Barbarous Grammar.

The writer of a book of travels, telling of the insect pests encountered iu British Guiana, makes a statement of which the best that can be said is, that it is probably not so bad as it sounds. “One lady that I knew', whilst busy at her toilet, felt something crawling on her shoulder. She screamed and called her husband, and he had just time to knock the centipede off before biting her in the neck.”
