PATIENT PATIENCE PLAYER. Tn tho Supreme Court of Now York Justice Lydou granted a sepai ation and a. liberal alimony to Mrs Florence ITelgeson, wife of a leading phvsiciau, who complained that her husband was inordinately addicted to playing Pati once. Petitioner testified that the cruelty of her husband consisted in the fact that be “ would regularly come j home at night, take dinner, and then, j to- my disgust, begin Patience. He | would rack my nerves for hours every night, by playing this game, which, as it required no concentration of mind, permitted his thoughts to dwell with a young woman in his office with whom h© fell in love two years ago.”

In view of the need of the continued service of Dr Pemberton, the Hospital j Board, at its meeting to-day, decided i to place him formally on the staff of * the tuberculosis institntnms.
