VACCINATION V8. SHAUPOX.
That, the ravages of smallpox
are now much less destructive
than formerly is duo, according
to the host scientilic opinion, to
Jenner’s discovory. The claim
that diminution of deaths from
smallpox is duo alone to improved
sanitary conditions does not, ap
pear tenable in the light of the
fact, that all other zymotic dis
eases have, even under these im
proved conditions, shown more
deplorable frequency and de
structiveness. •
A notable incident in connec
tion with the Franco-Prussinn
wnr, in 1870-1871, attests the
value of vaccination. Before the
outbreak of hostilities every Ger
man soldier had been successfully
vaccinated; with the French
troops vaccination was optional.
During the war both armies were
visited with smallpox. The
French lost 23,478 from this dis
ease alone and the Germans 203.
These figures should convince the
most skeptical.
The Census Department gives
out figures showing that 0,604,852
bales of cotton were ginned in

A SPASM OF ItEFOItM.
THE REVIVAL THAT WAS SUGGESTED
FOR THE TOWN OF JERICHO.
Pap Pcrklnn, the Poatniuater, Telia
About the I2nthu«lanin With Which
Alitjah Holden'a Idea Wae Greeted
nnd How Llali Illlllnsa Doused It
With n Wet Blanket.
[Copyright, 1900, by C. B. Letvii.]
It was Abijah Holden who first got
(lie Idea, and ho sprung It on the post-
office crowd one Saturday night In the
most unexpeefed manner. He’d bln
kcepln powerful quiet fur a week or
two, like a man who’s left his Jaek-
knlfe stlckln in tbe burn door and is
tryln to remember the fact, and this
made the surprise all tho greater. The
crowd was most ready to go homo
when he got up and said:
"Feller Citizens of Jericho—I want
to see this town boomed as much as
any of you. I want to see her git up
and bump herself till Boston or Chica
go won’t be In It, but when it comes to
cboosln between size and goodness I'm
fur goodness. I tblnk It’s better fur
one’s soul and body to live in a small,
good town than in a big, bad town.
I’ip wlllln to go In and help push Jeri
cho along, as I said, but let’s do It on
right lines. Let's start her off on a
high moral plane and keep her so."
"There’s a p’int, and mebbe a mighty
strong one. In wbat BIJah says," re
marked Deacon Spooner as tbe speak-
made speeches and pledged them
selves, and Deacon Spooner tapped on
the floor with his cane and said he
thanked heaven be had lived to see
that night. The enthusiasm was still
bllln when Llsh Billings strolled la
and looked nrouud In nu Inqulrln way.
The deacon explained what was rp
and asked him if he hadn’t suuthin to
say.
"Waal, not a great c’rnl.” rrpllrd
Llsh. "I'd hke to ask who’s to git up
this revival V
"We'll send for some great preach
or," answers Abijah Holden.
"Who’s to pay him? Preachers ain't
revlvalln around for nut Ida. though
they like to do good."
Everybody looked at everybody, but
no one had any more to say.
"And when we got the revival start
ed," continued Llsh. "thcre'd have 10
be a lot of ownin lip to things nnd nV;-
In forgiveness. Who's golu to own up
to glttln drunk on hard cider, to Jnwln
bis wife, to llckln Ills children, to pi
zenln dogs, to cripplin ':eg*. to srealhi
fence rails, to a hundred other mean
things? Take yer time about It and
don’t all speak at once, but lernmc
have the Information."
Deacon Spooner opened Ids mouth
as If to sny that Llsh had made n
strong p’int. but closed It again nnd
heaved a sigh and went out. Other
Sighs was heaved and other folks went
out, and In three mlnits Llsh Billings
had all the cracker and sugar bar’ls
to bisself and was wonderln wbat had
busted up the meetln. M. Quad.

or paused to collect his thoughts, "hut
up to this period his language Is sorter
ambiguous, lie’s drlvln at suuthlii, but
wbat that suntbln Is lie'll have to ex
plain.”
“It's Jest tills,” resumed Abijah. “I’m
111 favor of boldln one of tbe biggest
religious revivals In this town this fall
that was ever held on the top of tills
alrtli. I want It to be kept up till ev
ery human bein In the place Is good
'nuft to die at a mlnlt's notice. We’ll
git our moral standard first, and then
we'll pnreecd to boom. When you kin
advertise tbe fact that a town of nigh
2,000 Inhabitants hasn't one single sin
ner In It, whnt's golu to be the result?
Why, gentlemen, tbe Influx, the rush,
of preachers aloue to such a place will
bring about the sale of 2,000 city lots
within a year. Wlddors will eomo
here, orphans will como here, convert
ed slnuers and reformed drunkards will
como here, nnd tbe newspapers will
spread It broadcast that Jericho ImB no
need of courts, constables or Julia.“
“I do decide that HIJnh hnB made a
p’int,” said tbe dencon. “In a ginoral
way Jericho Is a party good town, but
Its moral standard klu be boosted up
a peg or two, I reckon. I’m In fur tbe
revival.”
Admlron Taylor got up and said he
nlso favored It. A town was like a
child—start out In the right way with |
It, nnd It would prove a Joy nnd a
blessln. Ue hadn't seen a great deal ]
of wickedness around Jericho, and ho
didn’t believe there wns much, but
what wns lurkln around In tbe fence
corners might ns well be drlv out to
make a clean state of It. He didn't be
lieve In rnlxln booms with religion, but
yet if a boom did foller the revival be
bad six acres of land which he would
cut up Into town lots nnd sell for fair
prices.
Salatlilal Thompson follercd with
a rlugln speech. He bail bln seein
wickedness In Jericho for over 20
years, but not feetlu strong 'nufT to
cope with It single bnnded had kept Ills
head shel and let It go on. To his
certain knowledge there wns Mars nnd
thieves and swindlers In the town.
There wns nlso drunkenness nnd pro-
fnnit.v nnd bettln. Ue had sometimes
gone to tied o’ nights expectin the fate
of Sodom to overtake the place before
the sun riz. If a revival would sweep
away all this wickedness, nnd he be
lieved It would, then let Yr come.
More gooduess meant more churches,
nnd if another meetln house was built
be wanted tbe Job and would tnke It
at tbe lowest reasonable figger.
Solomon Davis follercd with n his
tory of Sodom and Gomorrah. lie had
read up ou them towns and got all tbe
particulars. It they'd bud a revival
aud everybody turned to goodness,
they’d not only have bln staudln ylt,
but property along tbe main streets
would have bln wutb $1,000 a foot
front. Nobody could say that Jerlcbo
was a hundredth part as wicked as
Sodom, but she’d got a start and unless
cheeked up It was only a question of
time when an alrthqunke would leave
her a heap of ruins. He wouldn’t take
up tbe valuable time of tbe meetln to
give Instances of wickedness beyond
mnkln It known that durin the past
year some Gomorrohlte had cut otT tbe
tails of three of bis hogs and pulled
all tbe tall feathers out of one of his
peacocks. I.et the revival and the
wave of goodness come on He'd ring
the bell for services and sweep out
the church and not charge a ceQt for
his services, and when the business
boom follered It would find him ready
to put dowu four rods of new sidewalk
and take In ten boarders at $5 a week
apiece.
