A man who was caught in the act
of skinning a neighbours sheep cov-
cred his embarrassment by declaring
that no sheep could bite him and live.
The logic of this is cqualed by that Of
the Yankee soldier who once had a
narrow escape from an enraged gan.
der.
The men Of a certain Maine regi-
ment, which was in the enemy's coun-
try in 1862, considered the order mo
foraging' an additional and uncalled
for hardship.
One afternoon about dusk a soldier
was seen beating a rapid retreat from
the rear Of a farmhouse near by,
closely pursued by a gander with
wings outspread, whose feet seemed
scarcely TO touch the ground, and
from whose beak issued a succession
Of angry creams.
The fugitive was not treasured by
the cries of the gander's owner: Hold
on. man. hold on! He won't hurt
you"
Call off your gander! Call him
of. shouted the fleeing soldier.
Neither man nor gander stopped
until inside tie camp lines, when the
soldiers frie nds relieved him of his
fiercv pursurr with the aid of the butt
of a muske
Did that gander think he could
chase me Ike that aud liver the sol.
der exclaimed. as he surveyed the
outstretched bird; but he said nothing
of the bsited hook. with cod line at.
tached, which might have thrown
light on the unfortunate gander's
strange actions. Youths Companion.

Ole bulls Self Respect,

The late Ole Bull, the well known
violinist, was perfectly fearless of con
sequences when his self respect was
touched. AS an example of this: The
grand duchess of Mecklenburg gave

afterward the Emperor William.
With this lac wenttr Berlin, where, as
directed, he called first on the super.
intcndcnt of the Royal Opera house,
To whom he stated his mission. That
gentleman was so patronizing that
Bull could hardly stand it; but event
ually an hour was fixed ON the follow.
ing day for another call at the opera
house.
The violinist, with his usual punctu.
ality, presented himself at the hour,
determined 10 stand no nonsense.

entering between the corresponding

Consumption at High Attitudes.

The distribution Of phthisis in Swift.
zerland has been reported upon in The
Lancet by Or. L. Schrotter. Facts
and figures slated do not give much
support TO the common impression
that high attitudes are practically free
from consumption. Tables Of deaths
for the years ls76-sG show that the
disease is endemic TO every district OF
Switzerland. not one escaping IL. II
is true that deaths from this cause are
fewer in the high regions than in those
that lie lower, yet the ratio is not by
any means inversely proportionate TO
the altitude. II is remarked that con.
sumption prevails wherever the popu-
lation is largely industrial. Agricul.
tural populations suffer less from II
than do industrial populations at the
same altitude.
