FREDERICK WARDE.

Frederick Warde, the actor, is ap- bearing in an elaborate production this season of Henry Guy Carleton's splendid play, "TEe Lions Mouth, :" Mir. Warde's repertoire this season includes such classical plays as "Yir- ginius, /" "Romeo and Juliet, "The Merchant of Venice, , "Richard III" and ''The Lions Mouth"
 Of recent performance of the last named play in Baltimore, the World of that city says:
 "Frederick Warde had every incen- tive to act his best at Ford's, Mon day night. and in the presence of a distinguished audience, his portrayal of Pauldi Noyara, in Henry Guy Carleton romantic Venetian drama, The Lion's Mouth, lacked nothing to make it worthy of the occasion. The seasons opening of Manager Ford's playhouse was in every way memorable; the curtain went up, ,and until the close of act one the au dience was absorbed in The Lions Mouth. Mir. Warde was in splendid voice, the stage setting showed the grand ca. nal of Venice.
 The second curtain arose or the grounds of the doge's palace hy moonlight. It was superb, the au- dience applauded the beautiful pie ture enthusiastically The play went on, unfolding it's romantic plot o love and hate in the 18th century When the curtain fell on the moonlit picture Mir. Warde received an oYa tion. Three times he was called be- fore the curtain, Speech! Speech!

The growth of prosperity in Great Britian is shown by a report which has just been published by the la. bor department of the board of trade. From this it appears that during the year 1898 increased wages were received by more than a million of workers, exclusive of agricultural laborers, seamen, and railway servants, who are known to have shared in the general ad. vance. The increase, in the case of persons continuing to work in their accustomed manner, amounted dur ing 1898 to no less than e95, 900 per week, in contrast with an increase amounting to 5000 per week in the year preceding, so that the la boring classes Of the Kingdom are known to have received in wages last year something like five mill. ions sterling more than they re ceived in 1898, and between seven and eight millions sterling more than they received in 1897.-Times Urion.

GRARDEST GIFT ID MAN

 Speers- -Langford Institute.

Special Correspondence of Ark. Democrat.
 The grandest gift a parent can give to his son is an education. Wealth often left is but a curse. It encourages idleness, idleness leads to temptation and temptation leads to ruin. Indulgent parents often neglect the education of their sons, feeling they have ample means to keep them during their life. This may be true, provided the son would nuke the same frugal use as the father. but being unedueated. knows not the value of a dollar. and the eagle birds soon fly away, leay- ing them penniless and aneducated to battle for an existence in this world, so full of progress and col- lege educated young men. Then the true awh wardness of his position daWns upon him in all it's force. He realizes then the importance of an education and yainlY regrets he had not taken advantage in his youth when an education was at hand.
 It was the writer's pleasure only q few days ago to visit Searcy, the town of sulphur springs and col leges. Here we met our old friend ard teacher, Prof 0. C. Gray. who has given hiseatire life to education, having served the State in the Al. |. at Fayetteville and the Blind School in this city. Previously he occupied a chair at St. Johns Col lege, now a thing of the past, but fond reeollections still dear 10 our memories cling of the happy days under his tut0rship. It is needless to say that Prof. Gray took us in charge, and Spears-Langford Militia | ry Institute where Prof. Gray isnow [ located, was visited, and I must con- .fess I was surprised to find such an excellent military school so close to our capital city and in our own State. Professors Willis, Blain, l James and CammandantLi LieuteEant Toibert were all met and I found them polished gentlemen. and grad uates of schools Of renown,
 Mesdames Gray. James and Hop- kins look after the students in their moiherly way that endear them to both pupils and parents. An obser- vation revealed the fact that a strict military discipline is maintained at all tines. Thus the physical as well as the mental faculties are trained, and at the same time the home-like habits of all are very apparent, SO can justly state it is both a military and model home school. The school is progressing finely, the pupils bein g limited to seyenty-fve, sixty of whom are now enrolled. I find the names of two Little Rock boys, Robt. Martin, son of Judge T. B.
 Martin, and Robt. Tunnah, son. of Renton Tunnah I talked with the boys and all are happy and con-
 tented and are enjoying themselves at the same time preparing them selves to become usesul citizens. The college was formerly the searcy col lege, q mixed school, but it has changed hands, having been pur- chased by Mrs. Spears and the H on.

And the Reason He Stood Firm While
Under Fire.
A battalion of volunteer infantry
was drilling in field when a regiment
of regular cavalry rode by. The colo
mel Of the cavalry halted his men to
watch the volunteers, and, getting
into conversation with the colonel Of
the latter, he criticised their drill IN
favorably, especially their want Of
steadiness. The volunteer colonel was
fierce fellow, and he cried hotly, my
men are as steady as any regiment Of
regulars"
II do not think So" retorted the cav
a1ryman, 'and if you'll draw your men
in order to receive cavalry I'll prove
it,
The challenge was accepted, and the
cavalrymen charged down upon the
citizen soldiers, who awaited them in
the usual way. Now, regular cavalry
can charge to within a few feet or
even inches of infantry at full gallop
and then at the word of command pull
up short. The volunteers. however,
lost their nerve when they saw the

when a few yards off. They fed, all

Woman and Perver.ity.

the philosophic street car conductor,
Gho asserts that she always does the
wrong thing in travelling on the trains.
She wants to get aboard on the wrong
side Of the street; she alights the wrong
way, facing backward, before the car
stops, and she'll crowd in between two
fat passengers near the rear door Of
the car rather than walk few steps
forward where there is plenty Of room.
She may have nickels and dimes in her
purse to burn. but she'll fish and hunt
around for minutes looking for five
coppers to unload upon the long suffer
ing servant of the road.-Exchange.

! INTERESTING EXPERIMENT..
Find Out which One of Your Feet
Walks the Faster.

You may think this is a very silly
question to ask, but is It? There is
no catch about it. It is a simple, de
monstrable fact which you can prove
to your own satisfaction in very few
minutes.
II you will take any pavement that
Is clear of other pedestrians, so that
there shall be no interference, and
walk briskly in the center, you will
find that before you have gone 100
yards you will have veered very much
to one side. You must not make any
conscious effort, of course, to keep in
the center, or you may do it. but if
you will think of something and en-
deavor to walk naturally it is 100 to
you cannot keep direct line
The explanation Of this lies in the
pec,szlarity Of one foot to walk faster
than the other. Or, to be more cor
rect, perhaps it should be said that
one leg takes longer stride than the
other, and this, combined with the
quicker movement, causes one to walk
more to one side than the other.

that one foot walks faster than the

ment in this way II you will place
two stakes in the lawn about eight
feet apart and then stand off about
60 feet from them. allow yourself to

Inheritance of Health.

There is, it is true, as great an in
equality in the inheritance OF health as
in the h.irship Of wealth or brains.
Some are born with fortune of vigor
and soundness SO large that not a life
time of eager squandering will leave
them poor. and others enter the world
paupers Of need SO dire that no charity
from medicine can ever raise them to
comfort, but most of us have just that
mediocre legacy Of vitality which rem
ders us undistinguishable units in the
mass. 1t lies in the hands of each to
improve or waste that property, as he
chooses, for there Ae self made men
physically rs we'll as financially; those
who, because of ancestral wasteful-
ness, have only sixpence Of health
and turn it into a fortune, and there
are spendthrifts Of health who come
to as sorrowful case as spendthrtfts Of
gold. The body is the realm where a
wise and frugal ruler brings happi-
ness as surely as foolish one inslres
distress, and wisdom here. as else
where, lies in learning and obeying
