XudicrOus Rage.

Possibly as ludicrous thing as ever
happened was the experience of my
friend, Professor Roswell Park of Buf.
falo. A mans life had been saved by
the beautiful surgical skill of success.
full laryngotomy. When health had been
restored, my friend proposed to his pa.
tient the insertion of an artificial larynx,
SO that vowel tones, or true voice, could
be added to the whisper that necessarily
resulted from the absence of the vocal
chords. This apparently highly desir'
able thing was done, but the tone, OF
course, was uniform. There was no
change of pitch possible to the mechan
ical larynx, and expression, modulation,
timbre-everything that makes voice
pleasant and more than useful was alb
sent. The man could speak, convey
ideas perfectly, but when he tried to
give emphasis, nuances, shadings, di-
verse meanings and especially when he
tried to express emotion, anger or resent
ment there were only the monotonous
drone and squeak of the intolerable ma
chine. Nothing could control the con-
vulsive laughter of the surgeon and as
sistants. The poor mans indignation
sought outlet in speech, but the very
words of wrath were turned to outra-
geous absurdity by the Internal device
In spasm of ebullient rage he tore the
mechanism out of his throat, cursed the
man who had saved his life and is
probably running and hoarsely whisper
ing invectives at him still He never
came back.-Dr. George NJ Gould's

PHILADELPHIA BrOil.

In Philadelphia we have what is
known as the Philadelphia broil, -
which, by the way, is not broil at all.
The oysters are cooked after the follow
ing fashion:
Drain the oysters; put the liquor over
the fire; boil and skim it; for each 20
oysters allow a tablespoonful of butter,
which put in saucepan and brown; add
a tablespoonful of Drowned -four; then
add half pint of the oyster LIQUOR,
which has been boiled and SKINNED; stir
the mixture until boiling add half a
teaspoonful Of salt. tablespoonfuls Of
sherry and tablespoonful of paprica.
Turn ell this into double boiler and
add teaspoonful of "Kitchen Bou-
quet. " Have very hot an ordinary cake
griddle; brush it lightly with butter;
throw on a few oysters at time. As
soon as they brown and curl turn and
throw them at once into the saucepan,
and so continue until all the oysters are
broiled. The griddle must be very hot
or the juice of the oyster will prevent
the browning. Household News

this story of his early days: He was en-

Stillie when he ran into fuming old
gentleman who was leaving the estab-
ishment Ehe latter calculated in an
angry tone, Man, can you not look
where you are going" Stevenson apollo
gized for his awkwardness and was
then confronted by Mr.. Stillie, who was
also excited. The bookseller exclaimed:
''The creature has been trying to make
out that an old book / sold him is spu-
rious! He may be able to write, but he
knows nothing about black letter books.
He's the most disagreeable customer
that ever entered my shop" "Who is
he?' asked Stevenson. "Oh, that's the

was on train going out of Louisville,
and there was a pretty girl ahead. who
was of the type that grows into virago

In any event, she had section in the
middle of the car, and this fellow came
in, and after looking the territory over
sat down where he could look into her
face. There was no other person on that
side of the car, and only two old ladies
and myself ON the other He had just
begun to ogle the girl by grinning and
gazing at her when she changed her
place and turned her back on him. In a
few minutes he had taken the seat be-
yond and had begun his operations
again. She stood it some time and
changed her position again. He did the
same, waiting quite little while, so as
not to attract too much attention. She
changed again, and he went to the
smoker. Then stepped over and asked
her if she needed my services in stop
ping the annoyance. She thanked me
and said she would attend to it herself
Pretty soon he came back and sat down
facing her again, with smile as if he
thought ho was having great joke
She changed again, and so did he. This
time l could see her cheeks redden and
could almost hear her eyes snap as she
reached over and opened little hand
bag by her side. She took from it a re.
volver, and as she looked up again she
nodded and smiled as if she wanted him
to come to her But she didn't, though
it looked that way when she got up and
taking a few steps stood il front of him
Then she showed the revolver close to
his face.
There, she said, loud enough for
us all to hear, that's loaded, and if you
look at me again I'll put portion of
its contents into your ugly face.

has undergone"
Mr. Langston said the amount Of in
demnity to be asked would be deter

thorough investigation of and report
on the case by Minister Eustis at Paris
and the consul at Tamatave. AS soon

other gold democrats, and which had
originally decided to take no part in the
