A NEW FAD FOR GIRLS.

The girls have new fad now. It is called the photographic plaque" Like all fads 1t has swept the homes of the young women like wildfire, and has occa- stoned no end of sharp comment by members of the sterner sex who have been mulcted of dimes.
 sThe photographic plaquen is an ingenious device of a china firing concern, and it's purpose is financial gain for this establishment. Pieces of cardboard 10x10 inches in size, are distributed where they are likely to meet with favorable reception. These pieces of card contain circle in the center-a reserved space large enough for a reproduced pho tograph. From the circumference of this circle extend lines to larger circle, like spokes in a wheel from the hub to the tire. The spaces be- tween these lines are for auto graphs.
 There are fifty such spaces, and 1t has been declared the proper thing for girl to get the autographs of fifty of her male friends written with in them. An unwritten law in this fad decrees that each autograph writer must produce dime with his signature. When all the spaces are full and each name paid for the girl has $5, and this $5, if sent to a certain place with the card and a photograph of the owner, will se- cure china plaque with the picture and autograph reproduced and fired
 It is a great scheme for the girls who have little or nothing to do, and signatures are greatly in demand Chicago Tribune.

HOW SNAKES GOT IN IRELAND.

In 1881 Mir. James Cleland, an Irish gentleman, being curious to ascertain whether the climate or soil of Ireland was naturally destructive to the serpent tribe, purchased half a dozen of the common harmless English snake (patria torquata) in Covent Garden Market in London. Bringing them to Ireland, he turned them out in his garden at Rathgael, in the County of Down, and in a week afterward one of them was killed at Milecross, about three miles distant. The persons into whose hands this strange monster fell had not the slightest suspicion that it was a snake, but considering 1t a cu- rious kind of eel, they took it to Dr. J. l.. Drummond, celebrated Irish naturalist, who at once pronounced the animal to be a reptile and not a fish.
 The idea of "rale live sarpint" having been killed within a short distance of the very burial place of St. Patrick caused an extraordinary sensation of alarm among the coun- try people. The most absurd rumors were freely circulated and credited. One far seeing clergyman preached a sermon in which he cited this un- fortunate snake as token of the inn mediate commencement of the mil lenium, while another saw in it type of the approach of cholera mor- bus. Old prophecies were raked up, and all parties and sects for once united in believing that the snake foreshadowed "the beginning of the end," though they very wide ly differed as to what that end was to be.
 Some more practical-minded per sons, however, subscribed a consid- erable sum of money, which they offered in rewards for the destruc- ton of any other snakes that might be found in the district, and three more of the snakes were not long afterward killed within few miles of the garden where they were liberated. The remaining two snakes were never very clearly ac- counted for. The writer, who re- sided in that part of the country at the time, well remembers the wild rumors among the more illiterate classes on the appearance of those snakes and the bitter feelings of angry indignation expressed by edu- cated persons against the-very fortunately then unknown-person who had dared to bring them to Ireland.

WOMEN OF THE SOUTH.

The women of the South are yet in that transition stage which must come between earnest inquiry and interest and the full acceptance of the methods and opportunities for women. They are naturally anxious to know of their increased privi- leges, and to see the open doors, but there is no responsiveness.
 On the contrary, the typical Southern woman, though active and capable, always prefers to feel and to have the world believe that the men of the family are the leaders, fully able to take care of all affairs save those of the home. She may in truth work herself to death and take all sorts of shifts and turns in pri- vate, but this is her creed, in- herited from grand-mothers' grand mothers of the long ago. She be- lieves as old Urcle Harvey on the plantation puts it, "De head ub de fambly ought ter allus hab some money in his pocket.
 The progress of development in the woman's world therefore lies much in social lines-literary clubs, art clubs, afternoon teas, etc. No explosive questions are proposed !; the trend of thought follows a mental current with no urderfow of reform in any way, questions of art, of literature, of travel are all dis cussed at the delightful afternoon fortnightlies, held in the different parlors. One might venture to say that the greatest readers and deep est students are usually found among women away from the cen tres. They get from reading what their sisters in the whirl gain by absorption .-Harper's Bazar.

