was no denying that. Tom's mothci
was tlio last one to admit it, but ovoi
ehe was foread to own sorrowfully thai
"Thomas was a little wild." Doaooi
Chandler in his own family laid down
the strictest rules, and they were fearfully
followed by all except the eldest.
Tom was incorrigible. He chafed under
the home restraint, and liis natural
wildness found vent in various
petty misdemeanors, which soon wot
for him a bad name in his native village.
In vain his mother besought
him to mend his ways; in vain hi:
father placed him under closer restraint
and visited upon him more dirt
penalties. It was no avail.
j One night Deacon Chandler entered
liis home with a stern look on his fact
1 that boded no good for whoever the
. ? culprit might be. His wife looked u[
Vroui her sewing as he entered.
"Where's Tom?" lie said shortly.
"I don't know," was th reply.
"Why?is anything the matter?"
Before lie could reply th" than
opened again and the subject of then
conversation came in. Ho was a tall,
well-built boy of eighteen, hut hit
youthful face was already marked wit!

"Well, sir?" was Deacon ('Is in llcr%
greeting.
"Well?" came in insolent tones froi..
the boy, who remained standing.
"You are found out."
The stern notes of the father r um
in the mother's ear like a dealhiviiell.
"You may us well confess."
"There is no need if you have found
me out," replied the hoy defiantly.
"Perhaps you would like me to t< !!.
Are you proud ttint you and your ganri

Mr. Dean's orchard, and that unless I
Settle you will be arrested? (am you
offer any excuse for removing the gate?
from half a dozen houses in town an 1
making a bonfire of them in my
orchard lot?"
Mrs. Chandler looked hurriedly uji
at her son.
"Oh, Tom, it isn't so? Si*y it isn't
bo," she implored.
lint ho was silent. Then the deacon
continued:
"I shall settle to save your brotherand
sisters from disgrace, 1 > :t from
this night you are no son ol mine. J
disown you."
A slight pallor spread over th<- boy's
face as lie opened his lips to i | ly.
"Ml right, father. If you hid dealt

J took the apples and helped to burn

suddenly, "what does it matter? 1

the comfortable room contemptuously.

Do you hear?"
"You Hoed not tell me twice," returned
the boy. 1'flood-bye, mother.
I'm going," and before they realized
it tho eldest Hon had panned out ol
home life forever.
i After that life went on nbout atusual
at the Chamller farm. Tin
deacon still offered his accustomed
prayer, only thero was no Tom to
make fun of him, for since that
uiglit Tom Chandler had not been
seen. Deacon Chandler was still waiting
for his opportunity and still wondering,
too, how a chance so earnestly
1 desired was so long withheld. Others
all about him were doing great things
toward building up tho kingdom, yet,
'? search and \vnit as he would, nothing
e\er cauie in his way.
S.? the time went on for eight or ten
veins, until one day Deacon Chvi !l"i

, Ins wife was one of the things that n?V
one doubted* and when he noticed how
u pale and thin she had become ho spoke
to her .it once in nn unusually nuxiou t

"Is there anything I can do for you,

"No?I don't know as there is."

