The Origin of Vaccine

The discovery of vaccine and the uIti. mate practice of vaccination are due td the passing remark of an English milk maid.
 In the year 1775 Dr. Jenner was study ing medicine in Sodbury, England. and happened to hear from a young girl that none of the milkmaids in Worcestershire. who had contracted cowpox from milking the cows, ever contracted smallpox.
 The doctor at once began an investiga1 tion in the vicinity to try to discover tho relation of cowpox and smallpox. His brother doctors gave him but little sym pathy. and laughed at what they called his hobby" but he continued with his work. making observations and expert ments. Finally. in 179S, he published the results of his studies. These, however were still met with violent ridicule and abuse. In many places people who all lowed themselves to be vaccinated were stoned in the streets. For a long tims matters continued in this way.
 At last two titled ladies, Lady Ducie and the Countess of Berkeley, were brave enough to raccinate their own children and from that moment the violent preju- dices began to subside. The medical pro- fession adopted the practice. and Dr. Jenner received honor far and wide as having made one of the greatest discov- cries of the age.

Gemless Women at Newport

Mrs. Charles M. oelrichs has set a new style at Newport. For years past she has been known far and wide as the most bejeweled woman In the sum mer colony and her valuable gems were at once the envy and admiration of all who laid eyes on them. But this year she has appeared at all the social events of the colony without them. At first 1t occasioned some surprise, for Mrs. Oelrichs without her jewels seemed as incongruous state of affairs as would @ charger without his trappings. But soon society became &C., customed to the change, and, follow ing a leader, all It's members adopted the same style and appeared at glittering gems.
 In the last few years social leaders have been worried over the appear ance, or rather the nonappearance, of mysterious ''society burglar" Jewels have disappeared over night Five years ago Mrs. Ogden Goelet's summer home was robbed and gems valued at nearly $250,000 were taken. The fol- lowing year 1t was Mrs. Oelrich's turn, when S10.Oo0 worth of necklaces and rings were carried off,
 From time to time since then other houses have been entered; so when the aforementioned social leader left her New York home early this spring all of her most valued jewels were safely slowed away in safe deposit vaults, hence the newest style at New port.

The Wooden Wedding

Plans for an interesting wooden we'd ding anniversary are described as fol- lows:
 Have the rooms decorated with daf- fodils, golden glow or dahlias, accord ing to the season of the year, and long curly wood shavings, which will make an attractive background for the flow CTS. Candles are most appropriate for lighting and should be put in wooden candlesticks. Serve the refreshments, which should be simple. in wooden bowls. and on wooden plates and use paper napkins.
 The invitations should be written on birch bark or thin pieces of wood These may be cut in any required shape, according to the taste of the hostess.
 Following the supper the guests may be entertained by clog dancer who wears wooden shoes or whiting con- test may be started prizes to be award ed for the best cut or most artistic article.
 For this contest pieces of wood and sharp penknives are necessary and the time for the whiting should be linn tied. The prizes, of course should be of wood.

"A dollar and a half"

"A dollar and half"
 And he might have added: And you9'' Because they do say that is the reason he is still a bachelor.
 AS a matter of fact. the question Why is bachelor?' while very interesting. is not nearly so much so as the other side of 1t:
 Why do men marry?"
 Our bachelor friend, MT. c. B. Shaw, declares that they marry for "home."
 If by a ''home" G. B. s. means a place where comforts and luxuries are to be had. where perfect service and all modern conveniences simplify living, bachelor can find that in the up-to-date apartment house, or in his "bachelor quarters" But the true, true" requisite that mod ern enterprise cannot supply is the af- lection that makes man turn from phy- sical well being and comfort to a future of doubtful servant girls" and an ''un- tried little wife" The real joy and hap piness of being loved and cared for.
 It's the human trait strong within him, of wanting companion whom he can love and trust and with whom he is always first, last and only.
 The one thing that endeared our beloved "Septimus' to us was his longing to be kept ''human.' He wistfully reached out after the things that other men sought, not because he cared for them for him self but that he yearned not to be un- like "his kind"
 "Septimus." blind as he was to the eternal verities,' realized that it is not good for man to have his life made too easy for him." that he needs the disci- pline of running house. and even managing ''fractious wife," if needs be.

