PUBLIC PREE LIBRARY NOTES -The
result of a competitive examina
tion at which tho candidates were young
mon ranging in age from eighteen to
twenty two years and all of whom with
probably onooxception had enjoyed tho
advantages of a high school education
revealed a want of familiarity with Eng
lish and American authors and classics
that is absblutely startling not to say
appalling Among the questions were
the following What author wrote 1
Idylls of tho King 2 Endymion3 Man
fred 4 Lady of the Lake 5 Henry Es
mond and Name one work of
each of the following authors 1 Chau
cer 2 Milton 3 Hawthorne 4 Drydon
5 Dickons
One of the candidates answered seven
of the questions correctly and another
six The best of tho others knew the
answers to but four while one poor fel
low thought he knew but one of the ten
questions and he said Milton wrote
Lady of the Lake Another equally
as modest in the estimate of his attain
ments but more fortunate in his guess
ascribedDickens Novelsand Pickwick
Papers to their proper author and to
that extent evinced his superiority over
the other Even he who made the most
favorable showing thought Spencer
wrote Endymion and Browning Henry
Esmond Anther thought thero was
some connection between the produc
tions mentioned in tho first question
and the authornamed in thesecond and
set opposite those five titles in their
order the names of Milton Chaucer
Shakespeare Hawthorne and Dryden
He correctly answered three of the re
maining five questions and while he did
not know when he came to this part of
the examination which he bad assum
ed a moment before wasj the converse
of the preceeding question what Dryden
had written ho thought Chaucer was
the author of Tales of a Wayside Inn
The candidate who had answered six of
the questions correctly thought John
Keats wrote Endymion and ascribed
Ivanhoe to Dickens The one who had
answered but four of the questions cor
rectly said that Longfellow wrote Endy
mion Edgar Allen Poe Henry Esmond
and believed Hawthorne was the author
of The Knickerbockers
Three said that Tennyson wrote Idylls
of the King which a fourth ascribed to
Milton From the answers- in these
papers one might well believe that a
diversity of opinion existed as to the
authorship of Endymion variously cred
ited to Spencer John Keats Longfellow
and Chaucer Not one answered the
question correctly nor did any one know
who wrote Manfred To this question
but one candidate had the temerity to
make answer and he bold and wild in
all his replies said Shakespeare Only
three knew that Lady of the Lake was
written by Scott which a fourth ascrib
ed to Milton while but one knew the
authorship of Thackerys masterpiece
which was laid by three others at the
doors of Browning Edgar Allen Poe
and Dryden
Asked to name some one work of
Chaucer two named the Canterbury
Tales a third apparently recalling that
the father of English literature had
written some sort of Tales mentioned
Tales of a Wayside Inn while the fourth
the only other man who attempted an
answer to the question thought that
Chaucer was che author of Gullivers
Travels A curious development of this
analysis was the fact that a larger num
ber of correct answers was made in re
sponse to the inquiry for one work of
Milton than to any other question all
those who attempted an answer naming
Paradise Lost Two gave the Scarlet
Letter and one The House of 7 Gables
as a work of Hawthorne while still an
other said Hawthorne had written The
Knickerbockers Only one hazarded a
guess as to what Dryden had written
He said simply Fables Three nam
ed David Copperfield as a work of Dick
ens A fourth remembered that Dickens
had written novels and the Pickwick
Papers while still another ascribed to
that author Scotts great storyIvanhoe
Someone is to blame for this woeful
exhibition of ignorance All these young
men have had the educational advan
tages that this great state so prides her
self on furnishing to her children They
are probably young men of more than
average intelligence for their ages and
stations in life but the result of this ex
amination seems to indicate that a cog
has been slipped somewhere in their
training

Editor Tribune
My attentionhas been called to an
article in your valuable paper of recent
date on tho subject of vaccination
If the writers reference to the Jennor
and the English people means anything
wo infer he aimed to convey the idea
that they were from small pox being
protected by vaccination
Let us examine tho subject from this
standpoint and see what we can find
During the epidemic of 1871 more than
10000 porsons died of small poxjn Eng
land and Wales 7000 of whom had
been vaccinated Thero were 125000
cases in the whole country There
were 30000 small pox cases reported in
tho German army in 1870
Bavaria has been undercompulsory
vaccination laws since 1807 In 1871
thero weie 31000 small pox cases in
Bavaria 29350 had been vaccinated
5070 died
Sweden is said to bo one of the best
vaccinated countries on the globe In
1874 there was a death rate in Sweden
of 10290 per million from smallpox
The city of Leicester in England with a
population of 200000 has rejected vacci
nation for tho last 20 years For the
whole of that period Leicester reports a
death rate of small pox at 10 per million
less than one death per annum Now
let us examine the report of tho army
and navy every recruit for the army or
navy is re vaccinated unless he has re
cently had small pox Yet the deaths
in the army and navy from small pox
were 37 per million for the same period
There can be no more convincing test
than this It shows the worthlessness
of the simple precaution In the
small pox epidemic of 1871 Leicester
and Birmingham were both well vacci
nated towns In Leicester there were
327 small pox cases per 10000 of tho
population While in Birmingham
there wore only 213
Now notice the contrast Remem
ber that Leicester has rejected vaccina
tion to such an extent that in 1894 it had
only 7 vaccinations to 10000 population
While Birmingham was vaccinated up
to 240 per 10000 population It has
been shown that the disease was brought
to Leicester on twelve separate occasions
during the epidemic of 1891 94 Small
pox cases in Leicester per 10000 popula
tion 19 in Birmingham 63 Deaths in
Leicester 1 Deaths in Birmingham 5
An official report of the city of War
rington states that 992 per cent of the
population had been vaccinated when
the epidemic of 1892 93 struck them
The comparison with unvaccinated Lei
cester stands as follows Leicester 19
per 10000 of population Warrington
123 per 10000 Deaths in Leicester 14
per 10000 Deaths in Warrington 114
per 10000 This is conclusive evidence
that vaccination is not only useless but
positively injurious After a careful in
vestigation of the history of vaccination
I am convinced it is one of the greatest
delusions ever saddled upon the human
race
That it is a filthy and dangerous prac
tice originating back in the dark ages
when advocates of the flat earth referred
to by the writer were more numerous
than they are now To unlearn what
we have learned amiss seems to be one
of our most difficult tasks
It seems there are but few who have
the desire to reconsider and the power
to readjust their preconceived opinions
ideas thoughts and arguments opposed
to the way they were taught to think is
just about as effective as is water pour
ed on a ducks back
Anti vaccinationists have no fight
with those who desire to be vaccinated
The fight is with those who desire to
compel the anti to be vaccinated
Vaccination either protects one from
taking small pox or mitigates small pox
when one has taken it or it does neither
of those things
Now if it neither protects nor miti
gates then it is useless and ought not to
be enforced by law
If it only mitigates then since the
mildest varioloid is as contagious as the
most severe form vaccinated small pox
is no less dangerous to the community
than unvaccinated Again if the doc
trine is true that it protects those who
believe it will go and be vaccinated and
then being safe themselves have no
son
therefore no right to enforce it up-
on others

Catarrh of tle
Stomach
For many years it has been supposed that
Catarrh of the Stomach caused indigestion
and dyspepsia but the truth Is exactly the
opposite Indigestion causes catarrh Re
peated attacks of indigestion inflames the
mucous membranes lining the stomach and
exposes the nerves of the stomach thus caus
ing the glands to secrete mucin instead of
tho Juices of natural digestion This is
called Catarrh of the Stomach
