A man went into a furniture room at Mankota, the other day, and sat down on a wooden bottomed chair. He immediately arose and danced and howled like the wildest kind of a Dervish. The proprietor anxiously enquired if he had an attack of any kind. "A tack" yelled the man, "Yes, and the thing was standing on its head too."
