The eel is very unpopular with many
people; but. like many unpopular
things, he improves with acquaintance.
In form he Is long, slender and grace
full, In color dark green above and
yellowish white below. Many be-
lieve that there are two distinct varie-
ties, the salt and the fresh water eel,
but l am inclined to think that, like
all other fishes, the eel partakes much
OF the nature of his surroundings. A
long summer vacation In pond or
brook renders him darker in color. and
daily feasting on landlocked delieacies
renders him more corpulent.
Just SO Goldfish take on the color of
their habitat, gray when on muddy
bottom, bright red when living among
kelps and gay colored marine plants.
l believe, too, that the eel often for
gets to return to salt water, but never
breeds elsewhere. for l have never
seen baby eels In brooks or ponds.
have known them to be taken every
month In the year In the same loeali-
ties. Some say that half the cells spend
the winter In fresh water, coming
down In the spring, and that the other
half 60 up for the summer.

British Barristers, WIGS.

The wigs worn In English courts were
formerly made of human hair, and II
Is on record that the white hair of a
woman who lived to be 108 years old
was sold for that purpose for ESQ. In
1927 the old form OF powdered wig
which was somewhat Of nuisance be.
cause the powder came on and the hair
frequently required recurling-was su-
perseded by the horsehair wig.
Only about 100 of these legal orna-
ments are made annually. A good ar
ticle will last for quarter Of a cen
tury, and, moreover. barristers do not
altogether appreciate new wigs, as they
suggest that the wearer Is new to the
business and consequently has not had
much experience.
The cost varies from to IL guineas.
The former price purchases an ordi-
nary article, while the latter Is the sum
paid for what Is known as "full bot
toned" wig. which Is usually worn by
the leading barristers on the occasion
OF a great trial. 1t Ii also the kind
which adorns the head of the speaker
OF the house Of commons.
Most OF the horsehair Is imported,
but the home product ls the best and is
that used In the costliest wigs.-Lon-

Old ChurchyarAs.

1t would appear that certainly so
early as about A. d. $50 spaces Of
ground adjoining churches were inclos.
ed and consecrated for burial. and by a
canon of the ninth century every grave
was to be esteemed sacred, to be adorn-
ed with the sign OF the cross and to be
preserved from trespass and violation
by dogs and cattle. Many churchyards
have a history far older than the
churches which stand In them, being
originally places appropriated to reli.
gious assemblies, divine service being
performed there, until at length the
church was added for greater honor
and convenience.
1t has been noted as curious fact
that In a large majority Of cases the
churchyards are on the north side Of
the church and on the north side Of
the road leading to them. There is a
superstition among many old fash.
ioned folk that the north side Of the
churchyard IL less sacred than the
rest Of the consecrated ground. ITO
be buried there" wrote Durandus, the
great fourteenth century ecclesiastic.

The Rnglishman Caught On.
An Epglishman on his first visH TO
this city with his family strolled down
Broadway alone one night and dropped
into q music hall. He had hardly been
seated before two sketch artists perpe-
trated the following:
Persihage-Hear about Jones? Terri
BILE thing happened to Jones.
Badinage-No.
Persihage-Yes. He dropped $50 feet.
Badinage-You don't tell me? OF

Persinage-No, not killed. They were

A half hour later the Briton grasped
his sides and startled the house with
IN outburst Of cachinatory ecstasy. Re-
covering, he jumped up, hurried out of
the music hall and soon reached his ho-
tel. He stopped outside the door of his
room and gave way again to soul stir
ring laugh. Entering the room he I'M

The practical Joke is remnant of
barbarism. Hunted back to its origin,
1t is q survival of the methods of tor
ture In vogue with savages the world
over. The Idea behind every practical
joke is the infiiction of pain, shame,
fear or ridicule upon the victim. 1t Is
not often that tragic effects follow a
Joke, repeating the news chronicles Of
the daily press, but when one reflects
that the real object of every alleged
"joke" of the practical kind is simply
to inhict physical or mental pain upon
some one 1t seems as il 1t must be time
by the clock Of the ages. for the prac-
tice to end, at least among civilized
and half civilized people. - Ada G.

Fact. sure" said tire skipper Me
an Mr.. Dalton had bit of II run down
to Elm last Tuesday. Tight bit Of
weather coming home. too."
Thomas Dalton. do you mean that
you were down here In last Tuesdays
gale and never told? And you let us
think you had been detained In Bos-
ton on business"
"Got II straight from Doyle" quoth
Tom.
The Cobbs were on the beach to well
come them. Master Harry had hauled
his pots that morning and there would
be lobster chowder for dinner ct 2
o'clock. Would they try . dip at the
short beach By the runway between
Elm and Elm, Jr.i They would-that
IL, the young people would, and Mrs.
Hart would watch the sport from the
beach.
Once In the water, Mary's spirits
seemed bubbling over and she was
soon daring Dalton to try q race to q
dory moored q short distance from the
beach. He seemed reluctant at first.
and was sure it was too near the cur
rent Of the runway, but to take dare
from Mary and have her taunt him
with a lack Of courage was too much
for young man Of his temperament.
She was wading toward the boat,
and when but a few strokes from 1t,
called back iaughingly: "Will you
swim for 1t, Tom! II you reach It
first, I'll be your prize, SIR"
He was striking out after her as soon
as the words had left her lips.
She had nearly reached the dOry and,
confident Of winning the race, put her
hand up to catch the gunwale, missed
1t aud suddenly discovered she was out
Of depth and In the runway current.
"Tom" she cried, and then all Tom
saw was a pair Of frightened upturned
eyes and a terror stricken face rs she
swept under the surface.
A fine predicament for q lover who
was not a brave man and who had
barely learned to swim! Drawing a
deep breath, blind to all danger and
with no thought but to save her or die
with her, Tom struck out into the cur
rent and under the surface.
His heart thumped wildly as he felt
a mass of that sun gold hair come Into
his grasp. and In moment more they
rose to the surface. Through his salt
dimmed eyes Tom saw bit Of rope
and grasped 1t. They had come up un.
der the stern Of the dory. which had
swung into the current with them, aud
he was now firmly gripping a bit Of
painter which hung over the stern.
In few minutes more he had lifted
her over the side, clambered In after
and was chatting her hands briskly.
Mrs. Hart's cries from the beach had
brought the Cobbs to the scene. and
Master Harry was running dory down
the beach to the rescue.
1t had all happened In very few
minutes. Mary opened her eyes, smiled
and said, "You needn't rub all the skin
OF my hands, SIR"
"Thank God! She is all right" said
Tom fervently. =
..Tom, dear, you reached the dOry
first. Kiss me, sir! You won!'
And then Master Harry's boat grated
alongside.

President McKinley's Inspiration

President Mckinley's Inspiration
Mrs. G. w. Fairbanks, in Success.
Mrs. Mckinley, wife Of the twen-
ty-eighth President of the United
States, will pass down in history as
an ideal woman. Her kindliness
and graciousness will be remembered
when the more important events Of
President McKinley's administra-
ton are forgotten. The admins
tration of President Madison was
famous as much from the part play
ed by his beautiful and accomplish
ed wife, as for the statesmanly acts
which are recorded to his credit.
Mrs. Mckinley is the idol of the
people because she is woman and
wife whose virtues are homely and
domestic. The inspiration which
she has ever been to her distinguish
ed husband, and his unquestioned
recognition of the debt, are two fac
tors in their lives which stand out in
bright relief.