THE COST OF BEING FAMOUS.

It is funny to see how these rich men work for fame. Foster must have an income of from $50, ,000 to $100, 900 year, and he pegs away here like slave for less than $160 week. His entertaining is cost ing him more than he makes, and his doctors bills will eat up the balance. Postmaster-General Wana- maker must spend three or four times his salary to keep up his Washing ton establishment, and the profit of his big store in Philadelphia is said to be $1 ,000, ,000 year. He does a business something like $50,- 000,0 year, and the cash taken in over the counters every day ranges in amount between $50, ,000 and $100, ,000. He has big invest ments outside of the store, and one would think he had enough to amuse him without taking charge of the big postoffice mill. Still he works here harder than government clerk and has his soul rasped and worried every day by a lot of con gressmen, some of whom are not fit to run peanut stand. Stephen B. Elkins is many times millionaire. He has nice family, a big income and big business, but he is devot- ing himself to thank you business, and is getting little else for his pains. Leland Stanford, with his $75- GOO, ,000, spends hours and hours every day answering his mail, and he has men trotting about all over the capital getting information and other things for his constituents. His income must be $l0,000 day, but he works like coal -heaver for nothing. It is the same with dozen other men 1 might mention. There is nothing in public life for rich man except trouble, and the higher up the millionaire gets on the political ladder the more little fellows there are who like to spit at him, kick at him and work him for all he is worth.

QUEER THINGS ABOUT BANKS,

"Did you ever give any particular thought to how insignificant and in formal is the evidence of debt which a bank gives its regular depositors in return for the large sums of money the depositors leave with themi" asked the head of big mer- cantile house, as he glanced at the entry just made in the firms bank book, which clerk had returned with, says Chicago paper.
 "For the $3O73 in gold and cur rency, to say nothing of the $5263. 20 in drafts and silver, which we left with the bank just now, all we got in return were the six figures and the date; no promise to pay-not even an l. o. U. from the bank. Where in any other de- partment or any other circumstance of mercantile life can one find this equaled9
 "Positively nowhere else In many respects l consider this feature one of the great seven wonders known of in connection with no other period of the world, so far as l know.
 "Some day we will hear of gi- gantie fraud of some sort or other as the result of the present deposit book system. Already many small ones have happened, but have been hushed up by the banks.
 "It is a generally accepted fact in banking and mercantile circles that this is the one weakest spot in the business doing of to-day.
 sThink of it min ute; no contract-not the touch of a pen or a line of printed matter acknowledging obligation on the part of the banks in return for the millions of mouey daily received by them from depositors It is cer- tainly remarkable thing, and one which should be changed--but how'll

STOPPED BY BULLETS.
Fate of Two Desperate Horse Thieves Neal
 Jackson, Wyoming.
FOUGHT FOR THEIR LIVES.
Five Deputy sheriffs Surround the Out. laws Camp and are Compelled
 to Kill the Thieves.

CHEYENNE, WYo., April 29.-- Information has just been received of the killing of two desperate horse thieves, Got Spencer and Jack Bur nett, at Jackson, in the extreme northwestern portion of the state.
 The men were killed by five dep uty sheriffs, led by J. H. Hol- land, of Quintah county, and fifty horses stolen from the Big Horn country, Wyoming and Mon tana were found at the rendezvous.
 The journey to the horse thieves camp, which is fifty miles from any settl lsment, was made on snow shoes, and on the evening of the third day the officers came within sight of it. While in hiding they saw Got Spencer enter the cabin, and, as soon as night came, the house was surrounded by the officers. At day light the cabin door opened, and Spencer came out and went toward the stable. He was told te surren- der, and replied by emptying a six-shooter at his would-be captors. They returned the fire and Spencer tell dead, riddled with bullets.
 The firing brought Burnett to the door and he had six-shooter and a Ballard rife with him. As he was known to be one of the best shots in the country, deputies en- trenched themselves behind a ridge. After two dozen shots were fired, Burnett was given a chance to surrender, but refused and bullet was put through him, and settled the career of one of the most notorious horse thieves in the Northwest.
 Four other horse thieves are un- der arrest in the same county, the result of the crusade inaugurated six months aoo.

