Growing ola Gracefully.

The Lord helping me, when I am really and truly an old woman when there is no further gainsaying the fact; when I can no longer keep step with the music or join in the song, I shall take my seat in the corner "like little man, ]" and leave the world to young folks. It is the old folks who keep hopping to and fro to the youngsters Adding who help keep things in an uproar. Why not grow old gracefully, as long as there is no appeal from the cast-iron law of advancing yearsG What if an old captain who chanced to be riding on ship manned by crew of young and competent men should insist upon hinging them all into a corner and running the ship after a navigation chart of fifty years ago, planned for another and distant seal What the confusion on ship board would be in such case is but a faint symbol of what things are in home where the old folks meddle and interfere in the conduct of af- fairs of which they know as little as the old captain knows of the new chart and the new sea. love old folks, but I love them in easy chairs and snug corners, graceful, repose- ful and acquiescent.-Chicago Her ald

Pathetic Appeal of an old Man Who
 Couldn't Get Gait On.
 sCome, get a gait on there9" angrily exclaimed a little, purple faced individual on Market street yesterday, as he filed into a narrow space between couple of piles of boxes upon the sidewalk. In front of him, picking his way through sundry pools of water, was the old man addressed. His pace wasn't t very fly, to be sure; but his appar- ent feebleness would have served in the mind of any one, perhaps, but that of censcienceless snob as an extenuation of his slowness.
 The old man had just got through the labyrinth and was about to step aside to let the choloric individual pass, at the same time turning upon him look of meek protest, when his foot struck against a piece of plank and he fell, striking his head upon the pavement. The little man was in too great haste to do any thing but bestow upon the prostrate form a growl and a curse, and then hurry on.
 Its always the way" said the poor man to fellow pedestrian who had spoken kindly to him. "It's move along!' and 'get a gait 2 from morning till night. I'll bet that mans got good job and plenty to eat There's big difference be- tween being one of the ins and being one of the outs. "-Philadelphia Times.

The Perfect Man.

Rev. M. T. Savage, of Boston, gives his idea of the perfect man. He will be:
 A perfect animal.
 A trained, clear-seeing, unbiased intellect, whose one thirst is fol truth.
 A taste that sees and appreciates all beauty.
 A heart that loves all lovely things.
 A sympathetic benefcence that would have all men lifted to the highest.
 A soul or spirit that recognizes kinship with the Eternal Spirit an6 ever aspires toward fuller spiritua life.
 These all blend in one being, no- that he has these things, but ii these. .-Womankind.

Would Annihilat. n Division

The new German artillery, which will shortly be introduced, is said to be the most terrible war instrument ever produced. Experiments made at the Interbogk ranges deeply inn pressed the experts, the kaiser being present. The first shot, fred at a target placed fifty paces from a wood, missed the target, but plowed it. way through the wood for 1900 feet. The splinters of shell burst by the new powder over circle of 900 feet. A shell fired at an enormous target, constructed by the emperor's S orders, covered it with tens of thousands of holes. A battery of the new artillery would, it is assured, annihilate an entire division, once the range was found.

 Preliminary studies for these buildings should be submitted to the chief of con struction as soon us possible, iii order that he may indicate his opinion before the work of preparation is far advanced.
 In the construction of the Arkansas building, it is contemplated to use the na- tive woods of the state, together with the brick, terra cotta, marble, granite and other varieties of building stone in such parts of the building as will produce the best effects in advertising such products The disposition of such material will be left to the judgment of the architect, who will indicate it in his plans. The plan of the building should be such that the cost of it's construction may be reduced if nee essary. It is the wish of the committee that the plans and specifications herein asked for win be submitted not later than March 15. In limiting proposals for plans to the architects of Arkansas, we appeal to their state pride, and hope to hear from all of them.

A Barge sunk .

CAIRO, ILL, Feb. 13.-Thursday afternoon the steam tug "Thesus" went to Lees Landing, twenty miles below here, to tow up barge con taining 2216 sacks of corn and thir- ty negro laborers. The cargo sunk the barge nearly to the top decks, but no trouble was experienced un- til last night, when they met the "City of Savannah. 7 The waves of the Savannah" washed over the decks of the barge, causing her to fill with water and sink. As she went down she drew the tug on beam, and she would have foundered, too, but for the prompt action of the crew in cut ting the lines and allowing her to right herself. One man was knocked overheard but was rescued. The corn and barge will prove total loss.
