A aenulns MIND prunk.

A Jolly medical studentin Berlin,
who had finished his studies and
was about to begin practice, invited
his friends to a banquet and got very
drunk with them. After the carou-
sal he stumbled home in uproarious
excitement, and when he reached
his lodging he threw up his window
and leaned out in order to breathe
the cold winter air. After a short
time he was struck with a violent
pricking and smarting in the eyes.
He closed tae window and went to
bed. When he awoke the next
morning he found the room in
darkness, and concluded that it
must still be night. He tried in
vain to fall asleep again. After
awhile his landlady knocked at the
door and asked if he was i'll, as he
was lying SO late in bed. "What
do you mean?" asked he. "Sir,p
exclaimed the woman, "it has been
clear daylight these two hours"

while trying to chill himself into
Soberness at the open window
This frightful discovery so wrought
upon the young doctor that he fell
into violent fever, which carried
him off in the following week.
