A DOCTOR S ANNOYING EXPERIENCE.

One dark, foggy night there was a knock at the door of the physician in Sheffield. Who's there ? Oh, doctor, make haste. My wife is dangerously ill. The doctor uttered & suppressed growl of impatience, for the village to which he was summoned was about six miles out oJ town. He ordered out his carriage, and the two drove on through the damp, cold night. Just before they reached the village in question the husband of the sick womar. alighted on some pretext or other, but did not return ; and after driving into the village the doctor found nobody whe needed his assistance. A week later he received a note, without signature, explaining the mystery — Dear Doctor, — I am exceedingly ob liged for you giving me a lift in youi carriage, for I found it impossible to procure another conveyance, and it was s dreadful night. I hope you will forgive me this once.

Do you give gaa here ? asked a "wild looking man who rushed into a dentist s establishment yesterday morning. "We do, replied the dentist. Does it put a fellow to sleep ? It does. Bound asleep, so you can't wake him up? Yes. You could break his jaw or goggle hit eyes out and he wouldn't feel it. He would know nothing of it. How long dooa it make him staj asleep. The physical insensibility produced bj inhaling the gas lasts a minute, or probably a little less. I guess that's long enough. Get it all ready for a fellow to take. Yes. Take a seat in this chair and shon me your tooth. Tooth nothing, said the excited caller, beginning rapidly to remove his coat aD d vest. I want you to pull a porous plas^ei off my back.
