DIPHTHERIA is a disease which seems to be making itself much more at home in cities than formerly. It was more common In rural districts at one time. The latest Information regarding this disease is thot patients who recover from it are liable to act as centres of infection, even after they are apparently quite well. This is because the germs of the disease seem to linger in the throats of those who have been affect 4 and so may infect others. The moral of this information is that of being very care ful even regarding patients who have re covered from the disease. They should not be allowed to mingle with others (and especially with children) for some weeks after they are better, and probably some disinfectant should be used as a gargle to the throat daily. A weak solution of pee manganate of potash in water might thus be employed.  TSB WWI Or HAWKS IN ZAIILII DAYa value of hawks in ancient times may be OA. mated from the fact that, in the reign of Edward 111., the stealing of a hawk was reckoned felony; while lb was imprisonment for a year and • day. besides • fine at the king's pleasure, for lIRYT° to steal its eggs, even on his own ground. In Yeus7 reign the prioe of ahawk or of a grsr hound, was the same with the price of a rasa and, at one time, the robbing of a hawk's nest was considered equivalent to the murder el., _a human being. Daring the chivalric ages, 61" estimation in which hawks were held was carried to the most extravagant height—so much 10, that they were even brought into public pie of worship. Who, in the present day, believe that; the treasurer of the church 01 Auxerre enjoyed the privilege of assisting 16 divine service, on solemn days with a falcon od, his fist; or, that the lord of grid held that OF perching his upon the alter? And pt, of both these facts we are assured by Matson his' tory of Chivalry." No dishonour weld beret!! than that of a man of rank parting wa hawks; and even when taken prisoner in bettla he was not permitted to give his hawk as psrt of his ransom. In the Bayeux tapestrY,. tbe hawk on the fist was • mark of high nobility. No inferior person is represented with one; Harold, and Guy, Earl of Tonthlen, are the edt persons who bear them, ORIGINAL Maros MILL NO= Niro ; sidod'd value, Is. 3d. five quires; envelopes to mlisob..
