In all churches after feast days the floors aa*o to-be cleansed with a sublimate solution 1-1000. At least once a week pews and confessional benches must be wiped with a j damp oloth and thg grating . of - the confessionals washed with lye. ''.' ' j A very curious medical invention has been patented in Paris. It ia likely to be of great use. It is a small apparatus which, placed under the arm of a patient suffering . from, fever, brings a small bell directly the temperature reaches a dangerous height, tbus summoning the doctor or jnirse. The invention is simple and ingenious,^ and in cases of intermittent fever should prove, a great boon. . . * For some reason, which has never been, explained, some persons, when they enter a room, inever think of closing the door af-' ter them, but now a door has been, indented whioh opens and closes of its own ac? cord. An automatic arrangement enables th e door to open as soon as anyone approaches it, and, in like manner, it closes as soon as anyone has entered or left the room. It acts noiselessly and perfectly, though no hand touches it. The imechanism which puts the 4oor in. motion is highly ingenious, &A<l begins to work as soon as a person's feet arrive within a certain distance of the door. (
