your recitations; get away from your
formalities, my son." Then the father
turns to the servants and says, Bring
forth the best robe, put a ring on his
finger and shoes on his feet; bring
hither the fatted calf and kill It."
But our lesson compels us 10 get a
view of the scene from the fathers
side.
The father had reached a sancti6ed
state of spirit which neither of his
boys understood. The wicked sinner
could not understand what 1t was to
be upright and pure and faithful to his
God. The other son had been too
pious, in the sense Of formal plety, to
understand.
1t is true that he would have clothed
his younger brother, he would have fed
him, and done those things which
were actually necessary, but he would
not have enjoyed doing it. He would
not have done it with the Christian
the highest Christian-spirit.
1t is said that when a lady interest
ed in the cause of the orphans went
around to George Peabody, and called
his attention to their dreadful suffer
ing, to their sleeping out on the side
walks in the cold and the fog Of Lon
don, that Mr.. Peabody said, II am
glad that you came. 1 wonder why
no n came to me about this before.
This Is a magnificent opportunity"
l heard Mr.. Peabody refer to the es-
adjustment Of the Peabody Institute
In Danvers, Mass, al being one OF
the most blessed privileges Of his life.
1t is not enough to give. Oh, no. Any
ordinary, pious man, trying to live
right, will give. But to get joy from
it, to find in it the service of God de,
light, that is the sanctifed position
into which this father was striving tc
bring both of his sons.

SHADY SERVICE.

BY Rev. RusseHH n. ConweI. D. d.
TeXt.-"It was meet that we should
make merry and be glad."-Luke
1882.
Whatsoever it is our duty to do at
all should be done cheerfully. There
is no service Of God that can be fully
and perfectly performed without the
spirit of gladness in its execution.
Here was this boy, a younger son who
had taken his portion of his fathers
goods, which in that land was but a
small portion, as the elder son in
herited the larger part and the name,
who had taken his portion and spent
it in a far country. This boy having
lost all, in rags, in hunger, the oppo-
site Of what he was when he went
forth from that home, came back
spirlt-crushed to his father.
He had composed a speech and had
reclted 1t among the hogs, and had
said, 81 will go to my father and say,
l have sinned against heaven and be-
fore thee and am no more worthy to
become thy SON make me as one of

gotten half way through 1t when his
father broke in impatiently, ITO the

REAL MEERscHAUM PIPES.
Test to Distinguish the Genuine from
the Spurious.

-.
Test to Distinguish the Genuine from
the Spurious.
Once upon a time there was a smok4
er who spent eight of the best years
of his life coloring a meerschaum pipe,
only to find at the end of that period
he had been nursing a piece of "massa-
kopfe" instead of the genuine ''ecume
de mer." The 'massa-kopfe" is a com
position made Of the parings Of genu-
Inc meerschaum and a mineral clay,
says the New York Press. The parings
are triturated to a fine powder, boiled
In water and nodded into blocks, with
OF without the addition Of clay; each
block is then cut into a bowl. but as
II contracts considerably it must be
left some time to dry. These bowls
are distinguished from the genuine
m%eerschaum by their greater specific
gravity, but there is no absolutely GER
tain test by which the real meer-
schaum can be told from the compost
ton.
In forming a pipe from "ecume de
mer' the silicate of magnesia Is pre-
pared for the operation by soaking in
a composition of wax, oil and fats. The
wax and oil absorbed by the meer-
schaum are the cause of the color pro-
duced by smoking; the heat Of the
burning tobacco causes the wax and
fatty substances to pass through the
stages Of a dry distillation and, becom-
ing associated with the products Of the
distillation Of the tobacco, they are
diffused through the substances Of the
bowl, producing those gradations OF
tint which are so much priced. In
some cases the bowls are artificially
colored by dipping them, before being
soaked in wax, in a solution of sui
phate Of iron, either alone or mixed
with dragons blood.
Good meerschaum is soft enough to
be dented by the thumb nail. 1t yields
readily to the knife, especially after
having been wetted. There are verl-
GUS densities; some kinds sink in
water, others float on its surface.
Those Of medium density are preferred
by the pipemaker, for the light varie-
ties are porous and even cavernous;
and the heavier kinds are often made
up a%rtificially. Many judges assume
that the heavier kinds are spurious.
but there is no absolute proof that
such is the case. A negative test may
be mentioned; the composition bowls
never exhibit those little blemishes
which result from the presence of for
eign bodies in the natural meerschaum.
Therefore, If a blemish occur in Il
meerschaum bowl-which is frequent
ly the cass-the g%enuineness of the
bowl is rendered most probable, put as
blemishes do not show until after the
bowl has been used for some time the
test is not Of much value.

meadows, where the sun beat all day
long. This gave him his idea. From
a city friend he cajoled a lot of what
housekeepers call the big pieces of
the family wash. When the sheets
and tablecloths and seviettes came
home is was not so much that they
were clean-that is elemental laundry
work, though rarely attalned-but
they had the breath Of country air and
the smell Of grass. From this begin
ming the trade has grown until that
Massachusetts farm is paying better
than it ever did under a system of
rotation Of crops.

A BALZAC ANECDOTE.
French Authors Great Liking for Fem
more Co oper's Works.

In a recent volume upon Aspects Of
Balzac," says the Philadelphia Rec
ord, appears this characteristic anec-
uote: ION one young English woman,
at any rate, BalZac himself made a
strong-if maybe a tempOrary-im-
preston, according to his friend Coz
Ian, as recorded in the entertaining
'Balzac on Pantoufes.' Gozlan met the
novelist II afternoon in the boule-
wards, hungry for dejeuner. Balzac
took him into an English confection-
er's in the Rue Royale. Having order
ed some macaroni pates he laid down
on the table some volumes he was car
rying. DO you know what that book
is? he asked Gozlan. No, my dear
Ralzac! Hearing Balzac's name, the
English girl behind the counter started
as If fascinated by it. Balzac did not
notice her. 1T is Pathfinder of Feni-
more Cooper And he poured out an
enthusiastic appreciation of the Ameri-
can novelist, forgetting his hunger,
forgetting where he was and every
thing but his subject. But you are
not eating said Gozlan. True re-
piled Balzac; and in three or four gar
gantuan mouthfuls, eating. laughing
and praising Cooper at the same time.
while he walked up and down the.
shop, he gobbled up four macaroni
pates, to the immense establishment Of
the girl, who was amazed that a man
who, as she had thought, would feed
upon flowers, air and perfumes.
should eat so greedily. What do |
owe you, mademoiselle?' said Balzac.
at length, satisfied. Nothing, Mon
sieur de Balzac,' answered the girl, in
a tone which admitted no contradic-
ton. Balzac looked at his friend,
hardly knowing how to reply to this
delicate attention. And then, after a
moments pause, he presented her with
Cooper's romance, saying: I have new
err so much regretted, mademoiselle,
that l am not the author of it,
1--WE do not know whether Balzac
ever saw the girl again. He was not
Of the nature Of Sterne. This incident
reminds one of the buffet scene in the
first act of 'Cyrano de Bergerac,' with
this one immense difference, that
Cyrano refused to accept more than a
grape and macaroon, while Balzac-in-
tending to pay, however-had eaten
