PRECAUTIONS AGAINST CHOLERA.

"That there was more than mere fancy in
GeoFirev Mainwaring's account of the vision that
appeared to him: Oh! don't misunderstand me,"
he hastened_to add,: seeing the lawyer's:pitying look
of incredulity. " I don't mean any other than a
natural explanation, for if what I suspect is correct
—and it is to satisfy myself on that point that I re-

The College of Physicians, thinking that the public
in England may fairly look to them for advice and
guidance, have issued instructions. They, above all
things, recommend sanitary measurers, pure water,
free ventilation, avoidance of overcrowding, great
cleanliness, and thorough drainage. They point out
the danger of excess in eating and drinking. Milk
and also drinking water should be boiled; vessels
used for food should be cleansed with boiling water.
Persons engaged about cholera pitients are not, with
proper precautions, more liable to the disease. Of
these precautions extreme cleanliness and the use of
disinfectants, such as carbolic acid, a,ro the principal.
House-to-house visitation should be organised mid
temporary hospitals established. These hospitals
should be numerous rather than large. Any unusual
looseness of the bowels ought to be promptly attended
to. Medical advice should be sought, and meanwhile
ordinary medicines, such as chalk mixture and
cinnamon powder may be taken. These instructions
are perhaps mild and trite, but they are sensible; and,
as the most of them apply to other disemses as well as
cholera, they cannot be accepted to, gratefully by
the public.—Z-vonte . • , •

STCMPED.—Complaints have been made of the
"draw" in the match between the Notts men and the
Australians. The game should have been played out,
says everybody. We beg to differ from everybody.
rl It is only natural that a qaine with Notts should be
Fq/ks.

"MOOR So.—lt is curious that sportsmen in
"smalls" should always brag about having "big bags.°

LAWN TENNIS.—" How did you get on in the tour-
nament against Lickem and Smash, Jack ?" "Oh,
they won the first set; in the second we beat them;
the third we hadn't a chsnce—they simply ran away
from us.' "Ran away? Oh, what cowards !"—.llfoon,-

ON THE FIRST.-Mr. Cayman: "Preserving game
costs a lot, does it, my lord? Don't believe a word
of it. Look at the per counterer side of the question.
You invites your friends to do all the killin', they tips
the keepers—as ought to 'pay you for their places,
like the waiters, do, by George !—and you sells the
birds at Leadenhall. Why, bless my soul! Part-
ridges ought to be a paying Game. ha! ha! ha!"
—Funny Fias.
