GENTLEMEN,—I beg to inform you that I have derived unspeakable benefit from GWILTM EVAMS* QUININE BITTEBS I was so weak when I first took it chat I could not walk to the fireside myself without the assist- ance of my mother althonch I Was at the tMae t&tinll( medicine that I had from doctor!! wAlch did me no good. One dltY a friend told me of GWILYM EVANS" QUININE BITTEES, and after I had taken it I felt better in a short time. I htva unbounded faith in GWILYJJ EVANS' QDININX BITTERS, and I thoroughly believe that I would havH been dead were it not for the fact that I took it; and I wish to recommend it as the best remedy 1 ever had for Weakness, and I wish evei y one to try it. I am certain they will derive benefit by so doing.—Yours faithfully, ELLEN WILLIAMS. EVANS' QUININE BITTERS. THE VEGETABLE TONIC FOR NERVOUSNESS. TESTIMONIAL. HOPE HALL, BETHESDA, CARNARVONSHIRE, SIR,—Though I have never seen you, I feel that I am under great personal obligations to you as the discoverer of what has proved indeed a blessing to mankind—the now world renowned QUININE BITTERS. To it I owe release from pain, an the restoration of bodily health and strength, when all other remedies and doctors had failed to give me any lasting benefit- My experience has indeed been a wonderful one. Few men have suffered more than 1 have done, and certainly there can be but few cs-s which could be considered more hopeless than mine before I tried your invaluable remedy. I was compelled to be very carefnll\S to what food I partook of, as nearly everything I ate ave me reat pain. My stomach was distended with wind, which again pressed upon the other great organs of the body, such as the Lttftg*, Liver and Heart; upon the fulfilling of whose functions proper bodO, health, comfort and strength neces. sarily depend. So great was this distention at fcfees, and so greatly did it affect my heart, that! often feared my heart would stop its beating for ever I 1 felt weak, dispirited and nervous I feared to speak a word in public, as I felt I might at any moment tall dead. My breatmng was difficult, rapid and weak, while sometimes my heart beat so loudly that people 1fbo sat in he sarne room with me eotud plainly hear it. You may therefore well conceive that my lot was indeed a pitiable one, my life a burden to me and a trouble and anxiety to others. In this unhappy condition I was persuaded to try year QuiiflNK BITTERS, though from my experience of other remedies, wbicn I had tried in vain, I had very little faith in this remedy. I tried a 2s 9d bottle. Before I had finished taking thfs I felt such a decided change for the better that I deter- mined npon trying a larger bottle 4s 6d. The benefit I received was so evident that I readily obtained another 48 6d bottle, with the most happy consequences. Now I am strong and healthy—perfectly healthy—and have beeD so from tbat time until now, stronger In mind and body than I had been for years previously, and all that at a cost of only lls9d. Sine* then I have recommended it to dozens of atfter*. and I have never yet seen anyone give ? a fair trial without being benefited by it and perfectly satisfied with it. You are at perfect liberty to make any use you may see fit of this letter.—Yours, very gratefully, E. W. JONES. 3WILYM EVANS' QUININE BITTERS, THE VEGETABLE TONIC FOR INDIGESTION. TESTIMONIAL. lJys Awea, Gwynfa, Rbyl, April 17th, 1895. Dear SIR,—Some time ago I was greatly troubled with Bile and Indigestion and was ad- vised to make a trial of your renowned prepar- ations, viz., Gwilym Evans' Quinine Bitters" and H Digestive Pearls," and it is with much pleasure I testify to the great benefit I have reo ceived from their use. I have taken several4s6d bottles of the BItters and am resolved to keep a bottle always at hand and take a daily dose an hoar before breakfast, for it has not only banished the headaches I frequently suffered from, and the neuralgia and rheumatic pains and other ailments which often troubled me are gone for ever, I hope but I can also add it has been effectual in removing the Bile and Indigestion. I find that it has improved my appetite, purified the blood and enlivened my spirits. 1 have recommended it to several others who now highly praise it as an effectual remedy tor different ailments.—I remain, Sir, years gratefully, JAMES nAVIES (lago Tege).

