A Bad Lung Tester.— "We don't want a Lancashire witch for a lung tester. At a singing school up there the other night a young man was bragging about the strength of his lungs, and invited a young girl in the compaany to hit him in the breast. She said she was left-handed, had been washing that day, and was tired, and didn't feel very active, but at his earnest request she let go at him When his friends went to pick him up he said he thought he would die easier lying diwn. He had lost all recollection of having any lungs, but the young woman consoled him J) by admitting that she didn't hit him as hard as she might have done, because she rather liked him. — American Paper.
