Saved by n Laugh.

A professional nurse at Leeds, Eng
land, was remarkably successful in the
care of patients suffering from small
pox, diphtheria or pneumonia. In fact,
she had never lost patient with one
of these complaints, Not long ago, how
ever, she had pneumonia case which
was given up by the physician, much
to the nursas chagrin.
''He can't live through the night, 1"
said the doctor.
Sure enough, when the nurse went
to give the sick man his medicine, he
only shook his head. The distracted
nurse saw her proud record about to be
broken and she urged the patient to
take his dose.
"No use, he murmured.
''Well, SIR said the nurse in de-
spair, you've got to take It'll And if
you die I'll kill you /"
Whereupon the patient began to
laugh, took his medicine and got we'll

In capturing gulls the sea lion dis
plays no little skill and cunning. When
in pursuit of gull, it dives deeply un-
der water and swims some distance
from where it disappeared; then, rising
cautiously, it exposes the tip of its nose
along the surface, at the same time
giving it rotary motion. The unwary
bird on the wing, seeing the object
near by, alights to catch it, while the
sea lion at the same moment settles be-
meath the waves, and at one bound
with extended jaws seizes its screaming
prey and instantly devours it.-Scien-
tific American.

CAPE HAYTIEN, Aug. 25.-severe
fighting took place yesterday and
Wednesday in the neighborhood Of
Monte Christi. San Domingo, between
the Government forces and the revolu-
tionists. 1t is said the former lost
heavily, while the latter. owing 10 the

cupied, suffered only slight loss. The
revolutionists are reported TO be con-
tinually receiving reinforcements.
KINGSTON, Aug. 25.-Dominican
mail dispatches just received here de-
clare that instead of the revolution be-
ing invertebrate through lack of organ
ization and activity, the Government Of
San Domingo is really paralyzed, the
revolutionary movement having de-
veloped high organization commanding
popularity and exciting enthusiasm
throughout the republic even in the in
terror and capital Santiago. it is al
legged, is preparing TO declare in favor
of Jiminez. San Domingo alone is loyal,
but even there revolutionary demon
strations have been forcibly repressed,
manifestos of travellers confiScated and
several arrests have been made. The
Government retains no real standing
ground elsewhere.
The movement being national and not
merely political. the people are only
awaiting the arrival Of Jiminez to as
sumo the leadership. when it is believed
that many Of the remaining generals,
with a large proportion of the army,
will join him. The Governments
only reliance is the navy, which is en-
deavoring TO capture Jiminez and thus
break up the revolution.
