Immunity.

Suppose one were compelled TO submit
to bite by venomous snake or volun-
teered to do so for scientific observa-
ton. II one could first receive dose
of anti-venin (snake bite serum. or II
one could have this antidote injected
Immediately after the bite, no serious
consequences would be observed prob
ably. OF course, 1t is conceivable that
the snake might inject an exceptionally
large dose Of virulent venom and the
dose Of serum might be too small to
neutralize it, and in that case the snake
bite would undoubtedly cause serious
results and perhaps even death.
Suppose one develops a suspicious sore
throat at a time when there Is diph-
liberia In the community. II one re-
ceives q prophylactic injection Of anti
toxin Immediately. while the doctor Is
awaiting the meteorological test Of the
culture, the diphtheria, II such 1t proves
to be, will likely be a very mild indis-
position. OF course, 1t Is conceivable
that one may have been exposed to an
exceptionally Virulent strain OF lnfec-
ton and the dose of anti-toxin admin
istered as q prophylactic might be too
small to neutralize the overwhelming
quantity OF diphtheria poison or toxin,
and in that case one would suffer q
serious illness and possibly death from
the diphtheria.
However. a dose of anti-toxin confers
immunity at once, whether the immu-
nifty is suficient in the circumstances
or not. The tonin-arti-toxin method OF
immunizing children against diphtheria
does not confer immunity Immediately;
1t merely starts the natural develop
ment Of immunity. and this process re-
ouires at least three months, perhaps
child who receives the three weekly
doses of toxin-anti-toxin now will at
tain the full measure of immunity only
after the lapse Of three months. Mean
while the child is developing immunity
gradually day by day.
So far as our present knowledge OF
immunity goes, 1t Is always so, though
the time required for the process may
vary with different diseases or different
type Of germs. If you receive bacterial
vaccine treatment, yoA can't expect the
effect to be manifest in few days;
it takes several months. Indeed, it
often happens that the vaccine treat
ment has been discontinued and the
patient Is trying something else when
the effect of the vaccine treatment be-
comes manifest.
Passive immunity-the kind conferred
by a dose Of antidote-is complete I'M
mediately. and 1t probably lasts but a
short time.

A Sermon for Today
Where Laughter Fails.
By REV. JOHN r. GUM.

Text-"As the cracking of thorns I'M
der a pot, so is the laughter Of the
fool. Eco, VIII.
He was a popular comedian, stage
favorite. People attending his per-
formances considered him 1.-The funniest
mortal alive" His income was more
than $500 a week. He seemed "a
fixed luminary in the stage universe"
Then there was a scandal with pretty
actress, and "he began startling skid
that in rapid succ sssion left him penni-
less, divorced, jobless and ILL.," He was
a happy-go-lucky sort of fellow, but
"the situations in his life which could
not be turned aside with Wlsecrack
seemed to leave him helpless" These
were the main points in a recent news
paper story about this comedian.
The happy-go-lucky type of man ap-
peals to us all. We just naturally like
a funny man. We consider him for
tunate who has cheerful disposition
and who Is able to laugh away his wor-
lies and troubles. But it is well to
remember that there are some things
that cannot be laughed away, that
there are situations that cannot be
turned aside with a "wisecrack." One
cannot make joke of his evil doings
and get by with it. He cannot laugh
away his sins and follies. He cannot
dismiss a guilty conscience with jest.
"A merry heart maketh a cheerful
countenance" "A merry heart hath a
continual feast" "A merry heart doeth
good like medicine" So says the sage
of ancient Israel. But this same sage
also says, LAS the cracking of thorns
under a pot, so is the laughter of the
fool" One with guilty conscience
may keep up his laughter for a while
but It will be dry, cracking sort OF

tons. Gen. Buford, with artillery and
supporting force of infantry, crossed
the river in the morning near Kappa
hammock Station. He soon encountered
one brigade of Gen. Stuart's Confeder-
ate Cavalry, which he attacked. The
Confederates were reinforced by the
rest of Stuart's command, and the
enemy fought with great obstinacy.
They were driven back, however, to
within one mile of Culpeper.
At this point division OF Confed-
crate Infantry made Its appearance,
and the Union troops. finding they were
in danger of being outfanked, slowly
fell back, followed by the Confederate
Cavalry, Infantry and Artillery. Gen.
Buford finally halted in strong po-
sition and for some hours held the
entire Confederate force at bay. The
| fighting was very severe and the losses
on both sides were heavy.
Gen. Buford at length was joined by
the 1st Corps of the Union Army, and
the combined force compelled the Con-
| federates to cease their attacks. AT
last reports, other Union corps were
coming up and there were indications
that the Confederates likewise were
being reinforced.
Union patrols report evidence that
Gen. Lee is concentrating his entire
Army in the vicinity of Culpeper. If
this is true. news of general engage
ment may be received at any moment.
Reports from the front say the weather
