Three small boys hid behind a hedge. An old gentleman who owned the orchard and was walking about un der the trees heard the apples fall and poked about for them with his cane. Six small feet twinkled over the grass. Presto! No magician ever made apples disappear more wonder fully, more quickly or more com pletely. In a second more six bright, laughing eyes peeped down from the tree where the old gentleman was still poking away in the grass. “Peste!” said the old man. “I must have been mistaken. At any rate it is dinner time, and one cannot spend one’s day looking for apples. Be sides, my eyes are bad, my ears not so keen as they used, and I don’t feel like a boy any longer. I will send a servant for them. ” Then the old gentleman hobbled out of the orchard toward his house. In a twinkling three small boys, brown as berries, were at the foot of the tree, each with a great apple. One look, a laugh, and they were off over the meadows. “11a! ha! papa!” they cried as they rushed pellmell into the family din ing room. *‘\Ve have teased the old man at the corners to his fill and for once we’ll have a feast on the old miser’s apples that I believe nobody but himself ever tasted before. “How is this?” cried the father, furious. “You stole the old man’s apples! You young rascals, wait un til I thrash you thoroughly for this.” “But we did it only to tease him,” cried the children, “and to give him a lesson besides. He is so miserly.” “You must be punished,” said the father. “No!” cried the grandmother, sit ting in her chair. “It was a jest, William, and the children shall return the apples. But they shall not be punished.” “You are too easy with the chil dren, mother. They will turn out thieves.” The old lady smiled placidly. “Children,” she said, “I once knew a little boy whose mother was very lenient with him. He had many troubles at school and he always came home to his mother and she soothed him. The boys about him said he had a jolly mother, and so they came, too, sometimes to be soothed. But this little boy kept getting into trouble continually. Once even he got into an orchard and robbed it. Once be took down a bird’s nest with eggs in it—but then he was sorry when he saw how grieved the mother-bird was —and his mother knew there was much good in him because he grieved for the mother-bird. Yet he was al ways in trouble, and it took all his mother’s tenderness to have patience with him. Once he was caught in an orchard, and then he had a hard tune of it, for the dogs were set on him and the farmer ran after him with a pitch fork,and there would have been great trouble had he not reached his mother's arms before the dogs caught him. ” The boy’s father reddened and walked over to the window. The old lady’s eyes followed and a tender light filled her face. The boys saw the situation at a glance. “Ah ha! it was you, papa!” they cried, “you were grandma's culprit. It is you who must make confession now.” The grandmother smiled again and said: “The riddle is solved, and you see, boys, in spite of his mother’s leniency, what a good man your fath er has turned out to be. And now, children, after dinner you will return the apples to the old man with an apology.” ilien the old lady rose and walked over to her son and placed her hand lightly on his shoulder. “We must be lenient with youth, William, for it is the perfume of our old age. The children have the world to romp in when they are young— Time will give them no such lordship again.” Just then the father caught sight of the boys playing leapfrog below, lie laughed and hallooed to them. “Be off to the woods, boys, and be sure to bring home a birch switch for me to use on myself when I am for getful. And don’t forget the biggest and finest nosegay you can pick for grandmamma, to whom, next to God, we owe all the blessings we have in life.”—N. Y. Advertiser. Wonders of tile Microphone. One of the most curious instruments which the development of electrical science has brought into being is the microphone. It embraces within itself almost the whole principle of the modern telephone, and with it may be performed a series of experiments which, aside from being interesting, are wonderfully significant of what we may expect from its development in the near future. By its aid the footsteps of a fly walking on the stand on which it is placed is clearly heard, and give the sensation of a horse’s tread, and even a fly’s scream, es pecially at the moment of death, is easily audible. The rustling of a feather or a piece of dress goods on the board of the instrument, and com pletely inaudible under ordinary cir cumstances, are distinctly heard in the microphone. The ticking of a watch is rendered verv loud at quite a distance from the receiver. A musical box placed in connection with the instrument transmits so much sound as to render it impossible to distinguish individual notes. A cur rent of air blown sharply on the instrument sounds like a distant trickle of water. And the rumbling of a carriage outside the house is transformed into a very intense crack ling noise, not unlike