par excellence of topsy-turveydom. and numerous
Illustrations might be given in support OF the asser'
ton. The most startling, however, is that which

other day. 4 native lady of high rank beng anxious

the consequence that when 1t was opened tho
things which should have been Oh top were at tho
bottom OF the case, and vice versa The result OF
this upside down arrangement gave rise to nsunder'

Tragedy of a Tooth Brush.
TO-, a. n l. - e,4

Two maiden ladies' of Washington-the story
has only just leaked out-were crossing the
ocean last summer together in the same state
room, which they shared One fateful morning
Miss A. was CLEANING her teeth when sac discov-
cred to h r horror that she had been using Miss
BIS tooth brush
oh the nasty thingn' she exclaimed. and
hung the miSappled toilet instrument out
through the port hole into the sea, where it was
doubtless gobbled by some big fl n long before
it sank mile or so to the bottom.

ut was your own fault You shouldn't have
taken the wrong one And, even so. to throw

The wet end of a towel does well enough as
substitute. OF course, I'm sorry that your
tooth brush is gone, but I'm surprised that YOU

And SO the discussion went on, Miss A. con
tending that the damage to her feelings was
more serious than Miss b. s loss of property,
and Miss B. continuing to hold an opposite
view of the case During the rest of The trip
Miss b. went without tooth brush-much to
her grief, inasmuch as she is a remarkably nice
person as to her physical habits-wnile Miss A.
cherished her own grievance uncomproynis-
ingly. Even yet, whenever the two ladies'
meet, the dispute is apt to come up in an ami
cable way as to which of the Two was the
greater sufferer by the mistake in tooth
brushes.

Upon one occasion. while the judge was en-
