A story is told of Il German who
while shaving, accidently cut of
his nose. In his excitement he
dropped the razor, and decapitated
one of his toes. Hastily picking
up the d~ismemborcd portions Of his
aratomy, he clapped them TO the
bleeding wounds and bound them
on tightly. After the flesh had
grown fast and healed up, he re-
moved the bandages, and was filed
with horror when he found a well
developed toe in lieu of a nasal or
gan, and vice versa. Now when.
ever he gets a coldhe has to remove
his shoe and stocking in order to
blow his nose. This is the cham.
pion for 1882.
