A Good Well.
ArkdnSalo TraUeler.

Several days ago a Northern gentleman
came to Little Rock and announced his
intention of buying q home. Il am not
so particular with regard to the house
and grounds" said he, ''as'I am about
the water. There must be well of cold
water"
''Think Eve got the very place." re-
piled an old fellow whose shirt bosom was
streaked with tobacco JUICE.
'SMeet me here Tomorrow
The next day the old fellow came down
and conducted the Northern gentleman to
his premises.
''House is not very good," said the
Northern gentleman.
'sNO, nothin' extra"
''GrOunds not very pleasing"
''NO great shakes. Let's try the water"
He drew a bucket of water from the
well, and when the Northern gentleman
drank his teeth chartered.
"Why, that's the coolest water l ever
drank"
The Northern gentleman was so much
pleased that he bought the place without
further questioning, seeing that the old
fellow was not anxious to sell, and fear
ing that he might change his mind.
Several days afterwards, the Northern
gentleman sought the old fellow and
said:
Il ought to take a gun and shoot you,
you swindling scOundrel."

surprise.

PAPER PLATES.
An Innovation at Berlin That is to Be-
come General.


come General.
The latest application of paper is the
adoption of plates by some of the great
restaurants and cafes in Berlin. The IN
novation was first introduced during the
summer of last year by the adventurous
landlord of a much-frequented open-air
restaurant. Every customer who ordered
bread and butter, rolls, cakes, buns, or
similar articles, had them served to him
on little paper plate, made Of light
papier mache, adorned with a pretty
border in relief, and having, at the first
glance, great similarity to porcelain.
Guests, walters and hosts were all pleased
with the novelty. 1t saved the walters
many deduction from their wages on
account of breakages, which the very
deftest and cleverest can scarcely avoid
when he handles hundreds of pieces of
crOckery during single afternoon and
evening. The paper plates were so cheap
that the landlord did not care to assert
his ownership over them, and his custom
ers were allowed to carry them away like
the pretty serviettes of thin paper used in
so many restaurants in Holland. There
was also a considerable saving on the
time lost and the chance of accident in
Cured in the cleansing of earthenware
pottery. The success of the experiment
has been so marked that the new species
of plates is likely to be introduced into a
great number of restaurants.

Thy angels calm all tears, all care
Prints where thy feet once trOd.

In the Siniatic range Of mountains there
is remarkable cone of sandy rocks called
Gebel-Nakus. When a traveller attempts
IN fine weather to scale this miniature
peak he hears a sound like that of distant
bells. When there is no wind and the
sand is damp with dew the sound is not
heard. This phenomenon is attribu ted to
the friction Of the siliciOus sand on the
declivities Of the cone. The atmospheric
vibration which is thus started is sup
posed to be intensified by cavities which
serve as sOunding-boXes or resOnators.

ED. REPUBLICAN, PLEASE allow
space in your valuable paper for a
few words l have to say in reference
to the treatment of some ofour teach
ers, by our new School Board
The school law provides that teach
ers shall prove their reports before
some Justice of the Peace of the
county, they must also be signed by
at least two of the school trustees be-
fore the School Board will act upon
them. When this is all done by the
teacher, and the report is sent in the
Board allows or disallows items ct its
pleasure, as though the teacher had
sworn to that which was incorrect,
and that the two trustees did not
know what they were doing when
they signed the report. If the Board
allows only what it thinks proper,
why should the teachers be required
to swear to the correctness of the
items of expense charged? I made
out my report, swore to it and had
the trustees to sign it, then the Board
struck out all my incidentals, which
l had paid out of my own pocket, for
the convenience of the school. and
say by this act that I must lose it.
This is hardship which the poorly
paid teacher should not be made to
bear. Fuel must be purchased and it
should be paid for by the School
Board, and not by the teacher.

James Beeghley has purchased the

Governor McLane made a great
mistake when he vetoed the marriage
license bill. The legislature simply
reflected the opinion of the people
when they passed the repeal law.
The law is a relic of feudalism. We
are sometimes tempted to think that
old fogyism has not been quite a sue

There is always class of men gen.
orally found in high places, who are
forever doing things for "policy"
sake. Such men are not fit for such
places as the governors chair and the
church. A piece Of steel tempered
like Adam Fox knows how, should
lie inserted in the place of their back
bone.

courage.

This prize package business is all

The B. & O. r. R. Co. should at
once appoint an agent at Mountain
Lake Park station. Why this has
not been done before is a mystery to
the jewellers at that place. The mer-
chants there cannot get their goods
without going to Oakland or Deer
Park. The same may be said of the
large quantities of building material
and household goods that are being
shipped for that station. Unless the
freight is prepaid the goods and
building materials are carried to the
next station. This should not be so,
and we hope and believe that the
company will at once appoint an
agent for that important station.
