Telephones and Talking Fish.

That the telephone would eventually
prove a source not only of great graft
fication but of valuable instruction no.
body ever doubted. 1t has, however,
remained for some thoughtful scientific
gentlemen to utilize it in q way which
will commend itself to all who lovingly
observe nature. One of these, anxious
to know how far the animal world as
simulated itself to our own, lately intro
duced telephone into some water
which contained a fish. To his aston
ishment he found that the creature,
alone and unable to converse with any
thing else, was actually talking to itself.
Mr.. s. E. Peal now comes forward, and,
in letter to scientific contemporary,
confirms this assertion. He, too, has
been listening, and he finds that the
large " Mahsir" Mdcrocephdlus
converse with a peculiar cluck" or
persuasive sound, which may be heard
as far as forty feet from the water. He
has also discovered that large bivalve
exists in some parts of Eastern Assam
which actually =" sings loudly in con-
cert" After this it would be interest
ing to know what it is that the pike
says to the roach before swallowing it.
If we are expert enough to read ciphers
surely we might without great difficulty
learn the language of the jack.-London

How Families Endure in Vermont.

Some two years ago a physician in
town was called to visit patient living
out of the village. He drove out, and
as he was hitching his horse the door
opened and a young woman with a
child in her arms came out. They
greeted each other, and she said, Z" o,
you are the doctor come to see grand
mother. She's pretty sick. You'll find
her in the house." He went in and
found a woman about forty, who said,
{" You will find grandmother in that
way" In the room to which he was
directed he found an aged, white-haired
lady lying on the bed. She was quite
deaf, and did not notice his approach
until he sat down and began to feel her
pulse. She turned and said, 90, you
are the doctor. am not sick. 1t is
mother you want to see. You will find
her in the next room" So into the
next room he passed, and at last was
in the presence of his patient whose
daughter, granddaughter, great-grand-
daughter and Observation-Disclosures
er he had encountered. He found her
SO reduced by disease and old age-she
was ninety-seven years old-that he saw
no chance of her living more than a
week. He told the family so, but at
their request he left medicines and di-
rections. Some three weeks after he
was driving by and saw an old ady
picking up chips. He pulled up his
horse, intending to ask when his pa
tient had died, when she looked up and
said: 80, you are the doctor who came
to see me when was so sick" She
is still living as clipper an old lady
of ninety-nine as YOU will often see."-

Mad.StOnes.

The superstition in regard to mad
stones is well-rooted in the popular i'm
agination, and has the right to be. It
is very ancient. Pliny gives its history,
for it was old even in his day, and it
has hardly shown any diminution
since. The men recently bitten by a
dog supposed to be rabid in this city
have been anxious to get at q mad
stone. One of them has gone to India
for the purpose, and others would be
glad to do so if they had the means.
Now, it is as capable Of demonstration
as anything can be that no stone.
mad" or otherwise, can have power
to heal in genuine case OF rabies.
Poison cannot be extracted from the
system by such simple means. But it
NAV well be that belief in the efficacy
of the remedy accomplishes the cure.
The imagination often plays an impor-
tant part in causing or preventing dis
ease, as DIR. William Hammond has
lately shown; and there is no reason in
the nature of things why. an imaginary
case of hydrophobia should not be re-
lieved by the application of imaginary
remedies. 1t is an odd fact that stones
taken from the stomachs of deer, are
supposed to be especially powerful in
extracting poisons, and were so in an
cient times, though it is difficult to
conceive why this beast in preference
to any other, should be opposed to
poison.-N. Y. Herald.

London Living.

England is one vast show town. Ev-
erything is on exhibition at from q six
pence to a shilling. If one desires to
visit the shrines, either of royalty or
literature, he must weep tears, silver
tears, in every instance. Shakespeare 8
grave, a sixpence; Shakespeare chair,
shilling; dead Kings and Queens, one
shilling; jewels of live one, two
shillings, and SO on. Your correspond
ent has been sweating sixpences and
shillings ever since landing on the soil,
and is likely to till he leaves it; but,
after all, there is nothing like what is
to be seen here in all the world, and if
the charges could only be put into one
grand total the traveller would think it
cheap. 1t is the petty annoyance of
drawing the purse at every turn, and
the constant demand for fee that, like
a nail in the shoe, keeps one in irrita-
ton. For instance, at the theater, the
American, accustomed to pay for his
seat aud have the whole paying business
over, is put quite out of conceit before
the performance begins by the little an
noyances to which he is subjected. He
pays 10s., $3.50, for his seat in advance,
say on the morning of the performance,
and must pay an extra for " booking"
When he arrives at the theater he finds
his ladies must remove their bonnets.
These are to be stored in the cloak
room, Cd. each; then programme, i'd.
each; and fee for the commissaire who
closes his cab door as he drives away.
As six-pence is twelve cents. all tins
amounts to very pretty sum before he
gets through his amusement (D, espe-
cially if his party is of any considerable
size; but then it has always been the
custom, and it is probable it always
will be. What was good enough for
their great-grandfather is quite good
enough for the present generation."-

A comely young maiden, fresh from
the shores of Old England, arrived in
this city on her way West to join her
brother, who lives in small town in
Ohio. When she arrived here she con-
cluded to stop over one train and visit
her cousin, who is employed at the
coke ovens on Mount Washington,
After the greetings were exchanged she
went to the depot and found that she
had missed the train. As she was
stranger in the city she determined to
return to her Cousins boarding
and await the next train. She again
assembled the mountain, and while on
her way she passed around the corner
of stable and stumbled against a stall
wart puddler, who is likewise German,
and bears the name of Latherbaugh,
and who was coming from the oppo-
site direction. He apologized for the
accident, and being struck with the
English maiden's appearance, stopped
for a moment. Then q conversation
was had, which ended by Latherbaugh
accompanying her to her cousins
house. In half an hour after they had
reached the boarding-house they were
betrothed. The happy German imme-
diately started out in quest of minis
ter, and in a few moments the silken
knot of matrimony was tightly tied

Married With Rifle In Hand.

The news of the curious sequel of q
love affair has just reached us from
Port Townsend. A certain young man
fell in love with beautiful young lady
residing near Port Townsend. His pas
sion being reciprocated, marriage was
proposed, but the young lady's parents
would have none of it. The father and
a belligerent uncle threatened to do the
young Romeo" serious personal in
jury in case his attentions were contin-
ued, and forbade him ever again enter
ing the premises, and the young lady
is represented as having been bitterly
prosecuted on account of her refusal to
discountenance the discarded suitor.
The young man becoming aware of this
fact, determined to marry at once. Ac-
cordingly, procuring a license and the
services of the necessarily constituted
authority, and withal q good Winches-
ter rifle, he repaired to the abode of the
young woman's parents. Encounter
ing the father and the irate uncle in the
yard, he bade them "hands off," de-
claring that they had threatened to do
him personal injury, and that in the
eyes of the law he would be justified in
doing serious execution with his rifle
in case they attempted to execute it,
and right there, before the gaze of the
two astonished belligerents, with one
eye fixed on them, the other on the fair
one by his side, and with one hand
clutching his rifle, and the other grasp
ing that of his affianced, the nuptial
knot was tied, and the happy couple
departed.-PortLand (OregonJ Bee.
