There was an exceedingly lively time in Q
dentists Office in Toronto few days ago
when man who desired to have several
molars extracted was made crazy instead oI
unconscious by the chloroform given him
He knocked down tho two dentists, and
threw a chair at one of them. He was finally
overpowered. Determined TO complete the
job they had begun, the doctors held him ia
the floor One fed him chloroform, and tho
other, when the patient was sufficiently sub.
dued, pulled out the teeth and with them a
great flow Of blood. The gore was seen by a
woman who had just entered the office. Think
ing that q horrible crime was being com.
mitted, she rushed out screaming, "Murder

planned satisfactorily to the responding oil.
GERS, the dentists discovered that their patient
was nearly dead from an overdose of tho
drug. The combined efforts of three physi-

cultipn,inn N.rsn. Malaria

An interesting and important experiment
has been going on for several years at the
abbey of the Ire Fontane in the Roman
Compagna, under the direction of the Trappist
monks, its purpose being to determine
whether or not the cultivation of the soil
would result in purifying the poisonous at
mosphere of the Campagna. The results thus
far have been most satisfactory. At first the
monks were obliged to live within the city
walls during the bad season; but since the
ground came under cultivation, and above all
since the eucalyptus glObulouS was planted ON
a large scale in the neighborhood, the abbey
has been inhabited all the year round, and
the fevers from which its inmates still some
times suffer are of O mild character and rarely
fatal; whereas at the outset something like
fourth of the little. community succumbcd
every year. The health of the 2s0 convicts
employed on the works is satisfactory, the
average annual deaths from malaria not ex-
ceeding three. The government has lately
made very large grant of land in perpetuity
to the Trappists, who have already planted
on IL no fewer than 100000 eucalyptus trees,
which are all doing WELL

Let Well Enough Alone.


Yesterday afternoon man from Girard
came into the Rankin house considerably ex-
cited and inquired If certain person was
stopping there He explained that that man
had "done him dirt" and he was anxious to
Lick him. Finding that the man had Just
left the house, he rushed out after him, and
finding him on Fort street, walked up to him
and announced that he had come all the way
from Girard to lick him, and accordingly he
started in. In few minutes he had black
ened both the mans eyes, walked over him
and reduced him to a general wreck. When
he had finished the job he stood the man up
against the wall Of the Pioneer store and re-
marked:
~ want you to understand that I consider
you the most infamous whelp ever saw. You

"Hold on" said the man who had Just been
licked, taking of his coat 81 think that
after thrashing O man you've no right to abuse
him. can stand a licking, but won't stand
abuse from any living man, no matter how
much he weighs. Now am going to lick you"
He was as good as his word, and started in
with the most busness-lixe air imaginable
and knocked the late victor into the gutter.
Every time he got up he knocked him down
with: Blast me, can't stand abuse" When
he got all through with the Girard man the
crowd thought it was a pile of rags and mud
"Now, look here, my FRIEND" said the last
victor, "next time you lick q man let well
enough alone. Don'tabuse him. You handled
yourself we'll enough while you were licking
me, but you overdid the abuse"

A Pretty Parable.

Frank James is manufacturing parallels
and using them with effect. In his last he
represents himself as fly which is SO weak
and little that its captor says, "Go, little fly"
We are fully aware of the fact that James is
little fly. Whom he was robbing trains he
was very fly, and We have not forgotten it.
We will fire OFF little parable ourselves.
Once upon time fly took to the brush, and
in the course OF few years succeeded in
singing several cashiers and railway conduct

closely, but he always managed TO escape, aud
as often as he did he stung other men and
made women weep and orphans mourn. The
fly became terror and all men feared him.

all from the cold, that | began really to en-
joy myself Men and women were all dressed
alike in this respect. You'd think the men
were enormous giants. They wear fur coats

were like athletes. They are at all kinds of
sport, except swimming, the whole winter
long, and they have u muscular demonstra-
tiveness that makes you feel as though you
would not care what happened If one
of them was by to take care of you But
the trouble about the women is they are also
like athletes. They are SO given to skating
and tobogganning and snowshoe walking that
they have lost the grace and charm of LADY,
like manner, and move along with a stride
and a swinging of the arms. But ON the other
hand, the men from the states all went wild
on them, and talked of nothing but Montreal
eyes and Montreal rosy cheeks. / can't ac-
count for that on any other theory than an
old one of mine-that men are naturally so
changeable and inconsistent about women.
None of their likes or dislikes are to be Won
dered at. The Montreal girls have got bright
eyes, and the most shocking red cheeks you
can imagine. I'd eat arsenic if i had them.
