"On Monday evening an employee of the ---- Railway Loco. Department
dislocated his jaw while yawning."--_Local Paper._

It is expected that the company will disclaim liability for the accident,
on the ground that he was yawning in his own time.

NEW RHYMES FOR OLD CHILDREN.

THE CENTIPEDE.

The centipede is not quite nice;
He lives in idleness and vice;
He has a hundred legs;
He also has a hundred wives,
And each of these, if she survives,
Has just a hundred eggs;
And that's the reason if you pick
Up any boulder, stone or brick
You nearly always find
A swarm of centipedes concealed;
They scatter far across the field,
But _one_ remains behind.
And you may reckon then, my son,
