152 THE LATE MRS. ALICE BODINGTON, 



that the very latest work of her pen appears in the present part of 

 this Journal. Mrs. Bodington also frequently contributed vigorous 

 articles on various subjects to the Provincial and local press. 



Socially, Mrs. Bodington will be very greatly missed, while as 

 wife and mother her death is a sad bereavement, and Dr. Boding- 

 ton and his family have the kindliest sympathy of the community 

 in their irreparable loss. Of the many children of Dr. and Mrs. 

 Bodington, but two, Miss Winnie Bodington and a young son, are 

 at home. Of the others, all grown up, one son is at Plymouth, 

 another also being in England, one is a barrister in Paris, France, 

 another physician on one of the Empress liners, and two daughters. 

 Miss Bodington and Mrs. Hamilton, reside in Winnipeg. 



Mrs. Bodington was buried at St. Mary's Church, Sapperton, 

 on Feb. 17th. A large number of residents attended the funeral, 

 amongst them being as many of the Asylum attendants as could 

 be spared from their duties, six of whom acted as pall-bearers. 



The floral tributes were numerous and very beautiful, especially 

 one presented by the attendants of the asylum, by whom Mrs. 

 Bodington was most highly esteemed.

 tained by means of trial sections examined in glycerine, 

 or in the reaction fluid itself. Then one must provide for the 

 preservation of the piece and the microscopical sections. Although 

 it is certain that a longer sojourn in the silver solution does no 

 harm whatever, and that such a sojourn may serve as a means of 

 preservation, yet it is expedient, in order to have the pieces ready 

 for further treatment, to transfer them to pure commercial alcohol. 

 This not only serves to harden the tissue farther, but also to free 

 it from the silver nitrate which, as I shall mention below, is very
