PERHAps A NAruRAL MIsrAKE.
Physician Had Reason TO Think He
Had Lost His Patient.

Henry Grimm, who was formerly
one Of the prominent members Of the
German-AmeTican society, tells a story
about a German friend of his who
was taken ILL.,
For many days the German was
close to death, but after a time he
showed improvement IN condition.
The doctor told the Germans wife
that her husband might have any
thing to eat that he liked.
The German expressed desire for
Limburger cheese, and the wife, being
a generous woman and pleased at the
improvement, and in order that her
husband might have nibble at any
time he had a taste for it, put some
cheese in every room in the house.
1t is easy to imagine the aroma.
The next morning the doctor called
at the house, and as soon as he opened
the door he asked.
when did he die ?"-Hartford Post.

Honey seekerls Marrow Escape.

Rarely has a human being been in
a more painful predicament than that
in which young man named
Trunkett found himself recently.
While robbing a bee hive which was
built in the fork Of tree 40 feet
from the ground in Wangaretta, Aus
tralia Trunkett, who was minus his
hat, coat and boots, was completely
smothered by the enraged insects. For
ten minutes he remained thus unable
TO help himself, until some friends
saw his plight and by means OF ropes
hoisted up to him a bag.
With this the unhappy victim beat
some Of the insects of, and then, wrap
ping It around his head, slid down the
rope to the ground, where he tainted.
For half an hour he remained uncon.
scious, during which time his friends,
by vigorously rubbing whisky into his
skin, succeeded in drawing most Of
the poison from his stings. which
amounted to several hundreds.-syd.

This gradual failure Of sight

much more satisfactory If the right
Starch were used In order to get the
desired stiffness, 1t is usually neces-
sary to use so much starch that the
beauty and iineness Of the fabric Is
hidden behind a paste Of varying
thickness, which not only destroys the
appearance, but also affects the wear

A landlord In the Highlands Of Scot.

him ten shillings a year as rent for
the little farm. At the end OF the
second year the tenant came to the
landlord and said that he was not
able to pay more than five shillings a
year, as crops had been poor. The
landlord agreed to this.
At the end OF the third year the
tenant appeared before the landlord
again and complained that things
were going SO poorly with him that
he was not able to pay any rent. The
landlord agreed to let him remain
rent free. AT the end OF the fourth
year the tenant once more appeared
before the landlord, and said:
