GIANTS OF SMALL STATURE.

Once more the strongest man in the
intercollegiate world is what would
be known in ordinary descriptive
words as "a little fellow" Arthur
Tying, who has just sent the all
around test record upward almost 900
points, is the smallest and least strik-
ing of the Harvard competitors. His
superiority, as attested by himself
and his examiners, lies in his nerve,
agility and perfect physical balance.
CT. Herbert, intercollegiate cham
pion of two or three years ago, was
even smaller than Tying. He too
was of Harvard. Allis, of the Uni
versity of Minnesota, now dethron-
ed by Tying, is but FIVE feet FIVE
inches in height.
Good things" says the old saw,
"come in small packages. J" The
truth of this proverb may be applied
to men in the matter Of the physical
development obtained by wise and
systematic work by the mingling Of
sanity and discretion with "gump-
tion."
No one of these little strong men
Of the colleges is monstrosity. Each
of them points the moral of Chief
Surgeon Kimball' S recent report from
a United States Army Department on
the general lack of stamina on the
part of the youths under ~ years
of age.

ordinary lives in Northern Italy
alone; the two years comprising his
first fourteen victories were crowned
with adventures and triumphs enough
to spice the humdrum existence of a
whole conventicle of Quakers. There
were weeks when he reaped the har-
vest of common century"
But, besides, the misery of enforc-
ed quietism is aggravated by the GER
tainty of the circumstance that the
storm of joyous emotions is compati-
bic with a fair chance of longevity.
The luxury of a brilliant fame can
be compensated by liberal supply of
fuel. Frederick the Great, trium-
phant in the conquests of peace and
war, lived twenty years longer than
his unenterprising philistine of faith
er. Xenophon, a restlessly active
hunter, warrior, politician, philoso-
pher and romancer, lived nearly a
century. Wellington lived 80 years,
and Aurungzebe, the great Mogul
conqueror and reformer, o2. Success,
in fact, is a cause as we'll as a result,
of longevity, and well directed labor,
alternating with periods of recreation,
sustains life as effectively as the peace
of a bearish winter sleep. Those
Spanish peasants can hardly be said
to have lived Io8 and lis years.
They merely existed for that length
of time, and might as well have pass
ed century in the cave of Rip Van
Wrinkle.
The thought, however, occurs /:
Would it not be possible to combine
the quietude of their existence and
their freedom from care with good
meals and harmless pastimes, like
those of Squire Walton, who exhorts
his readers to "be quiet and go fish
ing !" The problem, it must be adj
mitted, requires the social circum-
stances of Arcadia, but may now and
then have been solved by such mod
ern favorites of fortune as the Fisher
man Jenkins, who subsisted upon the
rent of little farm, and, being able
to catch halibut within 100 yards of
his cabin, contrived to live 163 years.
Walton himself had a little more to
eat than he could perfectly digest,
but being otherwise model of mod
esty, contented himself with CON-
promise of four score and ten.

SEARCH FOR coLoRED HELP.

A New York woman who has had

FOR "EUCHRE" MOTHERS.

A certain mother in one of our
small cities was very fond of playing
progressive euchre." I" One evening
she received fine silver cup for being
the most successful player in group
of her society friends. She was much
delighted with her success, and on
showing it to her family the next
morning, her son, in his early teens, !"
said, Hugh ! I can beat that, for I
made ten dollars at the pool table last
night p immediately the eyes of
the mother were opened in more
senses than one, for, in the first place,
she had no idea that her son had thus
been spending his time, and in the
next place, partners in sin, how could
she condemn him? It taught her a
lesson once for all.

ROUGH ON CHICKENS.

