The Curious Electric Eel.

The electric eel, which is common In
the streams Of Brazil, is possessed Of
a natural electric battery-a tremen-
dous one. Beneath the skin are two
pairs Of peculiar little bodies passing
longitudinally along the muscles and
near the tail. One pair is next to the
back and the other near the lower fin.
These bodies are made up of great
number of little cells, two or three hun
dred Of them, and plentifully supplied
with nerves. Examination Of one of
these electrical organs has shown that
In action II is very much like gal
vanic battery, with the anterior ex-
tremely positive, the posterior mega
tive and the current only discharged
at the point of contact with an object.
This has been proved to be so power
full when complete that chemical com
pounds are decompOsed by 1t and steel
needles magnetized.

III. Assembly Of Notabls..

The assembly Of the notables at Yer
sailles, Nov. 8, 1873, will ever stand
as one of the great landmarks In hu.
man progress, not on account Of itself,
but in consequence of what 1t led to.
Louis XVI, being in great financial
straits, had already called together the
big men of his realm, but 1t is with
this second meeting Of the great ones
that history will ever be the most pro-
foundly concerned. The "notables,"
made up of the nobility and aristoc-
racy of the realm, listened to their own
voices and displayed their gold lace
and vanity for something over a
month and adjourned without doing
anything either for the king or the peo-
pie. Disguised with the stupidity and
indifference Of the notables, Louis con-
voked the states general, which was
composed OF representatives Of the mo-
bility, clergy and third estate, or plain
people. Maddened by the contemptu-
GUS treatment they received at the
hands of mobiles, the delegates of the
third estate organized themselves into
the national assembly, which in turn
organized the revolution.-New York

John Hrioht and the Carpet.

A characteristic story Of John Bright
is told by Mrs. 7. p. O'Connor in her
book, II Myself" He was at dinner
one night with an NJ. p. whose wife
by no cans shared her husbands
democratic sentiments. John Bright
was sitting near his hostess, and she
was rather annoyed at having him
among her smart guests and thought
to give him a direct snub, so she said
during a pause in the conversation:
"Mr. Bright, this rug, / understand,
was made by you, and am very dis
satisfied with 1t. | have only had 1t
a short time, and It is very shabby and
badly made"
as itf" said Mr.. Bright, getting up
deliberately from the table and taking
a silver candelabrum, which he put
down upon the floor, and, getting upon
his knees, closely examined the car
pet you are quite right" he said,
blithely getting up; at is bad car
pet, and / will order my firm to send
you another in Its place." And then
he calmly resumed his political con-
versation, and the dinner went on.

The Roman Forum.

The Forum was originally market
place and only by degrees became the
center of Roman civic and political
life. About b. G. 47O It became the
place of assembly Of the people in
their tribes and was gradually adorn-
ed with temples and other great pub
lie buildings. The Roman Forum-the
Acropolis at Athens alone excepted
is perhaps the most thrillingly inter
esting spot on earth to such as know
and appreciate the teachings Of his
tory. From the Forum came the au-
gust laws which governed the then
known world for more than a thou
sand years.

One OF the most remarkable sights
In the world is Bird island. in South
Africa, for the reason that during
some months OF the year 1t is literally
covered with gannets. Not a foot Of
ground is to be seen anywhere. Day
after day thousands Of gannets strut
around, and they are so close to each
other that the whole island seems ac-
tually alive. Those who have seen
this sight say that It is one which
can never be forgotten.

While a complete outfit for determin-

by the Babcock test will not cost over
three or four dollars, a very fair Idea

er this test is made the more money

There's many a man In the north
part of the corn belt who has kindly
feeling toward the variety Of corn
known as Bloody Butcher, which was
used considerably in some sections for
replanting fields where the larger va
riety of corn planted at the usual
time did not terminate. In one in
stance which came to our notice some
seed OF this variety was planted on
June 0 and In just sixty-eight days
samples OF Arm dented corn were
picked from the field. While we would
not urge the planting Of It in ATTITUDES
where a larger and more productive
variety would mature well between
spring and fall frosts, yet 1t answers
a good purpose as an emergency va
riety where one needs corn for feed
ing purposes and does not want to
lose the use Of the land.

ing animals which are to be used for
breeding purposes were effectively
shown In the case Of the owner of a
fine herd OF Holstein cows of which
we read the other day. One COW in
the herd which he priced highly had
not responded as she should from the
tuberculln test applied at intervals Of
several months before, and to be fully
satisfied In regard to the matter he
had the COW slaughtered by an as
sistant OF the state veterinarians Of
fee A postmortem examination
showed that the COW was 80 far gone
with tuberculosis that there were tu-
bercular LESSONS all through her vital
organs and muscular tissues and that
no portion of her carcass was At for
food. II was an emphatic demonstra-
ton. convincing not only the owner,
but many neighbOrs and visitors who
were present Next time he will act
sooner than he did in this case and
thus prevent a diseased animal from
injecting other members Of the herd.

There Is no line along which the ami
NAL husbandman makes more serious
mistakes than in his unwillingness to
pay a good round price for the sires
needed, and, while this holds OF sheep
and hogs, It applies with particular
force to dairy and beef cattle. The
old maxim '"The sire Is half the herd"
is nowadays considered an under
rather than an over statement OF the
facts In the case, and, considering this
and the bearing II will have on the
herd, II is sheerest folly and desper-
ately poor management to put up with
anything that walks on four legs just
because such sire can be bought for
