EELS TEN FEET LONG.

stI don't think the average American has much idea of what g real big eel is, said an old fisherman to New York Sun reporter. "When they see one little larger than usual they say it is g serpent. If they saw the congers off the Irish coasts they would have some reason to call them serpents; for, you know, there are no snakes in Ireland. St. Patrick drove them all into the sea, and it is common super stition that they became conger eels. You can't find them anywhere else in the world. Of course they catch eels here, and everywhere, that they call conger, but they are no more like the Irish conger than sprat is like salmon. know it is hard to credit it, but have caught scores of them, each ten feet long, and nearly as thick as mans thigh. They are only to be found in the deepest water, and are fond of lurking under great rocks. They are caught with stout line and hook, and will grab any bait offered to them. But fishermen don't much care to hook them, makes, usually, an unwelcome addition to boaconstrictor. He never attacks man, but if your foot gets into his mouth you must take his head off to get it out again. An Irish fishing crew, however, is no, likely to be long bothered with him. They daze him with blow from boat hook and then cut deep into the back of his neck; but even after that has been done he must be watched, or he will pass quick ly over the side, and back into the sea.
 "Dublin, I suppose, is the best marke for conger eels, and after we had caught , lot of extra big ones we used to run fo l Kingston harbor, and land them on tn, pier. Ladies strolling on the pier oftel nearly tainted at seeing one going straigh at them. It was impossible to persuad
 them that the eel did not intend to attacl them. The fact is congers get stone blint

CONGS NEVER SUNG.
 ssHow does that verse ruh? Something like this

 ,sn't it7
 There are who touch the magic string,
 And noisy fame is proud to win them;
 Alas for those who never sing,
 But die with all their music in them.'"
 ssYes, thai's beautiful, pathetic and true," said your representative. ssThe poet alludes to people who are somehow suppressed, and never get their full allowance of joy and air. Which reminds me of letter shown me the other day by Hscox < Co. f New York, signed by Mir. E. c. Williams, of Chap- man, Snyder Co.,, Pa., prominent business man Of that place. He writes:
 ssI have suffered with asth ma for over forty years and had terrible attack in December and January 1882. I hardly know what prompted me to taKe PAR KER's TONIC. I did so, and the first day tooE four doses. The effect astonshed me. That night slept if nothing was the matter with me, and have ever since have had colds since, but no asthma My breathing is perfect as if had never known that disease. If you know of any one who has asthma tell him in my name that PARKER's ToN- 10 will cure teven after forty years.' There who escaped the fate of those whom the poet la ments.
 This preparation, which has heretofore been known as PARKER's GINGER ToNIc will hereafter be adver- used and sold nnder the name of PARKER's TONIC. Inasmuch as ginger is really an unimporant iDgred- ent and unprincipled dealers constantly deceving their customers by substituting inferior preparations 1 under the name of ginger, we drop the misleading word
 There is no change however, in the preparation it. self and all bottles remaining in thehands of deaers wrapped under the name of PARKERs GINGER TONIC, contain the genuine medicine if the fac-simile sigma ture of HIscox Co. is at the bottom of the outside wrapper

An exchange says Many people sup pose that X in Xmas represents the cross, and wonder that it is not written tmas. The X, however, has nothing to do with the cross. It is the Greek letter Chi, cor responding to oh in our language, and is the initial letter in the Greek name (Chist. os, but we have no type in the Greek alpha bet to reproduce it) of Christ. The two words, Christmas often written Xmas, be- came one word, and this use of the X is al most as old as Christianity itself.

Testimonial of a LadY::

Jan. 10, 1853. MEssRs. LEWIS 6 Co.,,
 Gentlemen:-I have suf- fered with Chills and Fever and Malaria for the past two years, residing during that time at 7so Chapel street, New Haven, Conn. I used quinine in it's various forms, and a great deal of it, While l could prevent the chills.I could not rid my system of the poison. For some time last summer I was so weak that I could sit up but very little. My countenance was swollen, and quinine failed to give me an appetite, or to act perceptibly as a tonic. In this condition I began the use of your Lewis Red Jacket Bitters. Immediately I felt their effects. In two weeks I was nearly in my usual health. I used two bottles since that time. Whenever l have 8 recurrence of mala- rial symptoms I use a few doses of the Bitters, and I certainly consider, them a. most valuable remedy. They are my medicine.
 Respectfully yours,

''That is my name, and l believe L
am a distant cousin by relationship.

the other Cousin Toms pardon, wno-
ever he is; but am very glad he isn't
here. Mary, be just, and don't hate
Cousin Tom because his other name
happens to be La Place"
But no doubt it was very perpleX-
ing thing to have two Cousin Toms;
and so, about six months subsequently,
Miss Mary contrlved to obviate that
inconvenience by allowing one Of them
to assume nearer relationship; and, in
spite of all her asseverations to the con
trary, she is Mrs. Professor La Place

Our Ivories.

During the days of body snatchers,
when graveyards were subjected to
pillage for supplying anatomists with
subjects for dissection, the teeth from
the dead bodies formed frequent
article of sale to dentists. Sometimes
graves were opened for the teeth alone,
as being small and easily concealed
articles. The making of artificial teeth
is trade in which large amount of
ingenuity is displayed, both in the
adoption of new. Substances and in the
mode of shaping and finishing. When
artificial teeth began to be made in
stead of using the natural teeth of
dead persons, they were made Of bone
or, the more costly kind, OF ivory from
the tusks of the elephant, rhinoceros
hippopotamus, walrus or MARSHAL. If
only single tooth were wanted 1t was
customary to cut a piece of bone ia
the proper shape and tie it to the next
tooth by ligature of wire. 1t is still
found that tusk bone possesses the
best combination of properties. II
combines, as learned authority in the
dental world tells US, :" "lightness,
strength and solldity with a natural
appearance and certain congeniality
to the mouth, possessed by no other
material, witch render both partial
pieces and entire sets at once the most
