THE HONGKONG TELEGRAPH, FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 23, 1883.
FOOCHOW.
The prevalence of smallpox in Shanghai and other ports has incited us to make inquiries regarding the remedies of the natives in such cases. So far as Foochow-in fact the whole of the Fokien province-is concerned, we are pleased to find that inoculation by vaccination, has superseded both the customary methods of infusion through the nostrils of a prepared dust, or the use of a violent Chinese medicine; cach of which supposed remedies tended to otherwise impair the constitution. When even the Chinese see the efficacy of vaccination, and generally adopt this method as a preventive of disease, it appears passing strange that in more civilised countries, there are still to be found many, so blinded by prejudice as to allow their offspring to auffer from this dire complaint, and so on- courage an epidethic rage:
Pictures of all kinds should be kept free from dust at the back, for where this accumulates in- jury is sure to result. To effect this, two picces of cork at the bottom edge of the frame will keep the frame from the wall, rélieve the pres sure and allow the dust to a great degree to fal down and be cleared away. Gold fraines should never be dusted with anything but a feather brush; and when they become dirty, servants or inexperienced persons should not be allowed to attempt to clean them, as they will be sure to spoil them. In cleaning the glass of water-color paintings and engravings, the greatest care should be used to avoid rubbing the sponge or leather, or they will soon be spoiled,-Ar Amateur.

The newly nominated Archbishop of Canter bury, Dr. Edward' White Benson, has been a notable man ever since he went up to Cam bridge in 1848, where he graduated as Senior Chancellor's medalist in the year 1852. He was a scholar and Fellow of Trinity College, and, after taking his degree, at once accepted, on the invitation of Dr. Goulburn, the post of A- sistant Master of Rugby School. The six years passed at Rugby were years of preparation for his future work. His position as Instructor of the sixth form gave him the opportunity of at tracting to himself a large circle of pupils, and when he was elected in 1859 to be Head Master of Wellington College and to build up a great
