Once -on a time, in the beginaing of sum-
mer, when I was bossing the road work
and had got on as far as the South Filter-
ing Basin, a thee man in a nice buggy, with
a nice horse, said he wished to speak to
me. (I had seen him before.) .Ile was SO
modest, so unassuming and fascinating
that I felt a kind �f mesmeric charm was
gathering around and taking possession of
me. -He looked lovingly down on me from
his buggy seat and sweetly smiled as. he

I am the inventor of the rod now being hi-
troduded in this section. I need not tell
you that it has a much: greater surface in
proportion to the weight of metal than any
other rod offered for gale. Of the necessity
of protecting our buildings by them it is
unnecessary for me to speak to a
man of your genius, Mr. Spriegle ;
but come" • to the hotel and see
some scientific experiments,' with
which, of course, you, may be familiar, but
still it will be a change from road working.'
By the time we had arrived at the hotel we
w:ere become quite -as familiar as old ac-•
quahitances, for he had let himself down
considerably from his- high position, and
had related some very shallow stories, and
had eveni,gone so far aS to expose a shatter-
• ed shin to my scientific -inspection. -He
said three hundred banes had been removed
from it, whereupon I inquired how many
bones lie supposed 1.vere.left in his body. I
called for. ale, then came cigars from the

AFTER THE FAST.
:
The Scene at the (lose.
niav Yonx; Ana. 7. -At 11 a. m. Dr.
Tanner came dewn from the gallery and
too a a seat in the :centre of the hall, where
on long tables Wee spread all the presents
he aas received "-duce he began his fast.
These consist of innumerable varieties of
food, tonics, slipp .trs and the like: Among
the presents wa-t a box of shingle nails.
Tha doctor app c area in better condition
than at any perk 1 since the sixteeath da'.
He held tightly ts a:splendid peach which
he bit when tha clock struck 12. The
hall was crowded.. and. as the final hour ap- .
pra ached the exiitement became intense. :
Sir ee he began , taking water he took
into his system 1;321-- fluid ounces of water
lost by the kidneys le0ii ounces, and
by the skin and inngs, assuming the usual
Physiological chi= Oges, an equal amount, or a
stbo•A 100 Ilaid oitheea in all. .Yet he gained
bodily 4i pounda'; Calculating the date' of
seven days. A simpler solution of,- the
difficolty is found in the su.pposition that.
the whole thing it -a farce. At 11.15 a drop
of blood . was taken from the doctor for
microscopic exairilhation. by Prof. Vandet-
wsyde in the praletence of a large number
of physicians. - lit. Tannerhimself watched
the work with itit'ense interest. ''Tlas time
is over and I alji glad,' said Dr. Tanner,
as the clock sftriiit. -12. He was escorted
to -the main hall [thd on one of the tables
the faniiliar- et, aria -chair was placed,
into which the victor was lifted. ' The mo-
