Bullet Wounds In Stomach.
In some experiments with bul
wounds it was determined that when
a hollow organ, such as the stomach,
is perforated by a bullet it sustains
more damage if it contains fluid than
if empty. The author fired a
bullet at a sheep's stomach, in the one
case when it was full of
in the other case when it was em
with following results: The
in each wall of the empty organ was
0.2 inches; the aperture in the first
wall of the full stomach was also 0.2
inches, but that in the second wall
was 0.7 inches. From this it follows
that a man hit after a full meal would
have less chance of recovery than
had this occurred when the organ was
empty. Bullet wounds of the lung,
provided no large vessels are touched,
are seldom fatal in man or beast

A matron was confiding her domes-
tic troubles to a friend.
“I find,” said she, "that my hus
band has charged someone in his of-
fice with the duty of calling me up
every afternoon to mumble terms of
endearment. That's a pretty way to
treat one's wife, isn't it? He's been
spending his afternoons at the club.”
“How was it,” asked the friend,
“that you didn't at once notice that
it wasn't his voice that called?”
“Well,” explained the aggrieved
wife, “I've been pretty busy with
bridge every day, and I've been hav-
ing the maid answer the telephone.” —

Dead Joke,
There is a station on an English rail
way called “Bury-St.-Edmunds.” Toole,
the actor, who took any pains for a
joke, dressed in deep black, went to
the station master and asked for a
ticket for “the funeral train.” The
station master looked at the little
actor, who was wiping tearful eyes,
and who carried a large wreath.
“Wot funeral, there ain't no funeral,”
the station master sald. “Then it's a
swindle, an imposition,” Toole said,
with flery indignation. “I have come
miles to be at the funeral. Why do
you announce that you are going to
