Procure about five cents worth each of rubber dam and red rubber. Cut a piece of the red rubber about an inch and a half square In a tiny piece. Put into a small bottle. pour a tesspooufui of chloroform on it and cork It up tightly, in ten minutes it will be moi. ted enough for use. if the hole to be mended is large. take a few stitches in it and cttt a piece of the dam consid. erably larger than the hole. Wet the piece that it to be mended with chic» roi‘ortn. then, as rapidly as possible. put a thick layer of the melted rubber over as large a place as you have cut your dam. You can do this with a small stick. Wet you dam now with chloroform, and stick It on. if the hole is a very bad one. you can put on an- other piece of .the dam and a little more melted rubbed, The rubber lit the bottle will be ready for use again simply by adding chloroform. iNcREDIBLE BRUTALITY.

Th.- othcr day we saw a couple in a sleigh: the alert was muffled up in a heavy fur coat and can while his wife was riding along in a light Jacket. a thin pair of gloves and a "dlnky" lit— tle hat that wouldn't keep the head of a pin warm. yet the male part of the outfit acted as if.ho was half frozen.
