Some Points About Wills.

Do you know that you cannot will
away your body; that a clause in your
will giving your body after death to any
person or institution is not legally bind
ing? Your executors cannot be forced to
carry out your wishes, though they may
do so through Difference to your ex-
pressed preferences. 1t is also important
TO remember that three witnesses are
needed in devising real estate instead of
two, as in bequeathing personal property.
''When woman VIII, she will, de-
pend ont says the proyerb. But there
are SO many sharp turns and short
curves il the course of the law that
though a woman wills to will what she
will, how sLo will in nine cases out Of
ten she cannot make her will so that she
wills what she will as she wills to will.

The Complicated Time Keeping Oddisy In
( vented ny s, Russian Pole.
The pr;,:o wonde- ii the shape of a
clock is tiiie invention OF a RuEsi,n Pole
named Goidfadon. The inventor is a
clocl1mazcr of Warsaw and boats that
he worked over z, 900 days ON thus time
keeping oGdity. The clock represents a
railway station, with waiting rooris for
travellers, telegraph and ticket offices
and a very pretty and natural platform,
well lighted and having in its center u
flower garden and spouting fountain.
There are also signal boxes, lights,
switches, water ta,iks-in fact, every
thing used in conjunction with we'll
regulated railway station. There ls a
dial in the center tower, which shows
time ct New York, Picking, Warsaw and
London Every quarter of an hour the
station begins to show signs of life.
First all of the little figures of telegraph
operators begin to work their machines,
the head autoinaton going through the
form Of sending Il dispatch to the effect
that 'the line is clear - Then the door
opens, and upon the platform appear
the station master and hfs assistants
Next long line of little figures file up
to the miniature ticket Office.
After this the porters appear, carrying
luggage, the bell rings, and instantly q
miniature train dasheS ont OF n tunnel

of the bell, whereupon the door OF the
single coach opens, and the little figures
slide III on an almost invisible wire,
the opening closing after them. A sec
ond tap Of tie bell is the signal for the
wheel tester, Waterman and fuel carrier
After the third signal the whistle
gives two toots, and the train quickly
disappears in tunnel opposite to the
one from which it emerged five minutes
before. When the train is cut Of sight,
the station master and his assistants
leave the platform, the doors close be-
hind thala, and they all retire to the
other side of the station house, where,
at the expiration of Is minutes, the
train again appears, and the passengers

Ants as Biters.

Ants are terrible fighters. They have
very powerful jaws, considering the size
of their bodies, and therefore their
method is by biting They will bite one
another ard hold on with a wonderful
grip of the jaws, even after all their legs
have been bitten off by other ants.
Sometimes six on eight ants will be
clinging with death hold to one an
other, making a peculiar spectacle. some
with a leg gone and some with half the
body gone. One singular fact is that the
grip of an ants jaw is retained even
after the body has been bitten off and
nothing but the head remains.

THE MATCH FACTORY.
Must Decide If zine Binff Is to Have This Enter
 prise.

l 1t is now in the power of the prop l erty owners of Pine Bluff and Jeffer- son county to secure an industrial I enterprise for Pine Bluff that will be of vast benefit to the city, in the way of giving employment to u large force of men and u market for timber that is now almost worthless. We allude u the match factory which the Continental Match Company of New York proposes to establish here, oviding our people will be as liberal in raising a bonus as other places. Of the necessary amount only $l ,500 yet remains to be raised, and some of our largest property owners, and the ones who would be most benefited by such an enterprise, have not yet subscribed to the fund. This should not deter others from subscribing, however, flor nearly every city on the globe has just such peo- pie, who hold a nickle so close to their eyes that they can not see
 
 raise the bonus required and show them that Pine Bluff can be pushed to the front, notwithstanding the old fogies who do rything in their power to retard her progress. The following letter form Col. Downs, Secretary of the Match Factory, shows that he will arrive here Tues day, when the question must be set tied one way or the other.
 This is, perhaps, the last chance Pine Bluff will have to secure an en- terprise of such magnitude, and our people would do well to ponder deeply over the matter before they allow it to go elsewhere.
