An Epitaph To A Leg

(The Marquis of Anglesea lost a leg at the battle of \llfaterloo, and when they buried the leg they put over the grave a tombstone with the following epitaph:) Here rests-and let no saucy knave Presume to sneer and laugh, ' To learn that mouldering in the grave Is laid-a British calf.

A leg and foot, to speak more Plain, Rest here of one commanding,. Who though his wits he may retain, ' Lost half his understanding.

And now in England, just as gaY, As in the battle brave, He goes to rout, review, and PlaY, With one foot in the grave. **

Asking For Detailed Bids

They tell about the surgeon who received the following request for quotations:

Dear Doctor: Am in the market for bids on one operation for appendicitis; one, two, or five inch incision, with or without ether, also with or without nurse. If appendix is found to be sound, want quotation to include putting back same and cancelling order. If removed, successful bidder is expected to hold incision open for sixty days, as I expect to be in the market for a gall stone operation at that time, and want to save the additional cutting charge. ***

THE PRESENT MOMENT IS BE.ST

There is no moment like the present. The man who will not execute his resolutions while they are fresh upon him can have no hope for them afterwards. They will be dissipated, lost, and will perish in the hurry and scurry of the world, or sink in the slough of indolence.-Maria Edgeworth.
