fewer than there have been within any twelve months in the history of the institution. It shows that the men are humancly treated and that proper safe guards have been placed about them to prevent their escapes. Nothing has occurred during the year to cmbarrass the administration. everything working smoothly. there being total absence of everything that smacks of scandal. Inspector Carroll has attended to his duties in a careful and efficient manner, and all the suggestions made by him on the Penitcutiary Board for the better regulation of the management have been adopted without complaint. There is no penitcniiary in the South, or anywhere else. that can show a better record ;n regard to the safe-secling of the convicts, than the one in this Statc.- - Arkansas Gazette.

Effects of Close Shaving.

Do you know what close shave means! 1 never did until l looked at a face the other day, through q microscope, which had been treated to this luxurious process. Why, the entire skin resemblcd piece of raw beef. To make the face perfectly smooth requires not only the remov- al of the hair, but also portion of the cuticle, and close shave means the removal of layer of skin all around. The blood vessels thus eX- posed are not visible to the eye, but under the microscope each little quivering mouth, holding T minute blood drop, protest, agains; ~'ica treatment. The nerve tips are also uncovered, and the pores are left unprotected, which makes the skin tender and unhealthy This sudden exposure of the inner layer of the skin renders person liable to have colds. hoarseness and sore throat - Medical Classics.

We have received from James Wick. Rochester, N. r., his Floral Guide, which in beauty of appear ance and convenience of arrangement surpasses anything in this line which we have ever had the privilege of seeing before. 1t is pamphlet eight by ten inches Tn size. and with the covers, which are by no means the least important part of it, con tains an even one hundred pages. Although called floral guide," it is devoted to vegetables as well, and contains as full list and description of both flowers, vegetables, and also small fruits as could he brought within the compass of book of this size.
 We advise all our readers to send lOc for the Guide (which can be de- ducted from first order) and if there are any of our lady friends who can succeed in growing a natural rose which will compare in beauty with the New Striped Rose thown in the illustration. we should like to receive an invitation to call and see 1t.

Mary's Little Pup.

Mary had little brute as fat as it could waddlc. and everywhere that Mary'd scoot this little pup would toddlc. 1t tagged her down the street one day, close up behind her buggy; oh, how it loved io run and play, this naughty little buggy. Twas always doing something wrong when Mary turned her back !: and all the time he seemed to long 10 walk the railroad track. One day when Mary was at church, this frisl>y little scamp, thought he would leave her in the lurch and go and play the tramp. So down upon the ties he trod, the ones the poor tralnps use, till worn out, on the track he squats and drops into a snooze. He, fast asleep, did not observe-ah, sad indeed the story--thc fast express comes round the curve; that pup went up to glory. There came along the butcher man. who once had loved that pup, and with brush and big dnst pan he swept that poor dog up. Next Wednesday Mary got him back; he did not look the same; he did hot come when she called Jack

The Penitentiary.

A Gazette reporter, while in the neighborhood of the penitentiary yesterday, dropped into the business offices of the institution and asked to look at the books of the lessccs, which are always open to anybody
 for inspection. The roster shows that there are Sl6 prisoners in the institution, including United States prisoners. The record also shows that the health of the inmates has been good during the year; in fact
 better than any previous year. The men are worked in ten different To- calities throughout the State, some at the penitcntiary, the balance on farms, bikes, railroads, at wood camps and brick yards. There are more men in the penitentiary now than during any year since 1t was built, and yet the escapes have been

