 The court of appeals of New York has decided in case which has been ten years in litigation, that no conditions of re- strictions of liability printed on bill of laden will release a railroad company from the consequences of its negligence. Some carloads of potatoes were shipped from Canada to St. Louis and should have gone through in six days. They were side tracked at transfer point and did not reach St. Louis for twenty-six days, when they were spoiled. The case has been through all the courts and now the court must pay for the potatoes.
 Some people are particular. A new theatre, the Columbia, is building in Bos- ton. It was near enough to completion for dedicatory ceremonies last week Mon- day, but yet is not nearly finished. On the programme used at the ceremony MT. G. w. Brown, who has been bossing the building job, was set down as Foreman of Bricklayers." It should have been Superintendent" and MT. Brown took offence at the slight put upon him and quit the job. He told the men on Tues day morning how he was injured, and the whole body of carpenters and masons, to the number of 250, vowed they would labor no more until the honor and dignity of their superintendent was vindicated. Their action threw 100 more men out of work. The manager offered the miserable excuse that it was all mistake The slanderous programme was altered and the following day the men went back to

SOME MEDICAL MATTERS.

One of the New York Herald's foreign correspondents has done good service in reporting the result of some researches made by M. Traussintz. These researches show that public conveyances occupied by copsumptive patients may contain the germs of tuberculosis. This physician inoculated guinea pigs with dust taken from cars of the express trains between Berlin and Merau, favorite resort of con- sumptives. The result was that tubercu- losis slowly developed in the inoculated animals. This experiment indicates the necessity for frequent and thorough dis infection of all cars, especially those used by phthisical patients.
 Concerning the communication of con- tagious eruptive levers the correspondent Bardeaux, as to what length of time it is necessary to keep away from school pupil who has been in contact with child suffering from holds that healthy children who have been with contaminated scholars should be iso lated for twelve days when scarlatina is feared, and sixteen days for measles. More over, it is evident that even after this quarantine, if the child exhibits any signs of sore throat, catarrhal or other suspi. cious symptoms, it should not be allowed to return to school But in case a chili has actually been taken down with any ot these contagious maladies the period ot isolation required is much longer. Int French Academy of Medicine and the Min ister of Public Instruction prescribe al isolation of forty days, counting from thu first day of the attack, in scarlet fever ant diphtheria; twenty five days for measles and chicken pox, twenty-two days fo. humps, and in whoopipg cough twent. days after the disappearance of the char acteristic symptoms of the disease.

 Six months later a robust young man crossed the ante-room, where a number of patients were waiting, and entered the of flee of Dr. B. At sight of the famous phy- sician he rushed up and embraced him.

 The microbe can't live in idleness in | this industrious world. Science has fixed | her eagle eye on the microbe, and has an l nounced that it can be used in the prepa- ration of flax fibre. Heretofore it has | taken several months to rot the straw so | that the fibre could be separated. It is now discovered that the rotting is brought about by microbes, and that they can be artificially bred for this purpose in vast numbers, so that enough microbes can be turned on the fibre to do the business in g few hours. This discovery, it is said, will soon make linen as cheap as cotton.
