DAMAGE BY THE STORM SATURDAY
The storm Saturday afternoon did consider
able damage In different sections of the Dis
trict. IL was especially destructive in and
about Georgetown. At the Intersection OF
Market and LIST streets the sewer openings
could not relieve the cutters, and the wood
pavement was all aioat and has been COM
p'etely wrecked. The Tth-street road, be-
tween Georgetown and the drove yard, was
badly washed In several places and about
one hundred feet OF the new stone wall on
the canal road were washed out. Numbers
OF trees were blown down In Washington
and Georgetown. The line of trees on z
street near the bridge suffered badly. A
dangerous hole was made in the carriage
way O1 18th street, between New York ave-
nue. and street, northwest. Many OF the
young trees on the line of X and L. streets
were broken down, and some of the thrifty
Domoardy poplars on street, between 18th
and 18th streets, on the line of the old canal.
The force OF the storm broke down the end

were overlooked in various locations where
the sewerage Is insufficient to carry off the

flooded.

Of all the people who live at the Cen

are thoroughly contented and happy. 1t
makes no difference to them whether
the potatoes are Watery, the meats dry,
er the soup thin; and they don't care
pin whether people talk to them or not
In fact, they live in a little world OF

each other. They all try to act as
though being married was an old story

That Memphis Frog.

In reference to the frog found by
Assistant Engineer Murray in the mid
die OF one of the paving stoLes taken up
from the landing, of which an account
was Published in the Memp his papers at
the time, the Philadelphia Day has the
following to say
a blue limestone paving block has
been in the streets of Memphis, Tenn,
fifteen years. 1t was recently broken
no in order to be fitted into a new place,
and 10 little frog hoped out and was
frisky. If Professor Huxley will allow
it, the little frog may tell as loud story
as Niagara Many thousands of years
ago that little frog may have taken a
nap in the mud and got irretrievably
stuck; fresh deposits buried it, and in
the lapse of ages the mud became stone,
and ten thousand years after the block
was cut out of the Ohio river quarrIes.

frog might tell if no could cFoak intelli-

Growing Old Gracefully.

Spurgeon says 81 doenot know a
more beautiful sight on earth than a
man who has served his Lord for many
years, and who, having grown gray IN
service, feels that in the order of nature
he must soon be called home. He Is
rejoicing in the first fruits of the spirit
which he had obtained. bat he is painting
after the full harvest of the spirit which
is guaranteed to him think l see him
sitting on a jutting crag by the edge of
Jordan, listening to the harpers on the
other side, and waiting till the pitcher
shall be broken at the fountain, and the
wheel at the cistern, and the spirit shall
depart to God who gave it. A wife wait
ing for her husbands footsteps, a child
waiting in the darkness of the night till
SIS mother comes to give it the evening
kiss, are portraits Of our waiting. Ii is
a pleasant and precious thing to wait
and 30 to hope.
