Ned with the Present Style

The Society of Naval Architects met
at Charlottenburg the other day. EN-
peror William, the secretaries of state,
the Prussian ministers and many high
military and naval officers were present.
The grand duke of Oldenburg presided.
Geheimrath Burley read a paper en-
Submarine Boats,' in which he said
that they offered no good prospects fol
the future and congratulated the Ger
man admiralty ION abstaining from
costly and protracted experiments and
confining themselves to the construc-
ton of battleships, cruisers and torpedo
boats, adding that there was no reason
to expect that the creation of strong
navy, as initiated by the emperor, would
be disturbed by fear of submarine
boats. The paper was much applauded.

coat, ard the leader of the band, see-
ing the motion, looks hopeful and puts
additional spirit into his playing.
For the present, however, he is
doomed to disappointment, for Spruck-
elmeyer pulls his finger and thumb out
of his pocket again and between them is
q match, which he strikes and applies
to his long weichsel-stemmed pipe.

Perhaps some fond remembrances
aroused by the familiar music came to
the saloon keeper as he stood there and
puffed at his black pipe. If they did he
was not overcome by them. The almost
despairing band, looking at his express
sionless face, were at loss to de-
termine whether he was enjoying their
harmonies or considering the propriety
of calling the police.
Jimmy Refs came along. carrying a
white pitcher, and Sprucke.meyer,
while he moved little to allow Jimmy
to enter the saloon, did not at once fol-
low him. This looked encouraging, and
smiled over his ophicleide to his doleful
mates. Then Jimmy and his pitcher
were no sooner out of the door than
Spruckelmeyer reappeared.
As he did so the music stopped. It
was thrilling moment. The leader
looked at Spruckelmeyer, and Spruckel-
meyer looked stolidly, blankly at the
leader. The rest of the band looked at
each other, and it was plain to see that
they expected nothing. 1t was going to
be just as they thought it would be
when they started to play. Then, just
as the leader himself lost hope and
shifted his instrument back on his
shoulder, the saloon keeper took his
pipe from his mouth, waved it with a
gesture of invitation to the interior OF
his establishment, and with faces THAT

A Converted GroWler.

For wears he has been one Of the
greatest growlers and kickers In the
CITY. No one ever heard him enthust
over his mercies, but he could put ur
the longest and loudest howl upon the
slightest provocation. The other day
the frisky youngsters at the dinner
table unset cup of hot coffee into the
growler's lap. He sprang back, and
fused bis napkin vigorously. All mem
bers of the family stampeded and dis
appeared through convenient doors
except the wife.
"T 90 had, John" she said tremul
ous,v "does it burn yet?"
"Ips nothing" he replied. "The
clothing absorbed most of 1t. Call the
children back, DEAR"
But he had to attend to that. for ahe
was speechless with surprise. The
children came in pale. shrinking, and
expectant, but the father soon had
them laughing nervously. They could
not comprehend.
That night he had neuralgia. In
stead Of storming about he held hI'
head quietly while his wife applied
remedies talked cheerfully until bed
time, and then retired to rest with
the afflicted member on a not Watel
bag.
When he stepped on a tack the mex
morning and did not relieve his feel
tinga by arousing the whole neighbor
hood, his better half could restrain bel
curiosity no longer. "Have you join
ed the Church, John ?" she inquired
timidly.
"No, little one, business took me tt
the hospital the other dav, and learn
ed what genuine suffering means
I've been regular old grizzly BEAR"

The Man the Printer Loves.

There is man the printer loves, and
he is wondrous wise; when'er be
writes the printer man he dotteth all
his i's. And when he's dotted all OF
them with carefulness and ease, he
punctuates each paragraph, and crosses
all his t's. Upon one side alone he
writes, never rolls his leaves and from
the man of ink a smile the mark
'sinsert,n receives. And when the
question he doth ask-taught wisely
he hath been-he doth the goodly pen
nv stamp, for postage back, put in.
He gives the place from which be
writes-his address the printer needs
and plainly writes his honored name,
90 that he runneth reads. He writes,
revises, reads, corrects, andre-writes all
again, and keeps one copy safe and
sends one to the the printer man.
And thus by taking little pains, at
trifling care and cost, assures himself
his manuscript will not be burned OF
lost. And so he speaks. through all
the land, and thousands hear his wore
and in the coming day shall knc@
how well the people heard.
So let all those who long to write
take pattern by this man with Jet
black ink and paper white, do just the
best they can and then the printer
man shall know, and bless them as DIS
friends, all through life's journey as
they 90, until the journey ends.

"You Gave US Nothing"

One Sunday morning as young
minister was leaving the church where
be had conducted the services, he was
accosted by an elderly man who had
been one of his hearers, and VINO SAID
to him bluntly: -.
"You gave us nothing this morn
Ing" ..
on the part of the old man to say that
and especially to say it 80 abrubtly.
Even if 1t had been true-and ofcouIse
It might have been-it might have
been better left unsaid. To say the
least, If said at all, it should have been
said very differently. But 1t might
not be true, and somebody might have
found a word of comfort and life, al
though the old man did not. >,
"I think I know what you mean,"
replied the young minister; you
mean that you did not enjoy the SER
vice. But will you allow me to ask
YOU a question or two"
The old man gave look of assent,
and the preacher said to him:
"May T ask whether, before coming
to church this morning, you asked
Gods blessing on behalf of all minis
ters of his word this morning, and
among them on behalf of the one you
might hear? =,
The man hesitated, but at length re-
billed that he could not say he had.
II should like to ask again." said
the preacher, "whether, as you came
to church this morning, you asked
ANYBODY to come with you"
1No,1 he said, II did not. I came
straight from home to church without
saving word to anybody"
HMay ask" you said the young
man. Hjust another question. Are you
engaged in any useful Christian work
Teaching in the Sunday-school, for
instance, or anything else by which
men may be brought to Christi"
The man did not reply very prompt.
ly or willingly but he had to confess
that he was doing nothing.
"Then," said the preacher, "excuse
me if I tell you / am not surprised to
hear youl say you found nothing to
interest you in the service this morn
ing"
The writer of this Is minister, and
he confesses most frankly and humbly
that sermons-and indeed the whole
of the services of which they form
part-often vary greatly. The minis.
ter is Dot always himself. He may be
in feeble health, as there may be sick
ness in his home, or he may be worri'
ed and in trouble, or he may have
boan interrnntad in his preparatiOns,
or his subject may not have opened
out before him as be hoped and expect
ed it would. So 1t might well happen
that there are not a great deal in the
services for anybody. :.
But is it always the minister's fault
when his hearers find he has "giver

In Scripture there is nothing said of

age of grace is maturity, not decay

not imbecility. In the advanced years
of nature we lose many of our faculties,
butt in advanced grace our spiritual
senses are more quick and discerning
than ever. The aged man feels' the
grassbopper to be burden, and the
clouds return after the rain; but to
the advanced believer the greatnest
loads are light and the rain is over and
