VACCINATION
DISCUSSED.

The subject OF vaccination was
again discussed at last nights
meeting oi the Board Of Education.
The Health Committee which has
been in charge the work of seeing
that all pupils in the public schoo S
are properly vaccinated reported
that the work. was not yet complet.
ed but that they were getting along
as we'll as could be expected.
DR.. I. O. Cooper who is chair
man OF the Health Committee stated
that the committee was meeting
with some opposition from children
who had been vaccinated years ago
refused 10 be revaccinated.
DR.. Cooper stated that the laws
of the Board Of Education say that
the children shall be protected. AS
authorities differ as to how often
children should be vaccinated. DR..
Cooper asked President Shortlidge
for his opinion on the matter. The
President stated that in his opin.
ion child should be vaccinated a
year after it is born end once a
year there after. This he said
would stamp out The disease. DR..
Buckmaler stated that of all the
cases Of smallpox in Philadelphia
that have been removed to the pest
house, but five Of them had been
vacc'nated within seven years and
one but within five years,
The remainder OF the cases he
said had been vaccinated ter or
twelve years ago or not at ali.
This he said proves that vaccira.
tion is good thing.
Superintendent Twitmyer report
ed that at the present time there are
1856 pupils attending the puplc
schools. This he said is about $50
or IT'S less than we're attending
this time last year. The reason
for this he said is the smallpox
scare aud the extreme cold wealth.

A Philadelphia philosopher thus ex-
plains the general preference for wall
table in a restaurant: "rrimitive man
ate in peril. The cave bear, the saber
tooth tiger, even some warrior of his
own kind, was apt at any moment to
leap upon him and to devour his food
and perhaps himself Therefore he
took his meals with his back against a
cliff or in the corner of two adjoining
cliffs, if possible. and with the open
country before him. That, you see,
was the safest way for him to eat. He
could not then be surprised.
"And we still have in US that memory
of the primitive man, and we still un-
consciously, when we sit down to our
repasts. choose places that give us
wall for our protection. That and not

to pick out walls and corners. You can

ly to Washington to assume his office,
as originally intended, is going first to
make a visit to China. This will con-
sumo from four to six months, so that

season had now commenced l took the
opportunity to observe the process and
was taken round the factories by the
shcik. The dates selected are picked
before they are quite ripe. The fac
tory had a chimney about fifteen feet
high and contained several open, cir
cular, copper boilers, capable of hold
Ing five gallons each and nearly full Of
water. Into these vessels the dates are
put and allowed to simmer over slow
fire. AS the water in the copper de-
creased from evaporation 1t was filled
