Of a joke. Recently he wrote to busi-
ness house in Boston, with whom he is on
terms of intimacy, as follows: Il will
send you the finest butter next week you
ever saw. The first lot will weigh about
sixty pounds. Will divide the proceeds of
sale with you.' Encouraged by the liber-
al terms of the offer, the firm advertised
extensively that they We're prepared to fill
orders for dairymen and produce mer-
chants for the finest butter ever sent to
market. At the appointed time the con-
telegraphed up to Mr.. Atkinson, and re-
ceived the reply that the butter would be
down by the first train the next morning.
The butter arrived as promised, but in the
form of the most ferociOus goat of enor-
nous size, who was no sooner liberated
from the crate than lie commcnceda 4 career

into the corner. and butted three of his
ribs out; the Junior partner took refuge
on the top of some balls of wool. but the
goat jumped after him and butted him of
on to the floor. and prodded him with his
horns until he was insensible. After knock

A Divers Adventure With a Devil
Fish.

Mr.. Smale had fired off charge of dynamite
and displaced large quantity of stones at the
bottom OF the river. He went down TO prepare
for lifting these stones by the aid Of chains
into the punt: While engaged in rolling over
large stone he saw something which he sup
posed at the time was piece of clean looking
kelp moving about in front of where he was
working. In few seconds this object came
In contact with the divers arm, about which it
quickly coiled, partly holding him. Immedi-
alely Mr. .Smale touched what was coiled round
his arm he became aware of his position aud
tried to extlicate himself, but found it a mo.
difficult job than he anticipated. Catching hold
OF the part hanging from the arm, he walked
toward the end of II, when he saw he was firm
~ held by one of the feelerS of a large octopus
better known among sailors as the deyi! tiSh.
MI. Smale tried TO pull the fish OFF from its
hold oil the rocks but without effect fer some
time At last the fish, perhaps thinking he had
not got sufficient hold or power over his prey,
:opsened itself from the stones and quickly
tranSlerI ed its IeelerS, or arms around the
divers legs and body. In this position Mr.
81 ale thought the best thing for him TO do
was 10 get on deck as soon as possible, and he
quickly made tracks for the ladder which
reaches from the deck of the punt to the bot
tom OF the river. The diver was certainly A

embrace. However, MIR. Smale's fellow-wOrk-

The Electric Light I'm Paris,

Mr.. Z. e.. Fulton writes to the Baltimore
american that the introduction of the electric
light Is becoming SO general in Paris that il
now attracts very little attention. The pro-
prletors OF hotels, restaurants, theatres and
even stores, are erecting electric candles in
front OF their establishments, aud there are
quite number on the steps and around the
Madeline. All the public gardens and squares
nave dozen or more lights, and the Place de
IOpera literally blazeS with them, making the
gaS.Jets look like farthing candles. The Arch
OF Triumph has twenty electric candles around
II, and wherever il was introduced by the
authorities to add brilliancy to the great illu-
mlnatlon it remains rs a permanent fllumin-
atIng process. In nearly all the great central
places OF Paris electricity Is gradually super
Sedlng gas. and wherever il Is extensively
used gas lights are eXtinguiShed. Whether II
will ever be used for indoor lighting is very
doubtful, as ii is too glarng hight when very
close to ii, though it is shaded out of doors
with large and heavy frosted shades. For rail
road stations and all central public places il is
supersedlng gas, but it requires motive power
near at hand to the candles to keep I'D a
steady current of electricity. There are quite
a mum Der of electrical Illuminating instru-
ments in the Exposition, but we have not had
time yet to examine them They blaze away
at all hours of the day, but of course do not
show to advantage in daylight They throw
out such an intense heat that such a light
would probably be too oppressive indoors in
summer time.
