Rural Life in Arkansas.

Octave Thanet, in her paper in the

yrites:
The women have hard life. work

age early. and die when, under happier
chances, they would be in their prime.
Thus it happens that so many men
have three. or four, or five wives

children, and heap of niggers!'
They are very fond of their children
and kind to them; unwisely kind. per-
haps. as we Americans are inclined to
be. To ali the other hardShips of n
woman's life here is added her mourn
ing for her little children; for the care
less life bears hard OH them. especially
in overflow seasons. Sometimes we
are reminded of this in a homely vet

What a life!h our Northern friends
say. Yet it is life with huge ame-
liorations. In this country, every one
has the climate. TO begin with. There
are only two months in the year when
we can be said to have cold weather;
and even through those months are
scattered lovely days of truce, filled
with sunshine. Neither need we pay
for our mild winters with hot summers
There are but two months that are
really uncomfortably warm for more
than few days at time. These are
August and September. They tell us
that the nights are cool then; but | re-

The Race OF the Future.

There is forming in America at
present new race, distinct from all
others on the earth. 1t is being made
up of Il moiety OF every race and na-
ton in existence. We note the disaD-
pcarance of blondes says the Cincin-
natl Times str. 1t is true they are
going, for the new race is going to be
Il dark-haircd race, as pigmented peo-
pie always gain the ascendency where
they mingle equally with non-pigment-
ed, not because non-pigmented people
are less able to withstand disease than
the others. but for the same reason
that if YOU mix white and black the
white cannot preserve its purity. The
new one is TO be the largest race of
the earth, and will contain all that is
good aud some that is bad of all other
races. 1t is TO be grand medley, and
the American of the future will be the
representative man Of the world. But
we are as vet just beginning to develop
into this race, which may not be dis
tinctive one before 1000 years. To
sum it ali up in a single statement, l
would say That man is positively in
creasimg in size. Longevity aud intelli-
9encc.

n Horse That SulkS.

In fashionable boarding stable in
New York is a horse called Tatters,
about which the Brooklyn Standard
Union tells story Tatters belongs
to Il lady who makes a great pet Of
him, and never visits the stable with
out taking him some apples, carrots
or sugar of which he is extremely
fond. In 4 neighboring stall is the
horse of her friend. an animal rejoic-
ing in the name of Phil. Tatters and
Phil are on good terms, but the former
sometimes throws his ears back and
manifests jealousy when his mistress,
after giving him an apple or carrot,
gives one to Phil. One day she went
into the stable while Tatters was in the
bands of the groom. He began beg
ging for an apple and she deferred the
gift until the groom had finished his
work and the horse had returned to
his stall. Meantime she gave an apple
to Phil
When Tatters had gone to his stall
she offered him an apple, but he re-
fused TO take it. and turned his head
from her in disgust. For half an hour
she coaXed him bat to 10 purpose
Then the groom tried to induce him to
take it, and then another groom made
the same effort, but all in vain Take
the apple he would not, nor would he
recognize his mistress in any way. HIS
ears dropped and he had the appear
ance of child in the sulks Just as
much as Il horse can possibly have it.
His heart was broken, not so much be-
cause an apple had been given to an
other horse, but because it had been
given before he himself had received
one. But by the next day he seemed
to have forgotten his grievance, and
you may be sure that his owner has
been careful not TO offend him since in
the same way.

Discoveries at Rome.

An Interesting discovery bas just
been made ut Rome in the process OF
excavation for the Tibcr embankment
This is ilaitened oblong column. or
very thick slab. on which is inscribed
the official record of the public games
celebrated by Augustus in the year II
b. &. The decree Of the senate and
the regulations enforced by the eXecu-
tive committee are followed by list
of the necessary prayers and sacrifices
aud the order of the contests. Then
comes an announcement that choir
of twenty-Seven Youths and rs many
maidens will sing the Carmen Secu-
larc." written by Quiatus Uoratius
FIaccus. In the same locality the
workmen have discovered twenty-five
additional fragments Of the great map
of the old city whici formerly stood III
the Forum of Augustus. When this
map was destroyed by fire or earth
quake, many of tie pieces were thrown
into a heap of broken building mate
rials, and finally found their way into
the walls Of the old Aliieri palace
which have just been uncarthed.

Early -Iodcs OF Writing.

The earliest mode of writing was on
bricks. tiles. oyster shells, stones.
ivory. bark and leaves of trees. Cop
per and brass plates were very early
in use and bill of feoffment on copper
was some years since discovered in
India bearing date 100 years b. c.
Leather was also used. rs well as
wooden tablets. Then the papyruS
came iuto vogne, and about the eighth
century the papyrus was succeeded 10y
parchment. Paper, however. is of
great antiquity. especially among the
Chinese; but the first paper mill in
England was built in 1888 by a Ger
man ut Dartford. in Kent. Neyerthe,
less. it was nearly century and a
half-namely. III l715-before Thomas
Watkins, s,ationer. brought paper
making TO anything like perfection.
The first approach TO the pen was the
stylus. Il kind of iron bodkin. but the
Romans forbade its use on account of
its frequent aud even fatal use in
quarrels. and then it was made of bone.
subsequently reeds. pointed and split
like pens, as in the present day, were
used.

CuriositieS About Beans.

OF all edible pods, it is believed that
the bean has been the longest known
and most widely cultivated says the
st. Louis Republic. 1t was used rs food
by the. ancient Jews and considered
sacred by the Greeks and Romans. A
temple dedicated to Kyanetes, the god
of beans. formerly stood on the sacred
road near EIeu5is. Kvanetes WIS
called the god of beans because he was
the first to cultivate them for food.
The bean feast. which the Athenians
celebrated in honor of Apollo. was
characterized by the excessive use of
beans. The Egyptians, contrary to the
nations above mentioned. considered
beans uuclean and would not venture
to touch them. Pythagoras admon-
ishcd his scholars; abstain from
beans The natives of Egypt and
most all oriental nations look upon
the black speck on the wings of the
beau flower rs the written characters
of death.

that it may be fitted without disturbing
