when lie aroHe at eaeli meeting, i
with bowed head uttered the fa-nil

tho back part of the room, was in
ieking his father, to the intense aim
meat of a few unruly boys who w
bis companions.
'I'>111 ('handler was a bad boy. Th
was no denying that. Tom's mot
was the last one to admit it, but o
she was forced to own sorrowfully t
"Thomas was a little wild." Dou<
Chandler in his own family laid do
the strictest rules, and they were ft
fully followed by all except theeldc
'?"?Tom was incorrigible. He chafed
dor tho home restraint, and his mi
nil wihlness found vent in vari
petty misdemeanors, which soon v
for him a bad name in his native
luge. In vain his mother besoii
him to mend his ways; in vain
father placed him under closer
straiut and visited upon him more il
penalties. It was no avail.*
One night Deacon Chandler ontoi
liis home with a stern look on his f

"Well?" came in insolent tones fi

The stern notes of the father r
in tho mother's ear like a dcalhkiic
"Von may as well confess."
"There iH no need if you have foi

"Perhaps you would like me to t

Mrs. ('handler looked hurriedly
at her son.
"Oh, Tom, it isn't so? Say it if
so," she implored.
Hut ho was silent. Then tho dote
coin imit'd :
"I Hlmll settle to save your broth

D'Atiinis-on, in his work on the

Several anecdotes of the extraordinary
powers of tho falcon and length and

(T purposes,' said a veterinary
fenrgeort connected with the 8. P.
C. A. the other <lay.
"If a horse has a chronic! lameness
in either foot the trainer can inject
into the foot n solution of cocaine,
which for the time l>eing will render
the horse sound?that is, it will dull
the sensibility to pain for more than
li?lf an Knur to nn linn# an.1 ? inn! I
the horse will net as if he wan sound.
'Another method iu a case like thin
in to sever the nerros of the foot, there
being two nerves, one on each side of
tho foot. Thin deprives the lower part
of the limb of all sensation, and the
horse will go sound for perhaps a year,
when tho nerves will form together
again.
"Tho leopard may not bo able to
change his soots, but a good trainer
can take an^tiimal and make him a
home or an A tier color. He will uee
nitrate of ^Hver (peroxide of hydrogen)
to blc^ki different parts of tho
body HOMff make tliein match. Suppose
you hail a team of sorrels; one
had a silver oiane and tail and tho
other had not. Tho trainer would
bleach the mane and tail of tho latter.
If a star was wanted in tho forehead
lie could put it there or produce for
you a white nose, one or more white
logs, bleaching them so as to make them
match. If a horse's tail is not big
enough or symmetrical he can switch
in some false tail, just as the ladies do
with their hair.
"A horse will show his age by tho
hollownesH over his eyes. In such a
case the trainer will introduce a.little
tube, and, by blowing in air, will
eatiHO tho hollows to puft'up, and if tho
chest or shoulder of a horse is astrophied?what
is known as sweeney of
the shoulder ?he will introduce a little
tube and blow up the skin. This condition
in a horse can always be detected
by pulling tho Hkin, which will
crackle under the touch ; it will not
have t^WolTd tcclrttg of desh.

naturally have what isknownas 'cups,'
excavations, marked black, which disappear
when they become older, being
worn off. Tlio trainer, to mislead
those who aro interested in the horse,
will art ificially excavate or cut out the
surplus of the teeth aud blacken thcin
with nitrate of silver. This can alwnys
be detected in a 'bishoped
mouth,'as it is called, by the absence
of the ring of enamel around this black
cup, it being always present in young
horses.
"The shape of a horse's teeth from
yontli to age is oval, then triangular,
thou flattened on the sides, the latter
beiug tho shape of the tooth itself.
The root is very narrow, and as tho
tooth wears off it assumes that shape.
"Bui there are tricks especially connected
with tho races. In a running
race supposo a trainer wants his liorso
to lose. To inialead tho publio ho will
hire a good jpekey and just before tho
animal goes to tho post he will give
him a pailful of wator. This, of course,
causes tho horse, before he goes very
far, to feel troubled about his wind,
and, in jockey parlance, he is called 'a
dead horse.' The jockov is not supposed
to know anything about this
proceeding. A pail of wator or somo
anodyne like opium will be sutlicieut
to make a horse 'logoy' and lazy and
cause him to lose a race which lie
would otherwise win.
"Sometimes a pebble or a nail will
bo put under a horse's shoe to cause
him to go laiue, so that tho owner can
scratch him. Of course, the stewards
of a racing club do not allow a horse
In lin nnlfiNN fliere is n vr>rv
good excuse, but if nn owner does not
waut his horse to run he can put some
foreign body under the shoe or tie a
string around tho ankle pretty tight,
which causes tho leg to swell and tho
horse to be lanurtho next morning.
"An injection of hydro-chlorate ol
cocaine is often put into horses to
make them run faster, and undoubtedly
it does have that effect. This is
ino samo modicino the leaves of which
Weston, the pedestrian, used to chew
when he mndo his long journeys. To
show the efficiency of the trick I will
say that tho preparation was once introduced
into a liorso callodSpartucus.
Ho was a very well-bred horse, but
wind broken. A half drachm of this
solution was introduced hvperdorinically.
A strong man was put on the
horse's hack with orders to jog him
until the half-mile post and then let
him go for a mile. The horse went
along easily for the first half-mile,
then took the bit and ran steadily for
tive miles, the jockey being obliged,
from sheer exhaustion, to fall off. Tho
horse was tinallv stormed bv a row of
ineu standing, across tho truck. The
effect of thie-'*'action generally lusts
for about hV"l ^ hour. It is used a
great deal. VJ
"I onco <\l perimented with this
medicine. A "number of old horses
were brought in, and two of them
dropped from sheer exhaustion half a
mile from the establishment. They
could not make the animals move. Wo
gave each of them an injection of cocaine,
and in tivo minutes they got on
their feet, and not only appeared
strong, but actually ran and appeared
very lively. This illustrates the stimulating
effect of tho drug.
"Kloctricity is also used to increase
a horse's speed. A jockey will carry
a battery attached to a belt around
his body, the conductors passing to
the spurs on each foot. The application
of the spurs to the side of tho
an m il completes the circuit and transmits
to the horse's body the electrical
impulse, and induces the animal to
greater speed. Several jockeys have
been dtsvj^vreil using this appliance.

