Promoting Smallpox Infection.

From the fact that smallpox which
Is very prevalent in the Philippines
at certain seasons disappears when
the rains set in, 1t has been argued
that the germs are carried In the air.
An additional circumstance which
has the same apparent significance
IS reported from London. Hospital
ships, to which smallpox patients are
transferred, are anchored in the
Thames below the city. 1t has been
noticed that new cases break out
more frequently on the shore to
which the wind blows than on the
other side.

The Alabama.

Far away in foreign waters
There was vengeance in the name,
And terror to the trader,
In the Alabamas fame!
Far beneath the Southern heavens,
And beneath the Northern stars,
Did she bear unblenched the honor
OF the banner of the bars!
Where the bright sea of the tropics
Lay sheen of burning gold,
Where the icebergs of the Arctics
Cleaned amid the frigid cold,
Where the coral islands clustered
In the purple Indian calm.
Where the Mexican mountains bore
aloft
Their coronals Of palm.
Where the Africa headlands lowered
Ger the oceans broad eXpanse,
Where the laughing Southern wa
ters kissed
The sunny shores of France;
Where'er a Yankee vessel
Spread her canvas to the breeze,
She did well to watch the coming
OF the ranger of the seas.
She did we'll to read the warnings
Of the wrecks upon her path,
Of the burning glow that lit the sky
In sudden sign of wrath;
She did we'll to reef her outspread
sails,
And yield the hopeless fight,
When the staunchest rover OF the
seas
Came bearing into sight.
All, long shall dwell in tale and song
The Alabama's famel
And men shall speak with glowing
breath
Her proud and spotless name!
Long shall the story still be told
or how she swept the seas,
And flung the starlight of our flag
To every ocean breeze!
And honored long the lion-heart
That DER her held command.
All honor to the dauntless breast.
The ever fearless handl
Thrice honored, too, the sword that
rests
4 thousand fathoms deep,
Where surges foam and waters dash
And winds above it sweep!
Ike a hero clad in arrnor,
True to the very last.
The Alabama died no death
That could disgrace her past.
The free child of the. waters,
She sank beneath the wave,
And, with her flag stiyl nyins, foc1'
