Her Master Vas a Gentleman.

A Boston couple were recreating
near Augusta, and met an old negro
woman to whom they took a fancy.
They invited her to pay them visit,
and the colored woman accepted, es-
pecially as her expenses were to be
paid.
In due time she arrived in Boston
and was installed in the house of the
white folks. She was given one of the
best rooms. and ate at the same table
with her host and hostess.
At one of the meals the hostess said:

that even thus early this untangling

listened with a cynical smile. At the
end of the reading he was about to
shout with derisive laughter, when
Jim, springing forward, collared him,
and with tone utterly new to him,
said sternly:
Look here, Redi You and rs
friends-that's all right; but as sure
as I'm thief, this here amt no stuff
for Teller to laugh atr'
For an answer Red thrust his hands
into his pockets, eying Jim curiously
the while, and turned on one foot with
a long low whistle.
II never had no mother" murmured
Jim. "She died when 1 was a little
chap, so l never knew her, but it must
be awfully nice for a Teller to have
mother like that to be good to him,
and learn him things. Why, who

mothers like that Twin, instead of
bein' kicked round by tie boss, who
never gets enough out of US, we might
a had good schoolin' and been max

These words of regret upon the past
of his young life, and the expressed
desire for something better, from one
whose only home almost since in
fancy had been the street, and whose
companions had been crooks and
ne'er-do-wells, was too much for the
incorrigible Reddy, whose worship
consisted of heroes that were daring
villains, and not penitent sinners.
He could hardly suppress his con-

His hand dropped to his side. The
old man disappeared with the money,
safe from Jimmy's wicked fingers.
Jim's head sank until his chin rested
upon his naked chest, his companion
glaring at him with eyes furious with
anger.
"Well, 'tai'nt no use," said Jim,

In reply Reddy drew up one side of
his face, exposing his deep yellow
CANNES, pulled the remnants of a hat

Indians who have steadfastly refused

hundreds of the Indians have con-

was planned some of the members
were disturbed on account of its size.
They thought that the provision of so
large an auditorium was entirely I'M
called for, the attendance at that time
being only about $50.
Mrs. Eddy, organized the First
Church of Christ, Scientist, in Boston
in 1879 with twenty-siX members. So
slow was the growth of the movement
at first that in 1889, ten years later,
there were only eleven churches.
From that time, however, the increase
was more rapid. In 1899, there were
301 churches. There are now 657
churches and 275 societies not yet or
ganiZed as churches, making 932 So
cieties holding church services. In
1889 there were only $50 members in
the entire connection. In 1894 the
total membership was 2,536. Five
years later it had reached 1874.
These figures show that the principal
growth has taken place during the
past seven years. The membership at
the present time is about 1900.
The dedicatory exercises were at
tended by visitors from all parts of
the United States and Canada, from
Great Britain, Australia, Sweden, Den
mark, France, Germany, Switzerland,
the Hawaiian Islands, South America
and other foreign countries.
One hundred and forty-five church
edifices have already been erected by
the Christian Scientists. These, as a
whole, compare favorably with those
of the older denominations. 1t is
said that when funds are no longer
needed for the completion of the
Mother Church a large number of
buildings will be commenced in diff
ferent parts of the country.

The dedication in June of a mag
nificent new addition to the Mother
Church of the Christian Science de-
nomination, in Boston, was an event
OF the highest significance in the his
tory of this religious body.
Built as the result of spontaneous
recognition of Mrs. Eddy's lifework and
of the imperative demands of the mar
Vicious growth of the movement. ex-
pressing the liberality of thousands of
Christian Scientists, and embodying
the best in architectural design and
modern construction, this new building
was logically the central feature of
this years gathering.
The church is one of the largest, if
not the largest in the United States,
its seating capacity being SOP. Its
style of architecture is Italian Renais-
sance. The pews and other interior
finishings are of mahogany. The
walls are Concord granite and Bedford
stone, with beautiful decorative cary
ings. The inside finish is a soft gray
to harmonic with the Bedford stone
columns supporting the dome. The
height of the building to the top of the
lantern is 224 feet, just one foot higher
than Bunker Hill monument. The
dome is eighty-two feet in diameter
and is covered with terra Gotta to
match the Bedford stone. The build
ing presents stately, dignified and
impressive appearance, and it is al
ready recognized as one of the land
marks of Boston.
The cost of the building is some
thing less than 100000. The new
chimes consist of eleven bells, the
largest Of which weighs 1000 pounds.
The smallest bell weighs 400 pounds.
The organ is one of the largest and
finest in the world.
The original Mother Church" which
adjoins the new building seats about

are required to accommodate the attend
ance. 1t is said that when this edifice

scope, which will merely detect and re-
cord the fact that there has been an
earth tremOr. Some of these are so
equipped as to indicate the time of
the disturbance.
Second is the seismometer, the func-
ton of which is to measure the maxi
mum force of the shock, either with or
without an indication of its direction.
The third instrument is the seismo-
graph, which is so arranged that It
will accurately record the number, sue
cession, direction, amplitude and
period of successive oscillations. The
last instrument is by far the most
delicate of the three.
In the construction of this earth
understanding machine the maker
must so suspend a heavy body that
when its normal position is disturbed
in the most infinitesimal degree, no re.
dictionary force will be developed
tending to restore it to its original
position. The inventor has never been
found who could accomplish this sus-
pension Of body to perfection. The
seismograph of to-day, however, has
reached stage Of perfection where
close approximations are obtained in
the records made.
The complementary part of the in
strument is composed of a system oe
levers connecting an astatically sus-
pended body with various surfaces
that are moved by clockwork. These
surfaces are constructed of highly SEN
sitive material, on which needles play
as the suspended weight responds to
the vibrations of the earth's crust.

chimes are capable of recording the

City where Signora Genaro, who re-
Gently came to this country from
Naples, was walking the other day with
her seven-year-old son, Antonio, for an
airing. While she was watching a
passing steamboat the little chap
frisked along the pier and then
splash, into the river.
The mothers shrieks were heard by
a patrolman. He jumped into boat
Amador ledger., 1906-07-27

and fished out Antonio. The police
man had only one oar, and it was
awkward work getting to the boy and
lifting him into the boat.
When the signora saw that her son
was safe the anguish in her face gave
way to look of resolute purpose, and
as the dripping Antonio was placed on
the wharf she laid him across her knee
and did what Neapolitan and other
mothers have done to their erring
