been introducing at Albany a bill prohibiting all disposition of human bodies except by burial. Knowing the material of which the present legislature is composed, nothing can surprise us, but this special Smith must be even more so, as it were, than the others.

Go back to your ash cart, Senator Smith, to your saloon, your tonsorial palace or whatever you ran for a living before you went to Albany, and try not to mortify us. Perhaps the safest way will be for you to consult some educated adult before exposing yourself again.

As good an instance of surgical wit as can be found is still told about the staff of the Roosevelt Hospital. A dangerous operation was being performed upon a woman. Old Dr. A., a quaint German, full of kindly wit and professional enthusiasm, had several younger doctors with him. One of them was administering the ether. He became so interested in the old doctor's work that he withdrew the cone from the patient's nostrils, and she half roused and rose to a sitting posture, looking with wild-eyed amazement over the surroundings. It was a critical period, and Dr. A. did not want to be interrupted. "Lay down dere, voman," he commanded, gruffly. "You hat more curiosity as a medical student." She lay down, and the operation went on.-Exchange.

PRESIDENT PLYMPTON told a good story of General Butler at the banquet at Young's the other night. It seems that directly after the battle of Chickamauga, a "Johnny" went about the streets of New Orleans accosting every man who wore the blue with "Didn't Stonewall Jackson give you h-1 at Chickamauga ?" General Butler cailed the exultant rebel before him, and told him he could either take the oath of allegiance or go to Ship Island for two years. Johnny deliberated, but finally agreed to take the oath. When he had sworn to support the constitution, he turned to General Butler and exclaimed: "Now we are both loyal citizens, ain't we, General ?" "Well, I trust so," said General Butler.

'Then," said Johnny, "I want to ask you if Stonewall Jackson didn't give us h-1 at Chickamauga ?"-Boston Record.

"THIS, then, Miss Grassneck," said the young man as he started for the door, "is your final decision ?" "It is, Mr. Wicklugge," said the young girl, firmly. "Then," he replied, his voice betraying an unnatural calmness, "there is but one more thing to add "

"What is that?" she asked, toying absently with the lobe of her shell-like ear.
