Conditions Reversed.

One of the finest examples of paw
ky" humOr is placed to the credit Of
an old gardener who was in the serv-
ice OF Admiral of the Fleet Sir Alex
Rnder Milne. The admiral was a
grand old man, full of goodness and
kindness, but a strict disciplinarian
The gardener having omitted to do
something which he had been told to
do, hts master said to him:
when / was on board ship l would
have had you put in irons for disobe-
dience"
The old gardener was not much per
turbed at the idea, but, leaning on his
spade, replied:

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 I'm.
These bodies are made up OF a 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 It Is very much like a gal
vanic battery, with the anterior ex-
remely 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
ful when complete that chemical COM
pounds are decomposed by it and steel
needles magnetixed.

French Official Red Tape.

Two men went to Nice lately from
Italy to attend a funeral and took
with them a wreath Of flowers to
which was fastened silk ribbon bear
Ing an inscription. They were in
formed at their destination that they
would have to pay a duty equivalent
to $25. The mOurners protested, say
ing that the wreath was made Of nat
ural flowers on which there was no
duty, bat they were informed that the
dutiable part was the silk and that,
according to the tarif laws, duty must
be collected on the gross weight OF
the memorial emblem. Then the men
agreed TO throw the ribbon away, but
this could not be done ON French soil,
and 30 they tourneyed back to the
frontier, where they disposed Of the
ribbon, boarded a train for Nice with
the ribbonless wreath and arrived too
late for the funeral.

How 10 Eat Leather,

The Infamous Captain Morgan and
his piratical crew were sometimes in
tight places at Panama and on one
occasion were reduced to eating their
leathern bags. Some persona" says
one OF the company, Exquemelin
whose narrative is reproduced In ''The
Buccaneers In the West Indies'C, ''whO
never were out of their mothers' kitch-
ems may ask how these pirates could
eat, swallow and digest these pieces
Of leather, 30 hard and dry. Unto
whom only answer: That could they
once experiment what hunger, or. rath-
er. famine is, they would certainly And
the manner by their own necessity, as
the pirates did. For these first took
the leather and sliced it in pieces. Then
did they. beat 1t between two stones
and rub it. often dipping it in the wa
ter of the. river, to render it by these
means supple and tender. Lastly, they
scraped off the hair and roasted or
broiled it upon the fire. And being
thus cooked they cut it into small NOR
sells and ate it, helping it down with
frequent gulps Of water, wei by
good fortune they had right at hand"

John arlah. and the Carpet.

A characteristic story of John Bright
is told by Mrs. T. 2. O'Connor in her
book, Il Myself" He was at dinner
one night with an NJ. z. whose wife
by no means 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 pause in the conversation:
"Mr. Bright this rug. l understand,
was made by you, and l am very dis
satisfied with It. l have only had it
a short time, and it is very shabby and
badly made"
ais ft?" 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; 1T is a 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.

John Wesley married a widow, Mrs.
