SMALLPOX IN PHILIPPINES.

Disease Almost Entirely Eradicated
by Vaccination.
The records of the bureau of health
at Manila show that within the last
twelve months $4,000 people have been
vaccinated by officials and many more
by private physicians. When 1t Is re-
membered that Manfla's population Is
not more than 100000, it can be under
stood why, in the year ended Dec. 81,
1904, there were only twenty-seven
deaths from smallpox. Ten Of the
twenty seven were Europeans or Amer
leans who had neglected or avoided
vaccination, says the New York Trib-
une.
During the Spanish regime law ex-
listed making vaccination compulsory.
but the chief good which resulted from
the law was that the people became ac-
customed to it's existence on the statute
books and did not greatly object to it
or strenously resist it's application at
the hands of the Americans. In few
provinces difficulties were met In
these cases vaccinators were at once
withdrawn and the pueblos left to
themselves. Within six months the con-
trast between the vaccinated and un-
vaccinated pueblos was so marked that
the chief men of the objecting munich
palities requested the vaccinators to
return.
As smallpox Is epidemic and pam
demic in the Philippines, the necessity
for a division Of vaccination In the
board of health Is very great. The or
iginal plan was to organize corps Of
$50 vaccinators. That number was con-
sidered necessary in order to vaccinate
the inhabitants Of the islands within
three years. Owing to the depleted con-
dition of the insular treasury, the COM
mission has been unable to authorize
the employment of so large number.
and with the small number Of men
available the question arises whether
vaccination will not have to be prac-
ticed continuously for many years In or
der to immunize the 100000 inhabit-
ants who are now in those islands and
their offspring as 1t arrives.
Smallpox in the Philippines occupied,
prior to the advent OF the Americans,
about the same position in regard to it's
frequency, its mortality and its preva-
lence that it did in Europe prior to the
discovery Of vaccination. and as was
the case in Europe, so In the Philip
pines, 1T seems to be almost a disease
Of childhood. The explanation of this
Is that all natives who have reached
adult age were exposed to smallpox in
childhood. and those who did not con-
tract the disease may be considered i'm
mune. Smallpox in Manila is no longer
to be feared. according to the annual re-
port of the bureau of health for the
Philippine islands, and not SO many
cases occur In proportion to its inhab-
itants as in the cities of Washington
and Baltimore.

Cause of Fright.

She was delightfully."- fresh faxed
lassie and clearly from the country dis.
tricts, and as she walked up State
street more than one man turned to
look at her, expressing the pleasure she
gave to him by frank stare of admir-.
alton. Presently the happy look in her
eyes changed, of sudden, to one OF
sheer horror. With a gasp of alarm
she caught her companion by the arm,
and stood rooted in the middle of the
traffic. To have seen her face at that
moment one would easily have imagip-
ed that she was looking at nothing less
horrible than a cold blooded murder.
And yet when one spectator who had
caught the Transformation on her face
turned to see what had occasioned it's
expression Of shock and terror, al he
saw was the familiar spectacle In a
Chicago street Of the wheels OF one
wagon striking another.

TWO SIDES OF IT.

Mother Was Tired, hut She Did 1t
All for Daughters Sake.
For the whole week before the
Grantley's picnic Molly was on tiptoe
with delight The Grantleys were such
lovely people, and she had longed to
know them. Mollie's mother, watching
the girls happy face, thought proudly
that Stella Grantley was not bit
sweeter or prettier than Mollie. She
guessed folks would see 1t IL they were
not blind.
Molle, dancing into the kitchen
Tuesday afternoon, found her mother
ironing white shirt waist suit.
20 mother" she said, reproachfully,
II was going to do that!'
Il thought mebbe you wouldn't get
back in time," her mother answered.
ut was ever SO good of you," Mol
lie returned, absently. Mother, I've
just thought-don't you suppose could
make some Of those little spice cakes
before breakfast? 1 know nobody else
would have anything like those"
"Why, l guess you could" her moth
er answered.
"And stuffed eggs and chicken sand
wiches and olives" Mollie counted of
triumphantly. I'm not expected to
carry so much, but wanted people to
know what things my mother could
make. Besides, I do SO want them to
ask me again.
II sha'n't think much of them II they
DON'T" her mother declared.
that's cause you're mother" Mol
lie laughed, kissing her. Then I'll
make the cakes before breakfast"
When she came down to breakfast,
however, the cakes were all ready.
Mollie did not seem greatly surprised
she was, in fact, already dressed in her
white suit. At nine the blackboard
came, and mother at the back door
watched her ride away. There was not
any girl 50 pretty as MolIie
The day was one triumph for Mol
lie; she was quick and adaptable and
added much to the fun, and her sand
witches and spice cakes were voted un-
surp6ssable. That was In the morning.
In the afternoon the sky darkened sud
denly, and the horses were hurriedly
put into the blackboard; there was an
eight-mlle ride before them, and but
