THE case of the "baby farmer" and "her anta gonist, the mothers and vendor of the one- month old infant, mentioned in last night's issue, were treated in a manner rather the reverse of what we expected this morning, at the Police Court. Mr. Robinson, who tried the case, dealt with the matter merely as one of "creating a disturbance," dismissed' the "farmer" with m caution, and bound the mother of the infant over in her own recognizances in the sum of $50 to be of gond hehavior for six months! Now what became of the infant?

VACCINATION is compulsory in England and optional in France. In the large cities of France the number of deaths from small-pox was 1,965, or 31 per 1,000 of the living population. In the large cities of England during the same period the number of deaths was 332, or 04 per 1.000. Does not this, asks the Hospital, sny something for vaccination ?'

He then addressed those present as follows-I think that the report which" you have just heard read is in every way most satisfactory, and I am sure it will give great pleasure to the friends of this in every-way deserving institution In this Colony to see such very successful results at the recent examination, more particularly when you come to take into account that two of the masters have been incapacitated by fllness' during the past term, and therefore the great bulk of the work and responsibility of the management has fallen on "the shoulders of Mr. and Mrs.
Piercy. This institution, like many others that are dependent to a certain extent on charly, is in want of money for a purpote which I have been asked by the Committee to give you some particulars of. I hope that some practical efforts will be made to increase this building the object for which funds are required. The facts presented to the Committee are as follows 1-
"The applications for the admission of boarders last summer being more than we could receive. the Committee in October rented a neighbouring house No. 5 Bonham Road. Seven boys sleep

there under the care of a Master, but are bere all day for instruction and meals. The division of the establishment is both very inconvenient and costly, although our tandford, Mr Be lilies, has acted generously as regards re pairs, alterations, and water-supply for such a temporary tendancy. An architect has kindly draws plans for the much-needed large school rooms and additional dormitories, at an estim. ated cost of $8000 Although the Government would, under the Grant-in-Aid Scheme, probably provided half of this, the Committee are an able to begin building for want of the other $4000. This school charitable institution in January 1970, and while receiving boys and girls whose parents can and do 'pay the full fees, the charitable principle has ever been kept in view, and I may 1y that for many years no real case of need has been refused admission, although great care has to be ex raised to ascertain that each case is one of genuine necessity, When friends can pay a part of the cost. they are expected to di so; when the child is utterly destitute he is received free. While the sum received in sub. charitable work has trebled in ten years, the scriptions has remained about the same, the deficiency being borne by the fees. It is most desirable that the Institution should be placed on a self-supporting basis, but to do this wir hour diminishing the charitable work, it will be necessary to have a larger building, thereby saving the rent (350 a month) of the other house, and providing additional schoolrooms, dining room, lavatories &c, which have long bren most urgently needed' We have land and the achats, and only need the funds wherewith to' build,"
The year has been a very successful and prosperous one. With the exception of some cases of fever, the health of the Institution has been good; bath the second and third masters, however, have been so I that, they had to enter the Civil Hospital, and the intter has since left the Colony. The school-roll, increase of 18. The fees collected amounted to including ro girls, numbered 143, being an $7,651,8%, an advance of nearly 31 per cent. The sum for school materials sold has more than doubled, being $116.18. The werage attendance on th from days in which school was taught has risen from 68.83 to 88.64. Sixty-three scholars had the minimum Government requirement (200 days); one was away in the country on the Inspector's visit; one is of deficient intellect ; six had passed the highest standard one, two three or four years previously, and so, being Ineligible for Grant-in-Aid purposes, prepare for University Local Examinations, The remain. ing 55 (last vear 50) were examined by H. M's Inspector of Schools :57 passed, or qu§ per cent. (last year go per cent). Three Chinese boys failed, but in only one subject each, viz, first standard, a failed in Dictation, mistaking "coil for "coln," and other similar words, and fifth standard, one failed in English Composition; in these standards, and in the sixth, for some inscrutable reason no failure is allowed. In Reading, Writing, Arithmetic, Graminar, Geo- graphy, and English History 100 per cent, passed, in Dictation 91.5, in Composition 91, In each of these Special Subjects 22 boys were examined, Physical Geography 81.8 per cent, passed. Animal Physiology 909. Euclid 95, Algebra 86, Dr. Eltel adds the school has once more specially distinguished itself by uniformly good papers in Standards V and VI in Physical Geography and especially in Physiology." This is due to the careful teaching. of the second Master (Mr. Machell), The Thṛ Deulicht Hearesssitung gives this table of Government grant earned is $832 14, being costs of the European armies :—.
an increase of 30 per cent. Considering that in this school (ind even to a greater extent nue extended on in Victoria Collere) the great majority of the scholars aeltam use English at home, so that the difficulties of acquiring a foreign language, such as correct enunciation, idiom, and spelling, are encountered, and surmounted by nearly the whole school; that the Chinese method of learning by rote pages of their own books before thinking of trying to understand a line unfits them for learning English forelligentl; that many boys and girls are very young for their standants (twn in the fifth are only eleven) and that same school-hours are devoted to the study of Chinese books, I think we may take these results as satisfactory.

Tux Shanghai Mercury learn that there ha been, a serious populse outbreak in the Yuen-wn district, near Sanchow. It appears that the District Magistrate lately endeavoured to call from the country people, taxes which had been remitted by Imperial decree in consequence of the scanty harvest. The action of the Magistrate creatly incensed the people, who attacked his vamén, dragged him out, and administered to him a sound drubbing. They afterwards took him away to bold him for further vengeance, hat he was rescued from the infuriated people by his yamên-runners.
If ever you ute lemons," remarked one house wife to a lady friend, “and have a portion of one left over, be sure you do not throw it away." "I am never without them in the house, as I alwave use them for fouring. But of what use are the pieces ? "Just this. The next time you think you have done with a lemon Just dip in salt and and rub your copper kettle or stewpan with it. You will be surprised to find what a brilliant surface you will obtain if you rub the article instantly with a dry, soft cloth. You can polish all brass-work by the same means, every stain disappearing as if by magic. A mouldy lemon put into a dirty saucepan half full of water and boiled for half an hour cleanses the utensils amazingly, and removes any odour such as fish or onions. Try it and see if I am not right."

SIR Edward Walkin har, on behalf of the Metropolitan Railway Company, offered the manager of the Water Railway a piece of graped near London on which to lay down a line two miles in length, says the London Spectator:: Wonhall, therefore, soon have an opportunity to try what, if the accounts are true, must be the very poetry of motion. The carriages rụn on skates or slider, but between the slide and the tail is forced a film of water, which prevents all jol.C.Less ting, bumping and shaking, and, in fact, makes the carriages skim along as a boat does on the sea. Then, too, she pace is 100 miles an hour, If the new railway is really practicable for long distances, all England will be a suburb of Lon don, and Surrey will be saved from becoming a chessboard, covered with what the auctioneers call "villa residences standing in their own three acres and a half of park-like grounds.” A bundred miles an hour would make Bath as accessible as Brighton is now, while Manchester could be reached la an hour and fifty minutes. alec de it.