The Man About Town. I There's a good deal of philosophy and shrewd observation crystallised into a North-country proverb which asserts that There's nowt so queer as folk." The same truth is put in another form in the Midlands, where one often hears "Child- ren's like blades o' grass; there's no two alike." "Except in mischief, cautiously added a Bachelor once. But certain it is that folk are queer. For the world is a big place and full of all sorts of people. It Burns had written a personal column in a daily paper he would never have penned that oft-quoted couplet 0 wad some power the giftie gie us To see ourselves as otberig gee us. He would have had his wish gratified many times, though I am not sure that the result would have been to free him from any foolish notion, in case he had any, and a patriotic Scot will not admit any such impeachment. The past two or three weeks have brought in an abundance of comment from readers, which proves that the world is full of queer folk, judged as a whole. In the delicious quiet and relaxation of the day that falls between Saturday and Mon- day I have been musing over the wisdom of old Akenside, who warns us that" Such and so various are the tastes of men." This turn of thought was suggested, as I have already hinted, by my correspondents. Writes one,in a flattering moodj: Dear Man About Town,—Keep up your tramps in the country. You seem to sweep a breath of fresh air into your breezy notes which affords a fellow relief to experience after a day's grind at the Docks. I can read your I poets' verses with gusto after a day of ebarterinp and shop on 'Change." Oddly enough thL3 was followed by another who wrote "Dear Man About the Cotintry,—Let every cobbler stick to his last, and just you keep to the town and whack our Town Councillors and Aldermen. If you go into the country and leave the town they will be all asleep in no time." And great is his faith in the power of an occasional, paragraph Taking my correspondents in pairs like Plutarch contrasted his Lives," we get another interesting set of opposites. You do well to put a whiff of country air into your column," observed a Londoner. Depend upon it, people who live in towns get too much of the town in the newspapers —too much of the sordid humdrum of every- day existence as pictured in the police and divorce courts, the accidents,and the business reports. The most popular things in a big city are the Parks, and if you want to see the brighter side of town life you must go there on a sunny afternoon or evening. A healthy man or child loves the country, and a sick patient finds pleasure in looking at cut flowers by the bedside and inhaling their sweetness." Turn we now to the next. It is a whisper of con- fidence "Dear Man About Town,—Give us your cogent notes on Corporation affairs we don't want flowers and figures." These pros and cons are very interesting, but lest you should weary of them I will content myself with a general contrast. The writer of the following sentences which I quote, penned a column letter to state his disbelief in a conclusion I arrived at, -and then added But I like the tone of your notes. Your opinions are generally sound, the tone good, and you never descend to the gutter, and most writers play low and make a great mistake." What a pretty, patronising compliment I blushed crimson, but must hold a man sincere when he sits down to write a column in order to disprove an opinion with which he does not agree 1 The antithesis of this came the other day in the following My Dear Crtiic, — I believe in a moral tone pervading newspapers, which get into the homes of the very poorest as well as the rich now a days, but you write above the heads of your readers I need not disabuse his mind. Echo readers manifest their appreciation of their paper too well to make such beating of the air possible. Vanitas vanitatum The cry of the wise man that aU is vanity was an utterance of despair. But it is not wise to endeavour to compress the whole cosmic theory into a single idea, nor to allow oneself to be swayed .about by every opinion one hears. Old iEsop warned the sages of the fate of the Man with the Ass but nowadays, alas men and women give Æsop's Fables to the occupants of the nursery and read neurotic novels themselves How- ever, had I been disposed to reillustrate the fable of the Man with the Ass in this case, I should have found an antidote for the disease and a restraining influence in the following communication which reached me last night :— Dear Man About Town,—Every night, barring Sundays, I get my pipe on and read your notes. It's often gone midnight, but I reads 'em and we have some rare arguments about you. As a rule I read the