Revived Memory.

About IS years ago, upon rainy
day, small boy who had reached the
mature age of six. was sitting with his
mamma and bemoaning the state of
the weather and accompanying absence
of novel entertainment. Mamma wore
on her finger beautiful ring that was
a family heirloom, and as she sowed
patiently the jewel glittered on her
little white hand. The small boy
regarded the bright bauble for some
time in silence and then sweetly re-
quested mamma to take it off and let
him play with it. 1t was a weak thing
to do, perhaps, but she complied. l
say there are mothers at the prerent
day who can sympathize with her, for
human nature is the same, though
fashions change, and when the "dear
child" looked up in her face plead
ingly he looked with papa's eyes,
and papa was dead. So he got
the ring and lost it, as might
have been expected. He always in
sisted that he "put it away to keep"
but he could never remember where.
The years went on. The gentle
young mother went out into the
great unknown to find the light of
her life that shone in "papa's eyes"
and the century and the boy having
been young together grew old in
company too. Finally age began to
tell on him, The century got
troubled with complaint desig
mated "fn de siecle,'' and the boy
lost his memory fox the things of
today, but.became normally remis
nicent in regard to the past. His
thoughts often turned back to the
young mother long dead, and in
the decline of life he had as clear
a mental picture of her as his boy
ish eyes had ever seen. One evening,
having pushed his spectacles on top
of his head and hunted everywhere for
them vainley, he sat musing before
the fire, when suddenly flood of
light illuminated that dark corner
of his memory where hung the
picture of that small edition of him
self losing or quitting away" the
ring. He sprang to to his feet with
an excited cry: "The ringl The
ring! | slipped 1t down the crack
in the window casing-the one that
looks out on the orchard!'
Upon investigation the ring was
brought from it's long hiding place.
which was the exact spot the o,d
man had described.

NJ. W. Clay In Little Rock.
Gazette.

Gazette.
A railroad man of considerable prom
inence in the person of M. w. Clay, of
Neosho, Mo-, has been in Little Rock
several days on business pretaining to
the affairs of the Springfield, Little
Rock and Gulf railroad. He has been
comforting with the local representa-
tives of that proposed road and it is
understood he has under consideration
an offer to connect himself with it's
inteaest in an important capacity.
Mr.. Clay is an interesting individual.
He was president and general manager
of the Kansas City, Ft. Smith and
Southern road until it was acquired by
and changed to the Kansas City,
Pittsburg and Gulf. now one of the
greatest roads in the Southwest.
Lately Mr.. Clay has been associated
with project known as the Missouri,
Arkansas and Southern railroad,
designed to run from McElheny,
Newton county, to Clarendon. Last
week he Sold out his interest in the
project to H. G. Pendleton, of the Pee
Gee, and it is understood the same
capital back of the Pee Gee will push
the projected road to completion.
Being the father Of the Pee Gee, Mr..
Clay is therefore not to be overlooked
as figure in railroad matters.
In an interview yesterday with a
Gazette reporter, Mr., Clsy said he
had nothing to disclose except in a
general way. AS to his rumored
probable connection with the Little
Rock and Gulf, he had nothing to
give out as yet. But be was free to
state that beyond doubt actual work
will commence on that road, made
famous by the Smith bill, within a
couple of months. He admitted to be
true that the company has met with
some obstacles in the financial centers.
to thawrt the plan to build the road,
but this influence, potent as it is, has
not been successful to the extent of
preventing the consumation Of
financial arrangements. According
to his statements, everything is prac-
ticaly settled favorably. Mr.. Clay
has spent some time in Northern
Arkansas. He knows the country to
be one of the finest sections the sun
shines upon and intact he is most
favorably impressed with Arkansas
and thinks it con tains hundreds of
ragged millionaires" who would
become wealthy in fact. were there
railway connection in the undeveloped
sections of the state.
His statement that work on the
Springfield and Little Rock will
commence shortly tallies with infor-
nation given ont through Board Of
trade sources in this city.

THE KAISER AND Mr.. FIRTH.
Small Princes First Attempt at
Painting Was Disastrous.

Although Prof. knackfuss is usually
credited with assisting the kaiser in
the production of his surprising pic
lures, the German monarch owes his
earliest introduction TO the mysteries
of art to an English painter, says the
London Chronicle. The first time the
kaiser handled brush was at Wind
sor, when Mr.. Firth was painting the
picture of the prince of Wales mar
riage for the queen. All the royal per-
sonages gave sittings TO the artist and
the kaiser, then Il little,four-ye
prince, spent several mornings in the
room where the picture was being
painted. TO keep the child quiet Mr.
Firth gave him some paints and brushes
and allowed him to dabble on one of the
unfinished corners of the canvas.
As n natural result of this very in
judicious proceeding the princes face
was i'm n very few minutes covered with
strea<s of green, blue and vermilion.
The sight of his smeared face terrified
his goyerness, who begged the artist
TO remove the colors: and Mr.. Firth.
armed with rags and turpentine, had
nearly completed his task whn the
pungent spirit found its way into
scratch upon the chilfs cheek. The
future kaiser screamed with pain. as
saulted the eminent painter with his
fists and hid himself under large
table, where he yelled until he was
tired. Mr.. FIRTH declares in his Rem
iniscences" that the little prince
showed a most unforgiving spirit and
reyenged himself afterward' by sitting
so badly that the painter failed alto
gether to produce a satisfactory like

FINAL "a" BAD FOR SHIPS.
Some Recent Wrecks Were Guilty of
That Lack of Foresight.

