HE CHANGED CARRIAGES.
A touchy, impecunious doctor was travelling third class when a labourer got into! the compartment at a wayside station; and started smoking his pipo. The tobacco was strong, and the smoke got into tho medical gentleman's eyes,, nose, and throat. At longth he could stand it no longer, so, touching the "son of toil" on tho shoulder, he quietly remarked, "You will pardon me, but I am a medical man, and my twpnty years' experience has taught me that all. tho bad cases of cancer of tho tongue come from smoking bad tobacco." ;
"WelL" said the labourer, removing his pipe, and looking straight into tho eyes of the doctor, "my forty y.ears' experience has taught me that all the bad cases of black eyes and broken noses come from interfering with other people's business."