Tho words on mo sharp and fast now
1 nnil ended in n smothered sob.
The deacon was surprised. Nov. r
I before had his wife questioned his wsdoin
or censured him for what ho did.
j Tint the mother love so strong in h t
had welled up and tilled her heart t.?
overflowing, and she must be heard.
Her words had their effect, too, for
Deacon Chandler saw, ns ho had never
seen before this, his mistake and the
hypocrisy of the fervent prayer lie had
, so often breathed out to His Heavenly
Father when he was an unmerciful?
1 nay, even cruel parent. How le- h id
| prayed for an opportunity of doing
' pood, ami when it came b*t it puss?
, nay, threw it away willfully. Ho was i
man of few words, and those h spo!, >
now carried healing balm to the l?<>iirt
of the woman who had so loved her
1 wayward boy.
"I have been wrong, wife. Can you
forgive me?"
"v)h, freely!" she answered him.
He read in her wistful eyes the un
spoken wish and answered it.
"I will find our hoy ami bring liiin
home," he said.
"And no matter how sinful lie is or
how he has fallen you will bring him
home to his mother?"
'I will." And she was satisfied.
To those who wish to learn all things
are plain, and Deacon Chandler traced
his son, by constant effort, to a small
Western city. Of the fact that he was
there he became convinced, but could
learn nothing more. A week found
him standing in a railway station of
the city of C., inquiring of the bystanders
if they knew Thomas Chandler.
I "Know Thomas Chandler? Waal, I
reekou T do," drawlod one loafer who
was warming himself in the sun.
( "Can you tell me where I can find
him?" asked the deacon.
"Waal, I kinder reckon about this
time er day he's ter be found o 7er to
the Senter House."
Having learned where the Senter
House was. Deacon Chandler walked
slowly up the main street of the wellkept
western city. How should he
find Tom? He inferred, from tin
manner of the man with whom he had
just talked, that his son was still the
wild young man he had turned from
i home so many weary years ago. Kut
it did not matter. lie had promised I
the mother?and then was not here his
opportunity? He would see that he
grasped it now and would save his son
at any cost.
His meditations were cut short by
! the gilded sign directly in front of
his eves and he saw in latme letters Sen
tor House. He whs almost ashamed to
I ask this geiitlemenly fellow about his
erring son, but he did.
'I am a stranger here, sir," he began.
"Can you tell rue where I can
liml Thomas Chandler?"
"Yes, sir," answered the brisk clerk.
Then he turned to a boy who stood
near and said, "(Jo and find Mr.
Chandler."
The boy sped away 011 his errand
and Deacon Chandler waited. Then
1 he heard steps, a man's surprised
voice called, "Father," and ho
looked up and saw his son. But where
was the sinful, dissipated inau he had
thought to sec? Here was a welldr
-s" ! : t 1 1 prosperous-looking man,
holding out his hand to him and bidding
him welcome. And it was Tom.
I'll it was the I'unnv part of it.
"Come, father," and he lead tho olo
n in away to a private parlor and
dosed the door. "Don't you know
I me, father? I would know you auyI
where."
"Yes?but it's so strange," gasped
the <dd man.
Tom laughed good naturedly.
"Oh, you menu that 1 am not what
you exported to find? Well, hardly,
judging from early indications; but,
! father I must say it"?and the man's
| e>?s grew moist?"all that I am J
own to mother."
"Clod bless her, Tom," heartily responded
hia father. Then after a pause,
i "Can you forgive nie, my son, for ray
harshness?"
"There is no more for me to forgive
than you," returned his son. "I
have lived all these years to learn, and
I think I may safely say now that I am
j an honest man. This house is mine?
and, Ood willing, I mean in the future
to be an honor and not a disgrace to
the old home."
Ho, after all, Deacon Chandler's
opportunity was a wasted one, for now
there was no need of any effort on his
I | part in his son's case. The opportun;
ity had come to him in his sou's youth
I and ho had uegloctcd it.
As it happened, everything had
turned out right, but the chances for
that had been ho few aud for another

