BEYOND CONTROL. Tlicre was a difference between John Cbapmaa and bis lfc, and the firt one to notice it was their only chili!, Char ley. The know ledge of it crept on !iin by degrees, almoet unconsciously ; and his mother wept her heart sore when he was fifteen, ami one SanLiv the belis were ringing fir holy hum and he aaid very defiantly and positively : "Father will not goto maiw and neith er will I." Mrs. Chapman was not able to openk when the boy made this annonncement, and when her tongue did release itself from iu excitement, all she could say w an : Well, Charley, too are a big boy now, almost beyond my control ; bat I beg you ait a mother who loves you and wishes; yoQ the bleating of Got!, to come to mats this morning and never mind what yonr father does." But the ly was stubborn and even angry. He let his mother's wotds pu. by as if they were an idle, uneless breath, and kept on fixing trap to catch rab bits, w hich he was determined to use on that very Sunday, and while nuuts was going on. The boy s titlier had gone off to a friend's bouse w here he usually spent the Lord's Day in playing canls and in other harmless auiusAtiients" as he called them. In every other respect than that of at tending to his religions duties, John i Caapinan was a node! man. He had a comfortable home, made so by his own industry, and in all his relations with his neighbors or men of business be was strictly honest ami npright. " It make the women and the chil dren good to go to church," he would an swer when any one spoke to him of reli gion. " But if a man does no harm, what is the nse of his bothering with the priests?" . . He had never a moment's sickness in his life, nor hail he met any serious troubles, which might have made him think and act differently ; and i never occurred to him that there was a poenibility cf such happening to him, as long as health and prosperity favored him with their pres ence. He le.Tthe management of the boy to his wife, and only concerned himself with the young fellow's chances in the world. He trained him np to his own business, and in doing so lie never once thought that he kept the boy more in his own company than in the mother's, and that there was a ?reat chance of his imi tating him in his ways rather than the mother. It to hapined that Charley watched his father so closely that he cot only be came known for his handiwork at his trade, but also, as can be perceived, for his negligence of christian duty. Mrs. Chapman went to church that morning alone, and her heart was the heaviest that entered the sacred portals. How could she kneel down in the pres ence of her God, felling that she deserv ed his grace ami blessings? Or, how could she look np to the sweet face of Mary, the truest of mothers, and ask for her heavenly intercession and favor? She hat! always given a good example to her husband and child, but could she not have done more? There was a dim mist hanging between her and the altar, and her eyes could only pierce it indistinctly. The priest was saying the mass, his hands ontst retched, and the lights were gleair.ing down on the shining vestments. But it appeared to her as if the altar ami priest were away off on a distant white cloud and the murmuring voice of the priest were an angel's song that was full of hope and consolation. But w hen the priest spoke and the tender words were borne to her ears, her heart grew light again. " Xo matter what your affliction lie," he said, " pray to God. Ask and yon shall re ceive ; knock and it shall be opened nnto you the great heart of the Lord Jesus The congregation bad all departed, the lights on the altar had lieen extinguish eL and solitary and alone the sanctuary lamp swung lie fa re the Tabernacle of Love. A Lint smell of incense lingered around the altar, and the virgin's form was failing away among the shadows when Mrs. Chapman left the holy place, her heart vowed to God to pray without ceasing for her husband's and child's con version. And some spirit told her, whis pered it in her ear as she passed down the aisle, that her prayer would be an swered. It was a roundabout route from the church to her home, and the heavy frost had covered the deep snow of the roads with a surface slippery and unsafe, A walk across the fields would be as easy as over the nntrodden roads, ami a sav ing of considerable time to Mrs. Chap man, who had already delayed too long in the church. Like the country people around, she bad come provided with a pair of rough stockings to draw over her shoe and keep her from tailing, and these she pat on and then took to the snow-clad ffeki. The sharp, raw "blast of midwinter blew in her fkee, and at times almost threw ber off tier Jeet ; but as they hurried past ber, almost deafen ing ber ears with tbeir shrieks, she thought they bore with them a cry of human agony. The nearer she drew to ber borne the more plainly did the cry appear to come front Buffering mortal, and a strange fear possessed ber. It did not weaken ber limbs but urged on her pace. - oilier SOMERSET, PA., WEDNESDAY, The cry might be from some friend or neighbor, lying injured on the icy ground and dying in the freezing atmosphere without any one to give asnsisUnce. Her home was on the top of a bill, anrl once she passed the valley which