the network Of blood-vessels in the

same order has been lately observed by
M. Oharpentier, Looking at q sky

light, he made the two fingers of his
right hand Cseparate about 0. to 0. 2m. },
to pass rapidly to and fro before his

uniform aspect of the sky was greatly
changed. On q white background ap-

Of violet purple color, separated by
white lines. Other persons, he says,
have repeated the experiment with
success. He gives reason for thinking
that the hexagonal images correspond
to the cones in the fovea and yellow

form q sort Of hexagonal mosaic. The
white lines probably correspond to
filaments charged, with crystals,of pig

Guardian ana Ward.

In deciding petition for leave to ex-
pand money for the Flade minors Of
Philadelphia, Judge Hanna gave some
important advice respecting the duties
Of guardians in the management Of
their wards estates. A guardian, the
Judge said, was entitled to the custody
Of his ward, and was bound to maintain
him in style suitable to the wards
means and condition in life. If either
OF both parents were living they were
entitled tothe custody Of the child for
nurture and education. It was also to
he remembered that as the father was
bound to support his own children, not
Withstanding they possessed q seperate
estate, he could not, although guardian,
appropriate, the income from their prop
erty for that purpose, much less disturb
the principal. But IL his private means
and income were small, he would be
allowed assistance from their fortunes
to enable him to bring them up in be-
coming style; and whore mother was
unable to properly support her children
she would, upon sufficient reasons being
shown, not only be reimbursed the cost
of their past maintenance but also gran
ted an allowance for future support.

are very effective in the decoration of
the shops, as are also imitati majolioa,
and forged bronzes, to say nothing Of
the mock jewelry OF the last century,
much of which now comes into tho
market and attracts the ordinary tourist.