news, and then try to think what you have written about. Sometimes I'm sure I have it, but when I read the column it's all off. You always seem on a fresh tack. There's something new every day. and you are generally right, according to my thinking. This is where we argue. My wife says you don't get it all out of your own head, because a man can't understand bonnets and capes like your notes, and I argue that a chap who goes about with his eyes open and has nothing else to do, sees most things and knows 'em. To settle our arguments just write a line." To be candid, I don't pick my brains with a mattock and spade, neither do I write out my methods of arriving at conclusions and pin them on my sleeve. The ideas, over which my correspondent and his better half dispute, usually flow out from the end of the broad oblique nib of a well worn pen in crazy caligraphy, which causes the compo- sitors to pray for me, and I subsequently to grant them absolution for the wrongs they do me ) Occasionally the notes reel out of the Typewriter, which I tap gently when writing words of approval, but which I punch with vehemence when in disagree- ment I am waiting for the Yankees, who now do sums in arithmetic by machines, to invent a Typewriter with brains and an electric battery for motor power, so that with the daily consciousness ot an empty column gaping at me I may smoke at mine ease, touch a button, and listen to the lively click of the writing machine until the column is filled with wisdom and light My correspondent will see that I have got these notes out of the heads of writers like himself We must live to differ. Dead-level uniformity kills infinite variety is the salt of existence. All nature sets us the example. Let us agree to differ, and rejoice that we are at variance As the result of a recent run up into the Hills I find that a very general opinion pre- vails among the inhabitants of the valleys of Glamorgan and Monmouthshire that a man must be pretty well a millionaire before he can visit the Cardiff Exhibition and see everything there that is worth seeing. I hasten, therefore, to disabuse my Hill readers of this theory, which is grossly absurd and is as fictitious as some of the other Plain tales from the Bills" that Rudyard Kipling Ihas bountifully bestowed upon a weary world. Now these are the facts. The entrance to the Exhibition is one shilling, and for this amount the visitor is able to inspect all the exhibits in the Exhibition buildings, to stroll round the grounds, to witness the water show of Santiago, and to listen to the finest military bands that the musical talent of the land can produce. I put it to my Hill friends—what more can be expected for a bob 1" I go further, and ask, "Is it not a magnificent shilling's- worth 1" Of course the side shows are a trifle extra. There is sixpence to see Waterloo, three- pence for the Flying Lady, while if the Hill- man be a reckless soul he may perchanse go in for three pennyworth of switchback There are a few other shows to be seen, and if a man is anxious to spend money of course he can dJ it, but what I want to set clearly forth is this—that if a man arrives in Cardiff with the return half of his ticket and half-a-crown in his pocket he can spend a most enjoyable day at the Cardiff Exhibi- tion and still return with sufficient change in his pocket for a smoke on the morrow. Let us have no more of. these Plain tales from the Hills Dear Man About Town,—I have noticed with some interest your occasional notes on Patriotism. As a rule Patriotism is much misunderstood, and he is held to be the best Patriot who shouts loudest about his love of country and language, and is most parochial in his views. That is not your failing, and I have admired many times the soundness of your views. You were writing on menu cards in French, and asked why some caterer did not set the example in Wales of printing the | menu in Welsh and English. I have often J wondered why not ? Every book on cookery, I nearly, gives the English as well as the French names for the different dishes, and someone could 4 just put it down in Welsh for us. Your reference to the menu re- minded me of Scott's I lv*xihoe,' in which you may remember Gurth Mid Wamba com- plain that the farm animals, as long as they had the toil of looking after them, are called the Saxon and British names, sheep, ox, calf, and pig. When these animals are served upon the table of the lords, they are eaten and enjoyed as mutton, beef, veal, and pork. The trouble is a very old-fashioned one.' Yours, A PATRIOTIC SAXON." I have been surprised that some one has not long ago said a word for printing menus in Saxon and Celtic for public dinners held in Cardiff.

I Men of the Day. Sir Hercules Robinson was born in 1824, and was educated at the Royal Military College, Sand- burst. He held for some years a commission in the Fusiliers, but retired from the service in 1842, and was employed in Various capacities in the Civil Service in Ireland until 1852. He was appointed President of Montserrat in 1854, Lieut- enant-Governor of St. Christopher's in 1855. and succeeded Sir John Bow- ring as Governor of Hong Kong in 1859, when he received the honour of knighthood. In 1863 he was President of the Com- misiion appointed to en- quire into the condition of the Straits Settlements, and Was promoted to the Governorship of Ceylon in January, 1865, and was I Governor of New South Wales in March, 1872. On SIB HEBCULK3 BOBINSON I October 15th, 1874, he annexed the Fiji Islands to the British Empire. In December, 1878, he was appointed Governor of New Zealand, and finally, in August, 1880, he succeeded Sir Bartle Frere as Governor of the Cape of Good Hope and Imperial Commissioner for South Africa. In 1889 Sir Hercules retired after 36 years' servioe as a Colonial Governor, but his reappointment to the Cape was announced in March, 1895, in succession to Sir Henry, now Lord, Loch.

I LLANDAFF FIELDS, I At the quarterly meeting of the Cardiff County Council to-day, when the minutes of the Parks Committee came up for consideration, Mr Veall asked what was being done with reference to the Llandaff Fields, and he further expressed a hope that the oommittee would not shelve the matter. Mr Ebenezer Beavan said that the secretary of the Ecclesiastical Commissioners gave them bis word that as soon as they were ready he would communicate with, them (the Parks Committee), They had also seen the solicitors and surveyors of the Ecclesiastical Commissioners, and they had repeated what the secretary had said. Mr Harpur had also been to London, and had written them reminding them that nothing bad been yeb heard from them, and asking if he conld do any good by waiting upon them. The reply had come that the Ecclesiastical Commis- sioners were not yet ready. Mr Yeall said that on March 23rd the town clerk was asked to report on the legality of the Council's proposals, and the borough engineer was asked to prepare plans. but since, so far as he knew, nothing had been done. Mr Ebenezer Beavan explained that the borough engineer had got out two or three alternative schemes for the laying out of the land, and among these schemes was one made by Mr Veall himself. He (the speaker) hoped that these plans would be sufficiently advanced to be sub- mitted to the next meeting of the Parks Com- mittee.

A WARNING TO DOG KEEPERS. I New that the weather is warm, and the hottest period of the summer is at hand, owners ot dogs should see that these animals are kept under proper control, and take warning from the case heard before Stipendiary Lewis at CardiB Police Court to-day. A man named Heath (described by a policeman as a loafer), of Earl-street, was charged with allowing a ferocious dog to be at arge on April 28th. P.O. Warren said that on the date mentioned the dog rushed out of a passage and tore his trousers and bit him. P.C, Pitman and a youth named Wellington also gave the dog a bad name, it having bit each of those witnesses the same month. Defendant and a witness denied that the dog was vicious, but the magistrate held that the charge had been proved, and sentenced defendant to 14 days' hard labour. Subsequently, on an appeal being made to the Stipendiary, defendant was fined on condition that the dog should be destroyed forthwith.

TRAPACCIDENTATILFRACOMBE I Two Persons Seriously Injurttl. I [SPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE" EOHO. "] I This morning a fearful accident happened to a trap party from West Down to Ilfracombe. The occupants were Johu Tucker, dairyman Brayley, an old man and Mrs Joslyn, widow, all of West Down. Near Ilfracombe Cemetery the britching broke, and the horse WM forced against the heda, the occupants being thrown down the embankment. Tucker, the owner of the trap, escaped, but Joslyn and Brayley were so injured that Drs. Maokeith and Gardner attended them. The woman is progressing favourably, but little hopes are entertained of Brayley's recovery, be being still unconscious, and rupture to the kidneys is feared. The acci- dent caused great excitement in Ilfracombe, the parties being well known. The horse was injured and the trap was much damaged.