lay be neath it, she would leave her journey over, and she could get her husband and her boy to search the cry to its source. She spurred herself on witb this thought, but hastened into a run when she reach ed the valley and saw a few boys stand ing on the edge of the fee which covered a pond in the valley, and beheld the-n strnggling with all their strength to re lease a person who bail fallen through the ice, and, with only a head above the wa ter, was shrieking for help and assistance front the deadly grasp of the freezing waters. The boys saw her almost as soon as she saw them, and their voices rans; out on the clear air, chilling Iter heart to the very core: Hurry! Hurry! For God't sake! Charley is drowning ! Th3t phenomenon will never be ex plained this side of heaven, how a weak woman, a mother, can endure hardships and emerge from dangers with her child in which the strongest and the bravest men would meet with disaster and then fail. With a prayer to got! on her lips, she grasped the branch of a tree the boys had fruitlessly used to reach Charley, but her arms were too short, too, and the exhaus ted lad held out his hands for it in vain. Then she tried the strength of the ice, but it cracked under her weight. At lant she stooped down, and a retching herself out on the ice forthe length ot her own body, she pushed the tree branch, out r ahead of her, and the boy caught a firm hold of it. The fee broke off in pieces around him, yielding beneath his weight ami pressure. But he was draw ing nearer the brave mother, and his courage increased. It was like ah age of )ain snd misery, but the mother in the end clasped the boy safely in her arms and kissed his bruised and bleeding face. "he boys cheered, and np on the hill top, John Chapman stood like one trans fixed. He could not move cor stir, so oppress ed were his senses by the sight before him. It took weeks of careful nursing before Charley was able to leave his bed, and during all that time the patient mother, with the priest's words in her soul, pray ed and ministered to him. She hail grown pale and thin from ber labors and suffer ings, but there was nocomptuint, no mur mur of discontent John Chapman went to the boy's side night and morning, and during the long evenings when there was no sound in the house but the slow, reg ular ticking of the clock on the mantel, and the fitful and changing breathing of his child, he gazed long nl earnestly into the glowing embers of the fire, as if he were weighing some great question in his mind, and was trying to come to a de cision. Mrs. Chapman noticed his actions, but never said so in won!. She only prayed the harder. When the boy bad grown strong again and was able to sit np for a long time, John Chapman used to sit with him at the window, in the beginning of the evening, and watch the new leaves com ing out on the trees, and the little preen blades rising op out of the ground. They were so slow, he thought, but they were net a bit slower than the faint glows of returning health on the boy's face. "I heard more birds singing to-day, father, than I did for a week past," said Charley one evening. M Yes, they are nearly all back now ; and what do you think?' asked Mr. Chapman. " I realiy can't think anything," an swered Charley. "Well, one of those litt yellow birds flew into the shop to-day, and sat right on your bench, an 1 sung like a good fel low. It made me think you would soon be back there," said Mr. Chap man. How pretty ." exclaimed the boy, ami tears of joy sprang from his eyes. "Io you know what I think lately?" said Mr. Chapman, and bis strong, stal wart form trembled is he said it. "Xo, father, I do not," replied the boy. " I think that God has been very kind and good to us all." The boy reached his arms out in joy and placed them around his father's neck and the two cried there together. That mention of the name of God by the man who never mentioned it before had ac complished all. In a moment' time it had brought a peace and blessing to heart and home, and opened out a future in which the dark past was entirely forgot ten. . The mother's prayer bad been Lean, and the proudest little woman to enter the village church afterwards was Mrs. Chapman, leaning on her husband's arm and following in the wake of her hand some son. But the really happiest hour was when the three knelt together at the table of the Lord and received Him in thanksgiving who hsd gathered them un der the wings of His mercy and love. Bartholdi's Great Work. The statute of Liberty enlightning the world, which stands on Bedloe's Island, in the harbor of Xew York, is one of the most artistic conceptions of modem times. The torch of the god. less lights the nations of the earth to peace, pros perity ami progress, through liberty. But " liberty" is an empty word to the thou sands of poor women enslaved by phys ical ailments a hundredfold more tyran nical than Xero. To such sufferers Dr. Pierre's Fovorite Prescription holds forth the promise of a speedy cure. It is spe cific in all those derangements, irregu larities and weaknesses which make life a burden to so many women. The only medicine sold by druggists, under a posi tive guarantee from the manufacturers, that it will give satisfaction in every case or money will be refunded.

