any ancient temple hitherto known. The architect has

pretty girl presented herself the other
day at a clinic in Of tue hospitals OF Vienna and
asked be examined, explaining that she hal suddenly
become deaf in ear and none Of her friends could
account for the unexpected acOn. Professor Gruber
kindly replied that he would what he could do, aud
accordingly began to question her to the circum
stances immediately attending the appearance of her
| deafness. After much hesitation, and with many
bushes rather prolonged blush, the girl at last
confessed when her lover returned after long abb
took her in his and pressing his mouth to
| her ear conferred upon that organ most In
| tense and vigorous kiss At that instant she
felt sharp pain and had been deaf ever since The
fessor made an examination and found that the drum
OF tho ear had actually been ruptured and there

ton suggested after recording this painful accident Is
that It need never be repeated II ardent lovers will only
remember that kind Providence has provided fea
re tar more kssabe than the ear, aud which no
amount OF Oscuatory denomination has ever been
known to injure.
