ABOUT WOMEN.

Mrs. Edward McManaman of Salt

third time in succession that this lady
has thus distinguished herself.
Mrs. Martha hicks, the aged negrcss
who came all the way from Liberia TO
England in order to see Queen Victoria,
has returned TO her American home.
Mrs. Kicks has been so much petted
and we'll treated by royalty that she
will have enough topics and to spare to
last her in gossip during the remainder
of her life.

had this skeleton in a box. One day he
pulled out the ugly, CHASTITY. grinning
skull and began to handle it around.
Finally he decided that he wanted that
skull opened so that he could study the
inside structure. There being several
seams in the skull he decided to fill the
skull with peas aud soak them in water.
thinking that they would force the
seams apart. He asked the editor to
help him and the latter poured peas and
water into the hollow bone and corked
up the eye and nose holes to keep them
from running out.
Some time after the editor was startled
to see that the peas had Sprouted in the
skull, and the vines were of most Won
derful growth. Out of the hole where
the backbone is jointed to the neck an
army of little vines had grown, and by
some unknown instructive power they
had twined in and through all the bones
of that body. The young tendrlls had
wrapped around The StOVeplpe ana taDlc
legs, and the whole skeleton had been
reared upright in the middle of the
room. From the nostrllS and eyes vines
were streaming that had clustered
around and upon the presses, stand and
tables, and from each joint hung a pod
in the likeness of small skull. the ex-
act counterpart of the large one.
1t is rumored that when the editor be-
held these things he left the office by
the window route, and the skeleton is
still in full editorial control.

Perhaps this September will see your

with those dear ones whom you can
imagine engaged in their familiar occu-
pations that seem so blissful to you
now in memory.
You will shed some tears when you
lie down in your little white bed after
the lights have been put out and your
roommate is asleep, but you will wake
up in the morning not quite so blue. and
after couple of days will begin to ap-
preciate the novelty of the new life
opened before you. Now, do not run to
the other extreme, and, from intense
longing and desire for home, change so
that no one would ever know that you
had ever had home or known home
influences. Have good time, for there
will be plenty opportunities for fun
after studies are over, but don't get
into scrapes that will cling to you in
after years, and leave mark that even

just because you wish to be regarded as

You know the sort to avoid, for there
is always that little reluctance that
warns us that all is not right, yet which
we permit ourselves to be talked out OF.

"A Curious Means of Finding the
Depth of a Distant Sheet of
Water.
London Nature.
Frederick j. Smith. of Trinity college,
Oxford, explains curious way of find
ing the depth of piece of water at a
distance.
About two years AGO I wished to
know from time to time the rate at
which river was rising after fall of
rain. The river was at considerable
distance from the spot where its height
was to be known. By means of
the combination of two organ
pipes and "a telephone cir
cult. described in the following
lines. | have been able to make the re-
CURED measurement within rather close
limits. AT the river station an organ
pipe was fixed vertically in an inverted
position, so that the water in the river
acted as a stopper to the pipe, and the
rise or fall of the water determined the
note it gave when blown by small bel
lows driven by a very small water
wheel.
A mlcrophOne was attached to the
upper end of the organ pipe; this was
in circuit with wire leading to town
station at some distance; at the town
station there was an exactly
similar organ pipe. which could be
lowered into vessel full of
water while it was sounding.
BY means of the telephone
the note given by the pipe at the river
was clearly heard at the town station;
then the organ pipe at this station was
lowered or raised by hand until it gave
the same note. The lengths of the organ
pipes under water at the two stations
were then equal, so that the height of
the water in the distant river was
known.
The determination can be made in
less than a minute by any one who can
recognize the agreement of two similar
notes. The arrangement, when first
tested, was so placed that the height of
water at two places near together might
be easily compared. | found that a lad
with an average ear for musical sounds
was able to get the two heights to
agree within One-eighth of an inch of
each other, while person with an edu-
Gated ear adjusted the instrument i'm
mediately to almost exact agreement.
The total height to be measured was
seventeen inches. A difference of tenn
perature at the two stations would make
small difference in the observed
heights. For instance, taking note
caused by $50 vibrations per second, a
difference of 10 degrees G. between the
temperatures Of the two stations Zone
not likely to occur. would make diff
ference of about 0.02 feet in the height,
quantity of no moment in such class
of measurements. The organ pipes
were Of square section and made of
metal to resist the action of the water.

We heard a shot fired across the

a man lying on the floor of saloon with

A TELLTALE ENVELOPE

a former resident of Camden, this state,
was arrested here last night. The ar

without trouble, and returned to
Camden with their prisoner. Lyttle
has been living here under a
fictitious name, his real name being j.
w. LyttIe. The officer from Nebraska
stated that several years ago, at West
ern,. Neb., Lyttle was president of
bank, and that he conspired with his
cashier and embezzled $4,000, which
was soon lost specializing. The pair
got out Of reach before the de-
falcatiOn became known. The cash
Ter has never been heard of. Lyt-
tie came to Arkansas and embarked
in the rubber stamp manufacturing
business and drifted to Kedron. He
was successful and supported his family
well. He moved to Camden, then re-
turned to this place. From Camden
his wife wrote letter back to relatives
at Western, and the envelope bore her
name requesting a return if not called
for. This brought about Lyttle's arrest.

Rubber Tires for Carriages.

Giobe-DemOcrat.
The success of rubber tires on bicy-
cles has frequently led to attempts to
increase the comfort of buggy and car
rage riding by fixing tires on to the
wheels. but in the majority of instances
the attempt was not success, as the
tire either came off or wore out in
very short space of time. Since, how
ever, pneumatic tires have displaced the
solid ones on bicycles, the attempt is
being renewed. and buggies and other
vehicles are likely to be seen on the
boulevards in large numbers before
long as noiseless and free from vibra-
tion as bicycles. Carriage builders be-

money to be made out of vehicles with
rubber tires on the wheels. and they