Falconry may hereafter ho restored,
as it seems, though not as n sport, but
as pnrt of the terribly seHoits business;
war. A Russian officer. Captain SmilofV,
has been taming falcons to servo
its dispatch carrier*. The falcon has
several advantages over the carrier
pigeon. Not only is ho a more warlike
bird than the meek cousin of the
dove, luit he is switter in flight ami
capable of great endurance. The
greatest swiftness ever known to bo
attained is fifteen fClermnn) miles in
the hour! buf fliis is the rate of tli?
ordinary flight of the falcon.
D'Attlms'-on, in his work on the
"Falconry of the Middle Ago?," tclla
several anecdotes of the extraordinary
powers of the falcon aud length and
swiftness of flight. For instance, a
falcon which was sent from the Canary
Islands to the Duke of Liernin, in
Spain, made the return flight from
Andalusia to TenerilTe in sixteen hours,
which was at the express speed of sixteen
(ftcrinnu) miles in the hour. Jfc.
Herman mile is not far short of five
Rnglish miles, so that the s]iced of this
falcon mmt have been at the rate of
about seventy-live miles an hour.
A further advantage of the falcon
over the pigeon is the greater weight
which it can carry. It is well known
that a very slight burden W? an oppression
to the poor pigeon, so that dispatches
are reduced in size by photographic
copies, in order to reduce the
weight for the feeble little carrier.
Captain Smoiloflf says that he lias
found that a falcon can carry a weight
of four ibissiaii pounds, or 1(140 grams
(thirty grams go to our ounce) without
diminishing its power or swiftness
n (lying. besides, the carrier pigeon
may fall a prey to the falcon, while
there is small danger of any other
bird taking the carrier falcon ft

A German genius was very much disappointed
lately when he applied for a
patent on an invention of his to have
the patent refused, and the manufacture
and sale of his invention forbidden.
It is a paper so prepared that
any writing on it, made with iinyknown
sort of ink, can be easily and tpiickly
erased by the simple application of a
moist sponge. The paper was made of
the ordinary ingredients, with the addition
of asbestos and parchment glue.
The paper pulp, after rolling, was immersed
for a short time (from six to

A Trinity professor ?in<i his young
son were dressing together one morning
not long ago when the father
thought ho saw a chance to lncuJoute
into his son a few good ideas. He
looked out of the window nnd saw the
small hoy who lived next door to them
working hard in the garden, and this
was his opportunity. "Henry," he
said, "look at Walter Jones working
out there in the garden. He's been
up since 5 o'clock this morning,
milked the cow and brought the milk
over here. Now, there's a boy for
you."
The hoy mused for a minute or two,
then looked up at his father and said:
"1'apa, do you Mr. Jones over
there? He's been up since 5 o'clock
working hard in the garden, planting
corn and peas. Now, there's a man
for you." And the professor as he
tells the story says there was just a
twinkle in his son's eye. ?Hartford

stirgeori connected with tho S. P.
C. A. the other day.
"If a horse has a chronic lameness
in either foot the trainer can inject
iiiin tlis* font. ii uoInt.lott of nnfMiino
which for the time being will render j
the horse Round?that is, it will dull
the sensibility to pain for more than
half an hour to an hour and a half, and
the horse will act as if he was sound.
"Another method in a case like this
is to sever the nerves of the foot, there
being two nerves, one on each side of
the foot. This deprives the lower part
of the limb of all sensation, and the
horse will go souud for perhaps a year,
when the nerves will form together
again.
"The leopard may not l>e able to
change his snots, but a good trainer
can take an iinimal and make him a
horse of ivul her color. He will use
nitrate of ^}ver (peroxide of hydrogen)
to bleWii different, parts of the
body so as n> make them match. Suppose
you hati" a team of sorrels; one
liad a silver Vnane and tail and the
other had not. The trainer would
bleach the mane and tail of the latter.
If a star was wanted in the forehead
he could put it there or produce for
you a white nose, one or more white
legs, 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 the
hollownoss over his eyes. In such a
case the trainer will introduce a. little
tube, and, by blowing in air, will
cause the hollows to pull'up, and if the
chest or shoulder of a horse is astrophicd?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 ptilliug the skin, which will
crackle under the touch ; it will not
have solid teelirrg of ricsh.
Jn regard to teeth, young horses
naturally have what it* known as 'cups,'
excavations, marked black, which disappear
when they become older, being
worn off. The trainer, to mislead
those who are interested in the horse,
will artificially excavate or cut out the
surplus of the teeth and blacken them
with nitrate of silver. This can always
be detected in a 'bishoped
mouth,'as it is called, by the absence
of the riugof 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,
then flattened on the sides, the latter
being tho shape of the tooth itself.
The root is very narrow, and as tho
tooth wears off it assumes that shape.
"But there are tricks especially connected
with tho races. In a running
raco suppose a trainer wants his horse
to Ioho. To mislead the public lie will
hire a good jockey and just before the
animal goes to tho post ho will give
him a pailful of water. This, of course,
causes the horse, before ho goes very
far, to feel troubled about his wind,
and, in jockey parlance, he is called 'a
dead horse.' The jockey is not supposed
to know anything about this
proceeding. A pail of water or Homo
anodyne like opium will be sufficient
to make a horse 'logey' and lazy and

