TAcmrnusT HOW IT IS PREPARED FROM H EALTH V CALVES. The New York Board of Health's Operating Room?Calves on the I Table ? Vaccinating Them and Collecting the Virus. I The New York Commercial Advertiser j says: There is a small loft in Mott street which, perhaps, docs more to keep down the dreaded winter scourage (smallpox) than anj'thing else that the Board of Health has devised, it is there that all J the vaccine virus used in New York is j obtained. The loft extends about twentyfive feet on Mott street and runs back about eiirhty feet, and is divided longitudinally into a stable for the calves and an operating room. Hanged along the northern part of the stable arc twenty . tiny stalls, and back of these arc the cribs whence the animals take their food. And | it is good food that the calves get, for the better condition the calf is in the : better the vaccine will be and the less ' likely are injurious effects to follow when j it is used on a human being. This stable is in charge of a competent groom, who : devotes himself to the care of the animals, watching any changes in their condition and treating them accordingly. He, too, sees that they are given all the hay and Indian meal they can digest. At the south of this stable is the operating room, the tor'.ure chamber of the animals when | , they are subjected to the lancet of the j vaccinator. At the side next to the table | is the bench upon which the animal is ! stretched when undergoing the opera- j tion, and about the room are shelves I upon which lie hundreds of goose quills, | treated with virus, drying so as to be', ready for use. This room is airy and I' well ventilated. The calves a'lcomc from the big stock I yard, at Sixtieth street and the North ] River, where the men know about what! the doctors want a id take much trouble j to pick out the particularly healthy ani- j mals.. Then they are brought to the | lower floor of the stable where the veterinary surgeon assigned to the vaccina- J. tion bureau makes a careful examination j of the animal. The animal, if pro- i ] nouuccd in lit condition, is trotted up j, stairs and given one of the little stalls in 1 ] the top story. There he is allowed to remain until he has fed well and is feel ?

There he is held quietly until one of the attendants buckles a strapj around his left hind leg. This strap, j attached to a pulley r.?pe, is given a : strong pull by an attendant and up goes ] the calf on the vaccinating table with a thud and a snort of decided displeasure. But his struggle* are utterly useless, for by this time a heavy baud is buckled over his nose and neck and forelegs. Then he is at the mercy of the surgeon. But the latter does not vaccinate at once. lie lathers. the inside of the calf's hind legs and then carefully shave? away all the j hair. Then the nnim d is allowed to go | back to his stall and rest awhile until the vaccinator has arranged his virus and his vac.inc ' spades." These arc long j. points of bone and are used on the calves because they will hold more of the virus j than the ordinary quill. Because they are big and hold more than sufficient; virus to vaccinate an infant, they arc j < i? ? ? i_. r? .1. . 1.. a ft 1 ' Kept exclusively iwr in : uuiiunm. .iniui j a rest of an hour or so th2 calf is trotted i out of his stall again a:ul again tossed j i over on it? side upon the vaccinating | board. Then the rial work begins. The j i doctor takes a big six-bladed lancet, and | holding the knives together, cuts the | shaven skin of the animals as to just,' pierce the outer layer. Then the opcr-; ator uses his lancet at right angels with i' the original cuts, and so abrades the skin ! that it will readily receive the virus from 1 the "spade." But the " spade" is not f used at first. The work begins thus; All! the blood is carefully cleaned away from j the abrasion, and then a quill holding a ' small amount of virus is rubbed upon the I spot. Then comes the "spade," which | holds about four times as much virus as ; the ordinary quill. The virus from this j is rubbed iu carefully, and then the calf j is led back to his stall. As a rule four ! 1 abrasions are made upon the shaved skin j 1 of the animal. According to the statements of the j ' physician in charge of the vaccine stable, ( the calves show no evil etlects from the vaccination. Their appetite is unim- c paired, in fact they eat more than they i . did before the operation, and show none s of that lassitude infants and adults often i do after vaccination. Their allowance of food is increased. In this way, the 1 calves are treated for about seven days, i when the virus has done its work, and a again the animal is placed upon the 1 operating board, and then the important business of collecting the virus Oegins. r For doing this, the quills and "spades" i are prepared for the reception of the r virus. The quills which are taken from j ^ Pnocion rr?/?un ?irr* ivih^mcoiI frnm nn im _ I porter, who charges the 11< al th Depart- ! j merit $10 a thousand for them. They j are tied up in Iutidies of 100, and sent 11 to the vaccine stables, where men cut ! ( them into common lengths, and scrape | the ends so that they will hold the virus, i The animal is placed upon the operating j ' board as before, and the roughened end of the quill used to take the vaccine. Then | comes the drying process, and subse- 3 quentlv the treated quills are put into 1 . hermetically sealed jars and stored in an ice closet. They arc then ready to be used on the ir.o t delicate skin for the prevention of smallpox. The number of quills 1 of virus which can be obtained from a , ' calf range from live hundred to a thou- 1 sand, and these are either used by the 1 physicians iu the vaccination bureau or 1 by doctors whose patients do not care to ( be treated by the public physicians. When the Board of Health has finished ' with the calves, they are ordered to the < stock yards where they are either sold 1 or slaughtered. As the calves used are 1 principally the healthiest that come into ' the market the former fate generally 1 awaits the n, but farmers are somewhat ] shy of vaccinated calves and will not 1 give so much for them as they will for 1 those which have not been treated.

