and sneers, and these they have

wilderness they feel that death Is be-

that for a race despised in the land in
which they are sojourning, they eS-
hibit remarkable enterprise and perse-

Immediately took active measures to
remedy the difficulty. Promptly
thrusting a speculum down the cats
outlet, he discovered the aforesaid bone
firmly fixed through and across the
throttle-yalve, and in severe juXtapo-
sition with the uvula. He grasped
It with a long pair Of curling-tongs, by
way of forceps, and at the same mo-
ment the cat giving a spasmodic dig
with all four sets Of claws, out came
the fish-bone, and away went Pussy
with nitro-glycerine flashing from her
ewes and her tail as big Us n ~stovepipe.
The operation was q success, and the
cat hasn't been seen since.
