Notes and Events.
This is how the elderly editor of 2'ntth refers Jo a drawing-room function :— I respectfully congratulate her Majesty upon her decision to leave it henceforward to the younger menibers of the royal family to watch the crowd of ladies, arrayed in plumeft, like hearse horses, and trains like Cape sheep, with naked shoulders and bosoms, marching along in single file, and dropping enrtseys as they go. This absurd function exists alone in England, and why it should continue to exist I do not know Anyhow, if her subjects insist upon * this solemn march past, there is not any valid reason why the Queen, afc her advanced age, should take part in it.
A London coroner said at an inquest he was holding that beheld from 200 to 800 inquests annually on children found dead in bed with their parents, but the frequent cause was due to mothers falling to sleep whilst the child was at the breast. Id London there were from 900 to 1,000 children found suffocated in bed. If parents could only be got to believe it, their infants would be miioh better in a cot and not run the many risks of being suffocated, whilst the parents themselves would find it much better.