Some investigations carried out by p0\
Doctor Alexander A. Houston, of Ed* oni
inburgh, respecting the numlier ol oui
buvit'i in iu iuu soii at Uittcrcnt depths qui
from the surface go to prove that the a 1
micro-organisms become less and less up
abundant as tho depth from the sur- th?
face increases. nit
Extensive draught will cause the en<
snail to close its doors, to prevent tho mo
evaporation of its bodily moisture and tot
dry up. These little animals are pos- ten
sessod of nstonishiug vitality, regain- ft ft
ing activity after having been frozen del
in solid blocks of ice, and enduring a sor
degreo of heat for weeks which daily as

Tho common purslane, which grows ou
anywhere ns a weed, produces more
seeds than any other plant. One seed
pod, by actual count, has .'1003 seeds, Co'
and as a plant will sometimes have BHI
twenty pods, the seeds from a single CRI
year's growth may, therefore, number no
00,000. There is no instance of sirni- ro'
lar fruit fulness in uuv oth?r plant m
growing in this country. Tb
The fiiblo fixes tho creation of lifo ?|l

Telephouemeter is the now word
naming an iiiHtrnmeut to register tho

exchange to the ringing-oflf signal. co'
Such a system would reduce rentals of Nt
telephones to a scale according to tho
service, instead of a fixed charge to a
business firm or oceusioual user alike.
The instrument has been constructed
at tho invitation of the German telephone
department and is to control
tho duration of telephone conversa|
tions and to total the time.
Kpnco for a fort on a hill near London
is being cleurcd of tree stumps by
an electric root grubber or stump
puller. Tho dynamo for supplying
tho current is about two miles from
tho hill. The current is taken by overhead
wires on telegraph poles to the
motor on the grubber carriage. By
means of belting and suitable gearing
the motor drives a capstan upon which
aro coiled a fow turns of wiro rope. A
! heavy chain is attached to tho tree
roots, and as the ropo exerts its forco
the roots come up quietly one after j-j
the other. t<

What Every Man Is Worth.
lq interesting exhibit nt the \alal

dients which go to make up the j
rago man, weighing 154 pounds, |
s the American Analyist. A large
s? jar holds the ninety-six pounds
watet which his body contains. In ,
er receptacles are three pounds of
ite of egg, a little less than ton
nuls of pure glue?without which

pounds of phosphate of lime, one
?nd of carbonate of lime, three
ices of sugar and starch, seven

ices of phosphate of magnesia and
it tie ordinary table salt. Divided
into his primary chemical/dements
) same man is fouud to contain
ioty-8Cveu pounds of oxygen?
jugh to tako up, under ordinary atispherio
pressure, tho space of a
>m ten feet long, ten foct wide and
l feet high. His body ?tl?o holds
;eon pounds of hydrogen, which,uur
the same conditions, would occupy
newhat more than two such rooms
that described. To theso must lie
led three pounds and thirteen
nees of nitrogen. The carbon in
j corpus of the individual referred
is represented by a foot cube of j
?!. It ought to be a diamond of the j
lie size, because the stone is pure
rbon, but the National Museum has
t such a one in its possession. A j
(V of bottles contain the other cle- j
uts going to make up the man. j
,eso are four ounces of chlorine, 3j .
uees of rtourine, eight ounces of '
osphorus, 3 \ ounces of brimstone, 1
ounces of sodium. 'Jf ounces of poisium,
1-JO of an ounce of iron, two
nces of magnesium atid three pounds
d thirteen ounces of calcium. Caltra,
at present market rates, is

The Oldest Trees. *
The Soma cypress of Lombardy is, I
believe, the oldest tree of which there
is any authentic reeor*!. it is knows ^
to have been in existence in 42 B. C.
There are, however, many trees for
which a vastly greater antiquity is
claimed. Tho Scucgal baobabs?some
of them?are said to bo 5900 years old.
The 1h> tree of Auuradhapura, in
Ceylon, is perhaps the oldest specimen
of another very long-lived species; it
iB held sacred iqion tho gronnd that
it sprang from a branch of the identical
tree tinder which Buddha reclined
for seven years wtiJi- *mdcrgciug Liu
apotheosis. This oak is well known
to bo a long liver, and thero are specimens
still standing in Palestine, of
which the tradition goes that .they
grew out of (Iain's staff. Tho hawthorn,
again, sometimes lives to be ?
very old ; there is said to bo one inside
Cawdor Castle of an "immemorial
age."
Tho cedars of Lebanon may also be
mentioned, and there uru, according
to Dean Stanley, still eight of the
olives of Gethsemauo standing, "whoso
gnarled trunks and scanty foliage will
always be regarded as the most affecting
of the sacred memorials in or about
Jerusalem."?Notes and Queries.

August Flower, for sick headache
