Getting Their Attention.

pr. J. Bond Littig. senior professor of the New York College of Dentistry, has original and decidedly clever views as to how to catch and hold the attention of the Gotham collegian, says the New York World.
 There is no use trying to overawe the p-to-d date New York youth" he re- marked the other day. Such tactics may or may not succeed with students in rural colleges, but young Manhattan Ia a law unto himself Many a pro- lessor has gone down to failure be- cause he didn't or wouldn't understand this.
 .I remember a particularly restive class of embryo students to whom l was Iecturing not long ago. It was diffcult to catch their attention, and as the lecture was important I decided on A rather peculiar apreal. I stopped inc discourse for the moment and said:
 "Gentlemen. am not perhaps as vounR as I once was. When I have nassed away you will regret that you did not pay closer attention to my words. Years hence you will pass q grave. Above it will be my name. And on the headstone will be engraved the following consistently dental epitaph composed by myself:
 stranger, draw nigh and gaze with fit
 ting gravity;
 Within is Littig, filling his last cavity
 T had no trouble. for the rest of the lecture, in engaging the classs atten- ton.

On n Southern Railroad.

Marshall P Wilder. at a dinner in St. Louis. was telling railroad stories.
 One bright afternoon I was riding on a Southern trip" he said. Tt was full of sunshine and dust. and the air that swept through the open door was warm and gritty and unrefreshing. Ev- cry one was uncomfortable. and a little boy who sat in front of me had his head poked out of the window all the time in search of coolness. Now and then, with some loud remark. he drew in his head, all coated with dust and soot. and made a few white streaks over its dark surface by daubing 1t with a handkerchief
 The boys remarks were amusing and we all fell into the habit of wait ing for them. In the heat and dust and alarinR sunshine they seemed to afford us little relief.
 The train after a time struck ser pentine stretch of track and began to rock from side to side. Now we were hurled to the right. now we were flung violently to the left. On we went with this crazy, rocking motion. and in the distance a tunnel appeared. As, al- ways swaying violently. we drew near the tunnel the boy in front drew in his dust grimed head quickly. and in wild excitement shouted:
 By George! I believe we'll miss the hole!