Parasols Must Match the Gown The parasol is worthy of rsytrhoiogic investigation. It has no apparent rea sonfor existence e.icept that woman wears a bonnet, and on the other hand there is no obvious reason why woman woman should wear a bonnet in warm weather except for the sake of carrying a parasol. The parasol is the crown and completion of the attire. It gives the last and characteristic touch, by which you may diagnose its owner. It is a sensitive sort of appendage and feels the least Butter of fashion's wings. This sum mer when fashion is riotous the parasol revels. When all array is bright witb gold lice snd fluttering with ribbons, rich, smiling, jubilant, as if there were never a care in the world, the parasol can hardly contain itself for exultation. This is a full-dress season and the parasol laughs outright, the dressist thing going. It is luxurious, happy, the very type of ctvilization, whose only leisure class is the w ives of rich men. The parasol is saucy sometimes. There was one in the Park yesterday which had a cock's scar let head and tail feathers nodding defi ance from its top. The parasol is com plexly, French ily, rural sometimes. One walked up Broadway this morning whose canopy was of pink ruses, with a fringe of leaves and buds about the brim. The parasol is coquettUb when it takes it into its head to be. Then it tnonnts a Fifth avenue stage and spreads itself on top, ail one Mutter of red and black or pink ami wite ribbons. The parasol plays the daint ily feminine when it likes. Then it covers tLtelf with lace point lace and hangs broad flounces down around it like a veiL The parasol has tailor-ma.le freaks, when it takes a simple coaching shape with no no ornaments or eccentricities. Parasols must match this year. A dres sy woman has a parasol corresponding to the stuff of every gown. When she goes out she chooses her parasol as she goes out she chooses her parasol as she does her bonnet to accord w ith her costume. Parasols are large this year, but not nov el in shape. There are fortunes in the lace of some of them and other fortunes in the jeweleiL handles. A piece of ex quisite hand-wrought lace, worth $Jo0 in itself, was bought the other day with a h.in l!e wiou-jht in s'lver. "I csn take the lace off vhen the season is over asd put it on a gown," was the excuse the lady gave, as if her conscience troubled her a little. Mme. Bloulet, the wife of Max O'Reil, took home a parasol when they sailed last week. It had a row of little birds perched around it on the ribs. I should not lelieve I had really seen it unlcsi I took it with me she said. A Case of Squelch. A Chicago dmtr.mer balanced his chin on th? edge of the seat in front of him, ant! tickled a sandy haired passenger's ear with the remark. " You've been in Chicago, of course? " - "Where?" - " - "Chicago." An uncertain look came into the san dy haired man s eyes. " Let me see," he mused retrospective ly 'pears to me I mnt have passed through there. I've traveled a good deal. I know I've heard the name before. What road is it on?" " Forty lines of road. It's the biggest railroad center on earth." " Xot bigger'n Crestline, Ohio, is it?" asked the passenger with an amazed ex pression. " I've seen seen four trains at once tt Crestlino wailin' to start off. Talk about noise, and confusion ! " The Chicago man's teeth began to chat ter. " Is Chicago a place where the trains stop for dinner?" " Xaw," saitl the disgusted drummer. "Chicago is the place where the passen gers stop for dinner." " Of course ; that's what I meant, ex plained the red headed man gently. "Fact is," be went on with confidential frankness, " I've traveled so much and been in so many different places in my lifetime that I tlont ptirtend to remem ber in re'n a quarter of 'em. What's the name of the hotel in Chicago? "There ain't any," said the drummer, gloomily. Then he walked forward to the fiiter, filled his mouth full of wafer, gargled his th met, wbooscd the liquor on the floor end his leg over the comer of the box. "Who is that evil eyed, pink haired, lumpy legged, prairie eared microbe at the other end of the car? he asked of the conductor who was passing through tle train. " Do you mean the gentleman looking out of the window?" " Ya'as." " He's a fish merchant from St Lous." Emancipation in Brazil. It would seem that the long struggle for emancipation of the colored race is coming to an end. And yet it has taken a quarter of a century to put an end to slavery in Brazil. The Brazilian Cabi net is prepared to favor legislation which fixes a day after which slavery shall not exist For very many years past the Brazil ians have been ganing experience and gradually learning the same lesson that emancipation learned the Southern plan ters, as a consequence of war. The mo ment free industry revived in the South the more intelligent at once saw that war had brought them a blessing, and that the system tliey had been upholding, for which they had rebelled, fought and bled, am! impoverished themselves, was wrong- in every possible aspect of the case, economically, morally socially and politically. War taught them this. But the Brazilians hiTe noticed the same fact and they have quietly educated them selves into the belief and conviction that emancipation would be a blessing to the country. For twenty-five years Brazil as a slave state has been impressed with the wisdom of emancipation in tlte United States, which baa been looked upon aa the exemplar of all the nations of this continent Here ia the favorite conundrum of Bishop Xeely, of the Maine Episcopal Diocese: "If Moses was the son of Pha roah's daughter, was he the daughter of Pharoah's son?" Yon don't quite see the point, do yoa? If two hyphens are put in their proper placet it will be clearer to yoo thns : If Moses was the son of Pha roah's daughter, was be tbe daughter-of-Pharoah's