An Attuning Experivrtc* With a Coup** of Slectrieal jjM n B Ip the natural liiafnvy o? tropical South America there are few crea­ tures more curious than tho elec­ trical eels. They are interesting to the stranger because of their power to impart an electrical shook, anfi many nmusing stories arc told of their actions in that respect. Some of the best are related by J. K. War­ ren in his work on “ Para, or Scenes and Adventures on tho Banks of the Amazon.” A friend at whose house we were visiting, writes Sir. Warren, had a small eel of the electric kind which he kept in a tub of water placed in the yard, A thirsty duck in rum­ bling about in search of water chanced to see this vessel, upon the side of which he perched himself and began very inconsiderately to drink. In a moment he received a shock which made all his feathers stand on end and which magnified him to twite his ordinary size. But the duck was more valorous than any one would have supposed, for ho returned to trie attack with such violence that he would have vonn dispatched his slippery enemy nad inn a servant interposeu anu ’ prevented so tragic a termination of the battle. Two incidents as amusing as the foregoing; took plaic on board our vessel while we were on our return voyage to the United States. Among our living curiosities wehad two young electrical eels, which we . kept in a largo tub on deck. ! Wishing one day to change the water, we upset the tub, leaving the. creatures for a few minutes on the dry boards. Having replenish­ ed the vessel with fresh water, we’ requested one of the sailors to put j j them in, As he proceeded to do *eo he received a strange thrill, which caused him to let the fish fall from his hand in a moment. He attempted it again, but with no better success. Infinite was tho consternation of the other sailors, who all tried in turn to put the diabolical fish into the tub, and truly laughable wore their looks of wonderment occasion­ ed by the' mysterious sensations which they had severally experi- encf 1. Xo one, however, was more amazed than the captain’s mate. Being himself wholly unacquainted with the properties of the fish, he was unable to imagine any other , reason the sailors could have for <ir than the difficulty of ■ t - holding such slimy and slippery things in one’s hands. Fortified with this opinion, the mate walked boldly up to the lar­ gest eel and seized it with a power­ ful grasp in order to prevent tho possibility of escape on the part of the fish. He was soon forced to let go his hold and to yell out as lustily as if some one had touched him with a bar of hot iron. After much laughter the captain finally pro­ cured a shovel, and we returned the cels to their native element with­ out any further difficulty. The Meaning of Book*. A good book is the purest es­ sence of a human soul. The good of a book is not the facts that, can be £ot out of it, but the kind of resonance that it awakens in our qwn minds. A book may strike out of U3 a thousand things, may make us know a thousand things that it does not know itself. Every ono able to read a good book becomes a wiser man. He becomes a similar center of light and order and just insight into the things around him. A collection of good books contains all the nobleness and wisdom of the world before us. Every heroic and victorious soul has left his stamp upon it. A collection of hooks is the best of all universities, for the university only teaches how to rojia the book. You must go to the book itself for what is in it.—* Thomas Carlyle. fe ’ • . in, ^Tir . ,t,■„! ■' ■#.. Thoroughly Lord Greenfield, being asked to buy something by a smart young matron who kept a table at a ladies’ fair, said that he wanted what was not for sale—a lock of her ha'ir. Whereupon she promptly cut off the coveted curl' and handed it to him, naming the price—a hundred dollars. Later tho purchaser was. showing his trophy to a little circlo' of friends, / "She rather had you there,” laughed one benedict. “To my cer­ tain knowledge she only paid $3 for the entire bunch.”—Lippineott’s. Lincoln’s Rules For Living. Do not worry, eat three squnm. meals n day, say your prayers,' ho courteous to your creditors, keep your digestion good, steer clear of biliousness, exercise, go slow and go easq Maybe there are other things that your special case re­ quires to make you happy, but, mv friend, these, I reckon, will give you a good lift.—Abraham Lincoln, tWicumallr* tmnn etlev*a | j «s < *nii.p,. r >‘Hi« «*»«ima s* THE ELDER & JOHNSTON CO.
