in singular way. A burgomaster named
Klym was gored in the left side bya bull,
and the doctor who was summoned to at
tend the injured man wore gold ring,
which slipped off his finger during the oper-
alton and remained in the wound. The loss
was not noticed until after the wound had
been dressed, and it was not thought proper
to put the unfortunate in greater danger by
endeavoring to recover the ring The bur-
master died and the surgeon has been ar
rested, on the charge that death had been
caused not by the wounds, but by inAamma-
tion produced by the ring.

friend "he saw a wasp riding on green
worm, one and half inches long. How
far he had ridden he did not know, but after
they saw him, they watched him until he
had ridden all af twenty feet. Occasionally
the worm would stop, lie motionless as
though be was dead, when the wasp, after a
little, would spur him up, and then the
worm would 60 on. The wasp would keep
the worm in as direct course as he could.
After while the worm stopped, and the
wasp dismounted and quickly ran and remov-
ed little stone or piece of ground about
two inches from where he lay, and then
seizing the worm by the head drew it into
the hole. Presently the wasp came out, put
Oh the gravel top over the hole, covered the
stone over, and seemed to be getting ready
to flv, when they killed him and then dug
down about two inches and dug out the
worm, which was dead
