SMALLPOX AGAIN.

While Brsttleboro is just emerging
from a several months siege with small
pox and we were congratulating our,
selves on having subdued the scourge in
the state, a case of the same nature
pops up in West Windsor. But warned
by the experiences of Brattleboro, the
attending physician Of the patient at
West Windsor at once reported his fears
to the secretary of the state board Of
health, with the result that strict quar-
antine has been declared. The steps to
prevent the spread Of the disease in the
most recent town to be afflicted have
been very prompt, and it seems reason
able to expect that there will not be a
widespread infection, although there
probably will be a number Of cases before
the outbreak is quelled. The only saliva
tion from an epidemic is the strict en-
forcement Of the quarantine regulations
and a decent cooperation on the part
Of the people Of the community. If the
latter wish to avoid Brattleboro's trying
experiences Of the past months, they
will most assuredly lend their support
to the efforts OF the state board Of
health.

While Secretary Wilson's reports are
teeming with figures showing the agri.
cultural advance in this country. Ii
must be remembered that the adricuI.
ture OF the fields has done no more
than to keep pace with the agriculture
Of the Office. Perhaps that is round
about way of saying it. the fact prob
ably being that the agriculture of the
Office has had its growth because Of
the advance in the agriculture Of the
fields. AT any rate, no department of
the government has grown as has the
agricultural department, as shown in
the report Of the appointment clerk Of
the department, just made public.
The bureau was established BIZ act
Of Congress in 1862. September Of the
following year there were % persons
employed. 1t was not tin 1881 that
there were more than 100 persons on
the roll.
From that time the growth was
gradual till 1891. Then the number of
employees sprang suddenly from 4ss to

weather bureau was incorporated with

The forestry bureau was established
under that name in 1ss. For the next
nine years It mad no more than seven

4r THE POPULAR FANCY.

The three millions Of Red Cross stamps
sold in New England this Christina:
mean $4,000 to fight tuberculosis Their
there is the sale Of the stamps through
out the country to add to this New
England popular contribution to the
good cause. Put the totals together
and there will be splendid sum. The
response that came to the appeal for
purchase of the stamps indicates the
kindly disposition on the part Of the
public, disposition to assist IN great
work even if the contribution be com
paratively small Probably q very large
proportion Of the stamps we're not used
but were placed away as proof pos
itin that one had contributed to a
good cause, or, it may be; the stamps
were thrown into the waste basket as
soon as bought, the purpose of the pur-
chase having been reached when the
money contribution was made What
ever the disposal Of the stamps by the
purchasers, the spirit actuating the pur-
chase was commendable, and the com.
bined results very satisfactory. It is
remarkable what spontaneous move,
ment Of this sort can accomplish even
when the individual contributions be ex-
tremely snall-Perhaps not more than
Eve cents esch--when the scheme gets

the Red Cross society has determined to
continue the sale of the stamps, the re-
ceipts must necessarily Be smaller. but

ing large amount in the aggregate.
