An illustration

Of the value of extensive and judi cous advertising of any article of undoubted merit Is found in the re- markable success of the California Fig Syrup O., which has simply been phenomenal, even in this age of great enterprises.
 Organized few years ago to man ufacture new and more perfect rem edy than had ever been produced, \ laxative with original and attractive features, prepared from delicious fruits and health-giving plants. one which would be pleasant and refreshing to the taste. as we'll as really beneficial to the system, the management very wisely concluded to select the leading newspapers throughout the United States to make known to the public the merits of the new remedy, Syrup Of Figs. Recognizing the FORREST CITY TIMEs AS a most valuable advertising medium. arrangements were made with It for the attractive advertisement which appears in our advertising col umns. As happens with every valua- ble remedy, cheap substitutes arc being offered to the public, but with the general diffusion of knowledge it is becoming more difficult each day to impose on the public. Health is too important to be trifled with. and repu- table druggists will not attempt to de ceive the public, as they all know that Syrup of Figs is manufactured by the California Fig Syrup Co. of San Fran cisco, Cal, Louisville, Ky, New York N. Y. Do not accept any cheap, non advertised limitations if offered.

Al Interesting Letter.


 It affords me pleasure to congratu- late the people Of St. Francis county upon the fact that we arc to have a Summer Normal to begin Juno 2d next. This will be an opportunity that ought to be appreciated by the teachers and the patrons of schools sll over the county With very little trouble, footwsys could be placed across wet places and tho schools opened through the winter and spring months. which is really tho best time for pupils to study. and it would give the teachers a chance to attend the Normal. 1 csn not sse why teachers from other states should cons and occupy the places that ought to be Oiled by our own teachers, This is what will be done in the near future, unless our teachers prepare for their work.
 People all over the country are be- ginning to realize that teaching iS \ profession, and that noue but trained teachers are in demand.
 II we take a knowledge of the text books of the common school branches for our standard, then we have d few in the county who are long way alove par, and not few below par The standard, however, is not what it should be. A thorough knowledge of text books and the ability to hog, keep order, and hsar lessons does not make one competens to teach. To be able to develop the childs three fold nature, to make him strong physically, mentally and morally, is what IS e1- pected of the teacher to-day, and it is . high art.
 The true teacher feels that a great responsibility is resting upon hln, and that no pains, no amount of lsbor is too great to fit him to discharge his duty of training the youth to become useful members Of society.
 To be q successful teacher one must come in personal contact with profes- sionnl teachers at work, and imbioe the spirit, zeal and enthusiasm of professional instructors.

 We sre glad, indeed, to hay. these free, unsolicited expressions from our county examiner, and we gladly give them place i'll this column. While tnls department is not edited in be- half of our proposed Summer Normal, |, yet we feel that this Communication of Prof. Durham is practical and to the point, because it applies to the best interests of the schools throughout this and adjacent counties. We want to see better systsm and the most effective work done that can possibly be accomplished. Let patrons and directors give these matters eSreful thought. If acted upon, we believe great good would be the inevitable re- suit. Let others follow Prof. Dur hams examples. and give us such suggestions as are of practical purport, and calculated to advance our school interests

The Senatorial Gerrymander.

That the Democratic apportlon-
ment is a gerrymander, even DR.. An
derson would hardly have the ter
merity to deny. This morning The
Sentinel gives the population, vote,
ect., OF the proposed senatorial dis
tricts. The object was to make the
next senate Democratic, since a
United States senator is to be elected.
1t will be Democratic. To accom-
plish this, a great many people are
left without fair representation, and
that, rather than the partisan results,
is the crime.
On the basis of the vote of 1888, the
Democrats have thirteen and the Re-
publicans seventeen districts, with
three doubtful. The average popula-
ton of the Republican districts is So
696, while the average population Of
the Democratic districts is only 49,
154.
Some of the details of thegerryman-
der are given with the figures and
they are humiliatingt to all fairminded
Democrats. One instance will serve
here for many. Brown county Dem.
adjoins Kewaunee county (Dem).
The two would make a district of So
BIT population. Door, Marinette
and Oconto would make a district of
$4,000 population. This would give
one Democratic and one Republican
district. But in order to make two
Democratic districts, Brown, with a
population of only 39,164, is madea
district, and Kewaunee is added to
Door and Marinette, with q popula-
ton of 50, Alternating a difference
of $4,000 in the population of the
two districts. Oconto, also, is added
to a Democratic district which has a
population OF only IS, Jos. This is
a fair sample of the work, -Mizwaukee

Free Sugar Beet Seed, and Free An
alysis of Sugar Beets.
AGRICULTURAL EXPERIMENT STATION, |

AGRICULTURAL EXPERIMENT STATION,
MADISON, WIS, April Is, 1891.
The subject of sugar beet culture is a
very important one at this time. If
Wisconsin can produce her own sugar
proftably, it should be done. Only
when we have learned what it costs to
grow crop of beets, the number of
tons that can be produced per acre, the
percentage of sugar contained in the
juice and its purity, can we intelligent
ly discuss the question of proftably
producing sugar from the beet. To help
on this work we have procured con-
siderable quantity of sugar beet seed
from Germany, and 80 long as the sup
ply lasts will send it in one-pound
packages to all farmers in the state who
send us their names with postoffice ad-
dress, enclosing eight cents in stamps
to pay return postage. Directions for
planting, cultivating, etc., will be sent
with the seed. Samples Of the beets
may be sent to this station next fall,
when they will be analysed free of
charge. Farmers are urged to form So
cieties for the purpose of cooperation
and making greater advancement in
studying the subject.

The Romance of Washing.

1t is wonderful how every little duty
and necessity of every day life is sur
rounded with halo of charm and legend
ary lore. Some things seem so simple
and practical that we imagine that moth
ing of weird description can possibly
De associated with them. yet in many in
stances the simpler the operation the
greater the affinity it appears to have
for things supernatural.
Ofhand, we should say that washing
cannot be invested with any romance,
but old wives will tell us otherwise
Woe betide the person that dares to wash
his or her hands in the same basin of
water that has been or will be used by
another individual They will be sure
to quarrel. Or, again, if you wipe your
hands upon the same towel and at the
same time with another person, you and
that person will at some period of your
lifetime go begging together.
The late Cuthbert Bede, however, tells
us that he was informed in Ruthland-
shire that these dreadful things would not
happen provided you first made the sign
of the cross over the water. Another
curious thing, too, in connection with
this is that the quarrel only supervened
when basin of water was used. You
might wash together in a running stream
as often as you pleased and no i'll effect
would come of fit.-Chambers' Journal.

How Leap Year Started.

Hampson. in his "Medii GVL. Kalan-
darium," quotes the following quaint
tradition from an old Saxon treatise:
Some assert that the bissextus or leap
day comes through this, that Joshua
prayed to God that the sun might stand
still for one days length. that he might
sweep the heather from the land that
God had granted him and his followers.
1t is true that the sun did stand still for
one days length over the city of Gebaon,
but the day went forward in the same
manner.as other days. And the bissex-
tus is not through that. as some do
think" In France and some parts of
Spain and Portugal there exists a ira
dition known as the ghost of leap
year" Believers in this say that mar
vellous monster annually appears on
leap day and disarranges human affairs
for the remainder of the year.-St. Louis
