BITE OFF MY EARS.

At social party, wag found himself in the
course of the evening in conversation with ner-
vous looking stranger. Pointing out to HIM
gentleman Of inquiring turn OF mind In another
portion of the room, he said
'sDo you see that man there? He has mania
"a very unpleasant one too. He Is possessed
with the idea that he must bite off strangers ears
and it has caused dreadful amount Of trouble
I do not know whether he will show any symptoms
tonight, but perceiving that you are stranger !
deem it my duty to put you on your guard. Don
let him approach very near you.

ribly intense grew the horror Of the other The
curious man was within an ace of the roaring
when the agony of the 'roarer reached its crisis,
and clenching his fist he landed it between the
lookers" of the misfortune searcher after physical
wonders, shouting at the top Of his voice:

The effect of this on the astonished audience was
very affecting,
