A Great Eel Pond:

On the farm of James y. Wells, on
what is called Country Road" in the
town of riverheal, Long Island, is the
greatest eel preserve ever seen inland.
The pond covers fivea acres. Two years
ago Mr.. Wells put into the pond two
thousand dozen eels, with no intention
of disturbing them for five years. They
have increased wonderfully, millions
being in the pond, and it is thought
that there will be quadrillions before
Mr.. Wells gets ready to market them,
and that he has fortune in them. The
eels are fed regularly every three days
on what is known as ''horse feet, sea
product, with meat inside shell, which
takes the shape of horses hoof, and
il is doubles from that that it derives
the name. The eels seem to know that
they are TO be fed, for when Mr.. Wells
beats upon the side of his wagon with
the butt end of his whip, they swarmed
toward him. Any other person may
beat and bang for hours without caus-
ing the slightest commotion among
them. Hundreds of people 90 to see
them fed. Mr.. Wells to satisfy the
visitors curiosity, will hold horse foot
in the water for minute or two, and
then withdraw it with numerous eels
clinging to the contents of the shell.
The largest eel ever taken from the
pond in this way weighed five and three
quarter pounds, but they are 1t Is
thought still larger ones. They con-
sumo $50 horse feet in three days. 1t
would seem impossible to furnish so
many, but the number does not begin
to detail the extent of the catch. Mil
lions OF them are annually fed to swine
and poultry, and some men make bus
iness of catching them. On June 10th,
after storm, Captain Downs, with a
trap of his own invention. caught 900
" feet" and between the 10Th of June
and April his aggregate catch was
49, 900.

The House-Wren.

The little house-wren is a bird of
wide distribution, but we know him
best in the woods of the far West,
whether in the cottonwOods of the river
valleys, or the aspens just below the
timber line on the lofty mountains. He
is everywhere the same quick, saucy
little fellow, and in the spring and
summer an incessanta and voluble singer.
We have never heard him TO greater
advantage than once upon time when,
under a burning sun, we had crossed
an arid desert in the western part of
Nevada. After a days tedious march
over sands shimmering with heat, and
without a vestige of verdure in sight
for long weary hours, we came suddenly
to the green valley of the Truckee River,
and were soon reclining on the velvety
sward beneath the refreshing shade of
grove of grand old cottonwoods. The
songs of birds greeted us on every hand,
for almost the entire feathered popula-
of the country were attracted to the
narrow valley of the river by the cool,
shady retreats afforded them; and of all
the voices we heard, the merry and in
cessant gabbling of the little wrens
pleased us most The little singers
were ever busy creeping about the huge
rough lower branches; now peeking
into knot-hole, now pecking spider
from a crevice in the bark, and every
few minutes halting in large fork,
where, with head raised and throat
swelled and vibrating, they poured
forth sprightly, gabbling warble. The
song of. this wren is pleasing chiefly
from its cheerfulness and volubility,
and the amusingly dictatorial manner
In which il il delivered.

Talking "A Hole in n Board.

At the Smithsonian Institute the
other day Edison saw a phonautograph
machine used for delineating graphi-
cally the form of the sound waves, and
examining it curiously a moment he re-
marked to a friend:
"Wise men, these were, not to see
that they could put hard point and a
piece of tinfoil in front of it and there
was the phonograph."
He was asked by a Southern Senator
if he could invent machine to pick
cotton, and replied that he "thought
so." Later on the same day a person
watching the operations of the phono-
graph said:
edison, l wonder if you couldn't
talk hole through a board?"
ssOf course 1 could, was the reply;
and he took q slip of paper and rapidly
stratched the point of the phonograph
in connection with a small ratchet
wheel, W hich in its turn by proper cogs
connected with gimlet. Thus every
vibration of the membrane of the phono-
graph, instead of propelling the point
against the tinfoil, would point the
ratchet wheel forward and run the gim-
let, and man would actually be able
to talk hole through pine board.

Hints for sleeping.

Grown persons generally require
seven hours sleep in Summer and eight
in Winter; few, indeed, except invalids
will fail to sleep well who go to bed at
a regular early hour, on light supper,
in large room, and clean, comfortable
bed, if there is no sleeping in the day
time, and not more than seven hours in
any twenty-four are passed in bed. One
weeks faithful trial will prove this.
Children and all persons at school or
engaged in hard study, should take all
the sleep they can get, and should
never be walked up in the morning
after having gone to bed at regular
hour. Every humane parent will make
it religious duty to arrange that
every child shall go to bed in an affec-
tionate, loving and glad spirit. If wake
full during the night, get up and draw
on the stockings, throw back the bed
cover to air it, walk with the mouth
closed, all the while rubbing the skin
briskly with both hands until cooled off
and little tired. Except from August
first to October first, in fever and ague
localities, chamber window should be
open two or three inches at least.

Glass N0king at PutSJug.-Pittsburg
has " glass factories, covering an
aggregate area of 200 acres. Twenty
two OF these establishment are devoted
exclusively 10 the manufacture OF win
dow glass, the remaining fifty TO bottle
glass, table ware, lamp chimneys, and
so on. The work of some of the best of
the window glass factories is considered
equal TO any foreign product. Fully
1000 persons are engaged in this branch
of glass industry, and the annual
product is not less than 500 ,0O0fifty foot
boxes a year. The wages now paid to
first class men range from 800 TO S130 a
month. Second class men get s65. In
the making of bottle glass, from half
drachp vial TO a twelve gallon carboy,
American manufacturers claim to beat
the best foreign products, with the ex-
ception Of one particular style of wine
bottle, in which Germany excels. In
the manufacture of fruit jars, represen-
ted by ten factories in Pittsburg, the
American article is far superior TO the
European. There are no plate glass
factories in Pittsburg, though they have
been successfully established in Indiana
and Missouri. The Indiana factory is
turning out as good an article as the
French, and the machinery used was
made in Pittsburg. As yet no cut glass
worthy the name is made in Pittsburg,
the art of cutting not being well under
stood. and the demand for this quality
of glassware not being sufficient to war
rant the importation of skilled and
artistic labor from Europe. The
moulded table ware is good and cheap,
so that considerable quantity is ex-
ported.

Jefferson's Ten Rules.

We seldvm repent of having eaten too
little.
Never spend your money before you
have it.
Take things always by the smooth
handle.
Pride costs more than hunger. thirst,
and cold.
Nothing is troublesome that we do
willingly.
Never put off till tomorrow what you
can do to-day.
Never trouble another for what you
can do yourself.
Never buy what you don't want be-
cause it is cheap.
How much pain the evils have cost
us that never have happened.
When angry, count ten before you
speak; if very angry, count a hundred.

If engaged, he wears it on the second

ond finger
If married, she wears her wedding
ring upon the third finger.

a Honey Bee Ship.-A floating bee
house has been constructed by Mr..
Perriue, a Chicago honey dealer, large
enough to accommodate two thousand
hives, which he is having towed up the
Mississippi river from Louisiana to
Minnesota, keeping pace with the
blossoming of the flowers, and thus
stimulating the honey making ability of
his bees. Returning, he will stop about
two mon tbs somewhere above st. Louis
and will reach Louisiana in October.
He wants TO take advantage of the
autumnal flowers at each point, just as
he does of the spring flowers up the
river. The plan of moving the bees to
get the benefit of fresh flowers has been
tried in small way in some parts of
Europe. 1t is possible that honey bee
ships might adyantageously be sent out
in winter TO the West India islands to
cruise for honey after the manner above
manner.
