THAT is a very wise suggestion of Gov. Fiskhack's to the real estate men to the effect that they form a State organization with view of finding suitable homes for seekers of homes and lands in this State. Daily the Governor and Commis- sioner of Agriculture are in receipt of letters of inquiry in regard to lands in Arkansas, and because of a lack of data they are unable to fur nish inouirers with all the infor- nation desired. If the real estate men were to form an organization and one should receive inquiries for lands that he could not furnish, he could forward them to some other member of the organization who might have the very lands the home seeker desired. By organization and the hearty cooperation of the real estate men they can do much to advance the true interests of the State. As a result of the magnif cent State exhibit at the Worlds Fair there are thousands of people looking to Arkansas for homes and fields of profitable investment, and by an organized effort on the part of those familiar with the lands of the State, much good can be accom- plished. We hope the question will be agitated until such an organiza- tio. is formed.

THE Washington correspondent of the Chicago Record has the follow ing to say of Senator Jones, of Ar kansas
 Senator Jones, of Arkansas, very nearly stampeded the Senate Com mittee on Finance yesterday while they were considering the internal revenue portion of the tariff bill by proposing an increase in the tax on beer. Senator Voofhees was com pelled to extinguish him But MT, Jones is Ii stubborn man and is not going to be easily suppressed. 1t IS proposed to raise the tax on whisky to $12 a gallon. It is taxed 90 cents under the present law and under the Wilson bill $1 gallon. In England it is taxed $2.50 Il gallon and it is be- lieved that it will easily carry half that amount i'll thise0untry- Senator Jones thinks if the tariff on whisky is to be raised thestax on beer should be increased also, and there is not the slightest doubt that it would be, had not the Washington attorneys of the National Brewers Association given notice to Mr No0rhecS, as they did to Mr. Wilson, that such legisia- ton would be considered offensive and antagonistic to the brewing and saloon-keeping interests throughout the country and would call forth their hostility at the next Congress sional elections.
 The utmost secrecy is observed in regard to the provisions of the Sen ate bill, but if what they say of it is true il is a much norerational meas ure than the House bill. 1t means something. It is drawn on the lines set forth by the Democratic platform and will afford ample erevenue to meet not the existing deficiency, but what ever may be incurred from the reduc- ton of duties on imported articles.

The born firt, says the PHILADELPHIA
Times, is not dangerous. She may appear
so, but in reality her little coquettish
fascinating ways are not the cultivated
wiles Of siren, but are as natural to her
as breathing. In all proba billty when her
eyes first opened upon this world she
smiled at the doctor. and through her
babyhood aad childhood up TO the tine
she was considered woman that guile
less smile wrought havoc with every man
who came within the circle Of its sunny
intiu ence.
She doesn't think she is flirting. She
is merely enjoying herself. Men have al
ways paid her certain amount of hom-
age, and that she intends to have up to
the day of her death. The born firt need
not be beautiful, she need not be even
pretty, but If she possesses that personal
magnetism that counts for more than
symmetry of contour, men will adore her
and she will let them till the end of time
All women dubbed firts are certain to
come in for considerable amount of un-
kind criticism from those who do not un-
derstand them. The unconscious fiirt will,
however, after awhile disarm her worst
enemy, for if time is taken to study the
little lady the strange phenomenon will
be discovered that she firts just as much
with women as with member of the OPP
posite eek Her pretty ways are irresis-
tible 10 men and women alike, and so she
goes on smiling and magnetizing all who
come within her power, and those that
come TO censure remain to praise.
But, oh what a different character is
the deliberate 6irt, the woman who
coquets with intent to kill. who lets flirt-
alton run into romance, and then with
one strong blow destroys mans hopes
Just for the sake of seeing the card house
she has built up scatter into its compo-
nent parts before her very eyes. She is
the type of woman who separates hus-
bands and wives. who sows discords in
hitherto happy families, who enjoys max
ing sweethearts unhappy and younger
women envious She is a schemer who
plans her campaign deliberately. not a
little skirmisher who uses her weapon on
all alike.
The firt by design is dangerous per-
son. She loves TO wound. She delights
in the cries of those who have been
pierced by the darts from her havoc-deal-
ing eyes. Her victims are fewer than
those that come 20 the net of the born
dirt, but their suffering is real, their pain
bitter. The natural fiirt win go on hirt-

