TROLLEY DRIVING is NOT FUN.

one Driver Keeps at It in His Sleep,
ana Dreams of Managing Pedestrians.
Inc motorman of a Greene Avenue
trolley car was leaning over the dash
board and straining his eyes to see into
the darkness, while one hand was on
the brake and the other held the han
die that turned the electric current on
and Oft. The car was bowling down hill
at something like fifteen miles an hour,
and the motorman, says the New York
sun, kept the gong going to warn pedes-
TRANS on the cross walks and drivers of
teams on the cross streets. At last the
foot of the hill was reached, and the
worst of the strain on the man was re-
Iieved.
"Did you ever drive horse car ?'' a
passenger inquired.
Il did, Sir; fourteen years in this
city"
(Which would you rather do-drive
horses or run trolley car ?"
Il would twenty times rather drive
horses. There is no use talking, this
business will make an old man of me in
year. The horses helped to take care
OF themselves, and they helped take
care of the car and driver They gave
the driver warning when there was
anybody in the way Of the car. They
turned aside and slowed little, and
let the car run up against them. Then
again, the car did not 60 so terribly fast,
and it was instantly comfortable. 1t
could be stopped at once"
"Well, what about the trolley cars ? "
ooh, there's no comparing one sort
with the other. The trolley cars slip
along SO quietly and so swiftly when
they get a clear run Oh quiet street
that you are down on man or child
before you or they can help it. There's
no CHATTER of hoofs to give signal and no
horses body to nudge a person out of

HIS TONGUE WAS SPLIcEn

"e"arkable operation on Boy Whose
Tongue Was Almost Cut Off
George Huron, the 12-vear-old son
of William Huron, a coachman IN ~ =
New York Cab Company's stable, ioine d
his happy playmates on West Forty
third Street recently for the frst time
IN over month. He interested them
much with the tale of his spliced tonoue
which he was continually requested to
exhibit. ~
George was kicked in the right cheek
by a vicious horse when going about the
stable with his father, and from the
Tune OF the accident he was unable
TO make himself understood. His
nttle tongue had been severed far
Dack, where 1T enters the throat. and
when DIR. a. w. Curtis, of West Forty
fourth Street, called in response to a
summons to the Huron apartments he
lound the organ hanging from the boy s
mouth
The poor little fellow was suffering
agony. He would attempt to talk be-
tween groans, but his articulation
sounded like that of one tongue-tied
from birth. The family were all in
tears, for they believed the doctor
would have to throw away the severed
portion and that George would never
be able to talk again.
DR.. Curtis experienced much difficulty
in examining the wound, his little pa
tent being in a terribly nervous condi-
ton from pain and fear. The doctor
administered q small dose Of laudanum.
He then proceeded to examine the
child's mouth, placing a cork between
the large rear molars.
The first bicuspid tooth of the right
jaw was broken off at the gum and the
tongue entirely severed at the function
of the tip with the base, or the posterior
portion of the fraenum linguae, with the
exception of few inches of the mucous
membrane on the right side. The sur
geon drew the base of the organ forward
with a tenaculum The base was then
drawn into position with the apex and
secured by fine silk ligatures.
Knowing the tongue would not heal
we'll, or perhaps not at all, if left loose
in the mouth, a novel continuance was
employed to keep it ina stationary posi-
ton, also stretching it to it's normal
length. The balance of the treatment
consisted in washing the mouth twice
daily with solution of boracic acid and
giving a liquid diet.
Yesterday when the doctor called he
found the spliced tongue had healed to
his satisfaction and removed the OBJ
struction. George began to artculate
as we'll as his brothers and sisters, and
is happy now that he is no longer com
PEELED to lay on his back and with his
mouth propped open with corks.

Cbild-marriage in England.

Few folk have any idea that in Eliza
bethan times the custom of childmar-
riages prevailed in England, yet the
deiapidated volumes of dispositions in
the Ecclesiastical Court of Chester, A.
D. 1885," proves that these marriages
must have been frequent in Cheshire
and Lancashire, and no doubt other
like records in the rest of our dioceses
will, when looked up, establish the fact
that such marriages were common all
over England. The birth of a child in
the Berkeley family, when the father
and mother were each 132 years old,
shows what was going on elsewhere a
century earlier

Motto on a Clock.

The following account Of the ORR
gin Of welI-known motto for time-
piece, whether true or false, is worth
recording. Some years ago new
clock was made TO be placed in the
Temple Hall. When finished, the
cloCkmaker was desii ed to wait on
the Benchers Of the Temple, who
would think of a suitable motto to
be ut under the clock. He applied
several times but without getting
the desired information, as they had
not determined on the inscription.
Continuing to importune them, he at
last came when the old Benchers were
met in the Tempe Hall, and had just
sat down to dinner.
The workman again requested to
be informed of the motto; one Of the
Beuchers, who thought the applica-
tion ill-timed, and who was fonder Of
eating and drinking than inventing
original notices. testify replied: go
about your business" The mechanic,
taking this for an answer to his Que5-
tiOn, went home and inserted at the
bottom of the clock, go about your
business, and placed it on the Temple
Hall, to the great surprise Of the
BencherS, who, upon considering the
circumstance, agreed that accident
had produced better motto than
they could think of, and ever since
the Temple clock has continued to
remind the lawyers and the public to
go about their business The Million.

Betrayed by an echo.

Perhaps the most interesting echo,
partly because Of its history, is that
of the Cathedral of Girgenti, in Sicily,
where the slightest whisper is borne
with perfect distiDctneSs from the
great western door to the cornice be-
hind the high altar. The fact that
faint whisper could be thus carried
250 feet was discovered accidentally
by man who overheard the confess
sion Of a fair sinner, the confessional
being just at the most unfortunate
place. The secret was kept jealouslv
guarded by the dis oyerer and a few
intimate friends to whom he cOndded
1t, while escapades OF the most pri-
vate nature became public property
in the most mysterious way. Finally
one listener had his curiosity more
than satiared b. hearing his wife's
confession to the priest, and raised
such row that the secret became
known, and the location Of the con-
fessional was changed to more Sc
cure part of the ed fee.
