Pretty Rig Eela.

On Dutch Neck is Gross pond-said to
be bottomless, but at the deepest place
it is only fifty-six feet deep.
At its outlet one fine morning Chris
topher Waltzgrover discovered an enor-
nous eel. He at first thought it near
relation of some of the snakes he often
found in his boots. The creature was
nearly out of water in shallow spot
He attacked it with a club and the
monster showed fight. After a tussle the
eel was slain. 1t was Al feet long and
dressed 81 pounds. Mr.. Waltzgrover had
eel steaks for long time. The skin
hangs today in the Office of A. R. Reed,
the prominent ship builder. 1t has
shrunk much, but is now eight inches
wide. The head is more than half a
foot long, and the eyeholes are an inch
long.
The largest eel outside of that giant
with which have had a personal ac-
quaintance was one taken from Adams
pond at Boothbay harbor,weighing four
and one-half pounds. When that pond
was drained in order to fit it for reser-
voir the bottom was alive with eels, and
two enterprising young men skinned a
barrel full and shipped them to Boston.
They usually net from eight to ten cents
pound.-G. w. Singer in Lewiston

Professor Lanes Famous Ability.


Among men of letters the most promi-
nent ambidexter is probably Professor
George Martin Lane, pope professor of
Latin in Harvard. 1t is his habit to
stand facing the middle of the black
board. He begins to write a sentence
with his left hand, and runs along until
he reaches point in line with his face.
Then he shifts the chalk from his left
hand to his right, and continues writing
until he reaches the end of the black
board. When calling the roll the stu
dents know by the motion Of the pro-
fessor's hands just the mark he intends
to make.
He writes with his right hand until he
comes to a scholar who answers mot
prepared" The pen is instantly changed
from the right to the left hand. Every
body knows that means goose egg.
Professor Lane is noted for being one of
the finest Greek and Latin scholars in
America. His most famous contribution
to contemporaneou literature, however,
is little out of this line. He is the
author of that piscicnltural epic, "The
Lone Fishball."

However true it may be that the old
English common law regards the price

by who tenders the money, there is no
such ordinance or law here. Often peo-
pie insist on having something from the
window, and decline to accept its exact

an expensive one, we strain the point
and get it down. but if it is something
low priced we give the customer the al
tentative of taking a duplicate or

statuary for the people.

Statues of fine Carrara marble are
choice and elegant additions to any room.
For those whose means do not admit of
such expensive decorations are the plaster
casts of the art stores, which may be pro-
tected by enameling or painted in ivory
tints. Nearly all of the choicest bits of
statuary, such as the Winged Mercury,
the Venus de Milo, and all the well
known figures of ancient gods and god
desses are to be had in plaster, and are
often excellent limitations Of the marbles,
and very gratifying to the lover of artis-
tic forms. With careful usage they will
be ornamental for a long time. Bass
reliefs in plaster, hung against plush,
felt or plain silk panels, are effective and
artistic. New York Ledger.

Practical Shoe Lacinr.

In unlacing shoe with the present
style of hook the wearer must take the
laces entirely away from the hooks be-
fore the shoe can be removed. By new
invention the laces on either side are run
in raised eyelets. To take the shoe off
the wearer simply pulls the top Of the
shoe open without removing the laces
from the hooks. When the shoe is put
on it is securely fastened by pulling the
upper ends of the two laces. The shoe
is laced in q second. With this patent,
it is claimed, lace shoe can be fastened
as quickly as man can put on Con-
gress shoe.-New York Telegram.

