INCUBATION IN ENGLAND.
1t was Lady Mary Wortley Montagu
Who introduced Ii.

1t was Lady Mary Wortley Montagu
who first introduced incubation for
smallpox in England. While residing
in Belgrade in I'LL she saw the Turks
practice "engrafting," as they called
it, to produce a mild form of smallpox
and stay its ravages. She examined
the process and, being convinced of its
efficacy, applied it to her three year old
son. On her return to England She
introduced it in London. At that time
il 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
it proved perfectly successful.
But instead of Lady Mary being ac-
knowledgcd as public bcnefactor
she was prosecuted with the most re
lentless hostility. The faculty rose TO
a man against her Even the clergy
descanted on the awful impicty of seek
inc TO take events out of the hands Of
Providence The common people were
urged to boot her as an unnatural moth
er who had risked the lives of her own
children. However, the Princess of
Wales, afterward Queen Caroline. stood
her friend. and truth and reason finally
prevailed. 1t was about the year 1152
that Lady Montagu was honorcd 10y Il
monument erected to commemorate
EnCland'S gratitude TO her for intro-
ducing incubation.
DR.. Edward Jenner substituted cow
pox incubation in 1899. He lived to be
rewarded by parliament by grant of
100000 and later by second grant of
100000, and in 1858 a statue was
erected to him in London Only n bare
credit was youchsafed to Lady Mary
Wortley Montagu, who bore all the per-
secution without any of the pecunary
reward she was entitled TO and by no
means a fair share of tire glory.

Reporting of plants becomes necessa-

In watering the primrose observe

it, This is fatal to the health of the

dals, but that affair is such ancient
history that it is altogether forgotten
or was never known to the present
generation. So that the exposures of
the horse purchasing scandals have
come as Il genuine shock to the moral
lists who have been fond Of holding up
the British virtues for other nations to
copy.
Recently it has come to light through
the medium of French horse dealer
that frauds before which those of the
Crimean times pale have been perpe-
trated. This individual stated to
newspaper correspondent that he was
making fortune out of the English
by selling them the most wretched
crooks of horses, only fit for the bone
yard, at prices that were simply as
founding. The officers who bought the
horses knew very well that they were
doctored. All they wanted was to ship
over as many heads as was possible
in given number of days, and no one
can maintain that they did not succeed
in this questionable purpose. The war
could probably have been concluded by
this time If Lord Kitchener had been
provided with fit and proper horses.
The secret Of De Vets mobility is at
last out, and the inability Of the Brit
ish commanders to catch him is ex-
planned, because their horses were not
equal to the task.
While these criticisms OF the war Of
fee are being publicly aired there is
proceeding beneath the surface a re-
volt that threatens to be of even great
er importance. Leading officers in the
volunteers, many of them noblemen,
are working against Mr.. Brodrick's
new volunteer regulations. Mr.. Brod-
rick wants CONSUMPTION. Should his
idea prevail the volunteers would cease
to be an effective force and furnish the
war Office with a strong argument for
compulsory military service.
These are some Of the disagreeable
outgrowths of the South African war
which John Bull must now face.

TRANSPOSED CITIES.
An Amusing and Instructive Gam
to Play at Recess.

Here is game which will help you
wonderfully with your geography les
sons and which, besides being hard
enough to make you sharpen your wits
to their keenest edge, is just heaps of
fun. 1t will help you to remember the
names and location of cities in a real
ly remarkable way, and when you win
the game you can pride yourself upon
being pretty near the head of your
class in geography.
The game may be played by either
boys or girls or both, but there should
not be more than six players, or the
game will be too long for your recess
time. Each player must write on the
blackboard some one or two words that
when the letters are changed around
will spell the name of some city. Aft
err this word or words must be written
the name of the state in which that
city is situated. For instance, some
one might write Tory, New York. OF
course that would be Troy. New York,
when the letters are properly arrang-
ed. Some one else might write Sob
Not, Massachusetts. When the letters
of these words are transposed, they
would read Boston, Massachusetts.
When all the players have written
on the board, then each one tries to
solve the meaning of what the others
have written. Each must write his
answers down on a piece of paper
without telling any one else what they
are, and when all have finished then
each one writes on the board the cor
rect answers to his or her words after
the words he or she has written be-
fore.
Now comes the scoring. You score
two points for every one of the words
that you solve correctly, but you are
minus one point for every one that you
make a mistake on-that is, every time
you guess wrong one point is taken
away from your score. If any one
should give the wrong state after the
word that, when changed, is the name
of his city, that one is minus two
points. Then all points are reckoned,
and the one with the largest score
wins that game. You will have time
for two or three games before recess
is over

FIRST Justice to Wear Gown.

vised the war department of their war
fare upon the rats of that town. The
authorities, on the recommendation of
surgeons, have set aside $500, and
that sum will be utilized in an effort to
exterminate the vermin. There was
much discussion of the manner in
which the money could be used most
protitably, and it was decided that it
would be most effective to expend it
in the form of a bounty offered to
whoever was able to kill rat. The
young Filipino boys have hailed the

DRUMMERS IN THE BEURS.

ed Remarkable Privilege.
The boys of Amsterdam are happy
in the possession of very curious
privilege which has been theirs for
nearly 300 years. During one week at
I midsummer they gather every after
noon by hundreds and even thousands
in the Dam, the great square in the
center of the city, each boy with
drum slung over his shoulder.
So soon as the business of the day is
pverin the Beurs, or Stock Exchange,
Y which faces the square, as many of the
boys as can crowd into the building
~ are allowed to go upon the floor of the
exchange, where for an hour or two
they march about, singing and beating
r. upon their drums.
The din is appalling, but the good

cry and discontinue of a Spanish plot
against the city in the year 1922. At
that time. after half a century of war

Spain to concede its independence, and
Amsterdam had become the chief com
mercial city of the world.
But the Spaniards were very bitter
over the loss of their rich provinces in
