A STORT OF THE DAY, Failure of an -Attempt to Establish Nightingales The nightingale arrives in England about the 15th of April, and for the remainder of the month its song is heard on every side. Later it,000apiee itself with neat- bniloing, rearing its young, and domestic affairs generally, and its tuneful voice is hushed. The migration of"ihe nightingale to and in England seems to be conducted in a dye north and south /ireotion. It, never gets farther north than Carlisle, just south of the Scottish border. Sir John Sinclair, aoting.on_ ,the -general rule that migratory song birds almost always rl�lllrn to their native haunts, endeavored s establish the nightingale in" Scotland. e experiment was conducted on a large scale, and the result was considered as decisive. Sir John commissioned a Lon don dealer to buy as many nightingale eggs as he oonld get at the price of 1 shil. eig'-ea ifese 'were carefully ' packed in wool and sent to Scotland by mail. A number of trustworthy men had pre- viously been engaged to find and take' especial care of as • many robin redbreast's nests se possible, in places where the eggs could be hatched in perfect safety. As regularly as the parcels of eggs arrived from London the robins' eggs .were re- moved from the nests and replaced 'by those of the nightingale. In due course of time they were hatched. The young aightingalee, when full fledged, flew about, and were observed for some time after- ward quite at home near the plebe where they first saw the light. In September, the usual period ot. migration, they departed, butiriey never returned. The experiment was a failure The Milk Trade. In a recent address delivered by Mr. S. W. North, medical officer of health to the city of York, to the National Association o! Sanitary Inspectors, the subject chosen was the "Milk Trade as/Affecting Public Health." The various diseases whioh have been oommunicated to man through the agenoy of milk were considered ; but special stress was laid upon the question of the production hof human tubercle as the result of the ingestion of the milk of tnberonlons cows. It was contended that the same •defective hygienic conditions whioh favor the development of this disease in man also favor . its production in animals. Thus, deficient light and a}}'r, dampness .of sheds, overorowding, imperfect ventilation, bad and insufficient food, and filthy surround- inga were set forth as the conditions ten l- ing to lower health, to impair nutrition, and to increase susceptibility to tuberculosis both in man and in the cow; and all dairy farmers, as well au those responsible for the administration of dairies, would do well to give heed to the warning whioh these. facts oonvey. Among the remedies which' Mr. North would suggest are a careful and systematic inopeotion o ;dairies and cattle ° by competent persons, and the require- ments that all who sell milk within the area of a sanitary authority should possess a apeoiallicense granted by that authority, and capable of being withdrawn or ens. pened whenever eumoient reason exists for oh action. It was further proposed the • eery producer and vendor of milk should be bound to `report ,to such sanitary authority the ocourernoe of any diseaee amongst the cattle, or the persons of.bis honeehold, or amongst those epgaged in the preparation or distribution of the milk. Saab an address cannot fail to lead to a more careful and intelligent performance of some of the more important duties devolv- ing on sanitary inepeotore Lancet." Behind Time.

The Bodice is the Thing. In the present' fashions the bodice be comes the distinctive point for ornament. The New York Tribune says : In all gowns the high and rather full sleeve isintro- duced, and is generally in contrasting material to the rest of the bodice, though in simple gowns of cheviot it venally matches the skirt. In combination dresses of cashmere and silk the bodice is usually of- Bilk and the sleeve of, cashmere and silk: There is a tendenoy, as there has been for some - time; to fit a bodice of some striped goode to the figure plainly and drape it across one side diagonally with plain wool or silk. The outlines of the figure are thrown in strong relief by the drapery, and it appears slighter. The large sleeves are heightened by a tiny pad when they are made of soft materials. whioh could not be held in plane with. out support. Velvet is used on cheviot gowne for cuffs and collars, and on (bellies and other honse•gowne trimmed with velvets ribbons. ' Too Many Sisters.