 "IIas hc!" Nell changed color her bright eyes grew brighter still
 And that poor sister of his i- dead. Oh, Nell, think he felt the need of your sympathy and consola- tion. said what l could, but of course it wasn't as If I had been you. And oh, Nell! what do think He said this family had always seemed very near to hm-and that he hoped one day to call me his sister,"
 Nell flew upstairs to her room, only stopping to hug and kiss Jean nic. It was true, then. Colonel Harper Dale did call for her.
 Mrs. Dollard thought that under the circumstances they were quite justified in ordering Ncll's trous- seau.
 "Such things take so long" said she. And if Colonel Dale goes to Europe in the fall as people say he will, he'll want to start off with very little notice. It couldn't do any harm to be ready"
 But Mir. Dolard shook his head. "Wait until he has formally pro- posed" said he.
 Colonel Dale, as it happened, pro posed that very afternoon. in the lit : tie back office at Mir. Doilard's place of business.
 "lou are aware, sir, of my poor sisters death," said he, "and vou can probably understand that it has made me restless and anxious for a change. shall visit Europe earlier than I had originally intended. and, with your permission and her con sent. 1 shall take your daughter with me as my wife"
 "Mr. Dollard's heart lcapcd within him.
 ''Of my permission. Colonel" said he, you may be very sure. As to my girls consent--''iat you'll have to find out for your,clf.' .'
 ''I will go to her at once,' said Colonel Dale.
 Mir. Dollard was delayed at his of- flee later than usual that evening. It was past nine before he reached home.
 "Wcll, Nelly" said he, to his youngest daughter, who was reclin- ing sleepily on the lounge with q novel, "has he been herc:'
 "Has who been here, papa."
 Colonel Dale"
 Nel! blushed very prettily.
 What should bring Colonel Dale here, papa" said she, fci"ning un- consciousness.
 "Nothing-only he asked my per mission this afternoon to come court ing herc,' said MT. Dollard :, jocosely.
 "Oh, papa." cried Nell, her color growing more vivid than ever.
 "Nell's fortune is madc!" cried the four other Dollard girls in chorus, as they viewed her with envious eyes.
 Just then the bell rang, and in walked the hero of the hour.
 Congratulate me, sir" said Col. Dale, wringing the hand of his faith cr-in-law elect. "She has promised to be my wife!'
 "Why, man alive!" cried Mir. Dol lard, "you haven't even spoken to her."
 Not spoken to her, Why, she has accepted mel
 "Who has accepted you:" de- handed Dollard.
 The sweetest girl in the world your daughter Myra!"
 So Myra Dollard was the first bride of the family, after all, to the immense amazement and chagrin of her five sisters. Her unvarying sweetness and patience with poor Celestne Dale, her beauty and spirit had won Harper nale's heart,

DON'TS FOR GIRLS.

Don't encourage young men to call upon you who frequent liquor saloons, billiard parlors, or pool rooms.
 Don notice men who stare at you on the street, even if it is a well-brcd stare. Doubtless they think them selves irresistible and that you are very much impressed with their ap. pearancc.
 Don't stand at street corners talk ing to young men, though they are acquaintanccs.
 Don't think It is sign of popular ity to have several young men seek ing your company at every oppor- tunity.
 Don't accept promiscuons invita- tions. It only chcapcnS you, and may draw you into a circle of ac- quaintances you may regret having formed.
 Don't sanction wine drinking when out to parties or wedding. Your simple act of declining the proIfered glass may act as q check upon your companion. Ticil disapproval some. times does more good than he most eloquent temperance lecture.
 Don't marry q drinking man. If the sweetheart will not give up the dangerous habit. it is certain the husband will not.
 Don't allow men to be familiar with you, to use slang or doubtful expressions in your presence.
 Don't make appointments with men at any other place but your fathers house.
 Don't expect to have exclusive use of the parlor for yourself and callers. Others of the family have the same rights as yourself, and your conversation can and ought not to he of so private a nature that the presence of a third person is felt to be restraint.
 Don't attempt to copy the manners and dress of your brothers. Moth ing so unscxcs woman as mascu- line ways.
 Don't use loud tones in talking, nor call men by their last names without the usual prefix. Men may treat you as good comrade, but they very rarely marry such girls.
 Don't set your mind too much on dress. While it your duty to look your very best with the means at your command, it is wrong to give SO much time and thought to the adornment of your person, while your mind is starving for want of proper food. You need not be a blue stocking, but a good healthy course of reading and thinking is splendid gymnastics for your mental powers.
 Don't be deceived that men want to raise family of Amazons. Re- member that while men apparently have more license than women, still they expect their wives to be like Cesar's, "beyond reproach."
 Don't come down to breakfast in q soiled wrapper, slovenly shoes, with your "bangs" done up in curl pa pers, and back hair in a cracker knot on the top of your head. You will never see any one any better to dress for than those in the home cir cle. They are the ones to be chcered by your sweet. wholesome appear ance, and not strangers.
 Don't be ashamed to help mother with the housework A practical knowledge of bread making, cooking and the general management of a house is worth more than a smatter- ing of music or painting.
 In a word, girls, try to be true wo- men, and by so doing you will gain an influence, which, like q sweet per fune, will shed it's fragrance upon all with whom you may he brought in contact. Ladies Home Journal.