Household Hints. A much worn broom is very l\ard o the carpet. If possible, keep one utensil sacred t anions alone. The covers of the range should neve be allowed to get red hot. If you w ish your bread to be white put very little lard into the flour. Cistern water may be purified by char :oul put in a bag and hung in the water If your flat-irons arc rough, rub thesi with fine salt and it will make then smooth.

An excellent way of cooking eggs is tc jreak them in boiling milk without beatng. Cook slowly, occasionally stirring, ind when done add pepper, salt and jutter. For coffee stains try putting thick glycerine on the wrong side and washing t out tvith lukewarm water. Foi aspberry stains weak ammonia and vatcr is the be-t. There should be a small table about th( light of the range for ihc as a resting )lacc foi utensils when omelettes, griddle akes, etc., are made. It should be jovered with zinc.

A Misplaced Comma. The part that a comma may play in listory was never better illustrated hail by the fate of Manchooria. This ihiee, according to a writer in this nonth's 4'Proceedings" of the Royal Geographical Society, is a paradise on >n the borders of China. Though a usurious and luxuriant land, it has, nowevcr, for ye.irs been considered :i country of ice and snow, and all because its great mountain is misspelt "Clia'ngpai-shan" for H'h'ang-pai-shan." 7m latter is its real name, and means "the long, white mountain''?the white pumice stone being referred to. Clia'ng, however, means "perpetual," and mis placing the comma, both Chinese and European geographers concluded that * land with a "perpetual white mountain' must be cold and sterile. So thej brought the top of the mountain above the snow line, and gave out to the world that this "Garden of Eden" was anothei Iceland. Such it has been held foi urcs. They Get a Rest.

