The Life of Wooden Leg.

Judge Bacon has had before him i'll
the Bloomsbury county court an action
of an unusual character, the subject Of
dispute being an artifcialleg. The case
for the plaintiffs was that the defendant,
Mr.. DEAFNESS, railway clerk, was sup
piled by them with an artificial leg,
the price of which was twenty-five
pounds, one-half of which was paid
when the limb was delivered. At
the time tie order was given the de-
fendant was suffering a great deal in
consequence Of his having for a long
time worn boys leg.
It was alleged that the leg was bad
fit, and for that reason he refused to pay
for it. On cross examination the plain
tiffs denied having guaranteed that the
leg would last for seven years. The Or
binary life of leg with ordinary wear
and tear would be some years, but how
many they could not say. Defendant,
who appeared in court wearing the leg,
which he offered through his counsel to
remove for his honors inspection, an
offer which was not accepted, said the
limb was Of no use to him, as it hurt
him very much, but he was obliged to
continue wearing it because he had no
other.
He was not a man who could afford a
new leg every year, and he bought this
offending limb on the representation
that he would be able to wear it with
comfort for seven years. Plaintiffs had
altered it once or twice, but still it was
very uncomfortable, and he now asked
to be allowed to give the plaintiffs back
their leg and to have his thirteen pounds
returned. His honor thought the leg
was good fit and gave judgment for the
plaintiffs for the amount claimed, with
costs.-Pall Mall Gazette.

A Deer in q Citv's Streets.

On recent afternoon large deer en-
tered the city and made its way through
Main street. Men tried to capture it,
but without success. Finally it was
headed off in front of the postofice. The
animal paused a moment and then
jumped over the railing of the bridge
into Kenduskeag river. The deer swan
gracefully up stream, with several par
ties in boats and canoes in hot pursuit.
They came up with the animal in short
time and one party captured it. It was
thought at first that it had escaped from
some deer park, but it was found to be q
wild animal, and had been seen on the
outskirts of the city earlier in the day

About Suustroke.

Among probable causes Of sunstroke
are the presence Of stagnant atmosphere.
excess in diet, as tending to retard tissue
changes, pulmonary oppression by clqa1S-
ing with consequent malaeration, great
physical exhaustion with cardiac fatigue
and the consumption, even in moderate
amount, of alcoholic liquors during hot
weather. The habitual wearing of some
what loose porous clothing, by encourag-
ing perspiration and assisting the re-
moval of its products, will also contrib
ute materially toward the reduction Of
the general temperature.
1t is needful to keep in view the ex-
IRENE sensitiveness of the cerebro spinal
nerve centers, especially those of the
medulla. The means by which protec-
ton can best be accomplished call for
brief notice. Among these may be men
toned the adoption of the familiar white
veil behind and over the head, the in
terposition of a wet white linen cloth
between head and hat and the effectual
ventilation of the latter.-London Lam

The Truant had the best of it and the
Sophia WAS last to cross the line. Veer-

stronger. and by the time Riker's island
was neared, the girls said it was a spank

made. The Truant, under Mrs. Lang's
skillful guidance, was an easy winner in
her class, while the Sophia and Peerless
also won honors. Souvenirs were given

After delightful sail, the yachts fin
