Phineas had caught the sound of
heavy feet moving cautiously over the
gravel. He grasped his gun and peered
into the gloom, but could distinguish
nothing.
Suddenly he heard voices, evidently
at the front of the house. He was about
to quit his position, under the impress

the front door, after all, when one of
the back windows was cautiously raised

The effect of the challenge was
scarcely what Phineas had anticipated.

seized the barrel of the gun.

When Spenser had finished his famous

Another Mother and Man.

The truth of the adage about the
hand that rules the world being the
enc that rocks the cradle is again eX-
emplified, but this time not in the
world of craftsmanship, but in that OF
science. Nicola Tesla, who ranks with
Edison in electrical invention. was, as
boy in Montenegro, full of mischief,
and also under the guidance of u re
markable woman--his mother. He
once went by himself to n chapel i'm the
hills back of his native town, and man
aged to get himself locked in itat night.

the night. air, rang out the tones Of
the chapel bell Nicola was cold, nerv-
GUS and hungry when found. On an
other occasion, when up to some boyish
pranks. his mother suddenly appeared
on the scene. He was so startled that
he fell into a kettle of fresh milk, spoil
ing the milk and his clothes at the
game time. Like many other men who
have become famous along one line of
usefulness, young Tesla was started in
life Mt another line. His father want
ed him educated for the church, but
his mother encouraged his scientific
tastes, and finally had her way. She
was woman Of unusual ability, force
Of character and ingenuity. This Lass
characteristic was developed in her en-
broidcry, which was of artistic ami
original designs, and made her famous
all through the part of Montenegro IN
which she lived. To hisHmother's love
and influence Tesla attributes much of
his manhood's success. - Harper'y

Hero of "a shipwreck.


A tale of rare heroism has come to
light in connection with the loss of

tic, and some of the men died from OK
posure the same day, including the
captain. This boat was then under
the command of the second mate. Mr..
Thomas, who navigated her to the near
est Tort, Canso. OF course, only few
stood the intense cold, and Mr. Thon rs
bore the brunt of the toll and suffering.
Without compass, food or Instruments
of any kind, he had to tell the
men how to steer by the pole
star and sun. AS the poor fellows
died, frozen stiff, they were geatly
thrown overheard to Tighten the
boat, prayer being offered the while.
In four days land was made. and The
] remnant of the crew, perfectly helpless,
were taken on shore TO the hospital.
It was then found that Mr.. Thomas
was so severely frost-bitten that it was
necessary to amputate both hands and
feet. Thus man in his prime, just 30
years of age, is rendered helpless
through his devoted heroism. The men
in the chief mates boat have never since
been heard of, so that the eight men
landed are the sole survivors CT a crew

ON CONVERSATION.
Special Preparation Is Not ut All Times
Essential.

Special Preparation Is Not ut All Times
Essential.
The question OF special preparation
is very controrerted one, owing to the
belief already mentioned that any such
preparation spoils the spoG,aneity of
talk, and that if you perceive that man
has prepared his conversation, or wishes
to lead you from the topic in hand to
something else, you resent it, and look
upon him rs an impostor or II bore.
But that only means that he does not
Know how to make his preparation, or
else that there is something interest
ing already under discussion, in which
case we resent the drawing of u red
herring across the trail"
But let us suppose that n man comes
in while people are waiting for the ar
rival of guests TO complete party. In
such a moment one who brings IN bit
of strange news, who starts paradox,
no suggests any topic of interest, is
a real benefactor to the host and host
ess, and surely will receive no ccnsure
from any reasonable person. And will
anyone tell me that the man who
thinks of this conjuncture beforehand
will not acquit himself better than he
that leaves the matter to mere chance,
or rather the better intelligence Of some
other guest?
In the case of special preparation
there is one golden rule which will pre-
vent any mistakes. Such preparation
must only be intended to ill up the un-
pleasant gap, to help out the company
when no agreeable topic has been pro-
posed, If things are going well, il is
the duty of the prepared man to cast
his material to the wind and fall in with
the currcDt Of the evening There are
many men so vain and selfish that they
will not make this sacrifice, and will
obtrude their ideas where they are not
wanted. But here the fault lies, not
in the preparation, but in the moral
qualities Of the man. He ought to he
delighted that his aid is not required,
he ought to know that what he has
ready will serve at some future occa-
sion; if he cannot rise to these consd-
erations lie is a vain and worthless per-
son and is not fit to be taught this gem
tie and delicate art. T.. Mahafry,

might be u disqualification, he could moi
help thinking that there was considerable
affinity between law and medicine. Both
professions called into play tho same ounl-
tiles, both required exercise OF the great
est discretion, and both were the recipients
OF such condolences as he supposed none
would like to intrust to any one except to
the doctor or the lawyer. The law had II
great deal 10 do with medicine for in nj
most four out of every ten cases the assist
