Among the recent DEGREES made in France
is one relating to the inspection of butter for
the repression of fraudulent dealings. By
this, special persons are authorized to take
samples of butter in any place, whether the
butter is exposed for sale, stored in a ware
house or in transit by land or water. No OBJ
stacle is to be thrown in the way of this, and
all way bills, receipts, bills of lading, or dec
larations must be shown on demand. Each
sample taken is to be subjected to special
examination. Pure butter, mixed butter,
margarine, oleomargarine, and grease in
tended for consumption, forwarded in
transit must be contained in closed packages,
and the origin and nature of the merchsn-
disc must be conspicuously specified thereon.
In every way the article to be exported must
have its fall history recorded. d.-London

A cockRoACH MAIL CARRIER.



A common cockroach was trained to act
as letter carrier between William Rodifer
and starlight Jack" Ryan, conIcts in the
Southern Indiana penitentiary. 1t is prob
ably the first instance on record, too, where
there was any use found for this little crea-
ture. A writer in It'd Bits tells ihe story as
follows:
Rodifer occupied cell in tie tier just
above the one where Jack was confined, and
for long time they had no means of COM
munication with one another. kodifer was
daring fellow, but he had rot sufficient
imagination to get up plan of escape, and
he relied on the bright mind O his friend,
starlight Jack, to suggest an iiea-
One evening Rodifer noticed IN innocent
looking cockroach running atout on the
floor. After watching its gamb'lings for
time, he concluded he would use it. So,
writing a short note to his friene, he tied it
TO the coclroach's wing, and, keeling down
on the floor, he put it out on the wall under
the iron balcony in front of his cell. He
calculated that it would run nto the cell
underneath; and it did
Jack noticed the paper, cangh. the insect,
and read the note Then he ansTered it, and
poked tine little creature out IN the wall
from the ceiling over the door, where he re-
leased it, The roach went into lodifer's cell
and was caught Then they fec and cared
for it, and used it in this manner for some
months. In fact, it grew to Understand its
business.

CIRCULAR LETTER.
To the Voters of the 9th Congressional
 District of Arkansas:

After the Democratic Central Committee had on two occasions re- fused to call a convention to noml- nate a candidate for Congress in this district at the ensuing election (after being convened for that pur- pose) and being assured by Mr. c. J. Crump who is acting for the com mlttee, that no convention would be called to nominate candlda ate for congress, l acted upon the hypoth. esis that there would be no conven- ton. But on the day 1 left my home to mako this canvass, I was handed a letter from Mr. c. J. Crump stating that he had called a convention to nominate q Demo cratIc candidate foe congress. Strange coincidence. On that day l published card in which l announced that I would withdraw from the race If a Republican, were placed in the field by their party. To-day, 1 find a resolution publish ed by the Republican Congresslon- al Committe, from this distrlet, say ing tnat 'they would not place a candidate in the field in this dis triet, Fms obylates the necessity for 2 Democratic eonye ntion and makes sure the fact that a Demo crat will be elected from this dis triet. Therefore, in consideration to all these surrounding cireum stances l call upon all my friends to stand firm and not be driven from my support by the Hue and Cry upon the electon day that < Repnb- lican will be elected unless they float their votes to my opponent, Gel. Peel. This effort will be made hence cautlon you agamst 1t. l have announced it from every stump that fla Repu olIcan entered the field, 1 would potify my friends and have my name wlthdl pawn. l can now say to you this emergency VII! not arlse l hope my friends will not be driven from my sup port by false alarms, and by the insiHous methods that have been resorted 10, 10 create dissatistac- ton, distrust and suspicion, be- cause of my candidacy before the people whose powor reeognze as higher greater than that of an un
 friendly committee. The people who are the source of all political , power and to whom 1 appeal for election will determine who shall be their representative, from this district, in Congress. With their declsion 1 will be content and With nothing less.

\ Big Damage Suit.

A rather strange suit has just been instituted ;n the Washington county circuit court, al Fayette- vile. Benjamin c Cloar, clerk in the Famous boot and shoe store, has sled the City of Fayetteville for Sl0,00Q damages for false inn prisonment. It seems CIoar, is af- fiicted with rheumatism and on that account concluded he was not liable for street work or street tax; so when the street commissioner warn ed him to work ke declined to obey. In the mayors court on Fri day he was fined s and cost, amounting in all 10 over 80, for re- fuSing to work. Cloar said he of ferel to secure a physicians certlf- cate that he was physically unable to work, but the street commission CT or mayor would not accept It. 4 fter the fine was assessed Cloar refused to pay that. and was taken 10 the calaboose, where he was kept about an hour, until d brother-in- law paid the fine under protest and secured his release. The day he WAS put in confinement was cold and damp and the prisoner showed by his appearance that he was i'll. He now sues for false implison- ment, claiming that the city has no right to lmprlson a man tor debt.- Fayetteville Sentinel.

Your Friend Committed Suicide.

You never suspected it, none Of his
friends dreamed of it, he did not know
it himself, but it is exactly what he
did, nevertheless. Do you remember
his sallow complexion? Do you recol-
lect how he used to complain of head
aches and constipation? "I'm getting
quite bilious" he said to you one day,
"but guess it'll pass off. I haven't
done anything for it, because I don't
believe in dosing" Soon after that
you heard of his death. 1t was very
sudden, and everyone was greatly sur
prised. If he had taken DR.. Pierce's
Pleasant Purgative Pellets he would
be alive and well today. Don't follow
his example. The "Pellets" are easy
to take, mild in their action, and al
ways sure.