the sound of the burning of pine logs. The instrument in appearance as sumes various shapes, inasmuch as the very simplicity of its principle admits of its being made of various substances and in almost any form. All that is necessary for its simple working is in having what is known, technically, as “loose contact”—that is, an electric circuit whose continuity at some point is capable of being varied. As an instance, then, three nails make one of the best of mi crophones. Two of the nails are laid on a board parallel to each other, and say one-half inch apart The other nail is laid across the first two, the latter being meantime connected to a battery cell and a telephone receiver. If a fly, for instance, be confined in a small box, and the latter placed on the board on which the nails are laid, the slightest vibration caused by the movement of the feet will render the unstable contact of the nails still more unsteady, and by thus altering the force or amount of the electricity which passes, will reproduce in the telephone receiver an exact but much magnified fac-sinile of what is taking place in the box.—Harper's Young People. A Long-Legged Chap. Every animal and bird has its own way of seeking its food. Some are hunters and some fishers. Some se cure their prey by stratagem and some by force. Each one works ac cording to his nature and to the means which have been given him. The heron is a bird who gets his dinner by patience and watching. He is fondest of fish, although he does not despise an occasional frog, or even a mouse or a rat if he is verv hungry. So he wades out a little distance in the water, for he has good, long legs, has this heron. Then he stands in the water—some times on both his legs, sometimes on one—and waits for an hour or two, or perhaps longer, until some foolish ox daring little fish comes close enough for him to snap at it with his long bill. And when he makes a snap at a fish Mr. Heron is so good a snap-shot that the fish has become the heron’s dinner befoi-e he has time to think about it. Some herons build their nests in the tops of trees. The nests are very large and are clumsily built of sticks and twigs. But they ai-e so high up that Mr. Hei-on fears no danger from adventurous small boys, who might otherwise want to add herons’ eggs to their collections. There are many kinds of herons. The common variety is the grray heron, and the most beautiful is the white heron, whose long silky white feathers ai-e much used for hat trim ming. Mr. White Heron is hunted for his beautiful feathers, while his com mon gray brother is suffered to live in peace, because he isn’t pretty enough to be killed. How Folly and Peter Keep House. My uncle is threshin: with Freddy; My mother has gone to the fair. I’ve vowed to be steady a* stead/. And baby, she’s t ed in her chair; I must brush up the hearth to look neater, And put all the teacups away— There's no one to help me but Peter, And Peter—why Peter's at play. lust hear how the turkeys are crying, And the calf is as hun ry as two: I’ll see if the cherries are drying. And then there's the churning to do; In summer we churn in thi cellar So baby can come there to stay— I must think of a story to toll her While Peter—but Peter's at play. It is time that the chicken was over. And my mending is scarcely begun— Here's Peter come up from the clover, And we never have dinner till one: I'll make this sauce a bit sweeter And bring out some cakes on a tray— He must be well treated, poor Peter. He do?s work so hard at his play! —Dora Read Goouale. in St. Nicholas An Indoor Bird’s Nest. One of the queerest places for a bird's nest was discovered last spring. Between two carved roses at the top of a marble column in the millinery department of a large store a cosy nest was built. Tinj’ threads of silk and cotton were gathered bv the tiny housebuilders from the floors, and crumbs picked up from places where ladies had nibbled cakes and bonbons. The birds darted here and there, seemingly as happy among laces and ribbons and artificial flowers as are their mates in field and forest, being not one whit abashed by the throngs of shoppers coming and going con stantly. A I.ittle Hoy’s Faith. A boy of 6 knelt by the bed of his mother, who was ill, and prayed. Arising he exclaimed with a bright face: “Now, mother, I know you will soon be well.” “Do you really believe God will cure mother when you ask him?” “Of course I do; if I didn’t why should I ask him?” Rather Mixed. A paper in India, on the day of its birth, came out with two blank pages, and in one of its columns announced with unconscious simplicity that somo “specially interesting matter” had been held over “for want of space.” Another journal printed this brief announcement: “Our next paper day falling on Christmas day, the next issue of this journal will not appear.” Two to One. “Mother, do you know that when you whip me there is always two to one?” said Harry. “How is that, my son?” “You and the switch; you ought to : let the switch go it alone”’ I The citizens cant el M6G00K INCORPORATED UNDER STATE LAWS.
