the Jonesboro Her0id and Tribune:
DR.. Smithpeters and wife had gone
to church, leaving their children at

children prepared to bake some cake.
They found wbbt they needed for
that purpose readily, save some
cream tartar, but eFter looking over
the house for itttey found what they
supposed was the article needed, but
which was arsenic, and used it with
the other ingredients, and after bak>
ing, they all (six in number) ate of
it, which produced almost instant
death. They were all buried on the
following Sunday 10 the same grave.

THE ORIaIN or CLOTHING. How did we
come to possess our present form Of dress Is
answered by reviewer in Nature. Clothing
at first was almost entirely ornamental. The
simple sincture was the germ, 50 to speak,
of the clothing we wear. After some time a
bunch of pandanus slips was added in front,
and this was gradually extended until it
made a complete fringe around the body
When the arts became 50 far advanced that
man could make paper cloth or some woven
material. these latter were substituted for
the primitive fringe, and the gift was thus
deveIoped. Curously enough, the dress of
the Scottish IighlandcTs embOdieS these two
stages Of progress in the kiltand the spouan.
As man advanced there were inconvenience
attending the use of the kilt, which Were
abated hy fastening that garment at one
point between the legs, and the human mind
was then fairly setupon the path to arrive at
the attainment of pair of trousers. When
the back and shoulders needed protection the
sayaces used the skin Of some animal, and it

part 5of the body that we have derived our
