CURING THE TooTHAcHE.-A dentist of
high reputation, living on the Boulevard at
Paris, was lately astonished by somewhat
novel and curious incident. Every day at
precisely the same hour his door-bell was
rung with furious violence This of itself
was not particularly astonishing to one ac-
customed to receive visitors whose pains
might readily forget the courtesies due to
bell-pulls, and whose movements were natu-
rally convulsive. But on running to the
door in answer to the imperative summons,
the domestic every day found no visitor, but
instead, upon the mat, five franc piece,
placed there by unknown hands. This
mysterious charity continued several days
in succession, and was finally discovered by
the artifce of waiting behind the door for
the mysterious ringer. This was found to
be no other than an unhappy subject who
came every day to have tooth drawn, from
the pain of which he suffered terribly. But
on arriving at the dentists door he found.
as all the world has often before found. that
his aching tooth suddenly ceased to annoy
him, an effect which he attributed to the
sudden approach of the operator, whom
; with fastidious honesty he thus repaid.
The dentist, who, by the way was equally
honest, had the greatest difficulty in per-
suading his eccentric patron to accept the
restitution of the money, which he thought
but feeble remuneration for such effica-
cious consultation.
