AMUSING Old Tales.

DR.. Fluid, the Roslcrucian. told of
an Italian nObleman who lost n great
part of his nose in duel. A piece of
flesh cut from the arm Of q slave was
applied, and the italian had again
seemingly natural nose. The slave,
freed, went to Naples, where he died.
and at that instant 6ngrene appeared
on the Italians moss. The part that
belonged to the. dead mans arm was
cut of by the advice Of physicians.
Flesh was taken from his own arm
and applied, He rejoiced in his new
nose until he, too, died. See Edmond
About's ingeniously amusing romance,
1.-THE Nose Of Notary; also Sir
Kenelm Dlgby's discourse Concern
ing Power Of Sympathy" (1880).
