in nature as can well be imagined
When seen through a magnifying glass
it is found to be composed of three
sharp blades folded into one with
their cutting edges outward and run
ming down to one fine point When
the fly inserts this up to the hilt in its
victim the three blades fly apart, and
then it is seen that each inner edge Is
a beautiful saw, worked by six sep

drawn the instrument rips its way out
with a gush of blood. But now comes
the most curious provision of all. II

Preferred to Be a Quack.

quack at a fair near Paris was
driving roaring trade selling nos
trums, drawing teeth and beguiling
the crowd in the usual ways, says the
British Medical Journal The letter
of the French law against unqualified
practice Is very strong, though owing
to the Indifference of the magistrates
it is not strictly carried out. This,
however was particularly fragrant
case, and the police felt compelled to
intervene. The quack was therefore
accosted by the guardians of the law,
taken to a tent at the back of his
stand and requested to show his dipIo-
ma. To the stupefaction of the gend
armes he exhibited a perfectly au-
thentc degree of doctor of medicine