HEALTH OF SIR JOHN MILLAIS. I I An Operation Performed, I The Press Association says thero was a great deal of anxiety in artistic circles in London on Saturday and yesterday, with reference to the health of Sir John Millais. Dr. Homes and Mr Treves were called in at midnight an Saturday, and the condition of Sir John was so serious that an operation had immediately to be performed. The severity of the symptoms was at once relieved, and the patient's condition since has thown con- siderable improvement. To-day's Bulletin. I The Press As-iociation states that Sir John Millais, on whom tracheotomy was performed early on Sunday morning, passed a fair night, and his condition is as satisfactory as can be expected in view of the nature of the operation.

I A NEGLECTFUL HUSBAND. I I Exemplary Punishment. I I Mr C. H. Evans and Mr David Duncan had a case before them at Cardiff Second Police Court this morning in which David Hughes (47) was charged on a warrant with neglecting to pay the sum of 25 16s 6d due under a maintenance order to his wife, Mary Huhes, made on the 3rd February at Cardiff this year. Mrs Hughes gave evidence to the effect that she had not reoeived any money from prisoner since the order was made. He had lived at 36, Lower Cathedral-road with his sister, but had no furniture or effects. Inspector George Durston told the Court that prisoner bad done no work for three years. He spent his time in skittle and bagatelle-rooms, and on one occasion he had seen him drunk in a public-house. The magistralie8 ordered prisoner to be incarcerated for six weeks.

I Murder by a Boy. I He Stabbed his Mother with a Carving Knife. I EXTRAORDINARY CALLOUSNESS PARIS, Monday.—A young lad named Courty, 14 years of age, mortally wounded his stepmother yesterday in a house in the Rue du Rnisseau by stabbing her between the shoulders with a carving knife. The boy went home at 4 o'clock and demanded something to eat in such an impertinent manner that his mother refused to give him anything. He then took up a carving knife and stabbed the woman, who fell bleeding to the floor. In the coolest manner possible the boy helped himself to some coffee and bread, and was enjoying the meal when his father returned home and found his wife bleeding to death. When arrested and told his victim was dying the boy answered. Well, she ought to have brought me something to eat when I asked for it. "-Dalziel.

WESTERN SEWERS SCHEME. Still Nothing Done. Diphtheria Reported in Canton. At the quarterly meeting of the Cardiff County Counoil, held at the Town Hal4 Cardiff, to-day, Mr Illtyd Thomas asked the chairman of the Public Works Committee if anything had yet been done to provide a new outlet for the Canton or Western District sewerage. It appeared to him that something ought to be done at once, for there had been recently reported several oases of diphtheria in Canton. Alderman D. Lewis said that he could hardly say that anything had yet been done. It was a gigantic scheme, and one that would require sound consideration, but he agreed that it was a question that must be at once looked into, the sooner the better. He hoped, however, that the inhabitants of this great town would not be frightened by one or two cases of whooping cough into all going away to the seaside !—Mr Mildon I hope also that the chairman of the Works Committee will not be frightened by the sum of money required to carry out this scheme. (Laughter.)--Mr Illtyd Thomas again pressed the question, and asked if he was to understand that absolutely nothing bad been done in the matter since the old scheme was thrown out in 1894 ?—Alderman D. Lewis I must refer you to Mr Harpur. The matter has been considered very carefully.—Mr Crossman ex- pressed a hope that the committee would not push the matter off on to the borough engineer, as they wore really responsible.—Mr Veall: We have asked a simple question has anything been done since the Bill was rejected in 1894 ?—Mr F. J. Beavan explained that the Western sewers question had been under consideration and that the borough engineer had prepared an alternative scheme which had failed, and that at this moment therefore they had no scheme to replace it.—The matter then dropped.

A SUSPICIOUS CHARACTER. I Alertness of a Cardiff Cab Inspeotor. Mr John Gibbs, the Great Western Railway cab inspector, at noon on Saturday saw a man on the up platform moving about behind a lady in a manner which excited his suspicions. He kept his eye on the man and saw him put his hand over the lady's shoulder with the apparent in- tention of opening her handbag. The inspector followed him up to a carriage door, when he suddenly turned round and made his way back to the ticket office. Gibbs then noticed that the lady's bag was open, and upon asking her if she had missed anything it trans- pired that her purse had disappeared. The inspector went in pursuit of the man, who was rapidly making his way towards Riverside, arrested him, and gave him into the custody of a police constable. He was brought before Mr C. H. Evans and Mr David Duncan to-day, at the Police Coart, under the name of James Coles, on a charge of being a suspected person and loitering at the Great Western Rail- way Station for the purpose of committing a felony on the 9th instant. Inspector Durston said the police did not know whether he bad given a correct name. At first he flatly refused to give his name or address, but ultimately said that he bad come from Birmingham. Witness asked for a remand in order to make inquiries into prisoner's ante- cedents. The Bench remanded prisoner for a week.