Talk about the tobacco scented
breath Of men," said a pretty girl, Il
have suffered more at matinees from sit
ting next woman who had eaten potato
salad or Spanish omelet or some dish of
which onions or garlic formed part than

the presence of men The odor Of wine
which women drink at table as often as
men do is no more pleasant because it is
waited from beneath the pretty lips Of a
woman, who, perchance, would tip-tiit
her nose at detecting it on a 'horrid
man."
There is more truth than poetry In this
criticism, says the Philadelphia Times,
but little care will prevent any one
from being offensive on account of the
food or liquids they have taken. A cup of
black coffee will destroy the fumes of the
malodorous onion. The fad" of having
peppcrmints and wintergreen cream can
dies on the table has method in its
madness, as one Of these will destroy the
ordor left by wine. 1t would be quite
safe to use as a mouth wash and gargle

camphor and myrrh. A bit Of orris root
might be carried in the masculine pocket
for use when necessary, for il, as well as

ever, the 'ounce of prevention" would
render resort to these DISCUSSES unneces-
sary. Henry Ward Beecher once char
acteristically said: "There is no smell
so universally pleasing as no smell"

and put the envelope under his pillow.
Next morning he drew out a Slip and on
1t was the name of the girl who had given
the charm TO him. He thought that that
was pretty tough luck. for he really liked
the girl very much. He was out rather
late next night, and when he awoke he
was in hurry and forgot all about the
charm. When he got home that night he
began thinking the matter over and won

He got the envelope and peered into 1t.
The slips were all carefully folded and he
could not see name. Then his curiosity
got the upper hand. He took out all the
slips and unfolded them All Of the re-
naming six had names on them, and in
each instance the name was that of the
girl who had prepared the charm. He sat
down and thought long and earnestly.

went straight up TO that girls house. He
stayed long time, and when he came

charity that 'thinketh no evil and speak

A practical and eminently successful
employment has been developed in Lon
don for women in the shape of a garden
ing association. 1t is under very fashion
able patronage. Such philanthropic peo-
pie as the Countess of Malmesbury, Lady
Hamilton and Lady Lubbock are among
its officers, and it has well organized
bureau on Lower Sloane street, and does
business all over London. There is no
reason why similar organizations should
not flourish in all large American towns
The Gardening Association contracts
for the care of conservatOries, window
boxes, balconies and gardens by the year
or season or month. Plants are also
loaned out on hire.
All orders are entirely executed by wo-
men, a man being employed for digging,
conveying soil, laying gravel, training
high outside climbers, and the like. The
association also undertakes the care of
graves in the cemeteries of London. 1t
supplies whatever plants may be required.
When necessary, it replants the graves
twice year. An excellent point in con-
nection with this particular branch of
the work is that the prices are made as
reasonable as possible in order to bring
the benefit within the reach of persons in
all circumstances.
Another department of the work con-
sists in taking temporary care of plants
belonging to persons who are leaving
town. For this purpose the association
uses its own conservatories.
Cut flowers are also supplied to fami-
lies. Every variety of floral decoration,
bouquets, wreaths, crosses, etc, are made
up quite equal to any similar work ex-
hibited by first-class florists.
The secretary is always at the bureau,
ready to supply estimates and to discuss
any particulars relating to orders. The
business, in fact, is energetically pushed
1t sends out charming little prospectus,
artistically gotten up on rough paper with
light green ink.
In reply to some inquiries, the secretary
said that, although the work necessitated
a good deal of STOPPING and fatigue, it
was generally considered pleasant by the
women, even If not particularly light. 1t
entails early and late hours, and much
running TO and fro. Still, those who have
tried it, say they find it a much healthier
and brighter occupation than many others
open to women.
