PRECAUTIONS IN SlCKNlSS.—Professor Tyndall has
shown that the eountlees miriode of motes that are seen
dancing in every sun-hewn ere organic particles, and
among them are symotio bodies which are germs of
disease, These bodies are in ooneentrated force in the
rooms occupied by persons suffering from or who have
died of scarlet fever, hence the absolute necessity of
isolating the sick as much es possible and of adopting
the precautions for the hygienic management of the in-
valid chamber which have been drawn up by the medical
officers of health, by the medical officer of the Privy
I ...nod, by Dr. Budd of Maud, and other authorities.
By the intelligeot observance of these precautions some-
thing may be effected in arresting the progress of this
fatal epidemic —Registrar awstrars Report.

agitated as to whether long Or short toilettes slvould be adopted

can scarcely wish to see them set aside for evening reuulo.e.
to the day time a long drew is hardly to be wen, not even for
ordinary visiting. Faye, taffetas, and velvet are all in vogue
for ball drowse; but thinner material is decidedly orderable

THE BISHOP OF MANCHESTER'S WILL.
Th. eldest daughter of the late Dr. Prins. Lee,
Bishop of lasnobeiter, male a runaway match, and in
his will the Bishop decreed that she should get coshing
sod be deprived of all interest in his property. " Thu
I do, not in anger," he added, "hot because I hold it
a duty not to let such conduct as hers sad the parson
the married proved successful." Day after day, seek
after week, year after year, had Dr. Lee, as a BiSbn
of the Church, end in Has name of his flock, beer.
offering up the most solemn at all petitions for pardon,
mid uttering the words, "Forgive us our debts as we
forgive our debtor., ;" yet, when his own power of f.,r.

his pardon of a daughter who had dieobeyed ;)).
marrying the man of her choice—be proctaim., that she
had long placed herself beyond the pale of his bounty.

well.meaning man, and fancied that he was rung a
most Chridlin act ; but such a vier, only invc...-ta the