Insurance underwriters look askance
at vessels which have a final "a in
their names. The first letter of the
alphabet is considered hoodoo when
it ends the name of deep sea ship.
Many Of the most serious wrecks of
the last year have been Of vessels carry
ing the hoodoo letter.
One day lately, says the San Fran
cisco Examiner, the telegraph an
nounced that the British ship Androsa,
from that port for Liverpool with one
of the most valuable cargoes that was
ever carried out Of that harbor, was
lost within a few leagues of her desti-
nation. The next day word was re-
ceEed that the Orealla, bound from Vic
toria for Liverpool, had been swept by
heavy seas and badly damaged. Her
mate and one sailor were drowned. The
wires told on the same day of the total
loss of the British ship Nillanta and the
drowning of her master near Free
mantle, and few days later the papers
gave the news of the loss of the steamer
Wallapa and of the Bleaching of the
Dora in Alaska waters.
During the last two or three years
the most serious wrecks on the coast
were of vessels whose names ended with
the hoodoo letter. The wreck of the
Colima was the most horrifying of all.
I hen came the loss of the steamer CO.
lumbia, and a few weeks later the pas
scnger steamer Umatilla ran ashore and
narrowly escaped destruction.

According to the Baltimore News the
farmers Of Maryland are becoming in
terested in the movement for general
cultivation Of tobacco and for the intro
duction of the raising of rice. In earlier
days tobacco was grown throughout
the state, but for the last half century
1t has been confined to the counties of
southern Maryland. Rice has never
been grown in the state, but the recent
success with this crop in lower New
Jersey has led many TO think that it can

TIE HUNGARIAN LANGUAGE.
Il Is IN DO Way Related to the Ger
man.

utterly fail 10 see where English
men have received the impression that
the Hungarian language is IA sort OF
anderling dialect of German, says a
writer in Nineteenth Century. Ger
man and English, as is well known,
are Aryan languages. Hungarian is no
Aryan language at all. Its very char
acter is opposed TO that Of the German
idiom. Ii German or English may
fairly be compared TO tree, the
branches and fruits of rhich are in
deed visible. the roots of which. how
ever, are underground and hiddenaway,
the Hungarian language is like a tree
the roots OF %hich are almost visible,
and by kind of linguistic Roentgen
photography we can almost watch the
sap of the roots rising into the stem
and branches. 1t is, in other words,
agglutinatiye.
The first syllable Of each word repre-
sents the root of the word; lenses or
pronouns are soldcrcd on TO the root.
1t is originally the language of nomad
and rowing tribes anXious'y clinging to
their word roots for fear Of losing all
means Of understanding one another
OF German words in Hungarian there
is only a handful, and they are used
mostly as clowns and iestmakers in
the courtlv avenues Of Hungarian son
tences. Tie lIungarians DO not detest
the Germans. but they do not like them
either. The German, known to the
Magyars chiefly in his Austrian mani
festation. does not appear a model
worth initiating. The Austrian is POI
Gte, amiable, industrious. but, before
anything else, pleasue-loving.

OF POLITICAL IMPORTANCE.
Rapid Increase OF Population in Germany
Need of an Outlet.

Rapid Increase OF Population in Germany
Need of an Outlet.
The rapid increase of population in
Germany, due, il is believed, to the in
crease of manufactures, is becoming of
political Importance, says the Specta-
tor. According TO the corrected return
of the census, taken on December 2,
1895, the empire now contains SABA
500 inhabitants, while France contains
only 390O0,OO0. The Germans, more
over, add at least 100000 to their
number every tes years, while the
French may be said not to increase at
oil. AS both countries train every
available man, the German army must
always be greater than the French, and
In another generation will be greater
by more than third. Again, it is
doubtful whether Germany, which is
naturally q far poorer country than
France, can long sustain It's population,
which must, therefore, either emigrate
In increasing numbers or burst out in
some direction into lands less over
full. 1t is believed to be a clear per-
ception of these facts which makes some
ruling men in Germany so eager for q
dependency into which Germans
might swarm. They would not swarm
even if they got one. The idea of the
German emigrant Is to escape official
dom, not TO replace himself under il in
q country beyond the seas.