HELENA. ARK., April 8, lS92

HELENA, ARK, April 8, 1892. | To all those who were engaged in the support of the now lost cause, both far and near, es- pecially those living in Arkansas and Mis- sour1, we come greeting:
 i And appeal to you to come and meet with us in the hourishing city, upon the eastern boundary of our great state, upon that great artery of commerce, the mighty Missis- 1 sippi, and engage with us in doing honor to to your and our friends, soldiers of Arkan- sas and Missouri, who poured out their precious hfe-currents in defense of that cause, at the battle around this city and engagements east of White river, and whose remains now lie buried in Evergreen Cemetery, upon an elevated po- sition, overlooking the broad expanse of our great river; and assist us in honoring those brave men by unyeiing an elegant monument to their courage and patriotism, on the 25th day of May, 1892, erected by the Ladies Memorial Association" The oration at the unveiling will be delivered by the Hon. John R. Fellows, of New York, member of the First Arkansas regiment, and one of the most distin- guished orators in America. Time is fly ing, each year is thinning our ranks, then let us draw nearer to each other, close up the gaps and keep step to the music of the Union, until the summons comes to each one to go home. We have no regrets; overpow- cred, we laid down our arms without a stain upon our honor; we have rebuilt our waste places, and have annually, unmurmuringly, paid large tribute to the support of those we met upon the fields of battle, displaying such loyalty to the Federal government as has never before been witnessed. Then come and meet us, and let us renew our old friendships, make new ones, perfect organizations, and arrange to teach those who are to come after us, the truth in re- gard to the stirring times of 1861 to 1865, when we surrendered at Appomat- tox. We would suggest your or ganizing the old veterans into com panies and come as such. We also desire that the sons of veterans do likewise, as We wish to see all and will endeavor to make you happy.
 The means of approaching Helena are by the Arkansas Midland Railroad, connect ing at Clarendon with the Cotton Belt road, and at Brinkley with the Little Rock and Memphis and White and Black River Valley Railroads, and the Helena and Knobel Branch of the St. Louis, Iron Mountain and Southern, west of the Mis- sissippi, and by the Louisville, New Or leans and Texas road east of it. Special trains will be run upon all these roads for this occasion.

English Wives at Home.

The English census shows 66, ,924 more married women than married men. It will no doubt, says the London Truth. take great weight off many minds to hear that there is no reason to suppose this discrep- ancy to be due Gas 1 imagined) to large number of Englishmen having more than one wife. There are known to be no less than 147 $40 men on foreign service in the army, navy and mercantile marine. If only 66, 1924 of these have left wives at home the 66,924 surplus British matrons are legitimately accounted for. But in addition to this we must remember that many other Englishmen besides those in the army, navy and mercantile marine frequently have reason to go abroad and leave their wives behind them.

streams in their southern counties, and there seems some ground for their contention, although an inn mense quantity of good willow wood is cut every year in this country Statisticians say that over l ,000, 900 English-speaking men wear or walk on wooden legs, and this accounts for the enormous trade in limbs of this kind.
 The old fashioned stump with an iron tip on 1t is seldom seen now. It was a great success in its day, and with reasonable care and luck lasted close on lifetime, but 1t was too awkward and conspicuous, not to say noisy, to be popular. The mod ern wooden leg is more costly, but it is much more comfortable, and many man who is compelled to walk by the aid of one can give pointers in grace and department to others more blessed by fortune. - Globe Democrat.
