III Cured Him.

l would like to tell you of al Incl
dent of absentmindedness that cured a
schoolmaster entirely of this often
comical mental defect. The bell was
ringing for school, and the masters
wife wanted a pail of water and a hod
of coal. To save time, the master
stroye to get both the water and the
coal at the same time. He drew the
water from an old-fashioned well, and,
getting the hod filled with coal. entered
the house with his hands full. He
walked up to the sink and placed the
hod of coal where the water pail was
usually kept, and, taking the pail OF
water into the sitting room, poured it
into the stove. The kissing steam
blew opeE the stove door, issued fro m
the coal chamber and every seam in
the stove, scorched the master, put out
the FIRE, and filed the house with
steam.
Amid it all issued the agonized shout
of the schoolmaster; BLAST my eyes
I've made another mistake!" He never
made another. In the week that he
was done up in linen bandages and
goose grease his mind as well as his
body was restored to a healthy con
dition.-[NorUicb Bulletin.

Optical Illusions.

was such, I looked at the igure until
it slowly faded away. Let me add
that I am in good bodily health, cheer

friend who died lately said in her last

Malmesbury's Successful Book.

Nobody, in all probability, is 0
astonished than Lord Malmesbury
himself at the unexpected pecuniary
success of his memoir. The book was
originally set UP in type at his own ex-
pense, and six months ago he would
gladly have sold the venture outright
for ESQ. AS it is, the net profits al
ready exceed f2,000; the first Frenc
edition is nearly exhausted, and even
Mr.. Tanchnitz has paid handsomely
for the right of reproduction. The
author seems to have dictated the whole
work to the shorthand writer, and this
accounts for the curious errors in the
spelling Of proper names which crspt
into the earlier editions. Lord Malmes-
bury will probably shortly issue an
additional volume, bringing his MARIA
tive down to the death Of Lord Beacons-
field; and in the interests of posterity
and contemporary history-making he
still writes up his diary every day
with praise worthy diligence.-Lohdoh
