Physicians and Persian Women.

When Persian lady is i'll and requires the
attentions of physician, she must be con-
cealed by screen, and he makes his inquiries
without seeing her. She may be permitted
to put out her hand and wrist in order that
her pulse may be felt, but only when actually
necessary Among the lower classes in the
villages little more freedom is permitted in
consulting doctor, for they live a more
communal life, and the physicians in the
rural districts are itinerants, who on arriv-
ing at village open an Office under broad
plane tree by the side of murmuring brook.
OF course veiled the women flock around
him, and he prescribes heroic doses, some
times adding charm to be worn over the
suffering member, consisting of an extract
from the koran inside of an amulet. After
dosing the village and carefully collecting
every fee on the spot, the rustic Esculapius
prudently decamps to the next village If
the patient RECEIVERS, praise is given to God
as well as to the doctor; if he or she dies, the
result is laid to kismet, or fate but a. the
same time it is well that the doctor should
not be on hand, for human wrath is liable to
overcome faith in the DEGREES of destiny

Chy Hoang Ty's Eatuous Freak.

Chy Hoang Ty, whose name signifed tho
first emperor, and who rendered himself for
ever famous by the erection Of the great
Chinese wall, which has now stood for 9. 600
years, by another act became entitled to quite
different species of fame. He ordered that
all the books Of the learned people, including
the works OF Confucius, should be cast into
the flames Many of the volumes, of course,
escaped this fate. through the zeal of those
who cultivated learning, but it is said that
upwards of 400 persons who tried to evade or
oppose the order were burned together with
the books they had wished to save AN eni-
nent authority il speaking of the act says:
1T Is not easy to explain the fantastic wick
edness of such an act on any common princi-
Piles, but cne reason alleged for it is the jeal-
ousy that this foolish emperor entertained for
the fame Of mis- progenitors, and the wish he
INDUCED that posterity should hear of none
before himself. Exchange.

Curing q HiccougIl.

Mr.. Smithkin had heard that sure cure
for a hiccough was a severe fright. One
evening, smoking at his fireside after supper,
he was taken with o hiccough, which con-
tinued in spite of all his efforts to check it.
Presently he got up suddenly from his chair,
and called out Ia alarm to Mrs. Smithkin:
"Tve lost my watchi I've lost my watch ="
Mrs Smithkin hastened into the room.
John Snithkini" she said, "what do You
mean" Why, you haint done any such
thing. Here's your watch all right, in your
vest pocket"
Don't you think know that?" said Mr..

A Smart Boy.

Sometimes children are wise beyond their
years. Up on one of the South Side avenues
is lady who is the mother Of q bright
youngster aged years. This youngster of
hers has annoyed her greatly by running
away, during the day, to the house of
neighbor about block away and hiding him
self there until some one is sent after him.
Rather than be annoyed in hunting after him
his mother called on the lady who owned the
Children in the next block, and came to an
understanding with Eer. "When l am will
ing that George should call on your chill
dren.n she said, 81 will write note to that
effect and pin it on his arm. In the note l
viii state what time want him sent home,
and you can act accordingly" Well, the
other lady agreed to this plan. A day or SO
later the youngster appeared at her house
with note pinned on his arm. She thought
It was all right and she allowed him to play
with her children until she thought it time to
look and see when he was to be sent home.
When she unfolded the paper she saw moth
ing but a lot of scribbling and she asked
the youngster what it meant. 'Well," he
said, "my mamma was asleep when wanted
to come up here, SO | wrote the note myself"
The lady was dumfounded. The wise young
ster had seen his mother write the notes
which gave him his freedom, SO he thought,
as she was asleep when he wanted to go, that
he might as well write note himself rather
than disturb her That boy will never get
left.-Chicago Herald

THE Clarendon Sun advocates the establishment of a representative democratic paper at Little Rock and reads a caustic lecture to the capital city dailies for sins of commission and omission. There is no dlsguis ing the fact that there lsa growing dissatisfaction among the masses, whether founded on truth or error. There is no one, we presume, who will question the democracy of the editor of the Democrat or of the Ga zette, but when it is reported and never contradicted that the latter journal:so ch anged communication sent to it by ex-Gov. Hughes that it lost most of its effectiviness and re. fused to publish without amending a
 a reply from a citizen of Conway county to strictures upon himself contained on article published in the paper, It is evident that there is . power behind the throne that directs affairs into & different channel than seems best to the democratic breth- ren.

GOVERNOR EAGLE has done many things since his induction into office which commend him as a firm, reso lute and level. headed executive, but nothing has been more timely or happily conceived than hIs veto of the resolution allowing Mir. Nor wood to withdraw his contest. The Governors reasons are to the point and well worth reading. We ap- pend them below:
 "In this petition Mir. Norwood al leges that he was elected to the office I am now occupying, but by fraud perpetrated against the ballot in va rious localities, more than 20 coun ties being enumerated by him, he has been deprived of the office to which the people elected him and his party of the fruits of its victory. Either this is true or it is not If true, that fact ought to be ascertained speedily and the wrong lighted. If untrue, the charges should be refuted by in contestable testimony and branded as false and slanderous. Such charg- es having been entertained by the General Assembly, the only tribunal that can pass on 1t, feel that 1t is but just to me, just to the party whose standard bearer l was Tn the recent election, as we'll as just to the people of Arkansas, that it should be inves tigated and the truth made known and the good name of the State win dlcated. If l was not elected Gov ernor by legal and constitutional methods I ought not to be acting in that capacity, and if l, after such charges ss are contained in Mir. Nor. woods petition are made, were to ap-

TIE death of Clayton is cause for universal regret, and every honest citi- zen deeply deplores it. The crime is one of the blackest on the calendar. and the guilty man merits the severest pun ishment. But the assassin of Clayton is guilty of no higher crime against so- ciety than the man or men who are us- ing the deed as means to asperse the good name of Arkansas, and the domin- ant party in the state for political pur- poses. It is high time democaatic jour nals and our state officers were realizing this fact, and treating these miscreants accordingly. There has been enough cringing and sack cloth and ashes-in fact too much. The democratic party Is not responsible for the death ofClayton and it ought to stand up fiat-footed and pronounce the man who dares to insin- uate such thing an infamous defamer. --Batesville Guard.
 That is just the way we feel about it! The assassination was coward ly outrage, which all good men de- plore, and which is unfortunate for the state, just as arc all such crimes, but will not work half the injury to the state as will those politicians and papers which attempt to saddle the responsibility of the assassination upon the democratic party--a party that embraces patriotism, intelli- gence, and believes in the fullest en- | forcemens of the law and the prompt punishment of crime.-TexarkaDa Independent.
 The attempt to saddle this crime upon the democratic party of the State, or upon the democratic party of Conway county is an infamous outrage originating with and circu' lated by men who would wink and conniVe at any crime committed by the republican party to obtain power or seek partlzan advantage. Why is it these fellows have never called the Garfield assassination political mur der? Suppose Guiteau had been s democrat2 The world would never have heard the last of It from libelers and slanderers who are trying tc make political capital out of the death of member of their party Guiteau was a republican and the or gans of that party smoothed the af far over by saying he was crank Guiteau was the friend of Conkline and the enemy of Blaine. Will re publicans inform the public whether according to their theory, Conkline or Blaine was responsible for tht death of Garfield2 Let editors ant their followers be honorable and de cent. Let them denounce crime 1T unmeasured terms, but let them no visit the crime upon innocent thous ands, many of whom to this day doe' not know the crime has been com mItted.
