 NIT. Scott. Views of Heaven.
 A glimpse of heaven is n rarc If not un. heard of privilege. yet John A. Scott, n we'll known and reliable old Philadelphian who resides at 2I27 North Seventh stroet, claims to have enjoyed that extraordinary distinction.
 Two years ago Mir Scott was so i'll that the doctors and his family had given up all hope of his recovery. The night on which the grim reaper was expected the old man fell into a trance, and all felt tho end had come. It was during this tenn porary lapse of life that Mir. Scott found himself ascending n grand marble stair way leading to the gates of heaven. Them he found St. Peter and begged to bc ad- mittcd. The venerable gntekecpcr refused, but tho eager supplicant mentioned a number of high church dignitarics with whom he was acquainted on earth and claimed they were particular friends of his. Peter finally admitted him for . short stroll through paradise. Mir. Scott says everything was golden hued and sur passingly beautiful Thcrc were myriads of angels fitting through the air, enjoy ing a siesta on tho glittering highways or disporting in a crystal lake. There was not a man among them. While Mir. Scott was contemplating this startling condition of celestial affairs St. Peter tapped him gently on the shoulder and told him his time was up. Mir. Scott was so charmed with the interior beauty of heaven that he backed slowly away from the gate and fell down to the bottom of the big stairway.
 The next day he was ronvaiesccnt. - Philadelphia Record.

ABOUT every member of the reform committee of seventy in New York wants an office. Not content with this. the committee wants to boss the legislature 50 far AS reform legislation for the city is concerned and direct the policy of Mayor Strong in the government of the city. The reformers are running counter to Boss Pl.tt, aud there will probably be a good deal of fun to onlookers within the next few months E IT, marked contrast with the turbulence and scramble among re- publIcans and reformers is the dignity with which the tammany men are bearing themselves in defeat. Mayor Gilroy has courteously invited Msyor-elect Strong to be with him in the mayors office and at the sessions of the several boards during December. and the great majority of tbe u ads of departments will tender their resi.hations on the first of January. to take effect at the pleasure or the new mayor. Every aId has been offered for thorough investigation. The republicans and reformers will have free run of the lair of the tAmmany tiger immediately after the beginning of the year

KAISER'S SPEECH DRY.

BERLIN, Dec. 6.-The empcror's speech opening the session of the reichstag was unusually dry and unintcrcsting. This was doubtless partly due to the fact that German usage prccludes any reference to the dismissal of Chancellor von Caprivi or to the ministerial changes which proceed from the sovcrcign's will, and parliament can claim no dircct right of control over the way this will is exercised.

A Living Electric Battery.

One of the most wonderful fish that fire.
quents American waters is the torpedo
ray, order raiia, family torpedinid@, a
denizen of the deep, often found on our
eastern coast. especially along that portion
of it extending from South Carolina to
Key West. The electric apparatus or bat
terry of the torpedo is his sole defense, and
those who have come in contact with it
when in good working order say that it is
all sufficient. Naturalists compare the
electric organs of the torpedo to the artifi-
cial voltaic pile. They consist of two series
Of layers, each composed of multitude of
hexagonal cells, the space which inter
venes being filled with jellylike sub
stance, SO that the cells may properly be
compared to Leyden jar.
Each full grown fish carries 4S0 of these
electric batteries, the combined force of
which is equal to the power stored in fif-
teen Leyden jars. In other words, there
are about 1900 square inches of the crea-
ture's body charged with electricity to the
very highest degree. The upper side Of
this animated battery is positive and the
lower negative, the power to use the bat
terry being in full control of the fish.-St.

He Hated to Break the Set.

In a certain village not twenty miles
from Boston it appears there is side
street locally known as Maiden lane. The
name is more realistic than is obvious at
first, coming, as it does, from the fact that
six erstwhile maidens have their homes
there-three on each side of the road. The
one eligible young man of the town found
it place with good deal of attraction.
The only trouble of it was, as the gossips
concurred, the attraction didn't appear
specific enough. Finally, after spending
a couple of winters impartially before the
half dozen firesides, it became plain that
Eunice Maria-she of the end cottage and
the sandy hair-was receiving enough at
tention and Baldwin apples to warrant
suspicion.
Public excitement ran high and ebbed
and ran high again, as months went by.
Nobody knew why the suitor waited, I'M
less, as brother deacon said, because he
was 'natu'lly slow" At last, right in the
face of new conjecture, the announce
ment came that he was going to marry a
young woman in neighboring town. This
was a blow-a blow SO hard that when the
deacon's wife heard of it she put on her
china aster bonnet and went over to the
bridegroom elect to inquire into the sub
ject. Nov, look here, Joshua" she re-
preached him gently, II should Ter thought
yer might Ter suited yourself out Ter six in
Maiden lane" well, did think on t..
| did think on Eunice Maria real ser'us," +"
he admitted, "but truth wuz, just hated
to break the set."-Exchange.