From all sections answers have been sent in, Illuminating the subject with sage wisdom and admirable discretion.
 Bachelors from the east and bachelors from the west have sent their written statements while from the south dozens of replies were forthcoming.
 One of the funniest experiences was that of a Birmingham bachelor. who got very much excited on the subject and took the document to his lady love in great distress, hoping perhaps that she might help him to give satisfactory answer, for after all it is a woman who can and does answer all such questions since she is responsible nine times out of 10 for such state.
 She listened to his arguments and laughed herself sick at the importance he laid upon the magazine writing to him for an opinion on the subject for all the while she knew that her fun-loving sister had put up the job" on him, and got the magazine to send him the let ter.
 A bachelor of my acquaintance wrote to the magazine, that the girls he knows make excellent fudge, but he would hate to eat the biscuit they make, and that what they can do with a piano is beyond criticism, but he isn't sure that they could broil a steak equally well and while he knows that they can handle two or three suitors with tact and ability, he doubts whether they would be able to do with one servant"
 So far, so good, and while 1t is easy enough to see that the bachelor has a pretty wit he Is not tied to any girls apron strongs.
 The question sent out by the maga- zine was contained in two queries, name ly: What income do you regard as nec- essary to a man of your social standing before entering upon married life.' Are the young women of your set rightly brought up and trained for wifehood and homemaking?"
 Nearly all the replies indicated that the bachelors thought that the young women of the present day were defcierE as to the qualities that go toward making home happy.
 About 50 agreed that the girls were all right--if the young men could afford the luxury of matrimony.
 Two prominent Birmingham bachelors and a pretty widow were discussing the
The Birmingham age-herald., 1910-10-09

and yet so different:
 ''Why, in the Rosary there was the same compensation for all the suffering, in the result of-marriage, and after-and notwithstanding what you may think. marriage. my dear Dolly, is the ultimate Thule of my happiness. And whether I arrive at that great estate lame, halt, blind. what you will. at least I've ar rived"
 But what's the use of a woman trying to talk the matter into intelligence7
 She has troubles enough of her own. but when the subject came up not long ago, clever woman I know wrote to two bachelors asking their opinion on the subject and these are the replies she re- ceived:
 My Dear Lady:
 Why is a bachelor?' Am expected to justify the existence of a class of men with whom I have no sympathy and no feeling? The professional bachelor whose home Is the club I leave out of the con- troversy. He Is hopeless. But the others who are waiting for the mot impossi- ble She"-- An! would that I might re- they suffer in the hope that each day will bring this august and important per- sonage within their ken!
 Truly 1t is better to have loved and lost one's bachelor independence than never to have loved at all.
 Why is bachelor?"
 Only because the grace of God which sends the rain alike upon the just and the unjust indulgently lets him live on in a world that needs dinner partners and first aids to the debutante."

Initials

The season of gift handkerchiefs is al- most upon us, and thousands of patient embroiderers will proceed to put thou sands of initials inside of thousands of little round wreaths without ever a thought of some other means of ornamen- tation.
 What is the matter with making that wreath" square? Or diamond or heart shaped? Or oblong, or cross or sham rock shaped? Or oval or elliptical?
 What is the matter, again, with mak- ing 1t an unfinished spiral? With leav- ing one end open and longer than the other? With combining with 1t bow knots or ribbons or tiny cornucopias? :? With making 1t double?
 Why don't you vary the eternal forget me-not and the nondescript leaf with chrysanthemums? With holly? With wild roses? With oak leaves? With con- ventionalized and dotted flowers of all sorts?
 Why don't you substitute for the fore- ordained solid work the English eyelet !? French laid? Venetian ladder? Ribbon embroidery?
 Look this list over before you start {: and if you don't take any of its sugges- tions, go out and get some new ones of your own.

Old Parasols

It Is quite easy to renovate-or, rather, replace-an old parasol that has not been too elaborate. Simply rip the silk carefully from the frame by means of a sharp penknife, being careful not to cut 1t. Then use it as a pattern for cutting out a new one-which may be of cretonne, of chintz, of linen, of pongee or of any other easily worked goods-and stitch this stoutly on the old frame. It might be a good idea to give fresh coat of black enamel to the ribs while they are uncovered.
 And behold A new parasol, at a cost of practically nothingi

Flies By the Millions

A single fly, in a little more than a month, will produce a progeny of over a million and half. Housefiies survive the winter in the person of several sturdy females, which hibernate from about Oc- tober to April and May. They stay in the secluded corners of outhouses and sta bles. Then. on the first warm day of spring. out they come, and, if the wealth CT continues fine, proceed to lay their eggs. They lay about 120 at time, and, roughly, these eggs take three weeks to develop into the perfect adult insect.
