Fox, two alleged spirit mediums, protesting
to have recently converted Queen Victoria
from the Christian to spiritual religion by
their manifestations. engaged the Academy of

Sr. JoEN, the disciple whom the Saviour
loved, had pupil named Polycarp, whose
martyrdom on hill near Smyrna is one OF
the sublimest and most affecting scenes
in early church history when the pagan pro-
consul told him at the stake to abjure Christ,
and he should be released and retored to the
church of Smyrna, of which he was pastor,

and said: Eighty and six years have /

snd sentenced to be hanged, to isolate him
from other prisoners, keep him more closely
confined than before, and exclude him from all

sleeping apartment. This would not seem 30
bad, but it is surely little scandalous that he
is allowed to see all visitors who call, and to
do a thriving trade in his. own photographs.

investigating the probability of spread of a
certain epidemic which has just been visiting
Leeds through The medium of the milk sup
ply. He has come to the conclusion that the
way in which some OF the milk supplies are

operations Of whole household are being car
ried out, with, in many cases, gallons Of milk
standing in open vessels, is simply ready
method OF spreading typhoid or other infec-
