The little daughter of fashionable

deal about the things that have come
in" or gone out" of style. After a
visit to Sunday school she attempted
to repeat to her younger brother some
of the miracles performed by our

"Do you believe that, sister,"
why, of course | believe it, Jacky.

"Oh, they don't now" she replied
in a superior tone "All that sort of
thing was years ago and has gone en-.

Upon one occasion she had visited
several stores with her mother dur

were returning home they passed a
market. with its wares displayed in
the window.
"Oh, mamma" she cried. Look,

Deceived the Natives.

Only few weeks ago il was an
nounced to the world that vaccination
was not new thing, but that, on the
contrary. it had been known ages ago
to the natives of India. II was Lord
Ampthill who made the claim for the
antiquity of cowpox incubation His
lordship quoted as his authority a
passage from book by Dhawantaria.
the greatest of the ancient physicians.
in which vaccination was clearly de-
scribed. Now, however, il is said that
this passage was merely an interpo-
lation. The British Medical Journal
tells the following story of IL.
According to Sir John Malcolm. a
well-known Scotch surgeon. on the in
PRODUCTION of vaccine incubation into
India. the practice met with great Oh.
position from the natives. In order
to overcome their prejudices Mr. Ellis
OF Madras, who was well versed in
Sanskrit literature, composed a short
poem on vaccination i'm that language.
This poem was inscribed on old
paper and was said to have been Just
discovered. The object of the pious
fraud was that the impression of vac.
cination's antiquity might help to rec
oncile the minds of Brahmins to the
use of a prophylactic drawn from

In the GAYS Of Old,

1t is curious to discover among the
fossils of extinct prejudices what il

woman to do, from time to time. Han.

ported herself by literary work in
America, was also the first to patron.

and the Bostonians-of all people
thought ii was not proper" of her.
Neither was it proper of a woman at
that time to attend lectures, or any
kind of public assemblage not de-
voted to religion. When Lucretia
Mott and the Grimke sisters first be-
gan a lecture for the cause of aboli.
ton, the chairman of the local com.
mittee would Introduce them and then
promptly leave the hall as 1t was not
proper for a woman to lecture to an
audience containing men. Two gener-
atoms ago in New York il was not
proper for a woman to enter drug
store alone. One doesn't think of
those conservative persons. the nuns.
as pioneers in the rights of the sex.
Yet the first nuns who opened a
school for girls in European centuries
ago were stoned in the streets.

The Record of Emotions.

We cannot always charge it to old
age when we find our foreheads are
crossed with a distressing network of
tiny lines. IL is not always age that
makes those disagreeable rows across
our foreheads and around the eyes.
There are some grandmothers whose
faces have hardly wrinkle and som
granddaughters whose brows are as
scanned as they might be lat CO. Time
Is net responsible for these vexing
little lines A good many of them
may be charged up against worry. Ii
one gets in the habit Of fretting over
everything that has gone wrong and
everything one thinks likely to go
wrong, the record upon ones face
will be a mark which is hard to erase
and is far uglier than the lines the
happy years bring.-Philadelphia In
