Investigating DIR. Tanner


Young Dr. Snodgrass. of Joralemon street,
has given much of his valuable time and
great deal of his equally valuable attention to
the experiment undertaken by DR.. Tanner,
and has prepared an exhaustive thesis upon
his observations. At first Dr. Snodgrass was
inclined to think that DIR. Tanners under
clothing was boiled in oatmeal and milk, and
that he thus absorbed ncurishment through
the pores but he was induced to give up this
theory by the learned arguments of DR.. Hella-
ry, who called him an ass and threatened to
stamp on him If he didn't withdraw those
views. After further research Dr. Snodgrass
arrived at the conclusion that DIR. Tanner
might be finding nutriment in the flies and
mosquitoes which his phenomenal agility en-
abled him to catch and swallow while his
watchers were making copious notes of his
condition; but this idea was dispeled by DR.
Yam, who pointed out to DIR. Snodgrass in an
elaborate disluisition that he'd get his neck
broken and his nose twisted if he ever again
advanced similar proposition.
Thus corrected in two Of his efforts to &C
count for DR.. Tanners condition, Dr. Snod-
grass returned to his memoranda and evolved
another theory. He had learned that Dr.
Tanner had been for some years a resident of
uliuuodpOliS, WuiCu u6 huoW 10 D6 SlUuaLeQ on
the banks of the Mississippi. AS malarial
district. the Mississippi bottom has facilities
unparalleled. From this DR.. Snodgrass argued
that DR.. Tanners system must be filled with
malaria. His works of reference taught him
that malaria consists of species of fungus,
and he remembered that some Italian physi-
clans had secured some of the fungi and in
noculated dog Herewith, to the great incon-
venience of the dog, who died with all the
symptoms of chills and fever. This, then,
was the secret of DIR. Tanners ability 10 fast.
His stomach was snbsisting on the malarial
fungi which he had absorbed in his Mime
sofa home, and he tcould exist until the germs
were exhausted. And this system would
prove specific in cases of malaria! And DR..
Snodgrass had profted by DIR. Tanners expe-
rience without enduring the pain of the ex-
periment Starvation for chills and fever was
the remedy henceforth, and Dr. Snodgrass
would be blessed by suffering millions!
He prepared himself for the next meeting of
the Neurological Society, and Friday evening
read his paper to the assembled physicians
The discussion partook of the nature of all
medical arguments on new theories, and need
not be reported in full. DIR. Hemans fetched
DIR. Snodgrass o lick behind tile ear as soon az
he had finished, and DIR. Wolverine belted
him across the second intention of the accipi-
tai roctiop. DE-. Morewater jammed the
centre spinal knot into his liver, and DIR.
Apathy broke him squarely in half just below
the diaphragm.
There are some doubts of DIR. Snodgrass's
recovery, but the discussion, by SO MANY
learned pathologists, of the abstruse question
presented by DR.. Snodgrass is destined to
work marvellous reforms in the treatment of
the shakes

WEDNESDAY MORNING, JULY 81.
An Inconvenient Parrot.
Boston Post.l

lbOSlOh fOSt.l
Mr.. Ragbag and his wife, who. reside in a
South End boarding house, have long Kept a
parrot which insisted on yelling at the most
unreasonable hours, and disturbed the other
boarders. But they resolutely refused to part
with it, and no one could get chance to kill
it on the sly, and SO it devolved on the ingenu-
ity of Mr.. Racketer to get away with the bird.
At times, Mrs. Ragbag left home for visit,
and on such occasions her husband remained
at home and had some high old times in his
room which he never thought to tell his wife
about when she returned, and occasionally he
was away and Mrs. Ragbag had some jolly
little parties which she forgot to tell her hus-
band about. Racketer knew this, and is some
thing of ventriloquist, and one night, when
Mr. and Mrs. Ragbag were entertaining some
friends, he got outside the window where the
parrots cage hung, and pretty soon the assem-
blage in the room was startled by a remark
from the parrots cage concerning Ragbags
last party. However, nobody appeared to no.
tice it, though Mrs. Ragbag resolved OH an eX-
PLANTATION when her guests left. In an instant
came observation about Mrs. Ragbag's
friend, Mr.. Rats, rather snowy young mar.
Mrs. II looked rather nervously at the bird,
ing an explanation later. The next observa-
ton connecting Ragbag with variety actress
caused guest to remark that it was an odd
bird and Mrs. r. said she'd like to know how
he got such an idea, and Ragbag stroled I'M
der the cage and said aside to the bird, "Dum
ye, hold yer iaw!' But the bird didn't obey.
He in six minutes mentioned four firtations
of Mrs. RS, and five scrapes of Ragbags.
The guests began to smoker and the owners of
the parrot to grow red in the face.
The next charge against the lady led her
husband to exclaim: "Womau, is it possible
that you've given this bird cause to talk 500"
NO." she cried, 'but believe you've been
bad man." The guests thereupon said good
night and waited in the corridor to hear the
rest of the fun. The parrot went right on and
Mrs. r. and her husband were soon accusing
each other of all sorts of things Then they
pulled hair for awhile, and Mrs. r. tainted as
Ragbag announced that he should get d.
vorce. "Oh. you won't. You'll get drunk
and forgive her" squeaked the bird. "There,
dun you, that lets you out" cried the infuri-
ated man, and me grabbed the bird from the
cage and wrung its neck, and then he stalked
ont of the room, and the listeners had to skur-
ry to avoid being caught, and it was wholly
week before Ragbag and his wife made up.
And they haven't found out vet that the par
rot wasn't to blame in the matter.
