Mad Dog Killed.

One dav last week mad dug Mas killed
in town. Fortunately no one was bitten
by him, but 1t may be possible that other
dogs about the place are similarly affected
and some immediate action should he
taken by the corporate authorities TO pre-
vent any serious results from such a
source. Let the council give. notice at
once that every dog must be muzzled, in-
side the corporate limits; and, after such
notice has been duly giyens let every dog
TINT is found without muzzles be taken
up aud held in the pound and released on
payment, say of SLIGO 6ne, and the dog he
ing muzzlcd blythe owner. Prompt action
in this matter may lie the means of saving
several lives.
Since writing the above tho city council
at their meeting Tuesday evening, wisely
enacted the following ordinance:

The Growth of Oysters.

The oyster at the commencement
of its career is so small that two mill
ion would only occupy square men.
In six months each individual oyster
is large enough to cover half-a-croWn,
and in twelve months crown piece.
The oyster is its own architect, and
the shell grows as the fish inside
grows, being never too small
1t also bears its age upon its back,
and it is as easy to tell the age Of an
oyster by looking at the she'll as it is
that of horses by looking at their
teeth. Every one who has handled
an oyster-shell must have noticed the
successive layers overlapping each
other.
These are technically termed shots,
and each one marks a years growth,
so that by counting them the age OF
the oyster can be determined. Up to
the time of it's maturity-that is,
when four years of age-the shots are
regular and successive; but after that
time they become irregular and are
piled one upon another, so that the
shell becomes bulky and thickened.
Fossil oysters have been seen Of which
each shell was nine inches thick,
whence they may be judged to be
more than 900 years old.
One or two million oysters are pro,
duced from single parent, and their
scarcity is accounted for by the fact
that man is not the only oyster eat
ing animal The starfish loves the
oyster and preys upon it increasingly.
A variety of whelk is also very fond
of young oysters, to get at which 1t
bores right through the shell and
sucks the fish up through the hole
thus made.

Why She Heard So Many Voices.

A few days ago well-known
teacher Of singing presented herself
to physician, says the Mahogany
Tree, and in an irritated tone of voice
said: Doctor. wish you would tell
me what ails me. l hear fifty voices
every time anyone speaks to me-"
The doctor looked at her a moment
and then replied: Madam, you
probably hear two" II am sure, "
persisted the teacher, that [ hear
twenty" 1.-Two" stoically replied
the doctor; and he picked up tun-
ing fork, touched it, and applied it
to her ear. "What note is that?"
he asked. She told him; and he gave
her the same pitch in her other ear.
"And that?" And, behold! it
sounded a minor third lower.
LAS l told yOu," said the medicine
man, ''you are suffering from a de.
preston of the nerves in one ear"
To use a homely but significant
misapplication of terms, her ears
were not of focus. The teacher was
in great distress.
1T does not hurt, and it does not
show" she complained, "but could
better afford to have rheumatic fever.
Did anyone ever have it before?"
The doctor laughed. ''Bless your
heart, madam" he said, las many as
twenty of the Symphony orchestra
men had the same affection last win
ter"
Think of the possibilities of the
spread of such a disease! Singers
sing out Of tune, players wander
from the pitch, and it may not be
their fault. Their ears may be out
of focus Critics suffering from the
same disas jrous affection may wrong
fully accuse performers. All differ
ence of opinion may be due to this
auricular depression. The humorous
possibilities arising from the existence
of such complaint are very suggest
i've. 1t will appear in the light of q
boomerang to both artist and critics.

The Old and the New.

II called at dentists Office to-
day." said a Western Congressman.
II had hollow tooth that ached a
good deal, SO I thought I'd haye it
upholstered; but the dentist advised
me to have it drawn instead of filed,
saying that the process was almost
painless and the satisfaction com.
plete. yielded to his argument with
fear and trembling. had never had
a tooth pulled since I was boy, and
the memory of my last experience In
that line was enough to give person
bad dreams.
II was surprised at the ease with
which the fang was extracted and
the almost complete absence of pain.
After this I'll rather enjoy having
teeth drawn. 1t was widely differ
ent when I was boy, though. l re.
member the village dentist quite
we'll When he wasn't removing mo-
lars he was shoelng horses He was
a large man, and the muscles of his
brawny arms were strong as iron
bands. He used no anasthetics.
HE simply throtted his victim
and inserted pair of tongs into the
unfortunate's mouth, and then he
breathed hard and pulled until. the
tooth came out or the tongs broke or
he sprained his wrist. He generally
extracted three or four sound teeth
before he captured the aching one,
but he was liberal and made no extra
charges. Oh, l tell you, the world
has advanced since I was boy, and
in nothing more than dentistry" and
the Congressman removed his spec
tacles in order that he might see the
paper he held in his hand.

The Word "JOlly,"l

Jolly." On the adoption of this
word into the English it had the
meaning of beautiful, as it has among
the French to-day The English
dramatist Beaumont of the sixteenth
century, speaks Of our first mother as
''the jolly Eve" In time, however,
it came to mean hilarious, regardless
of physical beauty. But this latter
meaning is probably the right one af-
ter all, as the word doubtless comes
from Yule (Yu-le). the pagan Christ.
mas, so. to speak, for be it known
that what we now observe as Christ.
mas day was a heather holiday
called Yule, and the Yule festival
was one Of noisy demonstration
Yule. indeed, means noise or Outcry,
praising in loud voice, chanting,
singing, making outcry in honor OF
their God. From Yule, then, to
Jolly the step is short and easy-both
meaning revelry, rejoicing, ours in
risen Lord, theirs the same. The
words are identical. So, too, in
large degree the Christmas jollitIes,
praises, and those Of heather Yule.
into such close relation do simple
words sometimes connect the present
with the past. Democrat.

The Sense of Time In sieep.

A Massachusetts, man tells the fol-
lowing: Il arrived one day at
sleepy Italian town and joined party
of friends It was in the late after.
noon, and was very tired. / had
been rowing distance, and l soon
went upstairs, lay down in my boat
flannels for little rest before dress
ing, and fell directly asleep-one of
those stony, moyeless sleeps that seem
to tire more than rest one. When ]
awOke was surprised to see by the
light that it was not night, not even
morning: but by the shadows of late
afternoon, and from my sense of hav-
ing been asleep long, long time, ]
realized that had slept for twenty.
four hours! A little dazed and
ashamed of myself 1 got ready, went
down and Joined my friends. They
did not seem to pay. much attention to
my absence; in short. they did not act
at all strange, and when apologized
for not having joined them at dinner
the day before they said: Why you
were not here yesterday, and in some
way or other, little by little, it was
borne in upon me that I had been
asleep about ten minutes. II had
been alone should certainly have
lost day out of my life"
