AN EXCHANGE says: "The worst
joke that was ever perpetrated on sci
entific men took place recently at Lou
isiana, Missouri. A man was sick
with rheumatism, or something, and a
fellow went around to the doctors and
professors, and told them it was the
queerest case on record. He said the
man had no feeling. You could stick
pins in his body all over, and he paid
no attention to them at all. He was
perfectly numb. So the doctors got
together and called on the sick man to
experiment All arrived with pins and
bodkips. The man was asleep and
they got around him and each one
stuck his pin in the patient. The sick
man rolled over and looked at the
crowd, and thought they had come to
dissect him, so he took chair in one
hand and bed post in the other, and
drove the crowd thence. They are
around with their heads tied up, looking
for the man who said that that sick
man had no feeling.
