Visitors must be more than twenty one years old. They must not be ad mitted if in a weak state of health or in sin exhausted condition. They should ha ve eaten si good meal shortly before entering. They are required to avoid torching the patient or ex posing themselves to the eniiiniitions from his skin. On no account mint they sit on the bed. but may occupy a chair at some lit'.Ie distance from the patient. They are required to wesir wraps provided by the hospital snithoritic--covering their garments while in the wards, and before leaving the hospital must wash their hands and faces with carbolic soap and water, or use such other means of disinfec tion as may be prescribed by the medical superintendent. They pre strongly urged not to enter any omni bus, streetcar or other public con veyance immediately after leaving the hospital. Visitors are excluded from the smalliKix wards. It is a satisfaction to ho assured that with these precautions no harm has ever been known to result from visits to patients. The regulations of the hospital lay great stress upon the thorough venti lation of the outside clothing of vis iters, and upon scrupulous personal cleanliness on their part. London Letter.

Tho services, which i ere held in the family resi lience, were fairly under way when the young man arrived, and much to his embarrassment the butler in sisted upon leading him to a seat very close to the coliin. After tin service the menial accosted the Stranger as be was leavingthe house. "Beg pardon for putting you where I did. but I bad to." I e said. "How was that,'" asked the young man.
