An amusing sight was witnessed one
cay during the past week in one Of the
Agar stores ncr far from South Main
street In the store there is sma 4
electric battery, many Of which are
scattered in various parts Of the city.
As you drop cent in the slot you take
hold of the handles ana are given Il
taste of electricity. An old fellow.
from Prospect comes regularly once Il
week, goes to this cigar store and re-
ceives a shock--but he does not take
1t through his hands. Instead, there Is
O large rocking chair which he sits in
and then it is tipped. His shoes aud
stockings having been removed he
places his feet on the handles and re-
ceives the shock through his feet. For
long time he has been doing this and
he says it does him world Of good.

seems that the last four to arrive were
cousins Of the first callers, two
from Hartford and two from
New York. When they arrived in
Meriden and found that the two whom
they wished to see had journey
ed to Waterbury, they quickly decided
to visit this city also. The married
couple had full house the rest Of the
