The d.M (. : experieno tients, wh. . , covered 1 ...i ,'ullier a rouh two of his pa i. y had fully re jects of the pas, .y unpleasant for him. One of the patients, a stalwart man, measuring over six feet in height and weighing about 200 pounds, gave Hie doctor a good trouncing. It ap pears that the man had two teeth drawn while under the inlluenco of the tpus and when semi-conscious ni(ui0 ;i sudden attack upon the doctor. The latter grabbed the man about the body and told him that the teeth were out and to keep .piiet. While in the act of drawing away from the patient the U-tor v;us struck either on the nose or xdiind the ear. The patient then sprang out of the chair and struck the doctor about the face, knockinghim senseless totlic Moor, and began kicking him. A lady as sistant stood by powerless. The ilen dist's wife, who was in an adjoining room, heard the noise, ran into the op erating room and caught hold of the patient's -oat and tried to drag him away from her husband. The wife was struck in the neck twice by the patient. The latter, after coming to his senses, commenced to apologize, and otfered to pay lor all the damage done. Dr. Ransley, a neighboring physician, was summoned, and upon arriving at the dentist's he found that the hitter's nose was broken, both eyes discolored, and he had several bruises on the head and body. Dr. Smith, in speaking of the affair, said: 'I have just come from the har ness maker's, w here I have arranged for a series of straps to be placed on the chair so that a patient will be ren dered powerless in ease lie becomes un ruly while under the inthience of the gas. The patient that attacked me was evidently dreaming about lighting, and on account of seeing my face last before taking the gas, and seeing me only while semi conscious, he thought I was the aggressor and immediately began to pitch into me. "The patient, when conscious, offered to pay for all the damage he had done, but as the damage amounted to break ing my nose and giving me a pair of black eyes I could not appraise the value. About two weeks ago a patient, while under the inthience of gas. im agined he was in a tight and made a dive for his back pocket. I caught his arms and held him while my lady assistant extracted a revolver from his pocket." Philadelphia Ledger. f Clmi'tiH (itrU' Cri'iilii'mriiN. "It is not an easy task to get good chorus girls," said an operatic manager yesterday. ''( if course there are plenty of girls such as they are ambitious to shine as lyiv' stars. Something more than ambition, however, is necessirv. One of the reipiisiies is a pretty face, another a comely ligiire. and another, of course, is musical ability. It is not an easy job to train thirty or forty girls, who are unfamiliar with the comic opera stage. Pour weeks are required to drill them tolerably well, and then they will need frequent rehearsing alter beginning their public performances. A director must have Job's proverbial patience to teach a lot of jabbering, untamed chorus girls how to sing and march in harmony. "The salaries of chorus girls range from ti n to twenty dollars a week, ul though lifteen dollars is about the av erage. The male members of a chorus get a little more than girls. Some of the smaller road opera companies pl.iv throughout the year, and they arc boons to a large idass of girlsand young men who would otherwise be idle dur ing the summer. Summer opera snaps, though, are becoming the proper thing. "Several companies are formed in !Nev York for a ten or twelve weeks' engagement every spring. The salaries of the summer companies are consider ably less than those- in the regular sea son, however." New York Telegram. 1h'h of Hit; rujiiiw Tri'r. In th( West Indies one of the char acteristics of an intelligent cook., is. the care with which he or she will see to it that a papa w tree is growing within a short distance of the kitchen door. The fruit of the pnpaw, if large and well grown, is not to be despised as a break fast dish, and its rich golden llesh is to many much more palatable than that of tin ponnfir i!!lon. Put the at tractiveness of the p paw for the cook consists in its leaves, which possess the remarkable property of rendering meat tender. The toughest beefsteak or the most hopeless old rooster can be made soft and comparatively juicy by being wrapped for an hour or two in the large, dark green pa paw leaves. New York Commercial Advertiser. The Loss In Handling fiolil. By careful experiments made at the United States mint it has been shown that 5 are lost by abrasion every time $1,000,000 in gold coin are handled. The experiments were conducted with bags containing $5,000 each, and it was shown that the mere lifting of the 200 bags making up 1,000,000 to a truck to be removed to another vault result--ed in the loss stated, and that their transfer from the truck again made a gecond similar loss.
