A fow days ajjo, the writer seut an order to one of the leading publiahitiu c<nnpaiiie8 in Toronto accompanied l)y ten cent pieces in payment.

Some time ago I read of a man in Montreal who went to a deutiFt to have a small cavity in a tooth tilled. Tlie dent- ist, being at that time out of dlling mat- erial, took from his pocket a quarter dollar piece, from the rira of which he clipped a small piece of silver to fill the tooth. The man tendered a bill in pay- ment, and in making change the dentist gave the man the quaiter dollar piece from which ho ha«i taken the clipping. Straightway the man bid information against the dentist, producing the coin in evidence, and the dentist was heavily fined, for tendering the ci'in of tho rciim which he had thoughtlessly mutilated. â€" F.
