ARKANSAS.
Special to the Appeal.
LITTLE Rock, February 26.-In the
Senate to-day several notices of bills
were given, and several committees re-
ported.
The majority report Of the Committee
on Militia, in regard TO affairs in Pope
county, was adopted.
The passage Of the joint resolution,
directing the Governor to at once de-
clare martial law in Pope county, fol-
lowed the adoption Of the report.
In the House, after a routine Of busi-
ness, message from the Governor was
read, informing the members that he
had signed their civil rights bill.
The act for the relief of Charles Fitz-
patrick, recently of Mississippi county,
was discussed at length in the commit
tee OF the whole, after which the COM
mitteee rose and recommended the
passage OF the bill. Adjourned.
The approval by the Governor Of the
Civil Rights bill excites the indignation
Of this community, and all faith in the
fair promises made by him during the
campaign is seemingly lost. A scheme
Is said to be on foot TO impeach and re-
move Baxter, when V. V. Smith, better
known as Jerusalem Smith," will sue
coed him, only to resign and allow John
NJ. Clayton to be elected to the position.
Clayton is the very worst card in the
Radical pack; worse even than the
Howling McGehee, the only Democrat
who voted for the Civil Rights bill.

day for the press to speak in commenda.

N order to promote it's sale; for it is q
medicine that is known and appreciated
the wide world through. Whenever we
speak Of the Pain-KilIer, as in the
present instance, we do so in behalf of
the afflicted as we'll as in the interest of
its proprietors. For various diseases,
such as rheumatism, cholera, cholera
morbus, burns, sprains, bruises, and so
on to the end of the catalogue, its pro-
prietors claim that there is no remedy
before the people equal to Davis Vege-
table Pain-Killer, and we know that
thousands upon thousands entertain the
same belief. Certainly, we cannot refer
to the history of any medicine of the
kind which has a wider reputation than
that of the Pain-Killer. It was intro
duced in 1910, and from that time to
this its sale, both at home and abroad,
has constantly and rapidly increased
and the highreputation it has achieved
shows that it has been the means of re-
a vast amount of human suffer-

of Davis Vegetable "Pain-Killer" will
long live to enjoy the prosperity which
they have so fairly Won

CoIored Dresses.

The Scientific American says it is not
often that we find scientific items of
any especial degree of interest to the
members of the fair sex who may, per-
chance, glance over our pages; but nov
we believe we have got one which is
simply absorbing. Probably, Madame
or Miss, You are the possessor of a
summer dress, made from some white
diaphanous material; and it may also
be imagined that during your shopping
you have inspected goods of similar
nature, only of varying colors, from
which you have purchased sufficient
material to construct a number of those
bewildering garments in comparison
with the iptricacies of which the most
elaborate works of modern engineering
furnish no parallel. Now, a learned
German professor has invented q plan
whereby your single white dress may
be changed as often as you desire to
any color you may fancy, and this in
your W laundry, so that hereafter the
money which you would devote to sew
eral robes of varying hues may be en-
tirely saved, while you may appear
if you choose, in toilets of total
" different complexion. The process
is very simple, and consists in merely
coloring the starch used in the "doing
up" Suppose a white dress is to be
tinted a beautiful crimson: Three
parts of fuchsin, an analine color which
any chemist can readily procure for
You, are dissolved in twenty parts of
slycerine, and mixed in a mortar with a
little water. Then ordinary starch,
inely~ pulverized, is stirred in, and the
ihiek mass obtained is poured out and

.hus obtained is used Just the same as
common starch, and so applied to the
abric. When the latter is dry it is

Planting Potates.

1t was for q long time the common
eustom-and the bad practice is still
prevalent-to choose for seed potatoes
too small for market or for home con-
sumption. This system tends to degen-
crate the size and quality of the pota-
toes sooner or later, and so turns out.
in the long run, a waste instead of an
economy. It is now very generally con-
coded by the most intelligent cultivators
that the greatest number of large-sized
patotoes can be grown on a given space
from planting large and well-ripened
tubers uncut. But this would entail
very heavy expense for seed, $35 to $45
an acre, and upward, when potatoes are
worth 81 a bushel, a sum sufficiently
large to make the plan impracticable
in raising this crop for profit. A modi-
fcation of this large potato plan will
give the most satisfactory results. In
stead OF planting these large potatoes
whole, they should be cut into pieces,
leaving about three eyes to the piece.
This work should be done three or four
days before planting, and the seed
should be scattered on the cellar or
barn floor, so that there will be time
a partial healing over of the wounds
before putting the seed into the ground.
growers go eve further than this
to assist this h aling and roll the cut
seed OF once in air-slaked lime, a day
or two before planting time. Large
losses occurs at times from throwing the
seed as soon as cut into barrels, and
leaving it for a week or SO. Packed in

A SONG OF sOLACE.

