Prompt Action.

Martin S. Decker of New York is one
of the Public Utilities Commissioners OF
New York, body OF men with sweep
ing jurisdiction over the street and
steam railways and the gas and electric
companies of the state.
Mr.. Decker, discussing the dutios II
his new post the other day, said:
ours Is work that must be done with
the utmost prudence and care. Nothing
must be undertaken by us hastily, OF
else we shall find ourselves in the posi-.
tion Of the new school superintendent.
"There was, YOU know, new supcrin.
tendent appointed to a certain school
d jealous man, but choleric and hasty
one as we'll.
"Now it happened that on the day OF
his arrival at the school, while he was
working hard in his Office, a maddening
noise arose in the room next to him.
"The superintendent stood this noise
as long as he could. Then he looked
over the glass partition into the up
roarious room and saw among the noisy
lads assembled there a tallish chap who
seemed to be making more Of row than
all the rest combined.
BESIDE hlmseH Win rage, the super
intendent reached out his arm, seized the
tall boy by the collar, dragged him over
the partition and banged him down into
chair beside his desk.
sNow," he said, sit stiIl there, and
don't open your lips till give you the
word,
"Then he bent over his papers, and in
the ensuing quietude worked away
busily.
"Sone fifteen minutes passed. Then
the head OF small boy peered timidly
over the partition, and meek little
voice said;
Please, sir, you've got our teacher"

asleep, his new magazine over his face,
in the shade Of the bushes that grew
back of the summer house.

Darrell rose and started toward the
house. I'm going to finish my letter

And he walked down the path whis-

Harrington sat up, let his magazine
fall unnoticed to the ground and brush

His gray eyes were twinkling as he
crept into the summer house.
He caught the startled girl In his
arms. "a man has a perfect right to
kiss the girl he's going to marry In

FIah Do Not Hear.

Much controversy has taken place on
the question Of the sense Of hearing in
fish, and many experiments have been
tried with a view Of settling It, Some
of the latest of these are those of which
NJ. Marage has given an account in the
Paris Complies Rendus The fish ex.
perimented with were carp, tench, pike,

evidence Of a sense Of hearing. Sounds

effecting deaf mutes. No effect was
produced on the flsh.-Forest and

AFTER A LONG SEARCH.

Burlington, Aug. 22.--Mrs. Julia from
blay, widow, aged 62, of 80 King street,
and her son, George Chandler of Spring.
field, Mass, have met after 81 years,
during which time the son had sought
in vain for his mother,
Mrs. Tromblay is widow for the
fourth time, which accounts in large
measure for the difficulty her son exper-
fenced in finding her.
Her first husband was Solomon La
voucher of Ellenburg, n Y, by whom
she had two children, the family resid-
ing in Ellenhurgh. Upon his death she
was married to one Chandler and two
more children came, Of whom one was
George, OF this tale. George was born in
Georgia, this state, but the family being
in poor circumstances, he, with the other
Chandler girl, was 'farmed out" his lot
falling in with one Joseph Nephew of
Ellenburg. He was then child OF two
years. The elder Chandler died about
this time and the twice made widow
after reasonable period OF mourning
was married to John Derry. Four more
children came, making eight in all, and
Mr.. Derry died. Then came Julius
lioubldyf ailu bhsg we're muIlitu. IEOih-
blay was drowned.
The frequent changing Of names Of
his mother and her removal from place
to place, coupled with the fact that
many years Of his life were spent as
cowboy in the west, made it doubly
hard for Chandler to find her when he
again came east. Clue after clue was
followed up until as last, through a
friend in Alburg, he found her in Bur
lington, after 81 years.
Mrs. Tromblay resides at 80 King
street. She was seen yesterday by a
reporter and eorroborated the above
story which had previously been told
him by her son. She is remarkably
young appearing woman, with pleas
ing address Three of her daughters live
here.

opposite end a, knee cushion. Beneath the
knee cushion is metal plate to prevent
friction. In using the device the teeth are
set in the carpet at a requisite distance
from Its edge, the operator then forcing
the device forward. One Of the important
advantages Of this stretcher is the ability
to hold 1t with the knee, permitting the
operator to use both hands to drive the
