Magruder's brother in the gloom of
his cupboard did not comprehend the
character of these threats, but he had a
vague idea that the life of that lovely

peculiarly deadly description. He felt
that the punishment was too severe for
the crime. Magruder himself, he was
convinced, would have regarded that
orbicularis operation with courageous
fortitude and heroic composure.
Mrs. Magruder then proceeded to give
the class practice in certain operations
in medical treatment. She vaccinated
Magruder on the left arm, while one Of
the students bled his right arm and
showed her companions how to tie up
vein. They applied leeches to his nose
under the professors instructions; they
cupped him on the shoulder blades; they
tard plasters ON his back; they timed
his pulse; they held out his tongue with
pinchers and examined it with u micro
scope, and two or three enthusiastic
students kept lowering round Magruder's
leg with saw and carving knife until
Magruder's brother in retirement in the
cupboard 'shuddered with apprehension.
At last Magruder began to revive. He
turned over; he sat up; he stared wildly
at the company; he looked at his wife;
then he sank back upon the sofa and
said to her in feeble voice:

awfully funny"

sidered that after the performance Of
the class Magruder ought to feel funny
enough to edit q comic paper. He
emerged from the cupboard, and Selling
a chair determined to tell the whole
story. Mrs. Magruder and the class
screamed, but he proceeded. Then up
rose Magruder and discussed the subject
with vehemence, while his brother
brandished his chair and joined in the
chorus.
Mrs. Magruder and the class cried,
and said Mr.. Magruder was a brute and
had no love for science. But Mr.. Ma

Why EOt2

An English gentleman and bis wife who
were visiting friends in Scotland wero
taken to see an interesting monastery not
far from Cluny, their friends estate. In
that part of the country a man is known
by the name of his estate. When they
were asked tn write in the monastery Wis
itors' book the Englishman noticed that
his host, Mr.. MacPhearsOn, wrote, "Cluny
and Mrs MACPHERSON"
Not to be outdOne, the En2lishman
promptly wrote, "26 Lennox gardens, Pont
street, and Mrs. Lockwood"
Another story is told Of Mr.. Lockwood,
in which his part is not, one must conclude,
as innocent as it looks. He is evidently
fond of joke.
He often visits extremely wealthy and
hospitable friends in the country. These
friends have a room ready for him when
ever he cares to occupy it. The house Is
seven miles from railway station or tele-
graph office. He once telegraphed them
from London, "May stay over Sunday"
His host paid ten or twelve shillings 10
the messenger and replied, 'Of course, but
don't telegraph"
To this Lockwood innocently replicd-by
telegraph not?'--Youth's Com
panion.