son ? Xo man can ever rise above that at which be aina. MAY 16, 1888.2 A Railroad Story. One the middle division cf the P. R. R. there is a tunnel ner Spruce Creek, Hunt ingdon county. They are telling a g-iod story about a new braketuen, in which this tunnel is conspicuous. Sjrae time ago a Tery pretty yonng lady got on the train at Spruce Creek, and as the car was very full she hat! to sit on the brake man's seat, which runs at riicht angles with the other seats in the car at the rear. Tne brakeman having uttered his Chotaw exclamation of "Spraw Chaw alksi for Spraw Craw, which being en terpreted means " Spruce Creek. A II out for Spruce Creek," ami duly shouted "Allabo," which means "All aboard !" the brakeman-having attended to this important part of bis duties, entered the car and took a seat beside the young lady. In the front of the car immediately be hind stood the conductor a n;ad wag and hes t the brakeman take a seat be- ( side the pretty girl. Instantly there (lushed into his mind the idea of a joke, and he earned it into effect. As the tram entered the tunnel, and evcrvtcing was in Cimmerian darkness, the coni'uc- tor slyly slipped into the forward car, stealthily approached the .young lady and kixeed her. Then he got back into disown car asquickiy as ne could. nen the train emerged into the broad davlight the waggish conductor beheld an irate yoong lady with her bands in the brakeman's hair, clawing him for all she was worth, while the astonl-hed passengers looked on and wondered wltt it all meant The young lady got off at the next station her destination and the conductor went forward to ak the brakeman what w as the matter. " Did you ever see such a performance in your life?" asked the disheveled brakeman, "we were going through the tunnel, when all at once that girl banned me one in the eye and then reached for my hair. I tried to get away, but she hung on to me and cuffed me until I'm sore, and she jawed and said she'd teach me to behave that way to an nprotceted female. I didn't do anything to her. She moat lie crazy, and she scratched my face so that I'll carry the marks for a month. I'll bet ten dollars that girl's crazy. Say, why do they have lunatic hospitals if they let her mn loose ? " And the brakeman bathed his scratch ed face, while the ronduct.jr went t ack on the wood box and nearly laughed him self into an apoplectic fit Somehow the story leaked out and I pic ted it up. Two Coyote Stories. A farmer op in the Capay valley ha just made the champion slaughter of coyotes, writes a San Francisco corres pondent These animals are a gre it pest to the sheep ow ners, and, though ex t reuie ly hard to catch or kill, make serious in roads upon the flocks. The sheep own ers have offered a reward of i!9 per coy ote scalp, and Frank Hambieton, the farmer in question, has just pocketed in bounties fSOO, the result of one ingenious bit of work. He had a long straw stack en his farm, which had been st in. ling for several years He noticed not long ago that a good many j holeshad been made in it am! that coyotes J were quite numerous aroundjit at nihgt. j : one evening ne set tire lo it, and rmi near by to watch developments. The straw was so damp from recent rains that ; the fire did not get to the inside of the j stack until after dark, and a good many of the beasts had smelled danger and escaped. But as it was, he raked out of the ashes the carcasses of forty coyotes, I old and yonng, that had been burned to death. Another coyote story is from a stock man, who has on his ranch a pair of superb staghounds which he brought from Scotland, from their cative kennel ut tbe foot of Ben Xevts. They are wonder fully docile and intelligent fleet as the wind and possess a marvelous amount rf strength and endurance. The wolf thev consider a foe worthy of their skill, and whenever they find one enter into a con test from which they soon come off vic torious. But they seem to consider the coyote an animal so despicable as to le worth only the most eontemptuons no tice. For onctoappear within their sight is to bring swift punishment upon itself. But the noble hounds feel so nint h con tempt for the animal that tht will not take its despicable life. They ai-ay bite off its tail close to its rump or pull it out by the roots, and having thus set the mark of their disdain open Mr. Oyrite, they let him go, while they carry home the tail as their trophy of the chase. To s ch an extent have they carried on this contemptuous warfare against the coyote race tliat their owner's ranch is strewn with caudal appendages, and bobtail co votes are the rale. Tools for the Garden. After a garden is plowed, a hoe, ma nure and shovel may be all tbe tools that are absolutely required fi r the cultiva tion of the garden ; but there is no good reason why there should not be a supply of implements that will save time end labor. Seeds of all kinds my be planted by hand, but that is not a reason why a seed drill that saves time and very tire some labor, should net be used to plant such as can be so planted. There are a variety of such implements. T.ie garden rake is an almoet indispensable imple ment in tbe garden and may very often be employed to better advantage than a hoe, in stirring the soil and uprooting weetls. A good farmer lias a variety (J tools of all kinds ; so, too, shoubj the good girdener. There should be hoes for different purposes and by all means a wheel hoe, it will accomplish so much in a short space of time, especially with such vegetables as onions beets, carrots, parsnips, etc There should be trans planters, tbe watering pot ami all kinds of implements that come into practice in a well ordered garden. The wheelbar row should be at hand to remove any rubbish that may accumulate, such as small stones, cornstalks, etc., that require transportation to unsightly placet 7er monfosm Trlrjrmik.

