Housekeeping in British Honduras.

The trials of a housekeeper in British

vegetables have to be imported from the

tried to circumvent the pests by wiring

unavailing, as there is water about a
foot below the surface, and the crabs
had only to dive down one side of the
fence and come up smiling on the other.
These crabs are not the ordinary variety,
and arc not generally used for food. At
one time of year, however. their shells
turn blue. and then the colored people
consider them edible. Two men go out at

WORK OF ARMY CHAPLAINS.
Manifold Duties of the Reverend
Men of the Regiments.


A chaplain with troops being a nom
combatant although there have been in
stances of valor and heroism by men of
their cloth. a doubt has arisen in the
thrifty legislative mind whether money
could not be saved by dispensing with the
army chaplain and calling a local minis
ter in post towns to hold services. This
view of the matter displays such a
dearth of information about the duties
and usefulness of army chaplains that
one of them, Capt. Joseph Clemens of the
10Th Infantry Ito give him his rank In

the Army and Navy Journal the question
not infrequently asked by members of
Congress: OF what use are army chap

Anti-Typhoid Vaccination.
From the New York Sun.

From the New York Sun.
In answer to numerous inquiries re-
Sarding the true status OF vaccination for
immunity from typhoid infection it may
be stated that the highest authorities, af
ter thousands of inocuation in military
and civil practice. are convinced of the
reality of this minimizing procedure. The
army which was modified on the Next
can frontier was practically protected
in this manner 1t is true that the les
sons so dearly bought in the camps dur
ing the Cuban war mobilization were APP
piled in these maneuvers, but Surgeon
Russell of the army declares that anti
typhoid vaccination was the principal
cause of immunity. He feels confident
that it confers almost complete immu-
nifty against infection and lasts surely two
and a half years and perhaps longer. The
procedure rarely produces discomfort,
pain and still more rarely febrile reaction.
In civil practice we may take the at
tendants in the Massachusetts General
Hospital and the nurses and other eX-
posed persons in twenty-three other hos
pitfalls as an example. DR.. l.. III. Spooner
reports in the Journal Of the American
Medical Association that while in debili-
tated patients the reaction may be severe,
il is usually mild Among 1861 nurses.
who are eight times more liable to the
disease than others, only two cases de-
veloped. No permanent untoward effects
have arisen from over 5000 injections
The anti-typhoid vaccination has estab-
lished it's efficiency in two epidemics.
To the person who is anxious to be pro-
tected against this too prevalent disease
the lesson from these reliable observa-
| tons is that whenever one feels that or
binary care of the hands cannot be eXer-
cised one would be safer after the vac
cination il engaged in caring for case of
| typhoid fever. Lay people do not appear
| to realize that this vaccination differs
absolutely from vaccination against
smallpox in several respects. In
smallpox the immunity acquired by
vaccination in infancy lasts until adult
| life, while immunity from typhoid vacci-
nation lasts only two and a half years.
/ 1t would therefore be unwise to resort
| TO the latter unless one Is exposed to d.
rect infection.
| For this reason it is well for a nurse in
attendance on typhoid patients during the
| two-and- -half-year period to be protect
! ed by vaccination. 1t should be borne in
mind that when she does this she pleads
guilty to lack of confidence in her vigil
lance against contact with injecting ma
| terials which an antiseptic washing with
| a nail brush prevents more surely than
vaccination. While in a smallpox cpl
demic It is a wise precaution to vacci-
nate even those who are not In direct
contact, this is unnecessary in typhoid
fever epidemics. except for those who are
| in direct contact The typhoid poison can
not infect unless it be swallowed: hence
| IL should be easy to avoid it even II eX-
posed TO contact.

To Catch Foxes.
From the London Chronicle.

From the London Chronicle.
If you are particularly anxious to do a
little surreptitious fox catching try the
following. 1t is the sage of Lupton who
speaks, in his Thousand Notable
Things: "Anoint the solcs of your shoes
with a piece of fat swincs flesh as broad
as your hand, newly toasted or little
broiled at the fire. when'you go out of
the wood homeward. And in every of
your steps cast piece of the liver Of u
swine roasted and dipped in honey. and
draw after your back the dead carcass
of a cat" Your fox cannot resist all
this. but be sure to have man nigh
thee with bow and shafts to shoot at
him. or by some other means to hit him.
Good fun this for a country house party
at loose ends.

students may take part in athletics. The
arrangement of study hours SO that SO
many students are obliged to be in their
classes between and o'clock in the
afternoon has frequently disorganized the
training Of the major teams. For in
stance, it has frequently been impossible
for the foot ball team to get proper train

What the athletic authorities wish to
accomplish is to have a general rear

Standardizing Water Polo Rules.
The college athletic world ought to be
very glad that the A. A. u. has taken
the stand IT has to reform the water polo
game. Under the American rules water
polo had degenerated into a rough and

ducing disgraceful conditions. An attempt
was made to substitute the English rules.
but without success. Now the A. A. u
has ruled that all games must be played
according to the Olympic rules. which
have proven satisfactory in every partic-
ular They not only insure an interesting
contest. but the elimination OF roughness
What the A. A. y. has done In regard
to water polo is part of the international
movement to make the Olympic rules the

existing rules. The United States. through
James f. Sullivan. was the first country
to start such a movement. and is MAIN

Motorists Are Responsible.

1t is no longer debatable that the. mil
lion users of the motor-driven vehicle
throughout the country are responsible for
adding a new factor in. the problem of
transportation and the necessity for i'm
proved roads. While the use of automo-
biles has widened the area of travel. in
many sections local travel for the most
part is still drawn by horse. This traf-
fc revolution makes necessary new
basis of computation for apportioning the
expense of the necessary Improvement of
the highways. Chairman Diehl summar-
ICES the situation in these words:
There are certain main roads in every
community leading to county seats and
very populous centers, the cost of which
it would be unjust to tax upon townships,
for the usefulness of these roads under
the new conditions includes the county as
a whole. Consequently each township,
and. incidentally. each property owner,
should only pay his proper share in the
improvement of this class of highways.
The wider area of travel makes necessary
the opening of improved highways be-
tween county seats. leading to populous
centerS and important marketing points.
1.-The same relation which exists between
the town and county and between the
county and state in the Improvement of
certain classes of highways should exist
between each state and the federal gov
eminent. Highways of an interstate
character, those leading from the capital
of one state to the capital of another;
those trunk lines leading to great centers
of populations; to points of public interest:
to popular resorts; in fact, any highway
the major portion of the mileage travel
over which originates outside the state,
should properly be constructed at the eX-
pense of the federal government"
