one of the elements of life. Now, the ar
terial system is so important that will
pause Just moment to speak of curious
fact, yet one which bears strongly on the
subject in hand.
Powerful as is that great pump, the
right ventricle, 1t is impossible for 1t to
perform all the work of forcing the blood
over the body; therefore at different loca-
tions in the body, and particularly the
limbs, are auxiliary valves which perform
the double duty of preventing the blood
from receding and assisting it on its way.
In the back of the head at the base OF
the brain is mass of grayish material
known as the cerebellum. Nearly every
body has noticed hanging in front of a
butcher-shop an animal cut in half, ex-
posing the spinal cord running down the
backbone. Now this spinal cord within
our vertebrse is but continuation of the
base of the brain, like the shoots proceeding
from bulb. This cerebellum is so won
derful that will have to refer the reader
to an encyclopedias if he is interested.
Sufficient here to say that it is the seat of
action, the spot where force is genera
ted. The Reason suggests to do certain
move: the Will undertakes it. All this is
planned in the upper brain.
The decision is transmitted to the base
of the brain, and in secret chamber a
cell is unlocked, transmitting through the
nerves the dynamic power 10 the muscles.
Sometimes the Will cannot unlock the de-
sired power, but Excitement may. 1t is
indeed an interesting study.

Her Face
Gives Light
In the Darkness

Surely there must be some new things in
the world. Who, before, ever heard of
the girl that rubs a luminous powder on
the dark without lantern? And yet this
is fact, strange and absurd as it may
appear.
OF course, the girl who does this rides
her wheel in the boulevards of Paris. She
has not yet been heard from in America,
but doubtless she is here and will yet
shed her beautiful radiance on the dark
ness of a moonless night IN the park.
1t hasn't reached the fad stage yet even
in gay Paris, but it has been tested by
more than one of even the ultra fashion
able set in Paris, the French journals say,
and has worked So successfully that it will
doubtless soon become fad. The lumi-
nous preparation is scented, of course, and
1t gives the fair face it shines on not only
a strong and penetrating radiance, but it
softens the countenance that without it
has hard, yellowish cast in the light of
an ordinary bicycle-lamp.
Rice powder and sulphate of zinc is the
secret, with almost any perfume added,
that gives this startling yet altogether

Charles Henry, a distinguished modern
French savant, to have wonderful power
of absorbing sunlight and giving it back
in the dark. Rice powder, very finely
ground and bolted, to which a small
quantity of this mineral is added, gives an
exquisitely soft luminosity to fair young
face. On pitch dark night on the boule-
wards the Iady-cyclist busted over with
this powder is in herself lamp.

it is particularly desirable sport. In a
peculiar way it comes within the limits of
feminine powers, and curiously enough
while few women have attempted the
SNOWY feats which men have accom-
plished in the water they have, as matter
of fact, more endurance as swimmers than
have men. They float more easily and are
far less liable to chills and cramps, and
despite their inferior strength make quite
as good swimmers as do men.

Yesterday the sheriff went out in the

The mob arrived at o'clock, and at
o'clock a large tobacco warehouse was
in flames. The people. remembering the
threat, thought it would be executed.

ARKANSAS ELECTION.
Returns So Far Received Show Re-
publican Gains.


