His Honor and the Small Boy.
"Bub," said his honor, as he looked
over the desk down upon a red-headeC
rat of twelve, "do you expect to bt
sent to the state prison for life?"
"Y-yith, thir," was the reply.
"Well, you'll get there if you keer
on. Don't you know that it is an awful
thing for boy like you to throw big
apple and hit an ex-alderman in the
left eyer"
'It slipped, thir. %
'How?"
"I throwed it a b-boy, an it went of
t'other way"
"Throwed at boy, eh? Suppose you
had killed the boy?"
"Yith, thir, I'd like to kill him, cause
he dubbed my dog"
His honor looked under the desk for
an imaginary umbrella, and it was a
long minute before he Strengthened up
and said
"Yours is serious case"
"Yith, thir.'s
"You must be checked in your young
career. If you will assault an alder
man now, what wouldn't you do when
you are a man?"
'Yith, thir, wouldn't"
'I don't want to send you to the
workhouse, and yet I feel that you
must be made to respect the law. BIZ
jah, hadn't you better take care of this
boy?"
Bijah led him into the corridor and
shut the door. What passed there may
never be revealed. When the door was
opened the floor was strewn with pieces
of shingle, and the boy had gone
around the corner. Those who saw
him said that he looked ruffied from
the back of his neck down to his heels
and that he was in a great hurry

the London medical journals declares
that the great prevalence of neuralgia
or what commonly goes by that
name-should be regarded as warn
ing indicative of q low condition of
health, which must necessarily render
its sub jects peculiarly susceptible to the
| invasion of diseases of an aggressive
type. 1t is always essential that the
vital forces should be vigorous, and the
nerve power, in especial, in full devel-
opment; but neuralgia indicates a low
or depressed state of vitality-a poor
and weak state-and should be prompt
