Influenza Personified.— At a fancy dress ball at 8t Petersburg attended by the nobility, the palm was awarded to a young lady attired to represent the influenza. She was dressed in an oriental fashion and wore on her head a tall cap with the names of the various doctors who have studied the disease. The map of Europe was depicted on her skirt, and she carried a large fan upon which the names of the chemists who welcomed the ai rival of the scourge were inscribed. During the evening, she distributed leaflets explaining symptoms, fever, pains in the head, etc.
