rounded by fat and consisting OF three parts,
viz: The Anterior. and the Interior. the Exterior:
The anterior absorbs. Interior consists of
tissues or veins, which serve as deposit for the
urine and convey it to the exterior. The exte-
rior is conductor also, terminating in single
tube and called the uToter. The ureters are
connected with the bladder.
The bladder is composed ofvarious coverings
or tissues, divided into parts, viz !: the Upper,
the Lower, the Nervous, and the Mucous. The
upper expels. the lower retains. Many have a
desire to urinate without the ability, others uri
nate without the ability to retain. This fire.
quently occurs in chldren.

present, and notwithstanding the spacious

to such official receptions, the crush was
very great. The Emperor and Empress
were both present. though masked and in
dominoes, as were the Prince and Princess
Of Hohenzollern. The hostess herself
wore Pompadour toilet of great rich ness
and elegance. and was literally covered
with diamonds. In the course of the eY
ening, a Chinese procession passed through
the saloons, preceded by the sound Of
tamtams, and conveying on a gorgeous car
the Empress of China, represented by
Madame Goldsmith, an Eogish lady,
magnifceutly attired. One of the chief
attractions Of this pageant consisted in The
car being the one in which the Baron
eros made his public entry into the CAPT
tai Of the Chinese Empire, after the taking
Of Pekin. The accoulrements, dresses,
etc, were all splendid. and consisted
mostly Of original trophies Of French arms

most splendid toilet Of the night was that

The girde, composed Of large emeralds

whole IS said 10 exceed 1900, 600 francs,
