The FLESH SHOWER. Ky.
March 11.-In regard to the shower of
flesh il Bath County, Prof. J. Lawrence
Smith, the scientist, says, in his analy-
sis of the specimens examined: ''In my
mind this matter gives every indication
of being the dried spawn Of Batrachian
reptiles doubtless that cf the frog.
They have been transported from the
ponds and swampy grounds by currents
of wind, and have ultimately fallen on
the spot where they were found. This
is nc isolated occurrence of the kind, /
having come across the mention of sew
eral III the course of my reading. The
only case I can now fix the date Of IS re-
corded by Muschabroeck as occurring in
Iceland in 1886. The matter IS describ-
ed by him as being glutiI ous sand fatty,
which softened when held in the hand,
and emitted an unpleasant smell when
exposed to the action of fire. The ovum
or egg. of the Batrachian reptiles is a
round mas of transparent, nutritlve
Jelly. IN the center Of which appears p
small black glooule. Ii the present case
the passage through the air would have
dried up more or less these geiatinons
masses, but the interior, as he found it.,

more OF that matter to be sent to NE,

these views, will make them known

The VEST FocKETs,-A young man
from one Of the suburban districts was
in one of our tailor shops getting meas
ured for a vest, the other afternoon.
''Married or unmarried?" quoth the
merchant after taking down the num-
ber
"Unmarried," said the young man:
with blush.
''Inside pockets Oh the left hand side,
then," observed the tailor, as if to him
self, making a memorandum to that eft
feet.
After a moments pause, the young
man from the suburbs inquired:
'sWhat difference does my being mar
ried OF unmarried make with the inside
pocket of my vestl''
''Ah, my dear sir," observed the tail
or, with bland smile,4 ''all the differ
ence possible, as you must see. Being
unmarried, you want the pocket on the
left side, so as to bring the young lady
picture next to your heart.
ssBut don't the married man also want
his wife's picture next to his heara

kind" said the tailor, arching his eye

AN OLD MAN WHO Vows TO KILL A
BoY.-He was an old man-no older
than some other old man, but old enough
to be bent and feel cross and touchy
He was going up Cass Avenue Saturday
when a vigorous boy hit him on the
left ear with a snow-b ball. The OLD man
diden'5 wait to dig the snow out, the lad
was lame, and seeing that he was likely
to be caught he crawled under a barn
on Gilman street. The old man could
see him under there, but couldn't reach
him. and So he softly said:
"Come, my good boy, and help me
find the lad who hit me. I guess he is
hiding around the corner I"
cam a greenhorn?' contemptuously
replied the boy.
"Come out for candy" continued the
oilt man.
''I'm here for all night" was the an
swer.
Then the good man changed his tao
tics and said:
'sComa out here or I'll send torpedo
in after you
"Pass in your nitro-glycerine, was
the unmoved reply.
"I'll shoot you" shouted the oldm
feeling in his pocket as if to draw re-
volver.,
''Let me have it right here - said the
boy, holding up his elbow.
Then the old man champed his teeth
together, kicking the soft snow higher
than his head and walked off, vowing =