A VERY HARD CASE. I At Cardiff Police Court to-day Stipendiary Lewis beard a summons against John William Jeune, captain of the ketch Umpire, by his wife for desertion and non-maintenance, Mr Percy Ciode appearing for complainant. Defendant did not appear. Mrs Mary Jeune said her husband bad been gone for some time, and that when she saw him at Swansea several months ago he said he did not want to maintain her or live with her any more. He, however, did not say be would not return to her. The Stipendiary said in that case there was no evidence of desertion. Complainant had proved neglect only, which was a matter for the guardians rather than the Police Court.—Com- plainant Well, I have no possible meaus of living.-The Stipendiary Apply to the guar- dians and tell them of your circumstances. They will make you an allowance and take proceedings against your husband if he returns. I must dis- miss the case.

ANOTHER AMERICAN FILIBUS- TERING EXPEDITION. NEW YORK, Monday Morning.—The Indefati- gable Association of Cubans, now in the United States supplying the sinews of war to the belligerents for Cuba, managed to outwit the Spaniards who were watching in New York Bay on Saturday night for suspicious move- ments in aid of the revolted Cubans. The Cubans managed to transfer a large cargo of arms and ammunition to the steamship Laurada, and after the vessel had sailed down the bay she took off over 100 men from barges that had pub off from the Long Island shore. The Laurada resumed her voyage for Cuba yesterday morning. Goiieral Ruiz is in command of this expedition.— Central News.

SCENE AT A FUNERAL. Dee6asisdls Friend Jumps Into the Grave A painful scene was witnessed at Chatham Cemetery yeaterday during tpe fun era) of Mrs Harvey, who died through accidentally drinking oarbolic acid. A female friend of deceased, who had been very excited and hysterical, jumped into the grave upon the coffin,exclaiming, Bury me with Eliza." Ladders were fetched, but the woman declined to mount, and repeatedly declared her wish to die. Ultimately two of the undertaker's men descended and forcibly removed her.

SUNDAY DRINKING AT LLANDAFF. I A Publioan Fined. I At the Llandaff Police Court to-day—before Mr R. C. G. Dornford, Colonel Woods, and Mr John Gunn—Alfred Davies landlord of the Railway Inn, Llandaff, was summoned for keeping his licensed premises open on Sunday, the 3rd of May. P.O. Edward Williams gave evidence stating that he saw three men enter the house, and on gaining admittance he found one of the men in the kitchen and another in the pas- sage drinking beer. The third bad a bottle of beer in his hand at the door.—Mr J. H. Jones, who appeared for the defence, oalled the men who were found upon the premises, and they stated that they were engaged by Mr Davies to clean the bouse. The Bauch, however, con- sidered the case proved, and fined defendatt 40s and costs or 14 days' imprisonment in default. Mr Dornford (the chairman), in imposing the penalty, said the Railway Inn was one that had given the police a great deal of trouble, and Mr Davies would have to take particular care of his licenoe or it would atl the next application for renewal be refused him. Mr Jones, who said he appeared for the owners, asked the Bench for an explanation of the caution. He thought that if the house was properly conducted from now on to the licensing day there would be no difficulty in renewal.—The Chairman That is so. John Johns, one of the men found on the premises, admitted the charge of being found on the premises without a lawful excuse. Fined 5s and casts. William Anthony admitted a similar offence. Fined 58 and costs. The charge against James Steel, the third man, was dismisaed.

