a CENTER SHOT.
The Democratic Election Laws Are the
same the Republican Force BILL
The following we find in the Annaal-

The Democratic Election Laws Are the
same rs the Republican Force Bill.
The following we find in the Appeal
Avalanche, Of recent date:
As for the force bill, It IL infamous The
Standard Union admits IL when 1t accepts the
name without protest II the democratic party
proposed an election bill by the terms of which
the election machinery Of every precinct in the
country should be in the hands OF two demo
Gratis and one member OF another party and so
frame the bill that the system should prevail
for an indefinite period, would not our Brook
lyn contemporary denounce IT Infamous
Now the force bill makes such a condition OF
affairs possible for the republican party 1t is
an infamous" measure because IL sacrifices
American citizenship 70 party advantage. No
body but a traitor TO the American republic
could have framed such a bill; nobody but a
traitor could support It.
This has the right sort of ring to 1t,
but we venture the assertion that the
Appeal-Avalanche when it fred that
shot, had no idea that it drove the CEN
ter out Of the Arkansas force bill, alias
election law. The very provision in
our election law, for which Gov Eagle
and his party have commended, is de-
nounced by the Appeal-Avalanche, a
powerful democratic paper, as 'infa-
nous, because it sacrifices American
citizenship to party advantage. No
body but a traitor to the American re-
public could have framed such bill;
nobody but traitor could support it, &"
and that provision is the one which
places the election machinery in every
precinct in the hands of two democrats
and one member of another party.
We trust the Appeal will load up and
shoot again. ARK. Economist.

The MotherIy Shepherd Dor.

The shepherd dog is the best mother
in the animal kingdom. A neighbor of
mine has a shepherd who has pups two
or three months old, and not long ago
a couple of the pups had a difference
on some subject of canine interest and
got to fighting. The mother heard
them, and appearing to understand that
the case was serious, ran out and at
tempted to separate them, holding one
with her paws while she pushed the
other away with her nose She was
unsuccessful, for the pups kept on
fighting and leaving them she ran into
the house, and by barking and whining
attracted the attention of her master.
who rose and followed her into the
ward. He lifted one of the pups by the
tail and the other by the hind legs,
and soon shook the belligerency out of
them. and though the poor little mother
looked on with manifest distress at the
rou0hness of the means employed, she
was evidently satisfied with the result,
for as soon as the pups were released
and snealxed off, she capered about her
master, fawning on him and in every
way showing her gratitude.-St Louis
Globe Democrat.

PICTORIAL JOKES.

The Art of Caricature il of Very Great
Antiquity,
With the perfection Of phOto-engrav-
ing and the skill of the artists has come
a readiness of picture-making which
has turned even the daily newspapers
into illustrated journals. The advance
has been very rapid in the last thirty
gears, and when we examine the books
and periodicals of the last generation.
we cannot fail to be struck with the
paucity of pictures they present.
Yet the art of drawing is very old,
and the most ancient branch is that Of
caricature. Specimens of the art date
back so far that there is practically no
limit, and as the caricaturist. in many
cases needed but a piece of colored

The ancient egyptians carried their
pictorial jokes so far as TO carve them
on their tombs. The bibuiS,ls propensi-
ties OF the people furnished ts.a cher

an ordinary skirt but the cheviot of
which it is composed reaches only with
in a foot of the ground, where it is sup
pleme nted with a band of leather or of
macintosh of harmonizing color. This
band is merely buttoned by invisible
means on the skirt. When the wearer
returns to the house it may be unbut-
toned. the mud and dust easily cleaned
off, and its place filed by band of
cheviot. The great objection to this
dress is that it offers no special protec-

THE PROPER WAY TO SIT.
Far Back in Your Chair. So That the Bod
May Have support.

Far Back in Your Chair. So That the Body
May Have support,
A proper sitting position requires
that the spine shall be kept straight
and that the support needed for the up
per part of the body shall be felt in the
right place Therefore. sit as far back
as possible in the chair, so that the
lower end of the spine shall be braced
against the back of the seat. If this
back is straight the shoulders will also
rest against it; if not, they will have no
point of support and it will be found
they do not need it. This position
makes no strain upon the ligaments of
the spine. 1t allows proper position
of the shoulders, consequently of the
chest, consequently of the lungs,
stomach and every other organ of the
body. Their work is carried on natur-
ly and comfortably. as is also the cir
culation of the blood, which, in a wrong
sitting position, is seriously interfered
with. With the feet resting squarelv
upon the floor, the hands resting easily
upon the lap perfect equilibrium and
consequently perfect rest of the body is
secured. There is no strain upon any
part of the body; no muscle or organ is
required to do more than it's legitimate
amount of work The arms should
never be folded, for this position not
only causes strain upon the spine, and
all the other evils referred to, but, in
addition, places the weight of the arms
upon the stomach and the diaphragm
thereby increasing the labor of diges-
ton and respiration. Placing the hands
behind the back, or folding the arms
behind the back, if possible, is a good
attitude to take occasionally, giving, as
it does, the fullest expansion to the
whole upper part of the body.-Ladies'
Home Journal.