HOW PEOPLE SAY cooD-BY.
Observations on the Subject from Trav-

Observations on the subject from Trav-
cling Salesman o. Chicago.
"When Tn on the rcsd," said trav-
cling man at the Sherman house, II
make study of the different manners
in which different people bid their
friends good-by. A business man comes
on the car with his wife, gets a seat for
her, puts her bundles in the rack,
presses her hand, and perchance gives
her matter of fact kiss and is gone,
and the whole has been done so quietly
that no one has taken any notice of it. A
young lady accompanies her young lady
friend to the train. After going from
one end Of the car to the other and
back again they find seat that will
answer The young lady is going up
the road ten miles and will be gone till
the next day. We'll, good-by, ILL.,
says one. Il do hate to say good-by, !,
says the other. Il wish you were going
with me- 'Oh, SO do L. well, good
by 'Good-by.'
''Then they kiss Hope you'll have a
nice trip so do L. Tshall be lone
some till you come back 'Oh, pshawl
What's wrong, dearY I forgot the
novel was going to read on the train.
Too bad, but you can get another
What a pretty dress that lady at the
end Of the car has, i think the stripe
is too narrow We'll, I guess the train
is starting, so good-by.'s Another kiss.
'Good-by.' And thus they go on as long
as the train will wait for them.
''Then there is the lovers good-by. 1t
is very different from any other. In
many good-bys there is much more said
than is meant, but the lovers mean much
more than they say. The ely look that
flashes from eye to eye has whole world
Of meaning in it for them. And the
good-by clasp of their hands telegraphs
whole volumes of affection from heart
to heart. And when they kiss-well,
there isn't a person in the Car but would
like to steal taste of their bliss. And
sometimes there are amusing things
occur in the hurry attending the good
by salutations. A train was on stopped
at an Iowa town one day and an honest
country couple entered the car. Their
appearance and manner indicated that
they were unaccustomed to travelling.
''The wife was provided with seat,
and the husband, who was to be left
alone, went outside and talked through
the open window to her. She was Civ
ing him detailed instructions how to
look after the household during her alb
sence. The engine began blowing off
steam and it was necessary for her to
speak very loud to make her husband
hear. The noise suddenly ceased just
when she was in the middle Of one of her
sentences, but she did not seem to be
aware of it, and the passengers all
smiled as she shouted on the still air,
And don't forget to change your under
clothes every Sunday Idon't know of
anything more mixed with tears and
smiles than are the good-bys spoken at
the railway stations. Chicago Herald.

Japanese Bells.

Bells were in use in China, Japan and
India long before they were known in
Europe. In the space fronting the
temples of Nikko, Japan, there are enor-
nous bells of exquisite purity of sound,
too heavy to be suspended in any tower
which this people build, and SO they are
swung on low frames of stout timber,
the bell being only three or four feet
from the ground.
They are rung by means of battering
rams, made of long joists Of hard wood,
suspended SO as to swing by the united
aid of many human hands. They give
out soft and muffied, though deep and far
reaching, notes. Youths Companion.

What Corundum Is.

Corundum, as the reader probably
knows, is the oxide Of aluminium, the
crude form of the sapphire, and on ac-
count of its hard surface is used to grind
metallic surfaces, particularly tools. II
differs from emery in a greater freedom
from oxide of iron, the latter containing
about 25 per cent. of this impurity,
while corundum contains much smaller
proportion. The larger part of the corun-
dunn wheels in existence are used by
manufacturers of agricultural imple-
ments and of stoves. Springfield (Mass.)

One Bottle That Reached Friends.

It must not be assumed that all bottle
messages found on the various coasts are
due to an evil desire for mystiication.
A bottle found in Drudge bay in No
vember, 1889, contained a message from
an apprentice named Westerley. 1t
stated that the writer was i'll used by
the chief officer of his ship, which was
leaking badly. This bottle paper is the
only information received from that YES
sci since she sailed, and her insurance
money has been paid. Chambers Jour-

A Mistake in Transmitting,

that an estimable lady in Los Angeles
had suddenly lost all her property and
was in a condition Of actual want. He

The Italian Press.

ROME April 1.-The evening papers COM
ment briefly on the Fava incident; their utter
ances are marked by calmness and moderation.
The Optni0ne and OSerUdtore R0mani, simply
publish kilograms received from America The
bdntitLd asks whether Baron Fava could return
to his post If Italy limited her demand for
reparation to payment of indemnity to the rela-
tlves OF the murdered men, adding: This is
the only satisfaction the United States govern
ment is in position TO give
The Italia says: Italians and the citizens of
the United States have the greatest interest in
maintaining friendly relations, and ii will be
best for the two governments TO come to un-
Outstanding as quickly as possible. The posi-
ton of the court of King Humbert during the
Italy and the United States is unpleasant. The
court at present is unduly exposed TO malevolent
attacks owing to the known and much-com-
mented upon Partially OF both the King and
Queen OF Italy for America and for Americans
In fact, some say Queen Margaret's special
favoriteS among the ladies OF the court are
Americans"
In its issue tomorrow morning, the P0p0iO
Romano, the leading organ of the opposition,
will declare that the entire country approves of
the recall OF Baron Faya. and after dwelling
upon the tact of the Italian press in refraining
from hampering diplomatic action, and its dig
nifed attitude in face of the polemics of Ameri-
the solemn rights which one great people owes
to another, we will allow ourselves the satisfac-
ton of sending back American vessels filled
with meat for our markets, and returning to the
Yankee breeders their trichinos meat
The clerical paper, the VOce deLkd VeYitd holds
that the recall of Baron Fava will lead to no
useful result, it being purely platonic protest
due to pressure upon the Italian government
from within meaning the influences of secret
societies.

The Pressure on Di Rudini.

