A DANGEROUS POSITION.
“Don't lay in that postur, dear,” said Mrs. Partington
to Ike, who was stretched upon a settle, with his heels
a foot or two higher than his head. “Don't lay so; raise
yourself up, and put this pillow under you. I knew a
young man once who had a suggestion of the brain in
consequence of laying so — his brains all run down into
his head!” and with this admonition she left him, to
practise, soon after, the hazardous experiment of tying
his legs in a bow knot round his neck, as he had seen
Professor Baldwin do.
