VACCINA.TION
An Expert Expression as to Its ineatent•
erne Value,
In the latest number of the Medi-
cal Age, the editor, Frederick W.
Mann, M.D., has written an article on
the status of vaceination, Dr. Mann
states that it is doubtful if science
ever conferred richer boon on hu-
manity, and it is doubtful if there is
one single seientitio foot that stands
so absolutely and incontrovertibly true
as this one concerning the proteetive
value of vaccination. There is, no doubt,
he says, thet the mortality of small-
• pox is mueh less now than in prevacoin-
to
d anon times and even in houses invad-
ed by smallpox, not nearly 80 Man7
et the vaccinated inmates are attaek-
h ed as of the unvaccinated. Nor oan 10
o- be said tb.at emallpox is a milder dui -
n, ease then it was in forruer centuries.
In support 61 his position, Dr. Mann
glyee the following.:

A SPECTACLED 1)00,
Not long ago an amain; of a dog
who wore apectaeles went the rounds
of the press, 11110 10 was without the ie-
teresting cormlueion which, a similar
storyrecounted by to Frenchman, Er-
nest Blum, has. Moneta= Blum -re-
lates that, being somewhat fond of
the chase, be was presented by atriend
with a magnificent hunting -dog.
This animal. Proved to have the great
qualities of a dog of that pxofession,
his 800nt wan keen and discriminating
he was obedient, he was brave, not in
the least gun-shi, and would retrieve
to perfection. Ile had, indeed, but one
fault, find that was serioue.
In coursing through the woods he
often ran agafnet trees, and In the
bouse would strike against: chairs, ta-
bles, doom, and other objects, that
came in his way. His owner wondered
what could be the matter with him,
and he took him to a veterinary. This
man kept the dog a few weeks and
returned him with bis belt aed the
information that he Was near-sighted.
Be needs a pair of glasses,' said
the veterinary, with a grin.
The advice was good, and the dog's
master noted upon it at Mira. He re-
flected that by doing eci he might make
himself someweat ridiculous in the
eyee of the world, but it would be
greatly to the dog's benefit and it
would make him very interesting. 6o
he had a pair of sufficiently largo
lenses made anti adapted to the dog's
wear by an ingenious artisan: the bows
of the glasses went round the animal's
ears and were securely fastened
there.
At first the dog was much surprised
at these instruments, and. tried to get
them off. Soon, however, it seemed to
dawn upon him what they were foe,
and he then wore them with great
pride and satisfaction.
They had a wonderful effect on h
vision, enabling hien to see as much
any other dog. When he went hun
ing he no longer had to depend who
ly on his scent, for his mastery of th
game, but saw as well as scented, an
pursued his game with swiftness an
sureness. People began by laughin
at the animal, and ended by admirin
him and envying his possessor.
The dog appeared to gain every a
vantage from his glasses which hu
man beings have not; he could lick hi
glasses with his tongue. This WaS ve1

In tee matter of the size and style
of cards there can be little variation
from year to year. An acknowledged
authority says: "The size of e lady's
visiting card is 31-11 by nearly 2 1-2
inches; that of a gentleman 8 'lichee
by 1 1-2, and the pasteboard ehould
be thin and smooth, though not glos-

add that lt is bad taste to have the