ROME, April 1.-The pressure brought to bear
upon Marquis di Rudini and which compelled
him to act vigorously was fomented by the
ftiends Of Signor CrispL the late premier of
Italy. Especially this pressure was brought to
bear by the Sicilians who more or less were
either dreading or were in sympathy with the
Malta society Their attitude has been stiffenei
by the fact tnat the leading opponents of Signor
Crispi and his cabinet who openly declared the
lynching of the Italians confined in Jail in New
Orle ms on the charge of having been impli-
Gated in the murder of the chief of police of
that city, was just even if it was illegal One
of these opponents OF the Crispi cabinet is
charged with the authorship of the strong edi-
torial published in the FdRtatLEd to-day which
prgues that the Italian government would do
well to suppress crime in Italy before meddling
with the punishment of murderers in New Or
leans. These critics, however, feel the weak
point in the United States case is that br.bed
juries acquitted the assassins I'VE believe
the American contention" said an Italian SEN
ator to q press correspondent, (which is | per-
sonally believe well founded is that the evidence
convicted the men who were acquitted We
are in this unpleasant position: Italy cannot
condemn the lynching without assuming the
guilt and venaliy of the New Orleans court
International courtesy forbids US to assume
that Chief of Police Hennessey's murderers
were tried by venal, corrupt tribunal Such
an assumption would be an insult to the
United States although Americans are quite at
liberty to insult their own tribunal

London Press Comments.

LONDON, April 1.-The SO. James Gazette.
commenting on the recall of Baron Fava saws:
"If Italy is disposed to send her iron-clads to
the Mississippi the Americans have no ships to
face the Lepanto and Duilio for forty minutes.
After the withdrawal of her ambassador the
next thing is declaration of war, and it is evil
IDENTIFY meant to convey to the United States
that Italy is not to be tritied with"
The Star says: The United States are in an
extremely difficult position, though the lynch
ing at New Orleans was justltiable. The with
drawing of Fava is the easiest solution of the
problem"
The Evening Standard referring to the recall
of Baron Fava, remarks that the trouble will
blow over shortly, and the Americans will be
little worse for IL. The agitation will vastly
strengthen the hands of those who are wanting
TO forbid the further landing of emigrants
When they succeed the export of rufti4ns and
paupers from Europe generally will be diverted
to our shores.
The Echo is of the opinion that the recall of
Baron Fava is haSty, inconsiderate step
which Italy is likely to repent taking.
The Globe expresses the opinion that the
United States government at Washington
should receive sharp lesson on the customs of
international diplomacy. 1.-The United States, -
| it says, will have to founder out of the
trouble by some method, but not that of war 1t
will have to learn to amend the weak point in
its foreign relations European states cannot
negotiate with government unable to answer
for Judge Lynch without indefinite preliminary
| inquiry as to his exact rights and status
The Times satirically commenting on the ways
OF American newspapers, which il says proudly
boast of Americas superior interests to the
| outer world, yet in this matter everybody is in
terviewed and there is so much f1utter that the
raciest domestic scandals fail to excite any in.
tereSt The Times thinks the assertion that
Premier di Rudini is playing to the gallery is
correct But" It adds nobody is such an
adept at this sort of thing as Secretary Blaine.
The Times concludes with an expression OF
surprise that King ,Humbert, considering ali
the advantages Italy enjoys in her friendship

What the London Daily Newa SAYS.

Especial to THE Observation-Disclosures Cable
LONDON April 1.-The Daily Ne,Ce in it's
leader to-day says: Eve were all led to believe
that negotiations were proceeding smoothly, as
the American government had already accepted
the principle of honorable reparation and some
curiosity was felt as to the form which
the reparation would take 1t is known the
matter will necessarily be regarded at Wash
1ngton as one primarily concerning the state of
Louieiana. 1t was equally well known the au-
thorltleS at New Orleans would take no action
IN the matter, at any rate no such action as
might be expected to satisfy the Italian govern
ment. Was the federal government to assume
that authority over the state which any other
government would assume as matter OF course
over mere province? 1t was out of the oues-
ton, and being so, it seems to have led to q
complete paralysis of negotiations. 1t is evil
dent Italy is not to be satisfied with ANYTHING
less than the punishment of the perpetrators of
the outrage. She does not ask for an inderp-
nifty, but for the sentence of the criminals. The
courts OF Louisiana might grant compensation
for the families of the victims, but under the
bring the men who killed the Siclians to trial
On this point the negotiations must come to a
deadlock, unless the Italian government can be
induced to abate something of its demand and
take considerably less than its Just due. The
case bears some analogy to our own difficulty in
Newfoundland. That colony will not carry ont
Its obligations towards foreigners and The soy
ere1gn power has been compelled to intervene.
The important difference is that for such pur-
poses there is practically no sovereign power in
the United States"