"Sometimes ft pebble ot ti nail will
bo put under a horHe'H shoe to cause
him to go lame, ho that the owner can
scratch him. Of course, the stewards
of a racing club do not allow a horse
to be scratched unless there is a very
good excuse, but if an owner does not
want his horse to run he can put some
foreign body under the shoe or tie a
string around the ankle pretty tight,
which causes the leg to swell and the
horHc to be lamotho next morning.
"An injection of hydro-ehlorato of
cocaine is often put into horses to
, make them run faster, and undoubtedly
it does have that effect. This is
the same medicine the leaves of which
Weston, the pedestrian, used to chewwhen
he made his long journeys. To
show the efficiency of the trick I will
say that the preparation was once introduced
into a horse calledSpartacus.
Ho was a very well-bred horse, but
wind broken. A half drachm ot' this
solution was introduced hvperdcrmically.
A strong man was put on the
horse's back with orders to jog him
until the half-mile post and then let
him go for a mile. Thh horse went
along easily for the tlrst half-mile,
then took the bit and ran steadily for
five miles, the jockey beiug obliged,
from sheer exhaustion, to fall oft'. The
horse was finally stopped by a row of
inen standing aoross the track. The
eifeot of tl?iyA* **etio? generally lasts
for about hFd' ? hour. It is used a
great doal. ^
"I onco ^r, pcrimented with this
medicine. A "number of old horses
were brought in, and two of thein
I 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 five minutes they got on
their feet, and not only appeared
strong, but actually ran and appeared
very lively. This illustrates tho stimulating
effect of tho drug.
"Electricity 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 the
animal completes tho circuit and transmits
to the horse's body the electrical
impulse, and induces tho animal to
greater speed. Several jockeys have
been discovered using this appliance.

Teleplionemeter is the new wor<
naming an inHtrumeut to register the
time of each conversation at the tele
phono from the time of ringing up tin
exchange to the ringing-ofT signal
Such a system would reduce rentals o
telephones t.o a scale according to tin
service, instead of a fixed charge to r
business firm or occasional user alike
The instrument has been constructor
at the invitation of the German tele
phone department and is to contro
tho duration of telephone conversa
tions and to total the time.

Tlio Oldest Trees. ^
Tlie Soma cypress of Lorn hardy is, I *
believe, the oldest tree of which there
is any authentic record. It is known
to have been in existence in i'2 B. C.
There are, however, many trees for
which u vastly greater antiquity is
claimed. Tlio Senegal baobabs?aomo
of them?are said to bo 5000 yearsohl.
The bo treo of Auuradhtqmra, iu
Ceylon, is perhaps the oldest specimen
' oi unoiner very long-nveu Bpeoien; is
> is held sacred upon the ground that
3 it spraug from a branch of tho idon3
tical tree under which Buddha reclined
1 for seven years while undergoing his
5 apotheosis. This oak is well known
I to bo a long liver, and thero are speoiI
mens still standing in Palestine, of
II which tlio tradition goes that they
1 grow out of Cain's staff. Tho hawthorn,
again, sometimes lives to bo ??
very old; there is said to be ono inB
side Cawdor Castle of an "immemorial
1 age."
H Tho cedars of Lebanon may also bo
* mentioned, and there are, according
y to Dean Stanley, still eight of the
? olives of (lethsemiiue standing, "whoso
guailcd trunks and scanty foliage will
ii always be regarded as tho most affecti'
ing of the sacred memorials in or about
'1 Jerusalem."?Notes and Queries.
