It is related of Dr. Garth, m his last illness, when he saw his fellow-doctors consulting together at his bedside, that he raised his head from his pillow and said, wib^ a smile : ' Dear gentlemen, let me die a natural death.' The great question that now arises is : Can Turkey preserve her ' autonomy V A man may lose his teeth and be snatched bald-headed without fatal consequences', but if he loses his ' autonomy' where is he ? Said a woman speaker m a New Haven suffrage meeting : ' Woman ia m every respect the equal of man. Her reputation for heroic bravery—' at that point a mouse ran into sight, and the orator jumped on the table and screamed. 'Frank.' said an affectionate mother the other day, to a promising boy, 'if you don't Btop smoking and reading bo much you will get so after a while th? t you won't care anything about work/ ' Mother, ' replied the hopeful, leisurely removing a very long cigar, ' I have got so now.'
