Xobody would ever Intimate such an Idea, but tho antics that people c. ut m their attitude toward the disease would provoke mirth were they not so pathetic. There N always something pathetic in our efforts for self-preservation. AVo take such elaborate palnit to avert the calamities that would inli-5 us anyway, and are so reckless about tho things which can and do happen to us every day. AVo have been racing about, entirely unconcerned when small-pox has been creeping closer and closer every week. During the holiday season we pushed our way Into shops and elbowed peo ple who looked as if they might bo af flicted with almost anything that we did not want to catch. AVe didn't exactly crowd the street cars, but that wasn't our fault. AVe did swell the throngs in the trains and not a wave of trouble rolled across our peaceful breasts because we didn't happen to bo vaccinated. Xow we are almost para lysed for fear wo can't get vaccinated fast enough, and are causing our fam ily physicians to wish earnestly Hint they liad chosen hoiiio other profession. Some nf us ale Miyslerical enough to make It miraculous if we do not scare ourselves into the dread disease. A young unman rushed into a doc tor's oilier" yesterday and beR.-in to eiy, as she Hung hei'sell' down In a chair. "I was going to Je married In Hie spring." she sobbed, "but I'll never lie man led now. I've got an awful p.iin in the back of my head and my pulse is iliitleriug like everything, and I know fin coining down villi the smallpox; O-ti-oh, dear! and I don't want you to let George see me, for I'll lo sure to look like a flight; and you'll promise me, won't you doctor'.' You're the orily person I can trust in the wide world. I Mimt you to see to it thai he doesn't come to the funeral. (J-o-oh, dear!" and I hen she broke down and wailed. "You needn't worry about your funeral," said the doctor, grimly. "I don't believe even George will be wildly anxious to come to that if you die with the smallpox: but you haven't got It yet, and what business have you to know whether your nulse Is fluttering oi' not? You've been eating loo many chocolate creams and your liver Is stirred up: that's all the mutter with you. Xow, take this and go home, and don't eat any more candy for a month." And as she dried her tears and hast ened off, lie grumbled: "These blessed women. They make me tired. They go to studying symptoms and readllig what tho newspapers say, and imagine they have everything, from yellow fever to spinal meningitis," tt If you see a person with nn uncom monly smug and self-s.itlslled expres sion on his face you can make up your mind that lij ban recently been vaccin ated. The more It hurts him, the mine solf-sutlslled he looks. There Is scarce ly anything even In the consolations of lellgion which will give a peison such a complacent look ia the certainly thai his vaccination is taking. After all, 1 shouldn't wonder If u little of the good elt'ect ot vniclnatlon lies In the mental consciousness that one Is Im mune. One knows that It Is the logical thing to do and then the mind Is re lieved troin further anxiety. To be sure, this mental state will not pro tect one from ditching the smallpox it one is exposed, but It does go a lomr way In assisting the body to resist the attacks of various maladies. 1, for one, haven't any patience with theso self-sullleient "mart" peoplu who scorn vaccination. Its ellleacy has been proved so completely In tho past f Muslin Underwear that It seems the depth ot Idiocy to dispute tho evidence. Hho was it dear old lady, who re marked piously the other day! "Alt, well, If the dear Lout means mu to have thu smallpox Ills will bo done," nnd she disdained vaccination, it Would be every bit aj sensible for her to construct n cesspool In tho front yard nnd then blutue tho Lord It thu family got the typhoid fever. These people lire so tlroFoinu who blnino nil their own ctuclcssuess or obstinacy on the Loul. Wasn't It Ilben Holdeit who said, reverently enough: "If I Mioulil lioi,l ninl lilt llie t.Inn of slim, I IHIIW IllO I.CllI MOlltll III! IH llllllll mi pi lue 1 i us t ihii," It Is surprising though to see what u change of heart a great ninny people undergo with regard to vaccination when the smallpox gets as near as Hyde Park. They are pretty apt to bo discovered sneaking off to the doctor's otllre after' dark. If they have been parlloulnily rabid untls, they will ns Miro all their friends that of course It was nothing but nonsense, still their wives wouldn't bo happy until It was done and they had to yield their con victions In order to keep peace In the family. It Is tiuly distressing the way some men are browbeaten by their wives. The doctors say they have had some very exciting experiences since this smallpox scaie begun. Their older patients are the most fussy. They watch every movement of the newer methods with suspicion. Kvery few minutes the doctor is stopped short with tho declaration: "Here, that Isn't the way to do It. This Is the way they did thirty or forty years ago," as the case may bo. They think It is nonsense to bo so paitlcular ilhotit the antiseptic condi tions of the scarification and liny smile derisively at the little shleldn used for protection of tlio sore spot. "I used to get my vaccination hurt until I howled," said one elderly gentleman, recalling the memory with apparent glee. "You fellows coddle the boys loo much nowadays." You can make up your mind that the doctor who Isn't particular and who doesn't pay great respect to the sani tary laws regarding vaccination, will be likely to get himself In trouble be fore this excitement Is over. As yet there have been no reports of uny se rious results from vaccination. Mo.st phslclnns use great precaution and there Is almost no possibility of dan ger. AVhen you see n doctor take care to cleanse tho skin previous to making an abrasion, alcrillsio tho needle In the hottest llaiue and fasten a shield over the wound, you may be reasonably certain that you will not die with the lockjaw, especially if tho Muirord pre parations are employed. Al any rale, if j ou should g:et the lockjaw theie is always the serum treatment to save you. and at the worst it isn't nearly ns bad as the smallpox. The aviage girl who limps may In suspected of having been recently vac cinated. 1 lather generally she prrfeis nut to have the sear on her nrni. for :i bl pebble-gont mark isn't particularly at tractive foi evening dress. Mos't doc tors recommend the arm as less likely In be exlieiiiely sore. The leg, even below the knee," uiHlclKoes a great deal more muscular effort ninl is theiefoie more subject to irritation. There N less Strain upon the arm, although it Is liable tn knocks. f have heard of only one iiiuii who was vaccinated on the leg. I do not know whether it was because ho did not caie to destroy the symmetry of his plump, dlmplitl arms, even tem porarily. The doctors say that men faint a often as women during the opeiatlor. of vaccination. They say that the de testable little scratching of that tri angular needle gets ou their nerves and the llrst filing they know they need smelling salts. Saucy Hess. SUPERSTITION DYING OUT.

"Ileal cslate men me gradually for getting most of the old-time supersti tions which used to cause us much trouble," said a dealer the other day to a reporter.

Japanese dwarf plants aro produced by a very simple method according to a writer in tho Standard, It is Mid to consist chiclly of cutting tho roots when they first begin to appear. Ono method Is to fcoop out tho imlda ot an oratigo and fill tho skin with rich mould. Tho seed is put in the mould, and an opcrturu is left at tho lop through which tho sceii inay tprout. With tho aid of sunshtnu and proper watering, tm R't'dlliig' shoots upwards, whilst tho roots break through the orange fkln. Tho roofs' aro '-raved oil continually and tlio vitality of tlie plant be. lug thus hindered, a dwa.rf plant, is the result. When the roots cease tq grow the cutis aro var nished over, and tho 'orange eliin, with Us con tents, is embedded in a pot or vase. With ar tistic lie.itment, tlio trco becomes, more gnarled and stunted every year, and it may bo tJn,etl to whatever shape may be iicircd.
