DURING the Atlanta campaign Col
Tom Reynolds, now of Madison, Wis,
was shot through the leg, which valuable
member he saved by his wit. Gen. Sher-
man tells us, in his Memoirs, that, when
the surgeons were debating the propri-
ETY. of amputating the leg in the Colonel's
he (the Colonel begged them to
spare 1t, as it was very valuable, being
an imported leg" He was of Irish
birth, and this weH-timed piece of wit
saved his leg, for the surgeons thought

save his limb.
A TRAVELLER writes of San Francisco:
"The first thing the stranger is informed
of on his arrival here is that this is the
worlds center Here everything begins
and ends. No other city can compare
with it even in one respect. l have been
shown around by '49-er,' who first
took me to the top of Telegraph HilP
and showed me the finest harbor in the
world Then down to the wharf, and,
pointing to the City of Picking, informed
me that it was the largest vessel in the
world Then up to the Palace Hotel,
and with much pride gave me to under
stand that it was the largest hotel in the
wcrld.' And on Montgomery street he
showed me the largest safe in the
world" r.e,

repair, and encroaching habitually upon
the hours of waking action, impairs
more or less the functions of the brain,
and with them all the vital powers. This
observation is as old as the days of Hip.
pocrates and Aret@us, who severally and
strongly comment upon it, The sleep OF
infancy, however, and that of the old
age do not come under this category OF
excess. These are natural conditions,
appcrtaining to the respective periods OF
life, and to be dealt with as such. In
illness, moreover, all ordinary rule and
measure of sleep must be put aside. Dis
tinguishing it from coma there are very
few cases in which it is not an uuequivo-

the brain, we believe, gains more from
repose than from any artificial attempts
to rouse it into action.-Edinbur9h Re

"A series of experiments on innocu-
lation with bee poison, made by Mr.. q
Walker, is described in the department
of Mature and Science" of Scrtbner's
Monthly. The method of procedure was
TO permit bee to sting him on the wrist,
care being taken to obtain the largest
amount of poison. On the first day this
operation was performed twice. The
effect was severe superficial erysipelas,
with the ordinary symptoms Of iHflam-
nation. After few days these symp-
toms having disappeared, he caused the
insect to sting him three times in quick
succession. Though the crysipelatous
Inflammation was not SO severe, sting

poison had been absorbed into the sys.

ceived three stings, which were attended
by symptoms of less intensity. After
the twentieth sting there was only slight
itching sensation for q short time in the
immediate vicinity of the wound, and the
effects OF the innoculation appeared to be
