OF an orphans home fund.
There are two important matters
to be considered at this meeting OF
the Grand Lodge, that Of establishing
an orphans home and an amendment
to the constitution providing for BIZ
ennial session for a period OF ten
years. It is believed that there will
be favorable action upon both mat
ters, as they are correlative, and are
close to the hearts of the Masons of
Arkansas. The biennial meetings are
for the purpose OF accumulating a
fund through the saving of mileage
and per diem and other Grand Lodge
expenses to be applied to the orphans

He will not drink of water objection

fensive, however thirsty. His intelli-
gent nostrils will widen, CULVER and

the fairest of hands, with coaxings that
would make q mortal shut his eyes
and swallow a mouthful at a gulp.
A mare is never satisfied by either
sight or whinny that her colt is really
her own until she has q certified nasal
proof of the fact. A certain blind
horse would not allow the approach
Of any stranger without showing signs
Of anger not safely to be disregarded.
The distinction was evidently
made by his sense of smell, and at a
considerable distance. Blind horses,
as rule, will gallop wildly about a
pasture without striking the surround.
ing fence. The sense of smell informs
them Of it's proximity. Others will.
when loosened from the stable. go d.
rect to the gate or bars opened to their
accustomed feeding grounds, and when
desiring to return, after hours of care
less wandering, will distinguish one
outlet and patiently await its opening.

PRIMITIVE CANNON.
One in the Museum at Navy Yard at

OF course, the Chinese had breech-

always have something before anyone
else, and then forget about it till they
are reminded by a modern Invention.
They are using wheelbarrows to-day
instead of automobiles. but the chances
are that they will dig around In the
records Of the Ming dynasty pretty
soon and prove that Confucius rode
around In a four-cylindered car. while
the residents of Paris were still wear
ing breech clouts. However, that Is be-
side the mark.
There were breech-l loading cannon
used in the conquest of Mexico by Cor
tez, and the proof of the fact is in the
museum at the navy yard, where there
is one of these strange old guns which
was captured by our troops when they
took the City of Mexico. says the
Washington Star.
The gun is not quite four feet long,
and has q three-inch bore. 1t Is made
of bronze and has the arms Of spain
cast between the trunnions. or rather
where the trunnious ought to be. for
the gun has none. but Is mounted by q

the old weapon Is the breech-loading
