Remarkable Adventures of Il Fish.
HOOK.

SOME eight years ago a lad Of thirteen Ia
son of Charles L. Myers, well known
citizen Of Portsmouth, while fishing
from one of the wharvcs of that city,
caught fish hook in the fore-finger OF
the right hand, near the roots of the
nail, drawing il in to the bend Of the
hook. His father saw al once that the
only thing to be done was To 'open the
finger on line with the hook and take
II oGt, but preferred TO call in their fam
lly physician 10 DO H. After looking at
II for moment, the doctor, by q sudden
twist, WrcnChcd the hook from the finger
minus the barb and point The parents
were Justly indignant Al such rough
treatment and insisted that the hook was
not all removed. while the boy came near
taintinE from extreme anguish. The
doctor, however, insisted that no inCun-
venlence would result, and dressed the
finger IN some simple and safe manner
and N due time the wound healed But
the finger and arm troubled him for 4
long time. After year OF two the lads
health had 50 far failed as 10 become q

fairs continued for years, with more in
iensity, until a year or two ago, when the
boys health became nearly or quite re-
stored. In the spring of 1874 the young
msn, while dressing himself one morn
ing, tore q pimple from his left shoulder
and, on examining i, he drew from the
flesh the point Of the hook which, seven
years before, was imbedded in a finger

Building Brick Chimney-TOps.

As CHIMNEY-TOPS are exposed to the

The brick of every chimney-top should
be 50 thoroughly burned that they will

they cease to absorb it. When dry brick
