Mutilating His Tongue.

3. KINGSTON. Ont, April 1.
FRANCOIS CLARION, a Frenchman, being inn
pressed with the fact that he had made too
much use of his tongue cut of portion of it
last evening: Yhe bleeding was profuse, the
man becoming faint from the loss of blood be-
fore assistance was secured. He said that he
had talked too much and he'was getting him
self into trouble. He had been told by some
person "that he should have q piece of his
tongue taken Off" and he proceeded to adopt
the advice. He first took razor to perform
the operation, but this was taken away from
him. After time he TOOK a common awl and
drove 1t through the tip of his tongue, split
ting the latter for about half an inch. He
next took common jackknife and cut away
part OF the papilla- While in d frenzy from
his suherings he attempted to hang himself,
but was saved by his wife. He was very de-
termined about cutting out his tongue. He
told reporter that it caused him any amount
OF difficulty, and he felt that it would be safer
to extract IL. Since his exploit he thinks he
didn't go about the business right, but if he
mad good instrument he believed he would
nave succeeded For many years he has s,een
under the belief that the tongue is the bane of
all evil, and for weeks he has refused to speak
q word.
