MADE DEAF BY KIss.-A pretty
girl presented herself the other day
at clinic in one of the hospitals ol
Vienna and asked to be examined,
explaining that she had become sud-
denly deaf in one ear, and none OF
her friends could account for the un-
expected affection. Professor Gruber
kindly replied that he would see
what he could do, and accordingly
began to question her as to the cir
cumstances Immediately attending
the appearance of her deafness.
After much hesitation, and with
many bushes, or rather one pro-
longed blush, the girl at last con-
fessed that when her lover returned
after a long absence he took her in
his arms, and pressingihis mouth to
her ear conferred upon that organ q
most intense and vigorous kiss. At
that instant she felt sharp pain and
has been deaf ever since. The pro-
fessor made an examination, and
found that the drum of the ear had
actually been ruptured, and there il
no reason to doubt that the kiss did
it. The only consolation suggested
after recording this painful accident
is that it need never be repeated, il
ardent lovers will only remember
that kind Providence has provided
feature far more kissable than the
ear, and one which no amount oi
osculatory demonstration has ever
been known to injure.

ARTIFICIAL LIMBS.

"We see some queer cases once in
while," manufacturer said. The
other day a young Swede came in
here and had an artificial limb put
on below the knee, his leg having
been an pltated there. Without hest
Uation he walked away, but returned
in the afternoon, saying that the
leg hurt him. / asked if he had
walked much, and he said that he

second street, and carried trunk to
the Van Buren, street depot, and
then tramped over to Lincoln Park.
l told him well mans leg would
have needed a rest after that tramp.
The youngest child to whom l ever
fitted limb was school boy only
five years old, whose leg was cut off
close to the hip. He is the liveliest
boy in the school to-day, uses no
cane or crutch, and makes all his
playmates charry of getting within
range of the wooden foot when he
becomes angry. Another man had
both legs cut off by railroad train
two years ago, and when he came
the other day to have his artificial
legs repaired 1 found that he had

Only the other day man came in
here and said he wanted to have an
artificial leg repaired. He began
dancing and asked me to guess which
leg was the artificial one L watched
him, and said it was the right one.
He said 1 was right, but pulled up
his trousers and showed me that both
his legs were artificial. The Oldest
man / ever treated was ~ years of
age. l fitted him with the left leg,
which was cut off above the knee.
There is a mistake made by the pub
lie who think that the bearing is on

"Do you have much trade with
women?"
"Very little. 1t is seldom that a
woman loses her leg. We have, how
ever, considerable trade with them
in remedying shortened limbs. Not
a few women are born with short
ened limb, and we fix that by an ar
tifcial leg, the calf of which contains
the deformed foot. There was a
colored woman here awhile ago to
whom we fitted an arm and leg She

HE WANTED TO BE GLUED FOR LIFE

A couple from away up in the hills
came to town yesterday to get mar
lied. The groom, apparently about
thirty year of age, wore clay -colored
suit of jeans, and carried in one
hand black snake whip. The bride.
who was scarcely more than twenty,
was indeed blooming beauty
Making their way to justice of the
peace, and pulling the license out of
his pocket, the love-stricken man
asked:
BE you the 'Squire7'
Il be- said the Squire; what is
it you wish?'
Have you the power fur to marry
people and hitch 'em solids"
"Yes, sir"
$50 it can't never become undone?'
Yes, sir"
Fire ahead, Squire"
The Squire proceeded to business,
and when he got as far as the ques-
tion to the girl, "Do you take this
man for your lawful and welded
husband?" the groom lengthened the
ceremony by putting the following
additional questions to her, for he
wan!el to be "hitched tighter nur
wax"
"And you won't have no more to
do with Bill Sykes?' No" "Nur
Sam Hill?" No" "Nur Pete
Jones?' NO
See here, Sallie, don't look down
on the floor that ways. that means
you don't know whether you will or
not. Look squar' in my face Sallie."
Then Sallie looked "squar" in his
face, and he continued:
'Nur Jack Powers?'
"No."
Here the Squire interrupted and
said:
Il don't think it's necessary to pin
the young lady down so closely.
She promises me to be your true and
lawful wife, and that's enough"
esquire, you don't know that gal
like L do. She's a coquette. She
firts with every fellow who gifts
struck after her, and there are dozens
of 'em. Now want all that business
stopped; and want it done here by
law"
$50 be it." said the Squire; Sarah
Peters is welded to you for life, and
no power on earth can take her from
you"
That's the talk! Come on, Sallie;
you're mine! We're glued for life!
oh, wait till pay the Squire"
He paid the Squire dollar-all
he had-and left for his country
wagon happier than he'll ever be
again. = Kentucky State Journal.