The king of beasts when con- oored is like a lamb, and tbe young lions are ta tied one at a time. Ft-r sev eral days he is well fed. He is tempted to thrust his fore paws out in front of the den. Over them is slipped a n. .. and the feet are then firmly tied down. The lion at once begins to roar, and thrash his tail and html less about the rae. After a time he quiets down and the keeper enter the cage. With a di-xter-oos movement a tail is drawn down over the lion's heaL Tlie keeper sometimes ! bestrides his back, an.! holds his seat by tightening his tegs around the hly and grasping the mane of the animal. In the head covering is usually a sponge, satura ted w it h about eii;ht ounce of chloroform. The lion will trv to ward off the keeper, bat :s powerless when his front jstws are tied down. Ia a moment nr two tiie Iicast becomes unconscious, tubertrain- j ers then enter tbe den. Great stnti..n 1 and care is exercised over the pulsations ot the lion s heart, the puise b felt nn- ; lcr the lower jaw the same as in a hore. ! It is dangerous to etherize or chloroform an animal of the cat src:es too severely, j and the instant the pulsations become at ail leeoie tne dose has to ts? l;:ifne-t.

The ca- i nine, bicuspids and incisors are cut iff J It requires re-.:t dexterity to know how i far in tiie crow n cut without laying the nerve bar?. After the operatii& on tbe teeth are finished, the keeper clips tbe i claws, and in a few moment the lion is j bereft of ills teeth and claws. A henvy : collar and chain are fastened around his neck, and when he comes to conscious- ness be is a very different beast from be- tore.

St. IaM-i i .ieJCfVlt Size of Potato Seed Pieces. During two or three years, beginning j six or seven years ago, the II. X. Y. gave j much time to an endeavor to tind out what sized iiieces and how many eyes to the piece would give the most profitable crop of potatoes. The result was in favor of large pieces with from two to three string eyes, ami this is tiie kind of seed we have used ever since. The seed is se lected from medium or targe, sized pota toes ; the "seed" end Is sliced off and the pottto cut into two or three pieces, ac cording to siie and number of eyes. If the eyes are close together, we sometimes cut cart several eyes, so as to give to the remaining two or three a larger propor tion of flesh. Given a strong eye or so it is deemed of importance that the eyes and resulting shoots should be supplied with ample food until roots from tl.e shoots enable them to secure f.yl from the soil. We regard the flesh as holding much the same relation to the shoot us the first leaves or cotyledons d to the tiny root of the seedling plant They nor.rish the root until it can act for it-eif. The shoot is a stem or planted cutting and from it issue both rx;ts and otlier stems, and it Is from the latter alone that the tuber (itself a stemi forms. Xow how many shoots should grow in a hill? In otlier words, how many eyes should lie planted? In the iJunir experiments above alluded to, as will appear from an examination of back numbers, as high as ten eves (separate) were planted in a hill. The yield in weight was, in many trials, as great as when fewer eyes were planted j that both will realiw the pleasures of but the quantity of marketable potatoes poverty tliey endured in youth.

We want strong ! eyes and strong shoots supplied with all j needed nourishment until they can sup- port themselves. If a shoot from a small ( piece of flesh is broken off, or frost bitten, or injured in any other way before rooU j have been formed, the shoots perii.fi be- ; eatue their scrrdv of food exhausted, not having made any connection witb ; tbe soil, and a missing hill is tbe cense- . qnence.