FAMOUS TRIPS. I. | TRIPS MADE BY PRESIDENTS r SIXCE WASHINGTON'S TIME. e I The First President's Fine Turnout ?Monroe's Tom?Jackson In the East?Accidents During Tours | ?The Saddest Tour of All. a e An interesting article upon the tour: of the Presidents appeared in the Con ? mopolitan. It stated that Presiden i Washington made two important tours The first one, in 178!?, extended to Ports 3 mouth, N. II., and to "Washington ^ Two years later he took a tour througl P , the South. President "Washington hat e . the finest turnout of his time. Ilis horse g were blooded ones, and his Engli>l coach was the wonder of New York, Enthusiastic demonstrations of rcspeel and honor met him everywhere except ir " Boston. John Hancock, who sat in the 0 Gubernatorial chair at the time, consid 'f cred his position equal to that of Wash ^ ington, and said that while Washingtor r was sovereign of the United States h< was sovereign in Massachusetts, and thai - it was Washington's duty to make th( a ' first call. Hancock failed to meet hin a at the city line, as was expected, anc f "Washington declined an invitation t< attend a dinner given by the Governoi that evening. Hancock was rcmon . strated with. His theory of State sov , ereignty was overborne, and, having e slept upon the matter, he became con vinced that Washington would not call 1 and sent the following note: > Sunday, 20th October, I o'clock, y The Governor's best respects to the Presi tt dent. If at home and at leisure, the Gov ornor will do himself the honor to pay hi: ' respects in half an hour. This he would hav< a done much sooner had his health in any de i- greo permitted. He now hazards everything t in respect to his health for the desirable pur e pose. Y To this President Washington replied e as follows: c Sunday, 20th October, 1 o'clock. The President of the United States present! his best respects to the Governor, and ha; t the honor to inform him that he will be ai i home until 2 o'clock. The President need noi B expres? the pleasure it Will be to him to se< the Governor, but at the same time he mus ! earnestly beg he will not hazard his health oi * this occasion. The Governor managed to smother hi , pride and made a brief call. Later on ^ to mollify the Governor, YVaslisngtor j took tea at his house. J Neither John Adam1! nor Thomas Jcf j ferson'took Presidential tours in thi sense in which the word is used to-day and there was a decided doubt in Prcsi dent Jefferson's mind a^ to their propri ? ety. All of the lirst Presidents were, 1 i however, men of wide travels. Wash * ington went to the West Indies as a boy J and his whole life after his return was ' ! made up in passing lrom one point o ' J this country to another. Jefferson, Madi & ! son anrl Monroe were sill emnloved it " diplomatic missions to the various court! ' of Europe; and Jihn Quincv Adams, be ginning his travels at the age of lifteer > years as the Secretary of our Legation o: s the (Joint of the Czar, kept up his travel.' | for a loug lifetime at the Government'! * expense or out of the salary receive s from the Government. Martin Vat * Buren started to England as Minister tc a the Coitrt of St. James during Jackson': e Administration, and Jackson himself hat led an active life and seen much of tin country during his campaigns and hit ante-Presidential career. n After Washington the next purely Presidential tour was that of Monroe, o whose reign was known as the Era ol Good Feeling. In the summer of 181 ^ r he took a tour throughout the North. lie left Washington in June and was con veyed up the Delaware from Wilming ' ton in a gorgeous barge, which was lined with crimson velvet and which was rowed by sixteen oarsmen dressed ii * sca:let vests, white sleeves and white 11 trousers, lie was everywhere received 11 with the greatest enthusiasm. President Jackson made h!s famou< Y tour (nrougii me misieru mains m ioo.>. b Baltimore aud Philadelphia received Jackson in grind style. He received i .j gre.it ovation in New York, and at Newr port, Concord, Provideuce and Boston there were grand demonstrations in hi* honor. At Boston, Harvard College = made him an LL. I). Ons of the senior* > addressed him with a speech of welcome in Latiu. The tour, though successful 1 in winning friends for the President, was 1 fnll of accidents. In New York the bridge that connected Castle Garden b with the Battery gave way with the 1 weight of the crowd upon it just as the l President had landed on the other side and precipitated the spectators iuto the water. Again, the General's horse took ) fright while going up Broadway, and on another occasion the wadding of a cannon Mime within a few inches of sinsreinir the the General's bristling head of frosted hair. ; The tour of John Tyler to Boston did P not call out gre it demonstrations, and ' the lack of enthusiasm at Baltimore and [ ( Philadelphia was painfully expressive. Andrew Johnson's famous tour to Chicago, was full of stirring incidents. \ General Grant was very fond of travel| i ing, and daring his Presidency he made ; | many trips, but they were not of the ' speech-making character. Rutherford B. Hayes made one tour throughout the ; South. The trips of President Arthur were largely made for his health, and they embraced many fishing and hunt| ing excursions. The trip to the Yellow' stone Park and that to Florida were the longest of them. During his Florida trip he became so ill that the newspapers were filled with reports that his life was in i danger. During the ea lier part of the L Florida trip a.stone was thrown through 1 the window of his special car, and as the ' train approached Wilmington, on the ' outward journey, the coupling that 1 | attached the car to the train broke and 1 left the President and his party for some time in the woods, while the remainder 1 ' of the passengers were carried two miles ! ' onwnra. ' I It was thus, it will be seen, with Presi! j dent Arthur as with the majority of the ' ^residential tourists 01 tlie past. A ! singular fatality seems to attend them while on the road. Washington was in suited and caught cold at Boston; Jack* son had his nose pulled at Alexandria, 1 i and narrowly escaped death from a canI non at New York. Tyler had two mcmr bers of his Cabinet killed while making 5 an excursion down ihc Potomac on the ^ Princeton, and a trip full of accidents r was that which President John Quincy r Adams made with Lafayette in visiting ex-President Monroe at his home at Oak Hill, Ya. The last great tragedy of our history occurred on the eve of a Presii dential tour. Perhaps the saddest tour [ a President ever made was that which Garfield took some weeks later when lie ! was carried to Elberon to d!e. i * "" A coyote in Washington Territory J was attacked by an immense hawk that t hit him fair on the ba-k of the head. The coyote would duck its head, then make s > snap at the lawk, but could not reach it, 1 and at the end of twenty minutes waf literally pecked to death. 1ME HOME DOCTOR. Insects in Ears.

Of course all who compete can get one of the premiums, but some of the 1 " year's reports sent us show that the pari ought tohave aeon well satisfied if they 1 1 not received any other benefit than the crease of eggs they got while making the tr For example the first premium was twer five dollars taken by C. A. French, Washi ton, N. H.,who fed thirty hens the Sherids Powder for eight weeks. The first week he only ten eggs; the Miird week the hens laid eggs, and the eighth week 208 eggs. During eight weeks trial he got 13SIS eggs which, at price of eggs in Boston or New York mark ' in mid-winter, would have yielded $46.00 $1.55for each nen in eiglit week's time.
