burn out-Of us the clinker and the Stag.
have formed this theory in regard to
small annoyances and veXations. Ii
mkes lust so much trouble to ft us for
usefulness and for heaven. The only
question is whether we shall take it In
the bulk or pulyerized and graduated.
Here is one man who takes it in the
bulk. His back is broken or his eye
sight put out. or some other awful ca
lamity befalls him, while the vast ma
jOrity of people take the thing piece
meal. Which way would you rather
have it? OF course. in piecemeal.
Better have five aching teeth than
one broken jaw, better 10 fly blsters
than an amputation, better 20 squalls
than one cyclone. There may be a
difference Of opinion as to allopathy
and homeopathy, but in this matter Of
trouble like homeopathic doses. small
pellets of annoyance rather than some
Touchdown dose of calamity. Instead
OF the thunderbolt give us the hornet.
If you have bank, you would great
deal rather that 80 men would come in
with checks less than 500 than to
have two depOsitOrs come in the same
day, each wanting his $4,000. In this
latter case you cough and look down
to the floor and you look up to the cell
ing before you look into the safe. Now.
my friends, would you not rather have
thnsa small drafts of ANNOYANCE on
your bank of faith than some all stag
gerng demand upon your endurance!
But remember that little as well as
great annoyances equally require you
to trust in Christ for succor and for
deliverance from Impotence and irrita-
bllity. "Thou wilt keep him in perfect
peace whose mind is stald OH thee"
In the village of Hamelin, tradition
says, there was an invasion of rats, and
these small creatures almost devOured
the town and threatened the lives Of
the population. and the story is that
piper came out one day and played a
very sweet tune. and all the vermin
followed him. followed him to the
banks of the Weser and then he blew
blast, and they dropped in and dis
appeared forever. OF course this is
fable but | wish | could on the sweet
flute of the gospel draw forth all the
nibbling and burrOwing annoyances Of
your life and play them down into the
depths forever.

A Gallant Editor.

Miss Helen Morris Lewis, an llp-to-
date new woman of Asheyille, has an
nounccd herself candidate for super
intendent of the Asheyille waterworks.
The Landmark has no vote in this
contest, butwe are for Sister Lewis for
anything she wants, and we hope there
is enough gallantry and cEivallS' in
Ashcyillc to see that she gets what She
asks for. Some time ago Miss Lewis
proposed that woman be given the
job of cleaning Asheville's streets, as
serting that women could do it better
than the men. We agreed with her
and asked that she be givcntilat place,
but her request was denied. We arc
OF the opinion that the street job would
suit Sister Lewis better than the posi-
ton of superintendent of watcr-works,
but that is neither here nor there; she
should have whatever she wants

Three Historic Guns.

Mayor Smyth has received q tele-
gram from Gen. Burlington, chief OF
ordnance, U. S. A., stating that the war
department. had consented to the loan
to the city of Charleston of three big
siege guns that were used on James
Island during the latest real war. The
guns were formerly mounted i'll john
ston's battery, on James Island. where
they were dismounted by the Federal
troops, and have for over thirty years
been lying on the beach Of James Is
lamp, exposed to the weather. Two OF
the guns during recent years have been
completely buried by sand, and they
had to be dug up. The three pieces OF
historic Confederate ordinances have
been brought to the city and will be
mounted.
Two of them will be placed in posi-
ton in the Auditorium park, on either
side Of the main entrance, while the
third will occupy a prominent place on
the Battery, near the foot of Meeting
street. These guns are only given over
to the custody Of the city of Charles
ton and will always be subject to the
order of the war department., which,
in all probability, means that therelics
will remain in this city forever, as they
have no intrinsic value at all.-Ne'rs

An orange tree that will flourish
and bear fruit as far north as ST. Louis
is promised by Secretary Wilson, of the
agricultural department. The destruc-
ton of the orange groves in the South
during the past three or four years by
severe weather directed Nh. Wilson's
attention to the matter, and he went
to experimenting. The result OF his
work is that he has crossed the orange
tree with the Japanese trifoliata, Il
hardy variety OF fruit, and has obtain
cd an orange tree that will live through
severe frost. Several thousand of these
trees will be planted this spring, and
in case the experiment succeeds the
nation will owe Il debt of gratitude to
Mr.. Wilson.
