Do far as we are informed there have been no steps taken to have Arkansas suitably represented at the Worlds Fair in 1883. Our mineral and agricultural resources, if prop erly exhibited, would make credit abie display, and result in much good to tho state. It is certainly within the province of the present legislature to take steps in this matter.

The death of Senator Carpenter, of Wisconsin has opened up a des- perate fight for the succession be- tween the senatorial aspirants in that state.

MUD AND SAUcERs. any common
saucer or plate, into which put sand to the
depth of an inch or so, then prepare cut
tings in the usual manner in the sand close
enough to touch each other. The sand is
TO be walered TO bring 1t to the condition
of mud. The saucer with the cuttings is
then placed on the shelf of the gree nhOuse,
in the hot bed, or IN the sunny window of
any room in the dwelling house; in each
case fully exposed to the sun and never
shaded But one condition is essential to
success-until cuttings become rooted, the
sand must be kept continually saturated
with water, and always in the condition of
mud To do this the saucer must be
watered at least once day with very
fine watering-pot, and the watering must
be done very gently, else the cuttings may
be washed out. There is every probability
that at least ninety per cent. of all the cut
tings put In will take root, provided they
were in the proper condition, and the tenn
perature has not been lower than sixty five
degrees nor above one hundred degrees.
The cuttings will root according to kinds
and the temperature in from six to twenty
days Verbenas, hellotropes, fuchsias, etc.,
root in a week, while roses, carnations, or
azaleas take TWO, three or four weeks.
When rooted they should be potted In light
soil, in pots from two to three inches in di
ameter, and treated carefully by standing
and watering for two or three days.

HUMOROUS.

We have freqeuntly wondered why lady
living in suburban city or village, ana
whose husband goes to and fro on the
trains, should get sick some day and say
pathetically that the only thing that can
cure her is the knowledge that her husband
has brought from New York for the chill
dren a hobby horse and two or three little
red wagons. The problem has at last been
solved. Robins walked into the house
proudly with the hobby horse and the lit
tie red wagons. placed them on the floor,
and was pleased when the children laugh
ed, and his wlfe's eyes sparkled, while her
UnevA gIcw Iuuuy with health. She drew
his head down to her ear, aud whispered,
with delight, Darling, you have been
flirting on the trains long while. Now
that girls have seen you with the hobby
horse and wagons they know that you are
a married mani" But her triumph was
not complete. He replied, ''Dear, got
old Mr., Smith to buy them up for me, and
have promised to buy ticket for his straw
berry festival"

an unexplained objection to the electric
light arises from its alleged evil effects on
the eyes. European observers state that
the frequent variations IL intensity to which
the light is subject give rise to sudden
and frequent changes in the pupil, and,
consequently, in the Accommodation" of
the eye, by which is meant that alternate
contraction and dilatien of the pupil, by
which 1t suits itself to the variations of
light. Such light, therefore, causes not
only muscular fatigue, but also consider
able degree of blurring and indlstInctness
In the retlnal image. The eye suffers
both when the light is too dim and when
it is too bright. In the former case the OBJ
ject must be brought close to be clearly
seen, and increased accommodat1ve effort
is called for, which in most cases re-
suits in near-sighiedness. In the latter
case, the simple intensity Of the light pro-
duces undue contraction of the pupil, and
an increase of tension within the eye.

AGRICULTURE.

MuTToN.-Mutton is better adapted for
food for persons living in the country than
beef. Most farmers are situated so lar
from market that they can not OBTAIN
fresh meat to eat during the summer, when
the hard labor in the fields demands
an excellent diet. They cannot profit
ably dispose of the flesh of steer
slaughtered during hot weather even II
they have an lce-house, One-quarter Is
as large quantity as even large family
can consume before danger OF spelling
occurs. IL is difficult to cure beet in the
summer so it will be certain to keep, even
if one has supply of Ice. The hke Il ltggAs
meat from hogs during the summer. 1t is
more difficult to cure pork than beef in the
summer; and besides pork is not well
suited tor q general article of diet during
very warm weather. Tae home supply of
fresh meat in summer, however, can read
lily be obtained if farmer keeps flock OF
sheep. Mutton can be kept much loHger in
fresh state than either beef or pork. Be-
sides even the largest varieties Of sheep are
so much smaller than steers or hogs that
their carcasses can be disposed Of in a much
S0OrleT lLIu6. IL AdLnu1 Is lOO cuAaA w
consume all the meat furnished by sheep
a part can be salted. The meat is so thin,
rs compared with beef or pork, that every
portion of il will absorb q sufficient amount
of salt and sugar even when the weather is
very warm. Many persons know nothing
of the merits of corn beef. 1t has never
occurred to some farmers that mutton could
be cured for future use. They corn and
dry beef, salt and smoke pork, but if
necessary eat mutton, if indeed they e. I
it all, when it is fresh. Now, any part OF
a sheep furnishes excellent eating when
it is salted and boiled. In many respects
1t is superior to corned beef. 1t is more
highly favored and is better relished when
eaten with potatoes and garden vegetables;
stewed with sweet herbs it is rare delicacy.
The hams and shoulders of mutton are ex-
cellent when salted and smoked. The
tongues of sheep are superior to those OF
cattle and pigs. Mutton Is more easily di-
gested than most kinds of meat, and in
delcacy ranks next to the flesh OF chickens
and small game fowls.

an AnaericQ9a has invented a berth,
which is already adopted by several steam
ship lines, that is hung like compass on
double pivots, so as to conform itself to the
motion Of the vessel. 1t occupies only an
inch more room than the ordinary berth,
but is so arranged that those who wish to be
'srocked in the cradle ofthe deep''can enjoy
that pleasure by inserting plug into the
mechanism. As the majority of people are
sick only when they stand up, the man
who is to really diminish the discomforts
of ocean travel must invent a way of
double-jolnting the vessel itself. The easiest
way would be to make vessel that would
float on the crest of the waves without
getting broken back.