In an Ohio town this year the AT
rican Methodist Episcopal church of
that district held conference. The
colored population of the little town
made great preparations to entertain
the visiting clergymen. For week
the town was filled with colored pulpit
orators.
A few days after the conference
closed its sessions one of the leading
women of the town drove out to Pea
Ridge to purchase chickens of Aunt
Hanna, who had supplied the family
for years. Aunt Hanna, coming to
the gate said:
''I'm sorry, Miss Allie. I amt
got chicken left. Dey all done en-
ter de ministry"
Mr.. TIMMID-"I don't suppose 1t
would be proper for me to kiss you
on such short acquaintance"
Miss Innit-"No, suppose not
but isn't it too bad we haven't been
acquainted longer?"

THE PREssYrERlANs.

For some days to come both the
northern and the southern Presby-
terian assemblies will be in session,
the former in New York and the lat
ter In Jackson, Miss.
The Presbyterian church of the
United States. like the Methodist, di-
vided on sectional lines more than a
generation ago.
The question of the reunion of these
two organizations has been discussed
often, but little progress seems to
have been made in that direction. and
the separation is, now generally con
ceded to be final.
Though the Methodists and Presby-
terians, north and south agree in the
general forms and substance of their
faiths, the southern churches are dis
tnguished by their closer adherence
to the old standards.
The southern people are notably
more conservative than the people OF
the north, both in religion and poll
tics.
This divergence of the two sec
tional branches of the Presbyterians
has been more pronounced than the
differentiation of the northern and
southern Methodists.
The northern Presbyterians have
been badly disturbed several times by
discussions of articles of faith and
trials for alleged heresy. The south
ern Presbyterians have very rarely
had any such agitations They ad-

here more rigidly than their northern
brethren to the old-time religion and
seem happy in it, 1t is predicted that
there viii not be as much dispute
over creed revision in the northern
assembly this year as was threatened
sine time ago.
The church expansion movement
which was inaugurated at the last
assembly Of the northern Presbyter-
ians has aroused much enthusiasm
and created a common zeal that has
served to bring the conservative and
the radical elements closer together
These efforts Tor church expansion
have already produced large results,
and will doubtless be prosecuted
with continued and increasing vigor.
The subject of creed revision will,
however, be taken up by the northern
Presbyterians at their assembly,
which win begin tomorrow. and some
sharp differences over it may be de-
veloped. There is no prospect of a
wrangle of any sort among the south
ern Presbyterians.

If the parents of the school child

any school book monopoly, it might
as well be the American Book Co. as

is in favor OF free school books being
furnished to the pupils by the terri
tory. Oklahoma is a little behind on
this proposition. Up to date educa-
tional interests require that the poor
boy or girl shall have school books as
well as the rich, at public expense
Okiahoma's magnificent endowment
for the public schools will provide
amply for this and the writer would
be pleased to see such a law enacted
at the next session of the legislature.

rHREE NEW STATES.

Saws the Atlanta Constitution.
There is little doubt that the bill for
the admission to the Union Of New
Mexico. Arizona and oklahoma, which
has passed the house will prevail in
the senate also before the end of the
present session Of congress.
Then OF all the territories in the
United states proper only the Indian
territory will be left. and peculiar
conditions render probable the con
tinuance of territorial government
there for an indefinite time TO come.
The three territories for whose ad,
mission the house bin provides have
been asbing for statehood persistentlg
during the past five or six years.
They put forward claims which
should have been recognized long ago,
and would have been but for partisan
considerations.
Arizona and New Mexico viii prob
ably be Democratic states, while the
Republicans have reason to count on
Oklahoma. If all three had been
reliably Republican they would have
been admitted several years ago.
Speaker Henderson used his official
power and influence to stave OF the
statehood bill, but the pressure be-
came too heavy for him to resist.
Every one Of the proposed new
states has a much larger population
and other qualifications for sover.
eighty much superior to those OF sew
eral of the states which we're brought
into the Union several years ago for
the purpose Of increasing the strength
Of the Republican party in the senate
and its vote in the electoral college,
to say nothing of Nevada, with her
less than $4,000 people.
All three OF these territories are
growing steadily and win advance
much more rapidly when they become
states. 'tF
These territories, It seems are
about to get the justice for which they
have pleaded so long.
