and was walking off, when he noticed that the
thrush had returned to the bush from which
he had frightened it. He waited a moment to
watch its movements, when he saw it fly
down on the ground beneath the plum. There
it stood still short while, then began to
circle around the bush, still crying in Its Pc
cullar tones. This circling was kept up for a
while, and then the thrush seemed gradually
to weaken, and at length stood perfectly still,
immovable, with its wings partly open and
with its head bent forward He drew nearer
to the bush, when he heard an ominous hiss,
and looking down under the plum, saw a
huge black snake cooled up and about to
spring upon the bird. He frightened the

ChlOrOfOrining During Steep

The possibility of chloroformlng a person In
sleep, without waking him, having been dis.
puted IN a recent murder trial, Dr.. V. Quinn.
by, of Jersey City, was led to test the question
experimentally. The results were presented
in a paper before the section of the medical
jurisprudence at the meeting of the Medical
American Association, a few days ago. DR..
Qulmby made arrangements with a gentleman
to enter his room when he was asleep and ap.
ply chloroform to HIM. This he did with en-
tire success, transferring the person from
natural to artificial sleep without arousing
HIM. He used about three drachms of
Squlbb's chloroform, and occupied about
seven minutes in the operation. The second
case was boy of thirteen, who had refused
to take ether for a minor operation. DIR.
Quimby advised the mother to give the boy a
light supper and put HIM to bed. She did so
and Dr. Quimby, calling when the boy was
asleep, administered the chloroform and per
formed the operation without awakening the
boy. The third case was a boy Of ten years,
suffering from an abscess, and the same course
was pursued with equal success. Two import
ant differences may be drawn from these cases,
DR.. Quimby said Minor surgical operations
may be done with perfect safety and much
more pleasantly than IN the ordinary way;
and secondly, "A person somewhat skilled IN
the use OF chloroiorm may enter sleeping

evil intentions whllca person is asleep. Hence

A business ExplanataOa.

Every established local newspaper receives
subscriptions from large cities, which puzzle
the proprletors, but which the New York
Times lately explained as follows: "A whole
sale merchant IN this city, who had become
rich at the business, says his rule is, tina,
when he sells bill OF goods on credit to i'm
medlately subscribe for the local paper of his
debtor. SO long as his customer advertised
literally ana vigorously, he rested, but as soon
as he began to contract his advertising space
he took the fact as evidence that there was
trouble ahead and invariably went for the
debtor. Said he: "The man who IS too poor
to make his business known is too poor to dc
business" The withdrawal of an advertise
ment is evidence Of weakness that business
men are not slow to act upon.
