A I'KUFb CT OUIlh

A rorit ribiitor tells an exchange how be was permanently cured of tits. He wiiH ritliriK In the mining district of N'evudu—ono of those mushroom growths common in the territories—when night came upon him. Tired and hungry,he drew u[i nt a greasy, dirty shanty which was culled a tavern, and Bought accommodation. He thus details nltt

Iftbl'tt x|wrlence. The J'UKi.'ord could only give me a room with a bed «*How.

Very well, I don of*f«y,"iiiid i, an he led tho way by the light of a miserable tallow dip, which ho left with me to light me to bed.

I mirvnyed the r«m, mi particularly my bed lellow. He was a inild baiking man, 1 thought—perhaps a ot)iN4-|eader in some primitive log olmrt-h near by. His repose waa ao 4|uiet and chibf-liko that I thought we Would aloep |xmirufiilly together for the night but before I had blown out the light he o|xmed a snore that seemed like a cross between filing a aaw and sawliiu a board, and my feelings at •lice became dicioua toward him.

I blew out the light and turned In, and still the snore continued. The moon had now rl*en, making every object in the room visible. 1 punched mv friend, and as he opened his eyes with a snap he said

Hv jingo! how vou scared me, Mis ter I osi going to sleep hereto-night?" ..

Yt.H

"Well, I'm mighty glad of It, I alwa\» like comp »ny. It's kinder lonesome to sleep alone."

Yen, It IH a«i. I'urdon tne for waking von. but 1 (hoaght it my dnty to toll \it that I som"tlmoft take tits." -k '1 What, lita! Yon don't say so, Mister r'

Yes, I do. I'm not particularly dangerous, hut I bite sometimes so be cfliclui that 1 don't get my teeth into you."

Well, I'll be doggoned I hope yoa won't have any tits." HO ill! I,"

I hope, Mlsier, you wou't bite me, \on do have any O, I hope Hot.'' 11H drew a long breath and then •aid

Well, I'm afraid I won't sleep any to-night." "O, don't loan any sleep." lltu how am I to know when you are going to have tits?" "0, I groin and Ureal he hard, and foam at the in-uiih and, when you hear me AMP IIIV teeth like A dog, then you'd letier look out."

Well, I'm blamed If I ain't sorrv. Mister, you win# in here. I'm alrulu you'll he more company than I want." "O, don't lie uneuay I sometimes do not have any for month*. lyt's go to sleep and I pretended to drop olf into pea't'ful slumber.

My «ompauion mlled and tumbled uiHuiNily lor noiuu time, then dropjted off Into a restless aloep, and soon i*ommeneed that old anon* just where he loft off when 1 woke him up. That de«id(Hl me upon havinu tit, and with a ftvHul snof. «nd a horrible groaning, I set my nails into hla arm, and my •teeth into his shoulder, Just hard enough to nip nicely, but it wsia enough

for

the purps«. with a terrible yell he sprang from the bed, and went flying down alair* exclaiming:

O dear, he's got fits, he's got fltai He's bit a ptew out of my shoulder!" The lamlloitl, with a crowd trom the bar-r«om, eame hurrying up, and found mejtist recovering from the etTbcta of the tit, and giving me a hot toddy from hla own private Untie, he left me. He oarried with him the clothing of my heri-fellow, who had turned in on a hjankct down stairs, resolved to be bitten no more by men having fita.

It was delicious to have the whole bed to myself, and I luxuriated in it by •tretching niywlf entirely aero** it. 1 had son dropi«ed Into a jeaveful slumber Innocent a* uiy childhood, when I was aroused by some one roughly •haking my shoulder, and Haying:

nothing bad happened. The next morning I went down late to breakfast, and all crowded around to see the man who had fits, and to tell me that my borne had been stolen. The mild-looking man, my first bedfelloWj had gone off with him.

A "SETTING" HEN.

That ben lately took a notion to set. We opposed the enterprise, bat still »he kept on setting. We expostulated with her we argued the question we demonstrated the disadvantages attendant uppn incubating at this inclement season of the year. We proved that to knit stockings for infant chickens has already been considered a tedious job, but still she set and sat and itoL Finding moral suasion useless with that strong minded old hen, we tried force, we heaved rocks at her, and the moment a rock would come near her, she would book her bill behind it and roll it under and chuck in a manner most contented and exasperating. Then we piled lumps of coal in her nest. She climbed on top of the coal spread herself out and looked like a speckled umbrella over a deaayed bay stack, and still she set, sat, sot and sotted. We next resorted to stratagem. We removed the coal, made a nice cosy uest, and placed therein a hr.t full of nice round chunks of Ice. We called her in our blandest manner, explained to her that we were sorry for having been so rude to ber, and that she might sot as long as she wanted to that is, us long as she could tind it agreable. She clucked her thanks and proceeded to extend herself all over ice. We watched her closely. Pretty soon she stood up and drew up one loot to warm it then fh put down that and drew up the other then she looked down to see

she could discover the cause

ot the extraordinary low degree of temperature prevailing in the nest then she sat down. In a few moments she resumed ber former manoeuvers, and then she Hew up on the roost and cackled, pretending that she had laid an egg. It is needless to add that the hen hua abandoned the idea of setting any more this winter.—[Ottawa (111.) Free Trader.

The tachytypograph, or rapid tyjpewriter, is an invention which is being patented by Mr. J. S. Davis, of Haverforfltvest,^ oepf»lsis of a machine for* obtaining verbatim reports of speeches, debates, sermons, Ac., lO tJ}P ordinary Knglish characters. It will Ih* generally applicable to all purposes where rapid writing or printing is desired, and is intended particularly to supersede short-hand for reporting purposes it is manipulated by means of an ordinary key-board, and can be mado of a convenient size lor portability and uso in public assemblies. One alphabet of type is used, one type or character is affixed in a sock«t at one end of each twenty-six levers. These "type-levers" are actuated by a series of "key-levers." When any "key" is depressed, the corresponding type-lev-ers brings down aud imprints its tjrpe or character on a roll ot paper which passes directly over the ''printingpoint," and thus legible impression is produced on the paper, either by an endless band of carbonised or transfer passing round both wheels outside the paper over It at the "printing-point," or a strip of silk stretched clirecrfy above the "printing-point," at a distance of a quarter-inch above tho paper, and suspended on two rollers saturated with suitable ink, and rocelvlng motion from the paper-carrylug apparatus.—[Machanics* Magazine.

A WKAK bulfeter of the ways of sorrow, who kept a boarding-houso in London, lately hung herself because her husband had scolded her lor speaking to the lodgers in the bouse. Her farewell missive to him was: "Dear Jim—You have driven me to do this little nffalr. He good to the dog, and ask Mrs. Little to be kind to the birds."
