There is probably as Stuttgart, and its growth is due in the main to the judicious use of printers ink. it is sit. uated on the Grand Prairie, in ArkAnsas county, in . beautiful and healthy place, around which the land is very nne.
 An advertisement was placed ia THE AR. kANsAw TRAvELER by the progressive citi- Eens of this place over year ago. offering an acre of land near Stuttgart 10 each new sub. the effect of attracting attention to the town. and, as is the case with all Arkansas towns of any public spirit. when people came to in vestigate they were surprised and pleased.

Comfort to Smokers. GentlemAn's Magazine.

The experiments of V. Tassinari will rejoice the hearts of many smokers. He cemented together by their wide mouths two glass tunnels, 30 as to form a cigar holder with 6 large chamber in the middle. Tn this chamber was suspended from loop of platinum a piece of linen. At the end of this cigar holder was plug of cotton wool acting as a smoke filter. A cigar was placed in the other end, lighted and smoked secundum arten, the mouth of the smoker being attached to the Altering end. By this arrangement the piece of linen was surrounded by dense cloud of tobacco smoke.
 At the end of half an hour, during which three and half to four grammes (about one-eighth of an ounce) of tobacco was smoked, the chamber was opened and the linen allowed to fall into & test tube con- taining fluid gelatine in which were planted colonies of seven varieties of pathogenic microbia, including those of cholera, anthrax (chicken cholera), and pneumonia. In every instance there was a marked delay in develop ment of these colonies as compared with what occurred in similar test tubes charged with the same, but not exposed to tobacco smoke; the devel- opment of some was entirely prevented by the tobacco smoke. The special constituent of the smoke that has this effect is to be the subject of further investigation.
 1 venture to suggest practical application. There is little doubt that contagious diseases are in these days frequently communicated by the aid of railway carriages, especially first class carriages, seeing that their cushions and paddings supply nur- series for microbes, and that invalids usually travel by first-class, even those who would take third class fin good health.
 Therefore, at times when dangerous infection prevails, those who are liable to such infection should select smok- ing carriages, the cloth Things of which have been subjected to a treat ment similar to that of the piece of linen suspended in Signor Tsssinsri's experimental smoking compartment.

THE DISTRIBUTION.
Mir. C. T. Walker Awards Twenty-seven
 Farms to Our Subscribers.

Several weeks ago the publishers of TIE ARKANsAw TRAVELLER were noti- fed by MT. C. T. Walker of Little Rock, Ark, that on March II he would award to twenty seven of our subscribers the twenty seven Arkan- saw farms, offered by him as special premiums in connection with our one acre fruit garden premium offer, advertised SO extensively some months ago.
 So, on Thursday, March l4th., a member of TIE ARKANSAw TRAVELER PUBLISHING COMPANY, representing our subscribers, together with two disinterested persons, met MT. Walker at the National bank of Little Rock, of which he IS cashier, and the awards were fairly, and impartially made as guaranteed. No one but himself knew in what manner the distribution would be effected, yet all must agree that the following method is fair, impartial and speedy, and must certainly be satisfactory to all concerned.
 "On February lst. lssS ;" said MT. Walker, "so soon as I had decided to add this special donation of 12S0 acres to THE ARKANsAw TRAVELLERS one acre tract premium offer, and nearly one month before the offer was pub lished, had prepared 5000 small cards numbered from 1 to 5000. These cards were thoroughly mixed, and disinterested persona clerk in the bank-was directed to draw from the lot at random twenty seven cards. The first one drawn was placed in an envelope, upon which had previously written '160 acres; the second and third cards were placed in envelopes each marked eighty acres; the re- maining twenty-four cards were each placed in an envelope marked forty acres. did not, nor did the person who drew the cards see the numbers or know what they were; or, if we had, the receipts and subscriptions being issued by the publishers of the paper, the knowledge could be of no service to me.
 These twenty seven envelopes were carefully sealed by myself, and all placed in large envelope, bearing my private seal, and placed in the vault of the bank to await the day of dis tribution. Twill produce the package. The envelope was handed to THE TRAvELER representative, who broke the seal, and removed the twenty seven smaller envelopes, which were

 If these subscribers will forward their original receipts to Mir. c. T. Walker, Little Rock, Ark, deeds will at once be issued to them. We wish to congratulate those of our sub- scribers who have benefited by MT. Walkers gifts, and to thank them all for the patience they have shown in waiting 30 long for this distribution to take place. We regret extremsly that it should have been delayed at ali. Had all the property owners of Ar kansas county been as enterprising as are MT. T. H. Leslie, of the Grand Prairie Real Estate exchange, Stutt- gart, Ark, and Mir. c. T. Walker, of Little Rock, we would have been able to provide good homes for all who cared to take advantage of our liberal offer, and made Arkansas county the most populous and thrifty agricultu- ral section of the state. As it is, hun dreds of families have moved to that county, influenced by our advertise ments. The following from the Little Rock Gazette of January 29th will serve to show a part of what THE TRAvKLER has accomplished. The extract speaks only of the town of Stuttgart, making no mention of the

Mir. Walker then announced: "The various tracts are hereby awarded to those subscribers holding receipts from the publishers of TIE ARKAN- SAW TRAvELER bearing numbers cor responding to the numbers upon the twenty seven cards which you have just taken from the envelopes. Deeds will be issued free to each of the for tunate parties upon presentation to me of the numbered receipts as vouch- CTS. l declare that the distribution of these lands is made by me without favor, partiality or reserve. re- gret that the distribution could not have been made earlier but circum- 5tdTTCc5 wUTU sTfTff I U0uiTf TTUH ifFT-iuS- tice to myself give away these valua- ble properties until the advertising promised by the publishers of TIE ARKANSAw TRAVELLER had been given. Through the failure of other parties to supply the number of acre gardens promised, understand, the offer with which mine was combined was neces- sarily withdrawn. I am glad to say now, however, that the agreement has been fully complied with, and Arkan- saw county has acquired a large and thrifty population. The twenty-seven persons who will receive these farms have acquired properties which, by means of this advertising, are worth nearly twice as much az when offered them as premiums"
 Reference to the receipt stubs show the receipts bearing the numbers an- nounced by MT. Walker to have been issued to the following parties:
