
people have rights which even the state
or congress cannot take away from them
by legislation. The next we may expect
| is law compelling an operation for ap-
| pendicltls upon every child born in the
| State-W atertOWn Daily Times.

A TEAR ON THE IRON.

The shop is cold and comfortless;
hold the iron, stand and press;
My heart is weak, l cough and groan;
My sick breast scarcely heaves its.
moan.
1 cough and groan. and press emo
brood;
There drops tear, in vain withstood.
On the glowing iron seethes my tear.
It. seethes and will not disappear.
My hand grows numb, my strength Is
gone;
The iron falls, but still upon
It's cruel surface, as before,
It's the silent tear seethes more ana
more.
While whirls my head and breaks ICY
heart,
| ask with woe, with singing smart.
why is it, friend, in grievous lot,
Thy seething still consumes thee noe.
Art thou a herald, sent to say
More tears and more are ON the way
O, but fain would hear thee-fain
Would learn the limit of my Pain.
7 would have questioned close and clear
That strange Unrest, that maddened
tear,
But, 10. a river gushed and spread
OF tears, tears, tears, unlimited.

Saw that the Floo- of Tears is deep.

WOMAN AS SHE is IN SURoPE,

More occupations Open to Her There
Than in This Country.
Women in America, it is thought
are now engaged in mans occupation
to an astonishing degree. But the
innovation is carried still farther in
france
In Holland, Germany and Switzer-
land women take part, as a matte
of course, in all the labors of asri-
culture. They till the fields, cut the
corn and gamer the crops.
On the streets of Munich womea
are employed to keep the car lines
clean, and they are especially uniform
ed for the purpose, in short skirts.
Bavaria being we'll supplied with
forests, wood is largely used for fl J,
and along the curb of Munich streets
women frequently stand and sell then
f1rewood. IN Zurich there are womel,
bOOtblacks.
In several continental cities women
Go light gardening jobs, like keeping
in order the borders and gravel paths
OF public parks. In Germany the rail.
way stations have woman ticket
agents.
In some of the European art gal
leries women are engaged to take
care of the visitors sticks and UNI
brellas. They are also custodians of
museums, as the Swiss National
Museum, where one of the galleries is
in entire charge Of a woman.-New

A MCNODY FOR MARY,

Not in the calm autumnal weather,
Not while winds did wildly rave,
Not till loved spring had knit together
The sods upon thy grave
Dear Mary, did thy lifetime lover
Dare to lift his note of woe,
Or wall as walls the widowed plover
What time the fowler turns to go.
Not till the month that mildly closes
Had decked thy grave with tender
care,
Starr'd the green grass with pale
primroses,
And worked the blue-eyed violets
Did I, dear Mary, dare to darken
Hopes pearly crescent with my
pain,
Or ask a hurrying world to hearken
To this my sorrows hopeless strain.
But now that April-handmaid cherrie,
Has fringed the daisy's cap with
red;
And set, and lit, like gold lamps,
dearie,
These buttercups around thy bed
And sent, for thee, the skylark singing
Far up in the blue above,
|, in the grass myself down-finging,
Sob out my sorrow and my love-
Musings we of kindred mothers,
Playmates, and-O thought divine!
Long ere might made thee another's,
Virgin love had made thee mine.
Dream not, dear, my hopes were
blighted
When the joyless rites were GER
Souls like ours once pledged and
plighted,
Mated were forevermore
Whilst thou lived, the darkest NOR
Terror none could hold, for me;
Purified by patient sorrow,
Life, God-hallowed, still held thee.
Still had I hoped some day to meet
In the fields beloved of yore;
Hold out a kindly hand and greet
Call thee Mary" just once more.
But, as if to blast and Wither
All my fond hopes at blow,
Death stepped in and called thee
whittier
All, or soon Or late, must go.
Cold the mold is now about thee,
Lone thou in thy grave dost lie,
All the sunlit world, without thee,
Empty is, and hopeless I.
Yet these daisies upward springing,
Whisper that the dead are blest;
That their angels still are bringing
God good tidings of their rest.
| That they, too, some day shall waken
Spring up from the hallowed sod,
None forgot and none forsaken,
Happy souls beloved of God.
Moses Teggart.

BIRDS CARRY THE MAIL.
Postoffices Supplied by Pigeons Are to
be Established in Germany.

Postoffices Supplied by Pigeons Are to
be Established in Germany.
The military authorities of Germany
have been greatly encouraged of late
by the excellent results of expert
ments with pigeons as letter-carriers
The suggestion first came to them
during the siege of Paris, and since
then they have devoted much atten-
ton to the care and development OF
the carrier" or homing pigeon. All
owners of homing pigeons are COM
PEELED by law to put their birds at the
governments disposal in time Of
war.
Military pigeon post stations are
maintained at Strassburg, Mayence,
Cologne, Kie1 and other fortresses.
At Spandau a new one has just been
established, which is to be the head
quarters or general postoffice for the
whole service. Each floor of the
large Aour-story building contains
hundreds of dovecotes and the
southern front is inclosed by an in
mense netting, in which the birds may
take air and exercise.
There is also a Photographic es-
tablishment, for micro-photography is
impressed into the pigeon post serV-
ice. A message of several pages is
photographed on a bit OF thin col
lodion film as big as nickel, which
is slipped into quill and tied to a
tail feather of the messenger.
