Our Work is All Right.

There are many carpers who are prone to snarl and whine concerning the inefficicency of the machinery supplied to some of the newest Amer ican cruisers. Even if there was foundation for some of the com- plaints, we are certainly no worse off than are the foreign navies. The shoddy work on the British cruisers Barham, Bellona, Centsur and some others was not confined to their ma chinery, but the plates of the armor decks of some of them were actually put in place with rough instead of planed edges, SO that the water would have streamed through the de. fective joints to the rooms and decks below. The French cruiser Forbin's machinery is said to have been so badly turned out that good many thousands of dollars must be spent to make the necessary repairs. The French ironclad Requin, when docked recently to have her bottom cleaned, was found to have many rivets so badly put in that the plates were open in many pla ,es at the joints, and one of the compartments was full of water. In the case of the machinery of some of these vessels it is not so much the faults of construc- ton as it is of design due to a cray ing for excessive lightness.-New York Tribune.

One Kind of Luck.

Two Detroit men were walking down town one morning, when they saw one of pack of cards lying face down on the sidewalk, One of the men was superstitious. The other had no faith in signs.
 ''It that card proves to be the ace of spades," said the superstitious one, I will have luck all this month";
 He picked it up, and, sure enough, it was the ace of spades, which was quite remarkable coincidence. He pocketed the card.
 During the month his horse ran away with him, smashing valuable buggy and spraining his ankle and a confidential clerk embedded large g III of money.
 His friend was making him a sympathetic call and alluded testing ly to the card episode. ''I never believed in such tokens myself and, you see, it didn't mean luck for you.'
 "Oh, yes, it did," said the super stitious man cooly, 'bad luck. D. Free Press.

Dress in the Navy.

Americsn naval officers are men of many clothes, and the official eti- quette of dress aboard ship is appall- ing to 6 landsmsn. Every officer must have four or five styles of hats and caps, at least as many different kinds of coats, and even prescribed styles of Beckties in considerable variety. The captain ordinarily pre- scribes the uniform of the day, but when flagship is within signaling distance of another man-ofwar the admiral is the authority on clothes as on other things. To appear on deck with the wrong necktie is to invite a reprimand. Subalterns, who are a good deal given to grumbling, insist that most commanders prescribe the uniform of the day without consider ing the thermometer, with the result that everybody swelters in thick blue brosdcloth on hot days and shiyers in white duck when the weather is cool.-Ex.

Why the Boys Leave the Farm.

The answer is -evident-per- petual toll in good weather all through the busy season, and per petual loneliness in bad weather and most of the winter season. The time when the farmers have leisure is, in half the country, the very time when they cannot get away from home by reason of their isolation and bad roads; yet such is the hunger of the heart that the boys revolt against this uncomfortable loue- illness and even now often walk miles through the rain or the snow to spend half day in sitting around the stove in the country store Already in many sections, the young people of both sexes have broken through the barriers and established farmers clubs and little societies of one sort or another; and improved roads have done much to aid this relief. But why should not this natural tendency be reasonably directed, and all ages and both sexes enjoy their long winter evenings together. John w. Bookwslter in the Forum.

A PANEGYRlC.

In the current issue of The Arkan- sas Baptist appears the following beautiful tribute to "woman," from the pen of MT. Chas. II. Mcclure, of Little Rock. It appears in the body of an article eulogizing the work oi the w. c. T. U.:
 "Woman, in her perfect state, is but one degree removed from the an gels. She is he one link that binds man to Heaven. It is through her beneficent il fuence that he may at- tain to dignity and honor-I came near saying respectabilitY-in this life; and from her he ob- tains his likeness unto G d and his hopes for the life that is to come. Woman is Gods. best and noblest gift to man. She guioes our feet in infancy and directs our mind in the pathway of virtue. She supports our manhood and teaches us to be virtu- ous for the sake of the teachings we love. When prostrate in sin, she points sloft to Heaven and bids us look to God, around whose throne sister spirits of hers robed in purity dwell in light. '"

The Age of Man.

