= Mr.. Lewis and family have made
many friends since their resident
here and hope that some transaction
will transpire that they will remain
here. When the report became cur
rent on the street Tuesday morning
that Mr.. Lewis had sold out, re-
grets we're expressed that he was
going to leave but upon learning
that he was to continue in the bust
ness sentiment of gladness was ex-
pressed as he was well liked in bust
ness circles and a man of his extern
sive acquaintance character and per-
sonaltiy brought many people in to
the town from a distance that would
not have come here had it not been
for doing business with Peter Lewis.

SMALLPOX INFECTION.

Contrary to what is sometimes
thought, it appears to be established
that laundries do not diffuse small
pox, the process of washing being
an efectural disinfectant. On the
other hand, those who handle dry
linen incure great risk. Some
rather staggering facts have been
brought to light by the prevailing
epidemic in London. It seems that
the anti-vaccinatoinists have been
only too successful. Out Of 81
children attacked, under Is, 81 ICON
siderably more than half) had not
been vaccinated, and 80 died. Of
these 3S one child only had been
vaccinated. In another group, out
of "a vaccinated children who con-
tracted the disease-in some cases
very probably before the operation
one only died. OF the cases in
London up to the present time, al
most exactly one in three has proved
fatal, the mortality being three
times as great among the unvacci-
mated as among those who were pro-
tected by vaccination. Neither
these nor any other figures show
how large number of persons ex-
posed to the contagion escaped the
disease altogether in consequence of
vaccine protection. Baltimore Sun.

Human Bodies Well Preserved.

Human remains recently unearthed
at Girga. in Egypt, consist of con-
tinuous series, extending backward
over at least 5000 years. The bodies
are SO well preserved owing to the dry
ness of the atmosphere in the region
and to the perfection of interment that
not only can the hair, the nails, the
ligaments be made out, but also the
muscles and the nerves. In almost
every case the brain also is preserved
and the climax has been reached in
two cases where the eyes with the
lens in good condition are present
There are now unearthed series OF
later prehistoric graves ranging
throughout the first fifteen dynasties
others of the eighteenth" and yet 9th
ers of the Ptolemaic and early and re-
cent Coptic periods.

A Chinese Ceremonial.

Some time ago H. E. Jung. the gov
ernor of this province (Taiyuen) made
a sacrifice to the ''god of dragons ana
the dragons of the five lakes and four
seas" and prayed them for rain, says
the Shanghai Mercury. But, as MS
sacrifice seemed not to have been ac-
cepted and his prayer not granted, the
governor was thus made rather angry,
and consequently he ordered paper
dragon to be constructed representing
the dragon of drought" Yesterday
afternoon a procession took place, IN
which the governor brought the paper
dragon to the outside of the south
gate. where he informed the high
heaven that he was going to execute
it for having taken away all the rain
that should be given to the people OF
Shanse, At about $3.50 o'clock, imme-
diately after the report of three guns,
an executioner, clad in red, came up to
the dragon of drought" and with
long and shining sword he cut the
dragon into seven pieces. After read
ing another prayer to the high heaven
and the other dragons. the governor
ordered the executed dragon to b
burned. When this was done he 70
turned to his yamep.