I Mr Chamberlain is well known to be one ot I the heaviest smokers on the Ministerial bench. He has the curious faculty of being able to keep his cigar alight throughout a long after-dinned speech. I FALSE GODS IN THE KITCHEN. I Mrs Norman has an interesting article in the Daily Chronicle on English cooking &3 it is, and as it should be. The cause of the bad cooking ill this country she attributes to false gods in the kitchen. If you put the wrong things into the kitchen (she writes) it must not surprise you to get the wrong things out of the kitchen and an English kitchen—yours, mine, everybody's—is crowded with false gods. To name these deitries, the kitchen range is the biggest; the blaoklead box and brushes is another that nasty saucer with the wet grey mess and sodden rAg in it (whitening or pipe-clay) is a third. The batb- brick and rotten-stone and emery-paper for my steels, m'm," is another so is the stuff for" my tins," and the cookery-book, full of recipes, ia another. ? A KING'S JIIWBM I King Prempeh's jewels, which recently formed the subject of a would-be jocular question from an Irish member to the Colonial Secretary, as to whether the money taken for their exhibition. would be devoted to the reduction of the National Debt,am to furnish material for a query of a more practical kind. Sir John Kennaway will ask Mt Chamberlain whether it is a fact that the gold plate and other articles taken at Kumasie, said to be worth B2,000, have been plaoed in the hands of a London jeweller for sale, and whethtt they could be retained for the country. BMOKR-CUBED. 1 That tobacco smoke is a great preventive 01 contagion," writes a correspondent, is, I believe, an established fact. In any case, I know at least two medical men who, after attending fever cases, invariably go home, change their clothes, and indulge, the one in a pipe, and the ether in a strong cigar. But I confess that I did not know that the knowledge extended to ladies, I was in a smoking carriage the other morning on the North Loudon line, when a buxom dame entered the compartment at Willesden Junction. I made bold to teU her that it was reserved for fumatory purposes. That's why I want to come in,' she replied. I have just taken my daughter to the hospital, and 1 wish to get rid of the in. fection.' I was too polite to change carriages, but the one other male traveller and myself began puffing so vigorously that the fair intruder re- treated directly we got to Acton. Perhaps.she felt smoke cured." CLEVER CHILDREN. I A teacher who was hearing a class in an infant Sunday school made her scholars finish each sentence to show that they understood her. "The idol bad eyen" she said, "butit couldn't See," cried the children. It had ears, but it couldn't Hear," was the answer. It had a nose, but it couldn't Wipe it," shouted the children. MRS CLEVELAND. I The wife of President Cleveland, who tvas once very pretty, is said to have changed strangely. She has come to resemble her husband. Both faces wear precisely the same expression they look like twins. Mrs Cleveland, like her husband, has been gaining flesh, and as she has a large frame she is an imposing figure. She makes a point of taking a five miles walk every day in rain 1 or in sunshine, -0- SA V AGBS AND THE HBNO. I The menu at the Savage Club dinner wis an entertainment in itself. It was about eighteen inches square, and bore a capital porbrait of the chairman, with a series of sketches setting forth a comic history of his life, from 1859. when he appeared as a much be-sashed child, with a small cannon for a toy, to the present day, when he was represented as superintending the discharge of a huge champagne bottle, blowing the members of the Savage Club into the air.

The 14th of May will be the 100th anniversary of Jenner's first vaccination, performed upon James Phipps, then eight years old, who, in the course of the net 20 years, was 20 times inoonlated with smallpox without result. In honour of the occasion Mr Malcolm Morris, editor of the Practitioner, has issued for May a special vaccination number of his journal, containing articles on the subject from many different points of view, and setting forth in simple language and with greab completeness what raay be called the medical case in favour of vaccination. Among the authors who have contributed are Dr. Monckton Copeman, Dr. Buist, Dr. Colcott Fox, Dr. Sea ton, and Dr. Edwardes and the number taken as a whole affords a convenient summary of facts which it is the custom of anti-vaccina. tionists to ignore, but which are essential to the formation of sound conclusions about the value, the efficacy, and the barmlessness of the Proceect. ing.
