How 1t scared Away nm Eel Which II
Had Failed to Dislodge by Force.
Lying up close against the end of an
overhanging stone ON the bottom of one
of the tanks at the aquarium, says the
New York Sun, was an eel abont IS
inches in length. About six or eight
inches of the cells tail projected clear
of the stone. Swimming. about in the
same tank there was sbergali about
six inches in length, which presently
took notion that it would like to lie
In there snug against the rock and the
overhanging projection, and it came up
Mt the tail end Of the eel and tried to
wedge itself in between the eel and the
rock; that is, to crowd the eel away
and take its place.
But the bergall couldn't 90 that;
there Is good deal Of strength in an
eel, and this eel held it's place firmly.
The bergall hauled off little distance
and headed for the point where the rock
and the side of the eel met, and made
for it under full steam, but with the
same result; it couldn't bulge the eel,
which still clung closely to the rock.
Then the bergall backed of again and
tried a change of tactics.
The cells head was around on the
other side of the rock, where it couldn't
see what was going on at the rear. The
bergall backed off and darted for the
cells tail and nipped it as hard as it
could bite. The eel started as though
it had been struck by lightning, and
slid around the end of the rock and off
to the other end of the tank, cutting in
the water as it went letter SIS of IA

Harvard Youth Manners.
A Chicago young man in Cambridge
found recently that lie could not make
fun of the women's colleges with i'm
punlty In his letters to his sister, re-
ports the Chroniele of that city, !, he had
spoken of her college as an incubator
several times and said he wondered
when the chicks would hatch and if
they would take postgraduate in q
brooder.ss His sister didn't care much
for that sort of thing, from brother,
who was only freshman himself, albeit
a Harvard freshman, nor did the other
Bryn Mnwr girls, to whom she repeated
his remarks.
On the day OF the receipt of letter
from him saying he was coming down
to inspect the apparatus" the mem
bers of his sisters class held meeting
in her room. On his arrival, two days
later, he was ushered with some cere-
mony into the reccption-room.
After waiting 20 minutes girl came
in hurriedly. looked fairly at him and
said "Oh!" Then she left abruptly. In
five minutes q second girl rushed in.
saying "Oh!" turned round and walked
out. Five minutes later third girl did
likewise, and in another five minutes it
happened again. This continued for
Just one hour, when all OF the 20 girls
that had said "Oh!" together with
about as many moro, all strangers,
came In in body, said "Oh!" and fled
out.
Then the freshman's sister came in,
by which time the youth was ready to
collapse, and asked him how he liked
the chicks, and II he didn't think they
could peep prettily, after which she in
vited him to spread in her room with
the chicks. where they demonstrated
they could pick up crumbs as well as
peep.
