WE heard of boy the other day who
accidentally swallowed a silver half dollar.
They gave him warm water and tartar
emetic, and antimonial wine, and poked
their fingers down his throat until the boy
thought he would throw up his toe-nails.
After while, a doctor came along who
understood such cases. He administered
small dose of patent medicine, and in
less than ten minutes the boy threw up
the half-dollar in five-cent pieces Science
is great thing.
The following notice has been published
in an exchange: "Died-After a short
illness, yesterday, my wife, leaving behind
her three infant children. In the hope
that her poor soul is with God I beg to
inform my customers that my store will
be as well furnished as formerly, having
confided my business to my principal
clerk, who is extremely intelligent and as
well versed in the business as the deceas-
ed herself. N. B.-FIesh corned beef
Just received"
ONE of the smallest newspapers on
record is a copy of LIE Soir, which was
sent out of Paris not long ago. 1t had
been compressed by means of photogra-
ply, into a sheet measuring only three
and half by two and half inches. New
ertheless, this Lilliputian journal con-
tanned the full contents of an ordinary
sized number, and could be read easily
with the aid of good microscope. 1t
was printed on one side only of the little
sheet, and headed with notice that it
must be read as transparency-that is,
against the pane of a window-and with
magnifying glass.
"A MEMBER of the bar" through one of
the New York papers, recommends that
the members Of the legal profession
throughout the United States send five
dollars each to Mr.. Charles O'Conor, to
be invested by him in Government bonds,
and the bonds sent to the daughters of
ChiefJustice Taney, as ga just tribute to
the memory of a great lawyer, whose judi
cial integrity was never questioned" The
ladies in question are endeavoring to sup
port themselves and their aged mother by
hard work, very poorly recompensed, as
copyists in Washington.
A CLEVELAND, Ohio, dentist has got
into trouble. A young lady went to him
to have a tooth extracted. The dentist
examined all herteeth, and attempted to
argue her into the belief that she should
have her front teeth extracted and an arti
fetal set inserted. She firmly defined.
Her front teeth had given her no trouble,
and she wished only to part with the one
which had been rebellious. So the den
tist administered gas. By-and-by the
lady was aroused to consciousness by
pain, and discovered that the operator had
already taken out three front teeth, and
apparently intended to proceed farther.
The dentist has been arrested for assault
and battery.
A LETTER from Conneaut, Ohio, says: :
THE rites of baptism were administered
to ten persons, Sunday, at the creek just
east of the village. The weather was bit
terly cold and the stream full of floating
ice. Among the number was one old lady,
upward of 70 years old, whose feebleness
of body, as well as her own judgment,
seemed to question the expediency of be-
ing immersed in the chilling water. As
she neared the brink she shrank from the
requirement, but was at length prevailed
upon to have the rite administered, which
was done without any serious conse-
quence."
