She sighed for Pet Names. m
Mrs. Dusenberry (sobbingly)--Oh, its t"
enough to break my heart to hear such cc
language! It's the way with the men, h
however. You used to call me meadow rc
daisy, sweet violet, lily of the valley- h'
Mr. Dusenberry-Oh, yes, I remember it
-you were a whole boquet then! You a'
didn't lecture me every night and make
such a fuss about my going to lodge. I al
called you flower names, didn't I? I now Hl

A Tooth for a Tooth. si
Cincinnati E.nquirer: Mr. James Tru- ti
ett of Ilarris county had a tooth that gave ti
him a .ireat deal of annoyance. lie dis- n
liked to have it pulled, because his mouth o
would be disfigured. On the suggestion ti
of a dentist in this city, he gave another b
man $15 for one of his teeth. DI)r. Chap- t;
pell of La Grange pulled the tooth and
then pulled Mr. Truett's tooth, fitted the
other tooth that he had just drawn in Mr.
Truett's mouth, and in a few days he could
use it just as well as if it had grown there.
lie did not experience the least trouble
with it after it had been trauspldnted.
The Island of Grimsey.
On the map of Ieel:nd may be seen a
speck of an island called Grimsey. It is
the most northern, uand consequently thrn
coldest, of the Iceland group. Eighty
eight people--or more -live on it. They
have tried to keep a few cows, but the
winters are too hird for therm. Two hors
es and a few sheep, with very coarse fleeces
are the only animals of the kind on the is
land. A good minister. Peter Godnmanson,
lives in this remote place. lie is an as
tronomer, and is emyloyed to take obser
vations for the Meteorological Institute at
Copenh:agen. Once or twice a year some
of the islanders visit the mainland, but the
stormy seas, covered with icebergs, make
the passage always dangerous. On one
side of the island, which is a high preci
pice, countiess birds build their nests, and
the collecting of eggs is one chief means
of living for the little settlement. Men
are let down over the face of the rock by
ropes. They wear suits thickly wadded
with feathers to save themselves from be
ing hurt on the sharp rocks. Each man
carries a pole to help himself with and a
ladle for scooping up nests that he cannot
reach with his hands. There is in his frock
a great pocket in which he can put 150
eggs. There he works with the sea roar
ing beneath him. Many accidents occur
and many lives are lost in this business.
A Mad Parson.
"Good-bye for a season, count,' said Rev.
Joe! MIcWhackeri, of Tombstone, shaking
l.ans across the counter in the office of the
Palace y'.sterday.
"Are you off for Arizona':" inquired
Count Smith.
"No, sir; my destination is Carson. I
have been cruelly libeled by the Appeal,
of that place. count, and I'm going up to
see the -ditor. lie has leen slandering
me, sir, and I mean to defend my sacred
character."
"No violence, I hope. parson'?"
"We!!, that depends. I can't say till I
have had a look at the editor, whether it
will be :a igrht or a libel suit. But you can
Let' y~ur life." cried the good man, "that
there will be tufts of fur on the sage brush
for miles around if he is of expedient size.
I didn't lift anvils with my teeth and c:.t::h

The count did as requested, and Mr. Mc
Whacker added:
"It's now 10 years since I shook the
sawdust and returned to the pulpit, but
I've got some muscle left. It is univer
sally admitted in Tombstone that I am a
tough man for my weight and age. The
Appeal has been diging into my past life,
and the nearer I get to Carson the madder
I'll grow. It's my way. I think you may
rely upon there being no libel suit."
And c.xking his Arizona slouch over his
eyes Mr. McWhacker retired from time of
fice, an undeniable swagger taking the
place of the dignified, clerical stalk. which
the c unut has been accustomed to observe
and admire- -S..n Fratncise, Pc't.
