There is a hamlet known as Towns

There is a hamlet known as Towns
vile in Orange County, N. Y, and a
citizen there has a number of children
who were born on each day OF the week
from Monday to Sunday, and he named
them from the days of the week on which
they were born. A short time ago an
other was born, which was a sticker for
him, there being nc more days to mama
from, so he called the last one One
Week.-Aljcny Journal.

One of the queerest curiosities on
the globe is a man with a silver skull,
who was visiting in Louisville, Ky.
During a tiercely contested battle in the
late war this interesting individual was
struck in the head with a piece of shell,
which tore away the entire top of his
skull, leaving the brain most horribly
exposed. Strange to say, he survived
the terrible wound, and a noted surgeon,
who was one Of the physicians in attend
nee upou the lamcnted Garfield, sue
ceeded in fitting a silver plate oyer tho
opening, which shielded the brain
equally as well as the skull. This plate
is about the size of a mars hand, and
works on hinges, and may be raised up
and down at will. The re-skulled man
does not experience the least pain, and
as he wears a wig all evidence of a shat
tered skull is concealed.-Lowsul1e

THE BABY HAD ITS FATHERS COM
PLEYION.

THE BABY HAD ITS FATHERS COM
PLEXION.
Mr.. Blanket sat looking at the baby
trying to think of the usual idiotic, un-
meaning and unmeant things that peo-
pie say about new babies, and, at last,
in spasm Of originality, remarked that
''the baby had its fathers complexion. +"
Then they all sat and looked at the
rich cardinal hues that made the wrinkled
countenance of the unconscious infant
glow like mountain sunset, and nobody
said anything until feeble voice from
an adjoining room said:
eft was good thing the baby had it
naturally, then, as itrequired about fif-
teen years steady practice and the CO.
operation of three scientific clubs and
five political campaigns to acquire it."
Then sad quiet stole over the room
again, only broken by the hard breath
ing of the baby's father, looking at the
thermometer to see what time it was ;
while Mr.. Blanket, feeling that he could
add nothing to what had already been
said, stole down stairs, softly whisper
ing to himself about some fool, bit the
company couldn't catch the name and
didn't know who he meant.
