His Leg.

Recently a man had a leg amputated in a Washington hospital* and, upon visiting the capital some months afterward, discovered the member preserv ed in alcohol. He was shocked, and demanded it that he might bury it. The demand was refused,but upon bringing suit in replevin the case was decided in his favor, and he was given possession of his own leg. A theatrical adyertisment in an old London newspaper reads thus: “This night will be enacted Shakespeare’s powerfulle tragedie ‘Henry the Eighths. ’ During the tragedie the candles will be snuffed betwen the acts.” ■ W -iMan is always popping at woman with the blowgun of his sarcasm,, but it comes her innings when she gets the bonnet and he is alone with the bill. A coucu of the lighest down may support a heart as heavy as home-made bread. , > . ' i——»*t~‘
