tNOCULATlON IN ENGLAND.

1t was Lady Mary Wortley Montagu
who first introduced inocuiation for
smallpox in England. While residing
III Belgrade in 1717 she saw the Turks
practice "engrafting," as they called
1t, to produce a mild form of smallpox
and stay its ravages. She examined
the process and, being convinced of its
efficacy, applied 1t to her three-year old
son. On her return to England she
introduced it in London At that time
1t was computed that one person in ev-
cry seven died Of the smallpox. Yet
she was opposed by the entire medical
faculty. BY order of government an
experiment was made upon five per
sons then under sentence Of death, and
1t proved perfectly successful
But instead Of Lady Mary being ac
knowledged as a public benefactor
she was prosecuted with the most re-
lentless hostility. The faculty rose to

Wales, afterward Queen Caroline, stood
her friend, and truth and reason finally
prevailed. 1t was about the year 1852
that Lady Monragu was honored by a
monument erected to commemorate
England's gratitude to her for intro
ducing incubation.
Dr. Edward Jenner substituted COW
pox incubation in 1890 He lived to be
rewarded by parliament by grant Of
100000 and later by n second grant Of
100000, and in 1858 statue was
erected TO him in London. Only bare

FLOWER AND TREE.

Heavy pruning of growing trees will
check growth.
Flowering plants should never be
watered with cold water. 1t chills the
plants.
The Madeira vine Is one of the best
climbers, having a wreath of leaves
equaled by few other plants.
Reporting of plants becomes necessa-
ry ut intervals for two reasons. The
plant uses up the available fertility In
the soil and fills the pots with roots.
The ink plant of New Granada is a
curiosity. The juice of it can be used
as ink without any preparation. At
first the writing is red, but after a few
hours it changes to black.
In watering the primrose observe
this: Water should not be poured upon
the crown of the plant nor the pot filled
so full that the water flows over into
It, This is fatal to the health of the
plant.
To destroy aphides or plant lice dip
the ends of the twigs into a strong tea
made by sleeping tobacco stems in hot
water or syringe with whale oil soap
suds repeating the operation in six or
seven days.
