Quite sensation was caused In Boston
Saturday, when the board of health an
nounced that DR.. Emmanuel Pfeiffer, who
voluntarily exposed himself to smallpox
at the hospital on Galloupe's island about
two weeks ago, was iii with smallpox in
its worst form at his home In Bedford,
and probably could not live. DIR. Pfeiffer
is one of the strongest opponents Of vac
cination In the state, and recently appear
ed before the legislative committee to
urge the repeal of the compulsory vac
cination law. Having the courage of his
convictions, he went to Galloupe's island
and completely exposed himself to small
pox. He then returned to Charleston
where he remained until day or two ago;
when he disappeared. 1t was found that
he had been taken In public carriage
from Charlestown to house In the west
end at Boston, where he remained about
two hours, and then was taken In another
public carriage to Bedford. 1t is proba-
bic that many persons have been exposed
to the disease, including all who have rid
den In the two carriages since DIR. Pfeif-
fer was removed In them. DR.. Pfeiffer
gained notoriety come time ago by fasting
for a month.

Mrs. Addie Bixby, .Upham, superin-
tendent of the department of franchise for
the Minnesota Woman's Christian Tenn
perance Union and president of the Lady
Henry Somerset Union Of st. Paul, was
born Feb. 5. 1851, in Aurora, Steele
county, MINI, being a farmers daughter.
She attended Carleton college in 1881 to
1884, meanwhile teaching in her home
school district two terms. Oct. %, 1885,
she was married to Warren Upharn, an
assistant during several years previously
on the Minnesota geological survey, and
from 1885 to 1898 an assistant on the
United States geological survey. Mr.. and
Mrs. Upham lived In Somerville, Mass,
nearly eight years, until 1898. In 1889
she was elected by a large majority to
membership for term of three years on
the city school board, which comprised
twelve members, the population of Somer-
vile being then about $1,000. During the
greater part Of her term she was the only
woman member of the board.
Returning to Minnesota in 1898, Mr.. and
Mrs. Upham resided In Minneapolis near
.ly two years; they then were in Cleve-
land, Ohio, several months, his position
there being that Of librarian of the West

ing perfection as it is to bring up the
little ones in our own families. Every
breeder that takes pride in his calling
knows how important is the business of
correctly raising the dairy calf, and it
is only the INDECENT half-hearted dairy
man who is willing to go out and buy
such a cow or calf after it has been
raised" She takes the calf as the raw
material for her 'machine'' and then sees
that it is properly constructed and has
a competent engineer to run it. She says
that nine out of every ten CT the calves
she raises turns out successful dairy
cows.
Mrs. HOWE is woman of fine educa-
ton and cultu and competent to grace
the very best society. She is woman Of
means; but she is so intensely interested
in her work that she leaves her luxurious
home and travels all over the state In all
kinds of conveyances and in all kinds Of
weather in order to inculcate her Ideas
into the farmer and to try to make them
understand that farming is science and
not drudgery Mrs. HOWE is wintering

and lived in the country until they were 81
years old, most of them doing hard manual
labor. When they did take up their studies
they had good health, strong bodies and clear
brains Little children should live out in the
country like little colts until the age of 8
years, when the average child will be found
ready, physically to take up School work.
Numerous other authorities on these mat
tiers have agreed that 1t is mistake to send
children to school before the ninth year.
Eight years should be given to developing
a good physical condition and preparing the
brain as a storage-house for knowledge.
Beyond this point in the treatment of the
child educators and others differ widely. One
condemns candy, another favors it in modera-
ton. Opinions are divided greatly as to the
use Of the rod and the benefits or otherwise
derived from lavish bestowals of endearing
terms from proud parents and grandmothers.
But all ARE agreed as to thing, and that
Is that the child should not be sent to school

TO PRESERVE PAPER BOOKS.

l have discovered easy way to prolong
the life Of paper-bound volumes. With ordi-
nary paste, made from -four or starch, paste
a piece of calico or Bingham to the paper
covers The cloth should be in one piece,
just as the paper covering is. Dry under a
weight to prevent curling. The paper cover
ing is usually we'll glued to the back Of the
volume, but in use it soon breaks; the cloth
prevents this. If the cloth used is in a plain
color it may be 2ornamented with a few
stitches or strokes of the brush. This little
discovery has given me much pleasure, be-
cause I need no longer be ashamed Of the
appearance presented by the cheap edition
that must often buy, if am to read coy

animals served as models for the budding
artists. Neither wealth nor influence came
