A Lawyer From BOyhOOd.
lrOn.

There is story told of the late
Judge Strong's boyhood, which shows
that from the beginning his mind had
a legal bent. Young Strong, it seems
purloined piece of cake from the
table spread for some festival occasion.
No one discovered it until the family
and guests were seated at the table,
and then nothing was said. When
everyone had gone and the father was
alone with the youthful epicure he
said to him, "Don't you know, my
son, that in taking that cake, you
broke one OF Gods commandments"
"Question 49," responded the boy,
who had his catechism at his tongues
end. els any man able perfectly to
keep the commandments of God?
Answer 80. No mere man since the
fall is able in this life perfectly to
keep the commandments of God, but
doth daily break them in thought,
word, and deed" 1t is not re-
corded what the reverend father said,
but it must be admitted that the boy
won his first case. Boston Transcript.

Echoes.

..rd beyond the hills clear voice ring
ing,
nd rocky heights the tones were backward
finging,
pach airy summit towering there
Gave forth an answering sound;
Ind vet SO changed it was by oft repeating,
:. .oemed some other self had caught the
greeting
And tossed it back with mocking air
And hurried, leaping bound.
1heard word of gossip, lightly falling,
4 little word but gone beyond recalling,
So swift from lip to lip it flew,
Caught in the social gale;
mt when the echoing sound came backward
stealing
Zach voice had added somewhat in reveal
ing,
So that listener scarcely knew
The author of the tale.

To Ouiet n Horse,

When horse becomes frightened,
demoralized or otherwise ratified about
something he encounters, a good way
to quiet him down is simply to talk to
him in good tone of voice. Ii a
horse gets frightened at something he
sees in the road, stop him at once and
give him formal introduction to it,
telling him in the meantime how very
foolish he is to let such little thing
disturb him. Nothing can be worse
than to whip horse when he is
frightened. He doesn't get frightened
because he wants to. 1t is only be-
cause he has seen or heard something
that he is not familiar with. After he
once gets thoroughly acquainted with
the object of his uneasiness, it will
never frighten him again. Minnesota

But what the dickens is the matter


with you?
Marion was sobbing.
ooh, father, there is lots of good in
him, but have driven him from his
home" And Marion, sitting upon her
fathers knee, gave him detailed ac-
count of the affair.
"Humph !" muttered the old gen.
tleman, holding his pet child at arm s
length. 81 hope my little girl will
make sensible choice of the man she
takes for better or worse"
"What father?" and Marion wiped
away the tears and looked her parent
full in the face.
"That's what / said child, and that's
what mean. 1t is a little strange
that you should have dived deep
enough with that fellow to have dis.
covered the little spark of good hidden
under the crust; but love is very cute.
/ shall lose you one of these days"
Nonsense, father" was all she
could say.
A year passed. Letters came oc-
casionally from the wanderer. He was
doing we'll always sent kind remem-
brances to Marion. Wrote hopefully

Marion, you darling little house

you I am worthy of that trust" ;"
A little cough, n big bunch in the
throat, u frantic effort to swallow it,,
and this incentive to manly effort
burst into tears, and--well, Harmon
took her in his arms and kissed her,
lust as any other sensible man would
have done.
They were married month ago,
and father Harris is spending the sum-

Among the Charcoal.Burners.

Charcoal in the pine woods
of southern Jersey, Delaware, and
other points south, follow romantic
and monotonous life. At the best
the business is dirty, smutty
one, and it is difficult to distinguish
white man from an African. Both
work in the camps, watching the fires
by night. and hunting game in the
daytime. The work is carried on in
summer and winter, and during the
latter season the bright fires are
rather pleasant sights. They illumi-
nate the dark forests, and keep the
cold out by their intense heat. The
burners cook their sweet potatoes and
wild game and fish on the hot Goals,
and dine sumptuously every day. Half.
a-dozen or more may belong to one
camp, and they while away the time
in hunting, singing, and card-playing.
The colored men invariably have their
banjoes in camp, and to stumble upon
one of the companies on dark night
impresses one strangely. The flicker
ing light, rollicking, dancing crowds
around it, and the twang of the banjo,
are not calculated to quiet your appre-
tensions unless the true charactnr of
the camp is known beforehand.
In this business of burning char
coal the capitalist has not yet enter ed.
There are no trusts or corporations
The work is conducted chiefly by in
dividuals, many of them poor. The
woods are free, and with an axe and
box of matches any one can start a
charcoal camp in the South. Most of
them can get their living in hunting
and fishing, and the actual cost of
board is reduced to tobacco, and a
suit of old clothes occasionally.
Every week or two travelling Meth
odist preacher appears in the woods,
and conducts service in the camp.
This is day when all of the members
of the camp wash and spruce up as
much as possible, for they welcome
all strangers and give hearty recep-
| ton to the minister. 1t is doubtful
if the preacher receives more atten-
ton in any part of his long. route.
Strangers visiting the woods are al
ways invited to the rude feasts of the
charcoal burners and despite theil
black looking faces, they have white
hearts and accommodating ways.
They visit the town or city only when
the stock of tobacco is exhausted, oi
when they drive to the railroad sta
ton to dispose of their finished pro-
duct. Country Gentleman.

New YOrk's River Tunnel.

There is big hole under North
River. Some day it will be tunnel
connecting New York city an Hobo
ken. No work has been done for four
years, but the owners of the hole are
now trying to raise money in London
to complete their tunnel before a
bridge can be built over North River.
Only l, $50 feet remain to connect the
two holes bored from either shore,
each of which is now full of water.
This water has simply soaked through
since work was abandoned on the death
of the principal backer SO far SO,
900, 900 has been poured into the hole
and only $500, 900 will be required to

Fads in shipbuilding seem to date
from the seventeenth century, when a
Dutch merchant gave orders for q
vessel to be constructed for him like
the pictorial representations of Noahs
ark. The shipping folk in the town
where he resided jeered at him for his
eccentric idea, but when the craft was
completed and she was found capable
of carrying third more cargo than
their owners ships, and no extra men
were required to work her, the laugh
changed sides. Probably this is the
only instance on record of "fad"
turning out successful when put to d
practical test.
In 1914 William Doncaster patented
what he described as being "the first
hydrostatic ship which has ever ap-
peared upon the habitable globe. " 1t
consisted of five pontoons, sharp
pointed, to divide the displaced water
SO that she would rise well to the
waves. Four water wheels were fixed
fore and aft, between pontoons one
and two and four and five, through
which the water ran to propel the YES
sci. This invention, as might readily
be imagined, proved to be of no use
whatever. Chambers's journal.

st, Petersburg's Wonderful Clock.

At st. Petersburg a remarkable as
Economical clock or timekeeper is re-
ported to be on exhibition. 1t is fur
nished with ninety-five dials, which
indicate the hour at thirty different
points of the globe, the movement of
the earth around the sun, the phases
of the moon, the signs of the zodiac,
the crossing of the meridian of fifty
stars and the orthodox Gregorian,
Mussulman and Hebrew calendars.
The mechanism is so complicated that
when taken to pieces for transport to
st. Petersburg it required nearly two
years to put it together again.
