An Irish cabman, whose horse had been prescribed for by a veterinary surgeon, ran into the latter’s offices with tears in his eyes and his hand on his stomach, and exclaimed, “ Ach, doctor, I’m kilt, I’m kilt entoirely.” “What’s the matter?” inquired the surgeon. “ It’s the powder, the powder.” “I didn’t tell you to take the powder, you stupid animal. I told you to put it in a tube, put one end of the tube in the horse’s mouth, and blow hardA' “ Yes, sir,” exclaimed Paddy, “ and that is what I did ; but, bad luck to the ould wretch, he blew first, and it’s inside me it is.”
