The Indy and the Teeth.

Il was called one day to certain
hotel to gre chloroform to a young
woman who was about to undergo a
slight surgical operation to remove a
morbid growth in the ear said ply
stefan. 1.-The patient, as it developed
on my arrival, had been married only a
few days before and was in the city
with her husband on their bridal tour.
Although quite handsome, she was no
longer exactly Ia her first youth, and
she was very much averse to having
her husband present at the operation.
However, he insisted, and she finally
agreed that he should stay, but I no
ticed that she seemed very nervous and
preoccupied.
The operation, as said before, was
trifing. She took the chloroform easily
and all went well until she was just
regaining consciousness, when she
opened her mouth, and out fell set of
false teeth. She had said nothing about
that detail, and the truth was that she
had hoped, poor woman, to pass
through the ordeal without the fact of
her wearing such things being known
to her husband.
"But the effect on that individual
was entirely unexpected. He gave one

SOLDIERS in BATTLE.
The Peculiar Way Some Men Ac
When They Are Nounded

The Peculiar Way Some Men Act
When They Are Wounded.
If you take a dozen soldiers as like
each other as peas so far as height.
weight, strength, age, courage and
general appearance go and wound them
all in precisely the same way, you will
find that scarcely any two Of them are
affected alike.
One man on receiving bullet in his
leg will go on fighting as if nothing
had happened. He does not know, in
fact, that he now contains a bullet
But perhaps in two or three minutes
he will grow faint and fall.
Another man, without feeling the
slightest pain, will tremble all over
totter and fall at once, even though
the wound is really very slight.
A third will cry out in way to
brighten his comrades and will forget
everything in his agony. A fourth will
grow stupid and look like an idiot.
Some soldiers wounded in the slight
est manner will have to be carried of
the field. Others, although perhaps
fatally injured, can easily walk to the
ambulance. Many die quickly from
the shock to the nervous system.
A very curious case is recorded II
the surgical history Of the American
civil war, in which three officers were
hit just at the same time. One had
his leg from the knee down carried
away. but he rode ten miles to the
hospital. Another lost his little finger
and he became raving maniac, while
a third was shot through the body
and, though he did not shed drop OF
blood externally, he dropped dead from
the shock.-New York Telegram.