Mr. DOliard'S Six Daughters

 i five guinea-fowls might eye : spcckled partridge who nultered un cNpec:edly into their poultry-yard.
 Fifteen years ago. when Aun Dorcas Dollard came from the Stat, of Rhode Island to visit her brother in New York, the had taken the mid de daughter home with her to bring up.
 "Six girls are too many for an, household" said she; and the old house at home is empty and silent Fl take one back with me-
 (Which one:" said Mrs. Dollard with rather an alarmed look at hel flock.
 ''Oh, we'll draw lots for that, said Aunt Dollard.
 The lot fell on Myra. Conse. quently Myra, dimpled dumplin2 of four years, returned to Rhode Island with Aunt Dorcas, and the home circle knew her no more. Now the old lady was dead, and Myra had came back to her fathers house.
 "Hasn't she grown tall:" said Euoenia. who was herself inclined tG be short and stocky.
 ',Isn't she pretty:'' said .Jeannie, who had been christened Jane.
 Not exactly pretty" pronounced fastidious Marian, but stylish-yes, quite stylish"
 But she doesn't know anything about the piano." whispered Nell. And she thinks our kensington- stitched lambrcquins are hideous- and she was going to help Bridget with the dishes, only mamma stopped her just in time"
 And her gown are all last season : cut :" said Adelaide, turning up her Greek nose.
 Myra, on her side, had ideas also.
 ''Why," said she. ''you girls don't do anything!"
 ''Yes. we do, :" said Jeannie. Lots of things"
 We practice said Nell, and we embroder.
 And we go into society,"" added Marian. "and we read all the newest literature.
 "Oh." said Myra. "Fathcr is very rich, l suppose:'
 "No, he isn't" sighed Eugenia. How funny you do talk, Myra. His income is horribly small; and it's growing smaller every year since there's so much competition in the manufacture of wall paper. We're all as poor as church mice"
 Then" said Myra, "why don't you do something! To help him, mean"
 The girls looked blankly at eacl other.
 "It wouldn't do," said Nell. "We should lose our position in society,"
 "Oh, bother society," said Myra
 Truly this newcomer was more patridge-like than ever in the family of guinea-fowls.
 "Mother," said Myra, "I'll make the desserts it costs too much to or der them from the confectioner s. You don't know what nice pies and custards l can make -
 But, my dear, what will Bridget think?"
 "What does it matter what sht thinks:" said independent Myra. And look here, mother; the Chinese laundry bill was three dollars last week and five the week heiore. Af- ter this I'm going to do up my own frilled things and yours, too, and I'll show the girl how to do theirs"
 "Oh, my dear, you can't" said Mrs. Dollard.
 .'Why can't r." said Myra. "l always used to do Aunt Dorcas i'n' things. She wouldn't trust any on' else"
 ''But Parsley Farm wasn't New York.
 That makes no difference, c,' sai' Myra. The expenses here ar' something awful, and father looks s' fired and worried.

Special crops are just now made very
profitable by farmers who are able to un.
dertake their culture. We say able, be-
cause this ability is an acquired habit,
and does not 'icome naturally" to them.
A specialist is person who gives his
whole thought and work to one thing.
1t may be fruit growing, wheat, pota-
toes, hops, beans, poultry, sheep, the
dairy, or any other branch of agricul-
ture. But the whole man is thoroughly
imbued with enthusiasm in his specicl
industry. That he is successful goes
without saying, for when one fails in any
special business it is simply aud always
for want of enthusiasm, and the perse-
vcrance and persistence which grow out
of it. The culture of any special crop
nccessitates a certain suitable rotation of
culture, as, for instance, with potatoes,
which como between two crops Of wheat,
with clover and timothy between them
Such rotation, with a liberal manur-
ing, made possible by feeding large
crops of hay, is excellent for the soil,
and no surprise need be manifested that
the potato farmer gets rich. Grass and
clover two years, followed by wheat,
MANFRED, then potatoes, then early pota-
toes, then wheat, followed by grass and
clover, with good culture, will bring in
an average of at least $50 per acre yearly,
an income which will enable any careful
man to accumulate moderate wealth.
