Oases have been reported from Georgia, Alabama, Texas, South Car>lina and North Carolina.

The ases are mostly acute and the morality is high. "If," savs Dr. ljav.indcr, "the 3ause of pellagra is accepted as n 3i<>t. of spoiled nvaize, the American liaize orop must within recent years jia.ve undergone a decided change in ionic respect," for maize has always been very extensively used as food [n the Southern United Stales and K pellagra h;;s not appeared in former i He properly remarks ttlliut t'his eon^L,Unuos to edvance.

A London urchin ran into a baker | shop and, placing a half-penny on the counter, asked nervously and timorously: "Mister, 'ave you a 'alf-ponny buster (bun?")

" 'Cos* sir, I'm only a littlo 'un, and if those chaps outside know I've a buster they'll take it, and T am so 'ungry, I am." "Dear me; how wrong of them! Come around here, my little chap. There?there, it is down your back." The boy ran oiY. In an instant audi her entered?a bigger boy. "I say, mister, 'as a little boy just been in 'ere?'' '' Yes.''