Thou sweet baud Of God, that SO wounded my
heart,
Thou maEest me smile, while thou mak'st me to
smart.
It seems as If God were at balLplay-and l.
The harder He strikes me, the higher / fly.
] own it-He bruises, He pierces me sore;
But the hammer and chisel aftiCt me ne more.
Shall 1 tell you the reason? 1t is that / see
The Sculptor will carve out all angel from me.
I shrink from no suffering, how painful soccer,
When once l can feel that my Gods hand is there.
For soft on the anvil the iron shall glow,
When the Smith with his hammer deals blow upon
blow.
God presEes me hard, but He gives patience, too!
And l say to myself, = lis no more than my due"
And no tone from the organ cali swell on the breeze
Till the Organists fingers press down on the keys.
So come, then, and welcome, the blow and the pain!
without them no mortal to heaven can attain.
For what can the sheayes on the barn-yard avail
Till the thresher shall beat out the chatf with his
fail?
IT'S only a moment God chastens with pain;
JOY follows on sorrow like sunshine on rain:
Then bear thou what God on thy spirit shall lay;
Be dumb, but when tempted to murmur, then pray.

The Two ExTBEMEs.-Two classes of
medical thinkers attempt to cure disease
by opposite modes of treatment. One
class forcess the system into preternatu-
raj activity; the other depregses and
weakens it. Both are wrong. To in
flame the blood of an invalid with medi-
Gated alcoll is as dangerous as to ap-
ply undue steam pressure to a weak
boiler; and to PROSTATE the physical
energy, which is the natural opponent
of disease, by depicting treatment, is an
act Of almost equal temerity. There is
a medium between these two extremes,
and DIR. Joseph Walker, to whom the
world owe the famous California Vine
gar Bitters, has been fortunate enough
to strike it. He has produced from sim
pie vegetable elements without the ad-
mixture of any distilled or fermented
fluid, a specific comprising the import
ant properties of q wholesome tonic, q
gentle e~vacuant, a purifier of the secre-
lions, a ~pulmonic, a seiative, and a
powerful anti-bilious agent. Never be-
fore were these six ~sanative qualities
comprehended in one medicine, and
never before did one medicine cure so
many different diseases. Dyspepsia.
hyer-complaint, diseases of the kidneys.
rheumatism, Intermittent fever, disor-
ders of the bowels, .gout, nervous affec-
and maladies proceeding from i'm
of the blood, are only a few of
the bodily ills for which Vinegar Bit
tiers IS considered an unfailing remedy.

a longer time for the sprouts to come
through, and when they do, they are
seldom as strong and sappy-looking as
if covered lightly, while many of the
wealaD sprouts never get above ground.
Another and equally important point in
raising potatoes for profit is that of
changing the seed. Some growers do
this every year, but many of the most
successful ones change every other year.,
getting the potatoes required for seed
from another State, preferring such as
are grown further North for this pur-
pose. But they always make it a point
to buy the largest size and the best
quality.-Ne1V York Tribune.

Pleasant Purgative Pellets do not, after their
operation, have a secondary tendency to rem

taken many pills or other cathartics for the
purpose of overcoming constipation, know to
their sorrow that the secondary effect Of ali
such medicines has been 'tto render a bad

Oiling Harness.

Harness should never be used over
six months without oiling. I take my
harness apart, or unbuckle it as much
as convenient, and put it into the SOAP
suds of the last washing, giving it a
good soaking, then take it out upon a
bench of the proper height for conve-
nience, and remove all the dirt and
gunlmy substance with the assistance of
a stiff brush and the soap-suds. [ then
find it just the time to make necessary
repairs. By this time the water has
dried from the surface, and I then. APP
ply the oil and a little lampblack mix
ed, with a common paint brush, and
dry in the shade if frozen all the bet
ter. When dry wipe off with a cloth
and put together. It is my opinion,
founded upon forty years experience
and close observance, that harness
treated in this manner will last twice as
long as it will without proper oiling
and care. The more leather is neg
lected the darker it will become, in
wardly, and the darker the less life re-
mains, and the less good will oil do
when applied to recuperate it. Am
monical fumes arising in the stable
have a strong tendency to "eat up" the
oil in the harness, hence the desirabili-
ty of storing harness out of the reach
of this influence.

To PERSONS who seek insurance on
their lives, we recommend the N. Y. Life
Insurance Company as the most popular
institution of its class in America. On
account of its large assets and popular
plans, agents find it a most desirable
company to represent. If one desires a
pleasant and remuneratiYe business.
and does not care to risk capital, he can
find it with this company. But it re-
qulres a wide-awake, active and ener-
getic man. A good BUSINESS can be
done in any locality. The vacant terri
tory is being rapidly taken up, and per
