ira Keep quiet"

The gift of speech is a great gift:
out the gift of silence is also very
valuable. There is time to speak and
there is a time to be silent; and one
time to be silent is when you have
nothlng to say. There is a story of
one man who was making a some
what lengthy address to some children.
forgetting how weary little folks be-
come, until at length, having pretty
i much run out of ideas. he said:
What more shall say?" when one
Httle urchin spoke up and said:
Say amen. and sit down." a sug-
gestlon which the speaker was quite
prompt to follow.
A Sunday school speaker tells of a
similar experience. He was invited
TO make an address at a Sunday
school festival, and having nothing
prepared to say, he tried to picture to
the children the dolefulness of his DO
sltlon, and asked them this question;
what should you do were you
compelled to stand on a platform he
lore so many bright boys and girls.
VINO expected a speech from you. and
you had nothing to say?"
I'D keep quiet" said one small
boy; and his answer brought down
the house." and brought down the
speaker with it.
IL is a great thing to be able to
speak in an interesting and profitable
manner on any occasion: but if we are
to do this we must train ourselves by
study and practice, and so be ready
10 improve the opportunities which
come to us and which may be fruit
tul of blessing to many souls. And
When we cannot do this 1t may be quite
as well to keep quiet" as to make
apologies and try to fill up the time

Tae Longest Distance that a Shot Has

The Longest Distance that a Shot Has
Been Fired.
ThR longest distance that a shot has
been hred is few yards over fifteen
miles. which was the range of Krupp's
Well"kEown monster" 100 ton steel
gun, firing a shot weighing 1900
pounds The 100 ton Armstrong gun
has an extreme range of fourteen miles,
hiring a shot weighing 1880 pounds,
and requiring $50 pounds of powder.
Thsse guns, however, proved too
expensive, being unable to stand fir
Ing hundred times, and their manu-
lacture has practically been aband-
oned. The 80 ton Armstrong gun hurls
solid shot for a distance of twelve
mlles, and the discharge of the qua
cannot be heard at the place where the
batl strikes. From twelve to thirteen
miles is the computed range of the
most powerful guns now made, and to
obtain that range an elevation OF
nearly As degrees is found to be neces"
sary Quick firing guns are more de-
pended upon at present day than ex-
IRENE length of range and in this re-
spect what is considered the most
wonderful gun, perhaps, is one Of the
MaXims, which can fire as many as
QUO shots a minute, and yet is so light
that a soldier can carry it strapped to
his back. Financially regarded, the
immense sum of $4,000 was expend-
ed IN constructing the monster Krupp
gun, and each projectile cost $3.50

eollapg0 or have disappeared entirely.
There seems to be no other way OF pre-
serving this historic relic than 30 en-
close It in building to protect It frs "a
the rigors of the climate and the in
roads Of insects. The cabin is not
owned by either the city or the lark
commission, but was merely placed in
the Park BY the late George II. Srnirt.
It's owner. to whom it had zen RE-
scented by General Grant, his Intimate
friend. In February, 1898, George H.
Stuart, Jr., representing the estate OF
his father, requested permission of the
Fafk Commission to remove the cabin,
which was granted, with the stipulation
that after the removal the site and sur
rounding grounds were to be restored
TO their original condition. No steps
toward the removal have since been
taken by N. Stuart. The cabin has
been considered out of the possession
Of the Commission, and no effort has
been made toward its preservation ex-
cept to provide police protection.
About eight or nine years ago a new
rooI was put on the structure and other
improvements made. About five years
ago the Grand Army of the Republic
requested the Park Commission to
make necessary repairs to the cabin.
This the Commission was unable to
DO because the structure was neither in
their possession nor that of the city.
Upon the door Of the cabin is a large
frame containing a printed copy of
letter written by General Adam Badeau
to Russell Thayer, chief engineer and
superintendent Of the Park. 1t bears
date OF Washington, D. c., February IL,
1883, and is a reply to a request from
General nhayer asking for a history
Of the cabin.

An Historic Relic,

The historic log cabin in which
Grant spent the last months of the re-
Dellion and which stands back nj
Lemon Hill and close to GIrard avenue
bridge, in Fairmont Park, is rapidIv
falling to decay. The cao'n is one of
the most interesting relics Of the late
war of the rebellion. It is filled with
associations of great doings by great
men in great times, and It's destruction
will be calamity which can never be
atoned for.
The cabin stood at City Poinc, Va,
and was inhabited by GRAFT turing the
anxious winter of '64-C5 Il was
brought to this city and placed in the
park about twenty years ago, having
previously been removed 10 St. Louis.
1t is a rough one-stoTy cabin of logs.
which, in The moving, have been rein
forced from behind with layer of nine
boards. There are two doors in the
structure, one in the front and one in
the rear, both of which have been
locked for many months. Several rough
windows on either side are covered
with heavy wire screens. The interior
