THE DIMENSIONS OF HEAVEN.
Some Interesting Figures About the
World Absye The Skies.

LeVis' Penny Readiag publishes
the following very interesting para
graph, the idea being TO endeavor 10
show in some way the Dimensions Of
heaven: Any one may prove the
approximate accuracy Of the compu-
tation for himself By performing The
several operations called for. The
basis Of the calculation Is taken from
the sixteenth verse Of the twenty first
chapter Of Revelation:
And be measured the city with
reed 10000 furlongs. The length
and the breadth and the height Of Ii
are equal.
Twelve thousand furlongs equal
1920. 600 feet, which, being cubed, is
496, ,793, ,088. .0O0, 900, 900 cubic feet.
Reserving one-half Of this space for
the throne and court Of heaven, and
half of the balance for streets, we
have the remainder l24, los. 272, ,0O0,-
000, 900. 900 cubic feet. Divide by
this 4 ,006 the cubic feet 10 room is
feet square, and there will be 80,82I,.
843, $50, 900, 900 rooms. Now, sup
pose the world always did and always
will hold $50, 900, 900 inhabitants and
that Q generation lasts thirty.tbree and
one-third years, making In ali 2,eT0,-
600, 900, 900 inhabitants every CEN
tury and that the world will stand
loo, 900, 600 years, or 1000 centuries,
making in al 2,070.OO0, coo, 900 III.
habitants. Then suppose there were
one hundred worlds equal to this ID
the number Of the Inhabitants and
duration OF years, making q total of
2,979, 900, 900, 100000 persons. and
there would be more that . hundred
rooms sixteen feet square for each
person.

A Hero in prlyate I.ire.

The world has other heroes THAN sol
diers] who unc0mplainingly yield up
their lives in an unequal fight after dis
playing such heroism and fortitude as
nlartyrs alone can boast Of. The latest
example is to be found IN the sad death
Of Editor jackson, of the Philadelphia
Transcript. More than twenty years
ago, when jackson reached the age of
manhood, he was warned that he must
look forward to death from that most
terrible Of diseases, cancer. The sc0urge
smote bis grandfather. Il killed his
father. Seven other blood relations
were numbered among the victims
The young Journalist was told by emil
nent physicians that there was no hope
for him. Sooner or later, probably be-.
tween his 10th and 43d year, the stroke
would fall.
With such an awful shadow hanging
over their lives weaker men would have
yielded to despondency. plunged into
dissipation, or sought relief i'm suicide.
But jackson redoubled his efforts IN
his chosen lifework. No cloud was
seen on his brow. anu no bitter word
ever fell from his lips He wore per-
petual smile, and men wondered to see
him SO merry, unseliisll aud generous.
After the disease had seized him iii its
grip aud bis days were numbered be
continued to do his editorial work. at
last he crawled from his bed and com
menced q leader for his paper. II was
beyond his strength and be was found
shortly afterward lying on the floor

Roman cure. Il is described as the
discovery of q physician 10 the mias.
matte old city Of the Caesars and
PointiIfs, where malaria is included
with every lodging without any extra
charge IN the bill. It consists simply
OF lemons cut up, peel and al, and
boiled, the juice being taken cold on
an empty stomach. The pharmacists
claimed that it has cured cases 90
stubborn that quinine bad no more
affect on them than sugar on salt.
The method Of preparation is 50 SIM

ment who chooses The lemon must
be cut up 10 small pieces, rind and
pulp, . good sized lemon being al
lowed TO . pint Of water. When the
water boils down 10 half pint tho
medicine is done. It muet then be
strained through cloth and put by
to cool. II Is sour enough to give

is from . teaspoonful 10 = tablespoon-

commencing to hoat around about
the lemon cure. and bids fair % be-
come very popular.

In SlIilIfulli Hands.

Much has been said and writer
as te the usefulness of alcohol in
the practice of medicine, and the
doctors, as in all cases, disagree as
to the advantages gained by It's
use. Some prefer the common
whisky. But there is considerable
danger in the use of mercury and
potash. These strong mineral
polsons, in the hands of skillful
physician, may be made to serve a
good purpose. We want it under
stood we make no war on the req
ular physician. The danger IN the
use OF these mineral poIsons is
when they are compounded by
lgnoramuSes into nostrums as gen
cral "curc-alls" The fearful re-
suits OF these nostrums are appar-
cnt to the casual observer on every
thoroughfare. We see mems faces
giving evidence of cxcruclatIng
pam, we note the hating step and
unwiedly crutch, we hear of sore
thfOatS ana loose teeth, OF dis
ord cred stomachs and loss OF ap-
petite, the emanciated form and
and sunken eyes, all tell of muir
dered constitutions by indiscrim-
mate use of these strong poisons.
1t as fortunate that a specific has
been discovered TO counteract these
evil consequences, and bring back
life and health and happiness to
the unfortunate victims. Swift's
Specific is that boon to humanity.

FIRE.-About 1 o'clock Friday
morning q coal oil lamp exploded
in the telephone exchange. Mrs.
Boyle, wife of the manager, was
sleeping in the next room and
heard the explosion. She at once
got up and attempted to smother
the flames, but was compelled to
call for assistance. Luckily there
was q hydrant, on the floor and
when assistance came few buckets
of water sufficed to extinguish the
the flames. but not until the contents
of the Office was thoroughly swing
ed and most OF the connections
with the switch boards burned or
melted off. The fire alarm was
sounded, but by the time the fire
department turned out the fire had
been conquered. 1t was very
narrow escape. The damage will
amount TO several hundred dollars
to the Telephone company and
upon which there is no insurance.
Manager Boyle, who was absent
experimenting the erection of the
line to Houston, returned early in
the morning and at once set to
work 10 repair damages. New
material to replace the damaged
has been ordered and by Monday
morning the the Hello" will all
be working order.

n. 0. Times Democrat: The
Signal Service officer who ridicul-
ed Prof. De Woes prediction, that
a blizzard would start south from
Montana Feb. 2 and sweep over
Texas and Louisiana, has been
boosted by his own petard. We
are entirely ignorant of the Hack
ensack professors methods, by
which he is able to predict meteor
illogical events several weeks IN
advance, but If he continues to
make as good guesses as he did
about the cyclone at Charleston
and Savannah, and the present
cold wave-both of which events
he HIT almost to the very hour
the Signal Service will perhaps
grow tired of applying the term
'simple humbuggery" to his Of
forts. AS to the present blizzard,
some OF its force and extent may
be cleaned from the dispatches,
which show that snow fell within
four miles of the City of Mexico,
the first time for twenty years.

day and have gone ont into differ
ent sections of the state to seek
homes. Several families have set
tied in this county. A number
went up the Little Rock and Fort
Smith railroad to Faulkner, Con-
way, Yell and adjacent counties, it
being their expressed wish to To-
cato in counties having as small 3
colored population as they can
find.
A majority Of the present crowd
are composed ofthe genuine South
Carolina Africans, and it will re-
quIre several generations of white
efforts 10 bring them up to that
point of civilization their moro in
telllgent brother could wish them
to occupy. Several very intelli-
gent colored men are with this
party and they say the reason for
their leaving South Carolina was
the high rate of taxation and poor
educational facilities IN that state,
and it is. their desire to become so
identIned with the white people of
Arkansas as to lnstil some Of the
ideas of white people into their
children.
Freedom seems to have improv-
ed most Of them but very little.
There are many more back IN North
and South Carolina and Georgia
awaiting reports from those who
have come out, and it they are IA
vorably impressed, the coming
spring will see the population of
those states diminish by several
thousand.
