Il Mothers Influence.

II is hard for a young mother who has
not yet overcome the waywsrd tenden-
cies OF her own youthful nature, to real
ize the influence she exerts over her little
ones. She is continually surrounded By
critical imitstors, who copy both her
morals and her manners. As the mother
is, SO is her sons and daughters. 1t u
family OF children are blessed with an
intelligent mother, who is dainty and re-
fined in her manners, and does not con
slider il necessary TO be one woman in Che
parlor snd an entirely different one In
her everyday lite, but who il q true moth
er, and always tender, charming wom-
an. you will invariably see her habits OF
speech and her pleasant manners repeat
ed in her children.-Great, rough men,
and noisy, active boys will always tone
down their voice, and strive 10 step qui-
city, and be more manuerly, when she
stops 10 give them kind word or pleas
ant smile. for true mother will never
tsil to say and do all the kind and pleas
ant things she can that will in any way
help to lift up and cheer those whose lives
are shaded with toll and care. The moth
er of to-day rules the world tomorrow.
Think Of it when you are tempted 10 be
fretful and impatient. and guard well
your home treasures.

good deal oil sleep. Between lO:oo hpu
y :15 seven more tramps rang the front
door-bell and were found by Mr.. Haw'
kins lying in seven distinct faints on the
piazza. Five be relieved, and then he
lost his temper. The last two tramps had
to revive themselves, and the three sddi-
tional ones that tainted on the piazza, be-
tween 6 aud the next morning did no,
receive even mouthful OF cold break
fast.
A great change was noticed in Mr..
Hawkins when be appeared at Whitman
store early in the day, and bought hall a
gross of large carpet taces and ten yards
OF oil cloth. He wore q stern and deter
mined look, and when Mr.. Whitman said
that all the tramps in the State had heard
about the poor woman whom he had
helped, and were on their way 10 SEQ
him, Mr.. Hawkins used an expression
that would have sounded better in his
wife's mouth aad she applied it TO dilap-
idsted stockings Going homo with his
purchases, MIR. Hawkins was met by
Stebbins. the stage-driver, who told him
that he had passed more than fifty tramps
on their way from Utica TO Mooseville.
Mr.. Hawkins made no reply, but as Mr..
Stebbins afterward said, looked black
ernthunder."
Just after dark Mr.. Hawkins front
piazza Was carefully laid with oil-cloth,
through which six dozen OF carpet tacks
had been thrust with their points upward.
When he had completed the work he
9mied grimly aud remarked TO Mrs. Hs "
kins-who had clasped her hands and
said, 80 father! il will hurt 'em'-
"Serve 'em right, by goshW AT 9 O'Clock
Mr.. Hawkins went 10 bed and waited TO
hear the first summons of the bell. Il.
came at 9 :35, and was almost instantly
followed, first by wild yell. mingled
with profane expressions. and then by a
sound OF rapidly retreating footsteps. In
the course OF the night this phenomenon
was repeated twenty-three times. There
was a great variety in the oaths which
ascended to Mr.. Hawkins window,
though they ali expressed very nearly
the same degree of surprise and iudigna-
,ion. There was good deal Of blood
and large amount OF rags on the piazza
in the morning. but not single uncon-
scious tramp lay awaiting resuscitation.
For the next week an occasional tramp
tried to faint on the piazza, but never
failed to abandon that intention and 10 20
away in an unchristisn frame of mind.
As for Mr.. Hawkins, he has laid in sew
eral large dogs. and thore is no man ip
Mooseville who is more firmly convinced
shat tramps never, under any circum-
stances, deserve charity.

NUMBER 40.
Torpedo Practice on Sharks.