When was man first placed on earth? No one can answer the ques- tion. Hugh Miller says that mans habit of burying his dead out of sight makes it very easy to be mistaken on that point; for, because of burial, mems bones may be found among the animals that have lain in the earth for ages. There is one thing, how. ever, that gives an inkling of when he came. Certain tools, that only man could have made, have been found buried in caves, in peat beds, and in the bottom of lakes. Often these are covered by layers of sock, and, by calculating how long it rock to make the layers, 8 guess can be made as to when the tools were put there. Still, it is only a guess, and no one pretends to re- gard the question as settled because under the same conditions the layers would be made much faster than under others. But the bones of cer. tain animals, the mammoth and other great creatures of that time, which have long since died, have been found with these tools. By calcu- lating in what ages these animals lived, and how long it takes race of animals to die out, surer result can be arrived at. In cave in England buried under limestone layer, from one to fifteen inches thick, tools have been found mingled with the bones of elephants, tigers, rhinoceri and hyenas, which roamed over that country thousands and thousands of years ago. The peat bogs of what is now Denmark and Scandinavia are filled with stone tools. Some have been found in beds of gravel, underlying peat which is certainly 1000 years old. This seems to show that man must have dwelt ou earth at least as many years ago.-St. Nicholas.

Cattle at the Ford.

"One of the prettiest sights in all the world, to my mind," said an Arizona cattleman, lis big band of cattle fording wide, deep stream. When the leaders have reached the further side there is bow shaped line of horns and heads showing how the mid-stream current carries them down. The sharp-pointed horns look like line of bayonets. One time last February I saw such 8 sight. That time, however, it was not so pleasing. We were driving out about 600 head of stock cattle to California, and had struck the Colo rado river at Fort Yuma. The river was at flood stage, so we split the drove up into punches of twenty each. I was getting the fourth bunch across, and had them about halfway over when there was tremendous terrifying roar. Look ing up stream I saw wall of debris and drift, forty feet high, coming down like an avalanche. In the few seconds watched it sweeping down I could see that there were houses, cattle, horses, barns and haystacks caught in the great mass. It was a pretty close cali, but we made the bank just in time. As the last steer scrambled up the bank the freshet rushed by us with the speed of an ex- press train. I got word over to tue main herd, and told the men to drive up the river until we could cross. It was three weeks before we met again, and in that time the herd and the men on the other side had some terrible experiences, struggling through miles of sand where there was not blade of grass or drop of water. There was one stretch of eighty miles without water.-St. Louis Globe. Democrat.

The LuckY Fignre Nina.

The figure nine is curiously and intimately connected with all the great gold miDing settlements of the nineteenth century. The great Al. gerian gold bubble formed and broke in 1909. Next came the Msntazan Mountain craze in 1889, when solid boulders of gold as large as flour barrels were reported. The Cali fornia gold fever broke out in 1849, and ragged until counteracted by the Pike's Peak boom in 1859. Ten years later, in 1869 "Old Virginny," the celebrated miner, struck the lucky lead which made Virginia City and Nevada famous in the mining annals of the world. Eighteen hundred and seventy nine came in on time with the Load vile frenzy and the famous ''carbonates" of Lake county, Cal. Eighteen hundred and eighty nine broke the charm, but 1899 may make up for lost time, there being two hines in that date.-Chicago Herald.

LITTLE CHANGE.
Condition of Cotton This Week About tn,
 Same as Last Week.
TOP CROP
Prospects in All States of the Cotton Belt are Poor-Drought in Texas, Cool
 Weather in Arkansas.

ST. LOUIS, Sept. 12.--The Globe Democrat has the following cotton crop summary for this week: Reports from the cotton districts this week show very little change in the condi- ton of the staple, but they confir n the unfavorable reports re. ceived last week. They show that cold weather in middle states, drought in Texas and rains in the Southeast, did full as much damage as estimated seven days ago, and in some localities injury to the plant is shown to have been greater than was then indicated.
 The closest investigation shows that damage resulting from unfsvor- able weather, worms and rust has reduced the prospects of August 1, from twenty to fifty per cent, and the prospect for the top crop is poor. The plant in Texas has suffered severely from continued drought, and it is estimated that the yield is one-third of a bale to the acre.
 Cool weather in Arkansas has done material damage, while in Mississippi cotton continues to shed and rust, and worms are still doing some injury to the plant. Louisiana reports indicate no change. The prospects for top crop are poor.

TIE weLL-pREssEp MAN.
We Have Him in Larger Number Thar Ever Before and His Tribe
 Increnses.

Ever Before and His Tribe Increases. Ole uf the most noteworthy evil dences of national advance, indicat- ing move forward toward higher standard by the typical American, is the rise of the well-dressed man.
 The extended interest that is being taken in the subject of fashions for men is the harbinger of manifestation for that greater consideration of per- sonal appearance.
 The prevalence of the well. dressed man in this country is the natural re- suit of competition that has put we'll made and presentable attire within the reach of men of modest means, and diffusion of facts with relation thereto that point them to what they shall wear and when and how they shall wear it.
 "Clothes and manners don't make the man, but they do good deal for him after he is made," is one of the most common sense axioms ever ut tered, and it is well to instill a re- gard for personal appearance in 8 man that shall arouse him to a proper quota of self-esteem in the ambition to rank in presentability with his fellows.
 That as 8 people we are much bet ter dressed than few years ago is apparent not only to those who trav- el and observe, but from various oth. CT indications verifying a demand for better clothes, and showing an intel ligence in selection unquestionably based upon what has been gleaned from published matter upon this special subject.
 A man that is well dressed is upon the best of terms with himself-a state of mind calculated not only to inure to physical and mental we'll being, but to enhance his pride of citizenship and to spur him on to higher aims and loftier purposes Clother and Furnisher.