LITTLE ROCK, Ark, Sept. 8.-Re-
turns received at Republican head
quarters from Washington, Woodruff.
Carroll. Lonoke, Crawford, Jackson,
Pulaski, Ouachita, Sebastian, White
and Desha counties show net Repubh-
can gain of 4,201 over the vote of two
years ago. These figures, if maintained
throughout the state will increase the
Republican vote over 1894 by 10000 and
place the entire vote of the Republican
ticket at $4,000, an Increase of 26 per
cent. Returns from Prairie Drew, Ash
ley, Washington, Crawford, Greene,
Desha, independence, Cleveland,
Ouachita, Bradley, Jackson and John
son, received at Democratic headquar-
tiers show a loss to the Democracy of
$685. On this basis this will give Jones
d plurality of $1,000, estimating that
140,0 900 votes We're cast. Chairman
Cooper, of the Republican state COM
mittee made the following statement to
the press tonight:
"The election law plainly directs that
the judges of election shall not all be
of the same political party and when
the Democratic election commissioners
a against the protest of Republicans ap-
pointed Democratic election judges eX-
cluBlVeIy IN ON eT twenty counties OF
this state il violation of the law il was
perfectly well understood that fraud
was intended. do not hesitate to say
that the appointment of these Demo-
cratic judges and the refusal to ap-
point one Republican cost the Republi-
can ticket thousands of votes and
added to the Democratic votes"
Clark admits that in a number of
counties number of Democratic COM
mittees appointed none but Democratic
judges and he is at a loss to know why
they did this, especially in his home
county of Phillips. Notwithstanding
all these alleged frauds. he estimates
the vote of Kennel, the Republican,
candidate for governor, has increased
50 per cent over the vote of 1894. The
silver question has not increased the
Democratic vote or decreased the Re
publican vote in this state.

OMAHA, Neb.. September S.-After
a night on a sleeping car, William J.
Bryan rose early to greet the crowd
gathered or the platform at Malvern,
Iowa. Spectators gathered at the sta
tions where the train stopped during
the night in its progress through Iowa,
but the Democratic candidate was
sleeping. He went to bed just after
leaving Burlington at midnight, and
was up again at $50, to meet the Nal
vern crowd half an hour later. The
crowd there numbered 300. Bryan shook
hands with nearly everybody in it
Not many minutes after he left Pa
cidic junction, the nominee crossed the
Missouri into mis- own state. At 8
o'clock ne was surrounded by 500 peo-
pie at PlattsInouth who gave him a
welcome to Nebraska. A stand had
been erected near where the train
stopped, and from this Mr.. Bryan spoke.
His train went on to Omaha, leaving
him to take a local ten minutes later.
When he arrived at Omaha, 1000 peo-
pie were at the depot waiting His re-
cepaion was enthusiastic He spoke
briefly, in a conversational tone, from
the car steps saying he felt as much
at home in other portions of the country
as in Omaha. The people here think
they can shout for silver, but if he had
money ne would like to bring back a
few silver men from New York to teach
the people here how to hurTah There
was no more enthusiasm here than in
New York or Pennsylvania. For every
one Democrat lost to the SILVER cause,
sixteen Republicans have been won.
On the trip from Omaha to Lincoln,
brief stops were made at Gretna, Ash
land, Greenwood and Havelock. where
several hundred people gathered to
shake hands with the nominee.

TRADES UNION CONGRESS.
Madison, the New Chairman, Makes
q Powerful Address.

Il Powerful Address.
EDINBURGH, Sept. Sat today's sit
ting of the trades union congress, Mr..
Madison, the new chairman of the par
llamentary committee. made a powerful
address, in which he said that the change
in the manner in which the communities
now dealt with labor questions was large
y due to the socialists. who had aroused
the national conscience by exposing tho
misery and degradation arising from the
defects in the industrial system. Though
the socialists had paved the way for
remedial legislation, ne said, their rene
dies would not. in his opinion, bring about
the desided results.
Mr. Madison advocated the policy on
the part of trade unionists Of keeping out
side the lines Of the present political
parties in the fight for living wages The
payment of salaries to members of parlia-
ment ought TO be made a test upon the
next election. The report of the parlia-
mentary elections expressed doubt as TO
whether, hencefOrth, 1t would be prudent
for the trades union congress to associate
itself with meetings like the international
socialist congress recently held in Lon
don. but declared il was desirable that
trade unionism and cooperation should
work together. The congress passed a.
resolution eXpelling from the sittings the
reporters Of all newspapers employing no
union cOmp0sitors. The passage of this
resolution excludes from the congress the
reporters of every newspaper in Edin-
burgh.
A resolution was adopted declaring that
the hours should be limited to eight
day in all trades and occupations, and
instructing the parliamentary COMMITTEES