Not year, indeed, hardly month,
passes. but shark spoils British ship
of one or more OF her hands. While the
vessel is in the harbor or riding iu tde
offing a man tumbles overheard, or Is
capsiZed from boat, or attempts to swim
ashore, and is torn in pieces by sharks
within sight OF help and human voIoe.
The Alice Davies. of Liverpool, has just
returned to the Mersey, and in her "lo9"
is duly recorded terrible catastrophe OF
this kind. She was anchored off a small
river known as the Probolingo, on the
coast OF Java, and one OF her crew, q
Welchman of the name of Owen, went
with four others 10 bathe. They were
all good swimmers, and Owen, who was
the most skillful, had ventured some lit
tie distance from the vessel when he was
suddenly heard to utter piercing Shrek
A large shark, rising suddenly from tho
bottom, had bitten him immediately be-
low the fifth rib, and literally torn him to
pieces. A rope was thrown to him, but
his injuries were so terrible that he imme-
distely sank. His companions escaped
nDinjured, but OF Owens body DO trace
was discovered. The shark which at
tacked him was. We are told, Judged 10
be some fifteen feet in length. Such di-
mensions, although large, are yet not
unusual in the japanese seas.
The shark is not so much the tiger AZ
the vulture OF the sea. Like the vulture,
he hesitates to attack anything with life
in it; but, If hungry, becomes for the
time possessed with courage not mis- own.
We shall never eXterminate him, and his
presence in tropical waters must always
remain & constant source of Danger
Meanwhile he has at least this merit, that
wherever he may be found he affords =
certain rough species OF sport. There Is
no better sport than fishing for p shsxk
With hook the size OF pitchfork. and
huge piece OF pork by way OF bait. Har-
pooning the creature is also an exciting
amusement, although seldom prscticed.
OF late years, too, the shark has been
hunted 10 novel and scientific ways.
There Is no better form ol rifle practice
than 70 snoot at him from over the stern,
with explosive bullets. Ii you miss him,
he still follows on; il he is hit, a great
hole is rent in him He rolls slowly Ov-
or on his back, disp laying his cruel, gap
ing jaws and vast expanse OF white ~
der-sarisoe, and his brother sharks com
ing up from around. quarrel and dispute
trantically over the carcass. Best how
ever, of all modes OF shark chase, because
most scientific, and consequently most
amusing, is that recently adopted in dtr
Malesty's navy of combining torpedo
drill with shark fishery. a miniature tor
pedo is iuclosed in bait OF junk or pork,
and lowered with proper care. Tho bat
terry is duly charged, and at the moment
the huge fish seizes, and as pike-hsher
would say, pouches the tempting NOR
sci, the circuit is completed. The effect
is instantaneous. The head and jaws Of
the monster are blown into fragments,
and bubbling circle in the water marks
the spot where. few seconds before, MS
dorsal fin showed above the waves

An Extraordinary Religious Awakening

The American Baptist Missionary I'm
ion, whose headquarters are at fremont
Temple, in Boston, opened mission tield
IN 1910, among the TelOogoos in India
Up 10 1867. that enterprise was very un-
successful and discouraging. But from
that date TO the present the mission has
had an extraordinary success. In lSTb
the terrible famine that spread desolation
and death throughout the Madras presi-
dency arrested all strictly missionary
work, the missionaries OF the Union being
constantly employ ed in disbursing among
the starving thousands a large amount
of famine funds entrusted to them by the
English government and by parties in
Boston. This generosity OF Christian
countries excited the attention and sur
prise of the suffering Teloogoos. and
they began TO lose confidence in their
idols and the priests OF their religion. On
one occasion more than thousand Te-
loogoos come in together from single
village into mission compound and
threw down their idols at the feet OF Mr..
Clough, the American Baptist missionary
stationed atOngoe, declaring that hence
forth they would worship the living God, j,
who had helped them iu time OF trouble.
This same missionary, for over hfteen
months. refused--for prudential reasons,
as he had funds to distriOute-to receive
into his church single candidate OF the
thousands crowding upon him for baps'
ism. Last June, on the 10th, he began
10 conduct the work OF examination. and
with the aid of SIX native helpers,to oap-
tize Christian believers. From that date
% July 81 MIR. Clough baptized into the
membership of his church at Ongole,
S69l. On the Sd day of July he baptized
2222. He reports. under date OF August
5. that 5000 more are waiting Tor exam
instion and baptism. His church. when
these are received. will comprise men,
bership OF over IL 900 souls. Mr.. Ciough
writes that not one hundred OF the thou
sands he has baptized ever received from
him quarter OF cent OF the funds
which he distributed. and never expect
any pecuniary help at his hands. This
religious movement in India, under the
labors of the American Baptist missiona
ries, is unprecedented in the history o.
modern missions. The denomination
whose foreign mission work has met viii
such a remarkab!e success ought TO make
special effort to increase the number o
their workers in the Teloogoo mission.

Wood burns because it has6e prop

becomes renowned because be has the
necessary ssufin him. Renown is MOTTO be

person may. indeed, by skillful conduct
and various artificial means, make 8 SOFT

Jewel is wanting, all is vanity, and will

leaven favorably situated

Working leaven favorably situated
will certainly show itself. The sponge
swells over the rim OF the vessel some
times and hangs like snow-drifts to the
sides. The religion which does not lift up
the aims OF life to higher ends, does not
lift up the frowns of the face to pleasant
smiles, does not raise the expectations OF
life to higher Joys, must be poor leaven ;
or otherwise must be surrounded by un-
favorable conditions. Get the best. Keep
Il warm and let it work.. l.. WithrO,0.
