HUMOROUS.

SIMPsoNBuRa is nor noted for his ao-
ttvity; quite the contrary. At the
club the other evening he got up energy
sufficient to PROFOUND u conundrum.
Said he, "Boys, why am I like tor
pedoP" After having recovered from
the shook produced by Simpsonburg's
unwonted activity, the guesses flowed
In quick succession. Jones thought it
was because q torpedo Is full of empty
noise but that was not right, Simpson,
burg said. Neither was Robinson's guess
that 1t was because torpedo doesn't
say anything when 1t speaks. Smith
tried to work out pun on torpedo,
torpid oh, but failed miserably. Every.
body began to look siok. Then Brown
tried. He said it was because a tor
pedo Is not good for anything till Its
neck is twisted. Simpsonburx shook
his head with something like anima-
ton. One Of the boys said it was be-
cause neither could climb tree, an
other that it was relief when either
went OF, and a third ventured the
guess, in an undertone, that it was q
blasted nuisance. Finally, Simpson
burg had to divulge; he could not con-
tain himself longer. He said it was
because'h he was full Of snap. The boys
yawned languidly; everyone Of them
acknowledged to Simpsonburg that he
should never have guessed It, which
pleased Simpsonburg nightly. .

a Remarkable Swan.

Visitors to Pine Grove cemetery at
Milford, Mass, arc much surprised to
SEQ swan standing on grave near q
child's rocking horse. The swan utters
a shrek ifany one attempts to approach
the grave. Some years ago the mate to
the swan died, and soon after the rock
ing-horse was placed on the newly
made grave, when the surviving swan
Immediately stationed himself as pro-
tectOr over the horse. If the father of
the little boy that Is buried there ap-
proaches, the swan makes no outcry,
but no one else Is allowed to approach
the spot. Recently the ho .se was taken
away and painted, and while it was ab-
sent, the swan took no notice Of the grave
but passed It's time on the pond or In
Its house, but wheu the horse was re-
placed, the swan took its position by
Its side, thus showing that 1t was
the rocking-horse and not the
grave that was the object of its
vigil. 1t is rumored that the trustee 8
ordered the horse removed, but the
owner Of tho lot refused to comply with
hc command, because his son had re-
quested that 1t should be placed above
his grave.

Successful Treatment Of Ietanus.-Dr.
Lucas, strongly advocates tho treat
ment of tetanus by smoking Indian
hemp. The leaves of the cannabis indi-
ca are mixed with three or four times
their quantity of ordinary tobacco. Di-
reetl y there are indications Of a spasm
coming on, tho fumes are inhaled until
the attack ceases. The patient is then
left quiet, but carefully watched, 80
that the pipe may be instantly handed
to him on any appearance Of the spasm
returning. In his way the patient is
kept continuously under the influence
ofhemp, day and night,nourishment be-
Ing carefully administered ut the same
time. The advantage claimed for this
mode OF treatment are these; l. The
spasms are out short. 2. They reap
pear gradually at longer and longer
intervals: 8. They gradually become
not onl y less frequent, but less severe
4. This saves the patients vital
powers. Mr.. Khasliglr, Of India, has
also treated five cases of trauma-
tic tetanus, all recovering by this
method.

Two pounds OF soap are dissolved in
about five gallons of water as hot as

ed to this fluid three large-sized table,
spoonfuls Of best oil of turpentine.
These fluids are incorporated rapidly
by means of beating them together with
a small birch broom. The linen Is
then soaked in this liquid for three
hours, care being taken to cover the
washingtub by a olosely-htting wooden
cover. BY this means the linen is
thoroughly cleansed, saving much rub