DISGUSTED WITH LIFE.
A School Teacher Attempts Suicide,
 But is Saved
By Arrest for Iosani,y-His Letter to
 the World.

J. c. M Lemon, white county school teacher, attempted suicide ai Psngburn few days ago. His wife ran away with another man, and this with other troubles, it is thought, produced mental Arrangement. He bought g quantity of morphine and strychnine at Searcy and doubtless would have taken the fatal drug but for his arrest and detention on & charge of insanity.
 In his possession several letters were found, addressed to bis rela- tives and friends, in which he de- tlsred his intention to end his life, and asking them to meet him in Heaven. Gas communication, dated September 3, and addressed "To the World" ran as follows:
 ''For 20 years have been known as regular school teacher and for 20 years 1 have been misrepresented, ,and with all the economy that man can exercise 1 have failed to make a re- spectable living. l have been piqued at and sneered at as a teacher and because I am small snd poor.
 ''I am now in the jaws of death, and l say that school teachers, as 8 rule, are not paid enough, and they are unjustly abused by both parents and students. l have just made all the efforts that am able to make for position and failed, either on the salary or the plan on which they de. sire their schools-they seem to want good schools, but have no practical sense about them. They give fine spun theories that no living person can carry out.
 "I am now worn out and troubled to death. Let the world say what it may about suicide-to me death is sweeter than 8 life of poverty and the name school teacher. I would advise all young men to shun the profession as they would the dram shop. J. c MCLENoN. ;"
 "P. S. Please publish all, or not a word"
 It is stated that he will be sent to the insane asylum, provided room can be secured in that institution.

MYSTERY SOLVED.
Miss Ava, Who mystsriousiy Disappeared From Chicago, Located at Cincinnati.
HER STORY.
She Says She Was Struck Upon the Head for Refusing to Rcnounoe the
 Methodist Faith.

CINCINNATI, O., Sept. 12.-The identity of the woman who mysteri- ously disappeared at Jesuit College, in Chicago, on Wednesday evening, with one who as mysteriously ap- peared last night in this city, at Klayer's drug store, is fully established by the description of her given to day by Mrs. Bolton, of Chicago. The woman was taken before Col. Hazen, of the police force, this morning to whom she told her story in almost the identical language used last night. Finding no cause for hold ing hor the chief of po- lice directed that she be taken back to the house of detention to wait some action by friendfs.
 When seen by an Associated Press reporter today Miss Ava was seated on the side of cane bottomed lounge, her stockinged feet barely reaching to the floor. She was wearing a pale blue calico wrapper given her here, and had 8 black scarf about her shoulders. She was entirely self-possessed in man. ner, courteous, sffable and dignifed.
 "Teli Mrs. Bolton," she said, ''and this will identify me better than anything else; that $500 in money and coupons was in her satch- el, not mine, and they took it and its contents. Now Mrs. Bolton will know from this am Miss Ava"
 She went on to say that she went to the college to attend to matter of business. She carried money to pay little Jesuitical tariff, "ala McKin- ley" They demanded that she publicly renounce the Methodist faith and return to the church. Refusing, she was struck heavily on the left breast by man whom she describes as being very large. Before this, however, the sstchel with the money had been seized.
 Her story of her removal from Chicsgo to Cincinnati has in it no recollection of railroad. She says from the time she lost consciousness on Wednesday until yesterday after noon she knows nothing, except a dim remembrance of being drenched with water and her clothes taken off. She denies the suggestion that she is Miss Dissdebar.

Unnecessary Alarm.

It has only now transpired that al the time when the czarowitz was at tackled in Japan the czarina received dispatch beseeching her to set her mind at rest, as her son was not SC. riously injured and was being well taken care of. This telegram was signed Haru-Ko." The first ques ton her imperial majesty asked was, "wLo is Haru-Ko?" Under the i'm pression that her son had fallen into the hands of Japanese adventures, her majesty became sorely distressed. At last they referred to the Almanach de Gotha, when the mystery was solved, and Hsru- Ko was found to be none other than the empress of Japan. New York Commercial Ad. vertiser.
