A 'tablet of gold was sent to the bride, upon
which was engraved. the (idiot elevating her
to the throne.
The bride is here known as the pheenix
and the Emperor is known as t'he dragon,
and the etnion is that of the pheenix and. the
dragon. A grand procession escorted the
bride to the palece. A Manchu Prince was
at its head. and thirty white home followed
behind. The dowager Empress received
the bride, Site stepped from her eedan
°hair on to a golden middle and from that
into her home. It will be the tame with
the marriage of this Emperor, and the Ease
press will role the ladies of the imperial
household.
The number of females in the royal harem
is not accurately known. The Emperor has
the right% to oven legal concubines andsto an
unlimited number of illegal ones. Every
third year after March next he will review
the datighters of the high rank Manchu offi-
cers over twelve years of age, and will choose
etch as he pleases for hie palace. Such of
his aecondary -wives as bear children to bite
will continue to remain in the palace. The
others may be restored to liberty when they
reach the age of twenty-iive years. Manchn
girls consider it a great favor to be taken
into the palace, and. -their families regard it
an honer. They have no trouble in finding
husbands if they are permitted to come out
again, but while in the palace they associate
with none but the King and his eunuchs.

were celled to court. Their medicines
availed nothing, and they visited Dr. Dad-

Peking, and asked him for some medicine

the Empress wanted his services she could
call him in, but the.the did not intend to
risk advice and medicine at second hand.
The result was that the Eastern Empress
died and the present Empress Dowager rul-

Small as they are, bacteria are by no mantel
insignificant. Like aphides and other small
insect pests, they possess the power of
multiplying with great rapidity: 'but they

this repect. Cohn lute calculated that a
species undergoing fission once an hour, -
which is not too high an estimate for some
speoles,-under favorable circumstances
might count 'nearly seventeen million offt

while in about a week the number could be
represented only by the use of fifty.one

progeny of a skate cell if all survived and
were equally prolific, would occupy nine

miles, the volume of the ocean. Of course
their reproduction is checked greatly by
unfavorable aonditions and by thetrenemies;
but what wonder if the germs of putrefac-
tion and disease are well-nigh omnipres-
ent!
Though bacteria are exceedingly minute
and simple beings, we have seen that their
power of multiplication, if unchecked, is
incomprehensibly great. Their influence on
higher organisms is also entirely dispropor-
tionate to their size. Containing no assi-

. Diving into Derivation..
Detroib Free Press :.There are few people
that have not looked into the dictionary
especiallywho know how the term "spinster"
originated. We often find it in Shakespeare
and other of the Eneliah eta/nice, heti') is
used -to define the spinner, This is its sped -
fie meaning. Its general significance is
wider. There was an old practice, in the
years agone, their a woman ahonld
never be married until she hade open
herself a set of body, table and bed
linen. It is not difficult to see how easily
the term became applicable to all un-
married women. and finalier became a law
term and fixed. It is not the fashion among
lawyers nowadays to specify the maiden by
the word "spinster," "Single women" is
the phrase employed in its place, and per-
haps, with more satisfaction, beeause there
is something about the spinster which is
objectionable. It is aseociated with acerb-
ity, wrinkles, moroseneas and general dia-
agreeableneas. The term " spinater " is de-
cidedly objeoeionable to an unmarried wee
man. It occupies a close position to "old
maid," which is certainly and always% rel-
ented with acorn and oftentimes indig-
&trio's.
The Herald is now poblithed eireultan-
eouely in New York, London, and Paris, the
three greatest cities of the wprld-an
achievement unprecedented in the history of
journalism. The "Pall Mall Gazette"
takes strong ground against the introduction
of the Sunday morning newspaper into Lon-
don. Ib does so, nob on Sabbatarian grounds,
for the work on a Sunday paper is done on
Saturday, but because it thinks man should
be obliged to labour only six, days in the
Week. It fearelthet the " Herald's " action
will force the great London dailies to adopt
a similar course. In England the Sunday
newspaper has bitherto been practically
unknown, whereas in the United States it is
made a special feature, the Sunday issues of
many of the great dailies being not unlike
magazines in the extent of their contente
and the quality of some of them.
It appears to be true that human roguery
cannot concoct a sthente of mo.neyemaking
too unblushingly and even glaringly fraud-
ulent, but some fools will be found greedy
enough 4 stupid enough, or both greedy
and stupid, to make geese of themselves for
the sly foxes to pluck at their leisure. A
conspicuous ease of the kind came to light
in New York City the other day. Some
speoulator with more shrewdness than
honesty sent out plausibly worded circulars
inviting people to join a Mutual Benefit
Society. the benefits in which were -securable
by joining a class of 100 persone, paying an
initiation fee stf two dollars, and ten dollars
monthly thereafter, the net monthly result
therefrom being of course $1000, which, the
circular went on to say would be loaned to
one member Of the claps at 6 per cent. in-
terest, the borrower agreeiog to pay the
ible00 and interest back in monthly instal-
ments of $10. This seherne ie said to have

The Pennsylvania Legislature has under
conaideration a bill entided "An, act to
costal:118h a State Board of Medical Bemire

and duties thereof." Its object is to guard
the community against quackery and ignor-
ance in the medical profession. It is de-
voutly to be hoped that it will be stringent,
and that it will be passed. Medical ethics,
as they are called, are at a low enough ebb
and in a muddy enough oondition in some
of the States across the border.
