Arkansas Etiquette

Last night two men from Philadel-
phia engaged in quarrel at a hotel in
this city. After using all kinds If epi-
thets, one of the men thrust his hand
behind him as though about to draw q
pistol and then took it away. The
quarrel terminated without damage to
either party. An old man from South
Arkansas shook back his long hair and,
advancing to the man who had made
the hip pocket motion, remarked:
Both of you men are strangers
here, I reckon?"

"NOw, young man, let me give you
a piece of advice. While you are in
this country don't put your hand be-
hind you unless you intend to shoot,
Don't even run your hand into your
pocket for a chaw of tobacker. Don't
spit. Don't wink, for if you do your
partner, if he's an Arkansaw man, will
Jolt you. You must learn these little
rules of politeness. You may know
how to conduct yourself at church, but
you've got a good many rules of eti-
quette to learn. "-Little Rock Gazette.

Fjjian Hair Dressing.

The Fijians give a great deal of time
and attention to their hair. Most of
the chiefs have a special hair dresser to
whom they sometimes devote several
hours of the day. Their heads of hair
are often more than three feet in cir
cumference and frequently nearly five
feet round. This forces them to sleep
on narrow wooden pillows, or neck
rests, which must be very uncomforta-
BILE. Black is the natural and favorite
color; but some prefer white, flaxen, or
bright red.
This style of hair dressing, however,
is not peculiar to the Fijians, but pre-
walls extensively in Africa. The young
men among the wild Kafir tribes in
South Africa draw their hair out to its
full extent, and stiffen it with grease
and shining powders until their heads
assume the appearance which those of
the English Bishops used to present
when they wore wigs.
The Damaras of the same region
divide the hair into a great number of
strands, which are fixed by imbuing
them with a mixture of grease and red
Ochre, and which are allowed to hang
round the head like so many red cards.
The men are very fastidiOus about
their hair, and as rain would destroy
the elabOrately-dressed locks, they use
in rainy weather a piece of soft hide to
cover their heads.

History Of the Old Red Cent,

AS the old cred cent? has now
passed out of use, and, except rarely,
out of sight, like the "old oaken
bucket" its history is a matter of
sufficient interest for preservation.
The cent was first proposed by Robert
Morris, the great tinancier of the Revo-
luton, and was named by Jefferson
two years after. 1t began to make its
appearance from the mintin 1892. Itbore
the head of Washington on one side
and thirteen links on the other. The
French Revolution soon created 1age
for French ideas in America, which put
on the cent instead of the head of
Washington the head of the Goddess of
Liberty-a French Liberty-with neck
thrust forward and flowing locks. The
chain on the reverse side was displaced
by the olive wreath of peace; but the
French Liberty was short-lived, and so
was her portrait on our cent. The
next head or figure that succeeded this
the staid classic dame with fllet
around her hair-came into fashion
about thirty or forty years ago, and her
finely-chiseled Grecian features have
been but slightly altered by the lapse
of time.

American Butter Abroad.

American butter is growing in de-
mand every day among our English
cousins and the trade promises to
assume large proportions. Butter
dealers in the export trade claim that
greater number Of packages Of butter
have changed hands IN the market this
season than ever before. American
shippers Of the article in one week re-
ceiving $500,000. This butter is con-
sumed in England and on the continent
and comprises spring, summer and fall
productions. Much of that exported
this fall was June butter kept over by
New York dealers in enormous ice
houses erected for the purpose and so
constructed as to insure a circulation
of air, with the temperature kept at a
uniform and desirable degree.

Fate Of Arctic Explorers.

Behring Strait derives its name
from Vitus Behring, a Russian naval
Captain in the service of Peter the
Great, who died from exposure on the
Arctic coast nearly a century and q
half ago Bafin, whose name is borne
by the bay which he discovered, met
a violent death. James Hall, under
whom he had previously served, met
a similar fate. Still earlier in date Sir
Hugh Willoughby, who sailed to dis
cover a northern passage, was with
his whole crew, frozen to death. Sir
Hendrick Hudson became famous as
discoVerer, and his voyage to the mouth
of the river which bears his name was
simply because his crew would not
bear the severity of the northern eli
mate. He afterward discovered Hud-
son bay, and on his return voyage was
the victim of a mutinous crew. Cos
mold, who, discovered Massachusetts,,
and gave Cape Cod its name, died
miserably on the James river. Captain
Cook was slain and eaten by canni-
balls. Sir John Ross, who many years
ago undertook an exploring voyage,
was imprisoned in the ice for four
winters and was only rescued by a
Russian ship which happened to hear
of his condition. The mysterious fate
of Sir John Franklin hardly needs
more than mere reference here, but
it may be added that DR.. Lane, who
commanded the Grinnell expedition,
was martyr to his enthusiasm. The
disease he contracted while in search
Of Sir John Franklin carried him to
his grave soon after his return. What
will be the fate of the Jeanette and
its crew?

4 MERRY CHRISTMAS.

The words are blithe and full of cheer;
They never pail on any hearer,
But, borne along from year to year,
From year to year sound ever dearer.
And yet We know the worus are vain;
We know the season must be merry,
When those long severed meet again
Below the white and scarlet berry;
When small but mirth-compelling jokes
Are heard from every nook and corner;
When on the board Plumb Pudding smokes,
Attended by the Pie of Horner;
When kissing shall by favor go,
And Age declare it only folly
That Youth resorts to mlstletOe,
And lovely Woman stoops to holly;
When old and young and middle-aged-
Three generations-all cOmmingle;
The widowed, welded, fresh-engaged,
And, last and least, the many single.
Merry ?"-When all around is bright?
MerryY-AY, merry, now or never.
The churl that cannot laugh tonight
May give the habit up forever.
One week in all the ffty-two
Is little time to give to laughter;
Come, join the revel cynic, dol
Although CYnic ever after.
Come, choose a seasOnable strain
To fit the jolly days'before us;
And shout we all, with might and main
"A Merry Christmas!" is the chorus.

His hoary brow with holly bound.
In fOaming wassail hail him king
Of hearts brimful of mirth-

And drear DeCember's dearth.

With praises of our Christmas King!
A merry Christmas" be the song

Where JOY inspires the jovial thrOng,
When mortals would Old Time prolong,

Who joins the laughter, loud and strong,
Though his old heart is aching.

The New Year soon shall tune our song.
