MISCELLANY.
short Scientific Lecture

NV hearers You have invited me to deli
yer a course Of scientific lectures before
YOU. and comply. The first subject to which
i invite your attention is the elbow" You
have had lectures on the hand, the foot, the
features of the face etc, but the elbow al
though it plays very important part in phys-
cal economy, has been overlooked, If not al
together elbowed out by all scientific lectur-
ers before me. Elbow is taken from the Sax
on, except in cases of amputation, when IL is
taken directly from the arm.
As the foot plays very important part in
all the various walks Of life, to say nothing of
the hop, skip and jump, SO the elbow is inti-
mately connected with very manv of the
shifting scenes of human existence. The lover
presents his elbow with all tenderness to the
blushing maiden by his side, as they take an
afiectionate stroll together and as it touches
the neiShborhood of her beating heart, her
hand futtering on his arm, meanwhile, ike a
frightened bird, what thrill from that elbow
along the nerve of his arm, and thence DEUS,
es itself through his entranced corporality |.
The elbow plays an entirely differant part
when strong man elbows his way through
crowd. Hearts don't flutter, but ribs ache
consumedly.
It is on bis elbow that the lover rests when
he reclines
Meath yonder nodding beach
That rears its old fantastic root SO high
And muses. upon his mistress, and it is upon
the elbow, too that the dying man often sup
ports himself to look for the last time upon
the setting sun.
1t is fine thing to be able to crook the ell
bow. A stiff elbow would render that old
fashioned social custom, shaking hands, very
awkward proceeding, and make it impossible
for lover to adjust coat sleeve around the
waist Of his mistress with anything like grace
or satisfaction.
While there are great manifest inconyeni-
ences attending an inability to crook the ell
bow, thousands have gone to premature
graves on account of crooking that useful
appendage too often, so 1t would have been
better TO have born with stiff elbows and
never recovered from the disorder
Whether the operation is performed ele-
gantly and gracefully by young men at a fash
ionable bar, or by trembling, blear-eyed old
sots at Buckport doggery, it is equally ruin
Gus in IS tendencies, and results frequently
in Transforming the elbow-crooker into stu
dent Of Natural History, with colonies OF
snakes and other reptiles in his brogans. Ny
hearers If you crook your elbow before the
bar-keeper, do it with your thumb on your
nose, accompanied by digital gyration in tok-
