Worth Knowing —A correspondent of the ' Bendigo Advertiser' gives the following plan as a certain cue for toothache, as proved by his own experience on the recommendation of a well-known dentist: Blow tobacco smoke into the ear of the sufferer iroin toothache. The operation is performed in this way —make a small tube of paper ; insert it in the ear to the bottom; then put the stem of the pipe in the tube; put a handkerchief over the mouth of the pipe, and blow the smoke back through the stem into the ear; two or three stiff blows are sufficient to effect a cure. The patient will feel a little giddy for a few m'nutes, and that is all. I have cured a good few lately, both men and women. For the sake of the latter more especially i crave the insertion of this communication, and that many sufferers may be relieved is my earnest desire. A disconsolate widower in Delaware, after much reflection, evolved the following epitaph for his wife's tombstone : " Thou hast gone before me So thy last and long sleep ; Tears cannot restore thee, Therefore I weep."
