Edibles From Refuse.

All visitors to Paris rave about the
dc.icacy of the food ana dalniiness
Of the service. They do not know some
Of the ways followed by restaurants
,nd chefs. At rhe lower c.ass OF Paris
restaurants very Ingenious fraud has
been In practice for half u century.
They make beef tea or boulllon Wits
out beef-warm water colOrcd anu Tia
vOrcd with burned onions AMI caramel

was the only trouble. Finally n cook
hit upon the ingenious device Of blow
ing u spoonful OF fresh oil over the
soup. The oil Immediately forms IN
tiny beads ON the surface and there Ia
Your soup. Nowadays every cafe III
this sort has its emp:oyee aux yenl
d. boullion, whose sole duty Is to make
the little eyes or bubbles of grease Oa

Parlsians are immensely fEl Of
ham, so much so that the number Of
hams eaten in Paris could not he fur
nish, d by all the pigs killed In France,
ms the leg being curcd-lhis being TIN
French practice. The demand is sup
piled by buying up old ham b 'lcs ans
ingt niously inserting them into pieces
of picked pork, which are trimmed
into shape, covered with grated bread
crusts and then sod for hmm. In this
way bone does duty for hundreds Of
times. Still, the supply of bones was
limited, and It was not incdlyenieIA

have lost their lives In this way. Tbh
mortality is not limited to any one sge-
cics. but includes nearly all the birds
known in this region. Strange to cay,
few English sparrows have lost Their
lives by flying against the monument,
hut the beautiful golden finches, cedar
birds. s,arli1lgs. Hangers. grosbtslkS
and many others of bright plnmage
and great rarity have been found. 1Nke
Waterman takes these birds up town to
a taxidermist. who SUITS and mounts
the rarer specimens. which are sold fCe
q good round price to collectors, ana
the skins of those less rare are pre-
pared for the millincr. Hardly q
morning comes that there are less than
a score of dead birds about the base or
the shaft.
Another queer thing to know about
the monument Is that its height and
width vary. 1t is taller in sulDmee
than In winter. and in the latter SEASON
its width on the south side Is about m
inch greater than Oil the north, eas@
or west side. This is due to expansion
under the heat of the suns rays. Tins
phenomenon was determined by Cap
tain Greene during the erection Of the
shaft. Plumb lines were hung ut each
corner of the marble wall, and tN
plumb "bobs." or plummets. were s'is
pended In pots of glycerinc and mo
lasscs. Across the top of each po, was

A Cinderella Party.

At the home of Prof aud Mrs. Luce, 641 South Walnut street, a 'Cinderella" Party was given in honor of Miss Beatrice B. Brown, of Van Vert, Ohio, last Wednesday evening.
 The revelry begun at 9 o'clock aud lasted until the conventional we sma' hours. A novel feature of the entertainment was the Cinderella fortune telling. The guests upon arrival, were requested to register, which signature, later on, was dis covered to have sealed their fate. One popular, unassuming young lady had it revealed to her that she is a hirt, and that she will fiirt until

she can firt no longer. She will then repent and found an asylum for broken hearts, after which she will wed wealthy old man and live ever after an "old mans darling. !" It was also discovered that number of the future statesmen of Arkan- sas were present and added dignity to the occasion. Delicacies were served under the trees, where many colored- lanter shed subdued light and where Cinderella had pre- ceded the guests and left at each place souvenir of her fabled slip, per. After music, dancing and games the Cinderellas and their princes departed with many expres- sions of wishes for a speedy return of Miss Beatrice to Pine Bluff.

Sewall. We are indebted to this firm for box of their new brand of cigars, which we have duly sampled, and we can TOW bear testimony to the merits of the same from a smokers standpoint. The cigars are made of an excellent quality of tobacco and are as good as any 5 cent cigar on the market. The boxes for this new brand are hand somely labelled with Photographic Hkenesses of the Presidential and Vice-Presidential nominees, and the cigars are put up in very attrae- tive manner.
 Messrs. Baughman 6 Baughman on yesterday sent out a large lot of their new cigars by express to sur rounding towns, and already have a big demand for this new brand, which taxes their establishment to it's fullest capacity to supply. This is an evidence not only of the popu- larity of Baughman X Baughman as cigar makers, but of the popularity of the Democratic nominees as well.
 We congratulate Messrs. Baugh- man & Baughman upon their enter prise, for it must be remembered that it has been but little more than a week slnce the nominations were made.

sHERRILL FOLLOWS IN THE
 WAKE OF REDFIELD.
And Her People Join us Hand and Glove. Our Special Edition Meets With an ovation Through
 out the County.

Well, said Mr Quattlebaum, the enterprising merchant of Sherrill, to the GRAPHIC representative as he stepped off the train Friday, you've gotten here and we're ready for you. Of course we want our town represented in your big special edition, and 1 am ready to start the ball rolling for you. And he did, and so did everybody else in that thriving community. The entire county is in accord with Pine Bluff iD this affair, and wherever the GRAPHIC representative goes he is met with an ovation and an assur- ance: eff you don't see what you want-ask for it-and it shall be given you. Such an edition as this will certainty be the most val uable index to the entire county ever published. The enthusiasm is indeed great and grows larger as each day is numbered with the past. Our citizens throughout this entire section begin to realize the necessity of putting this city and county be- fore the world in their true colors, and inviting immigration, and no doubt this great edition will accom- plish a vast good for Jefferson coun- ty, and our enterprising citiznes are doing all in their power to make it a success. During this coming week the other towns in the county will be visited and it is sincerely hoped that they will do equally as well as Redfeld, Sherrill and other portions of the county have done.

Byrd came to the bat. Yowell sent him ball to hit, and he hit it right up into the air; almost out of sight went that ball. In the direction of left field it took it's course. Ger tainly it was beyond the reach of any of the felders, so thought the crowd, but plucky Joe Meyer said unto himself softly "Nay, ray, Pau line' and started after it. Joe was running after the ball and they mixed. His fingers got around it and they never let loose. In the next inning the bookkeepers made l, 2, 5, and making their score 12, while the clerks did nothing until the eighth and ninth when they made one on each. The score stood F to 3 in favor of these who do the desk work.
 Brewster's batting and Fraaklins s work as short stop were features of the game. All in all it was wholly worth the seeing aud it is to be re- gretted that there was not a larger crowd present.

contiguous to Pine Bluff during the Fair, which would bring hundreds of people and thousands of dollars to this city. Not long since a GRAPHIC representative, while out on a busi- ness trip on the Cotton Belt road north and south of this city, was surprised at the number of people he found living within 100 and 150 miles of this city who had never seen Pine Bluff. Nearly all of these expressed desire to visit the Queen City of the Arkansas Valley and would no doubt take advantage of such an opportunity as a County Fair and a reduction in railroad rates would offer to pay their first visit to Pine Bluff.
 But the benefits to be derived by such an enterprise as that proposed are too apparent to require elabor- ate mention. A man is, indeed, very short-sighted and unwise who can't readily appreciate the benefits to be derived by the city and community.
 The GRAPHIC has previous to this time advocated such an institution and pointed out the benefits to flow from it, hence we are for it now, and it is pleasing to observe that movement looking to some practica results in that direction has at last been inaugurated.
 By all means let's have the Fair.

4 GOUNTY FALR.

A number of our enterprising cit izens are agitating the question of organizing joint stock company for the purpose of holding a County Fair at Wiley Jones' Park in this city this coming fall, The promo ters of the enterprise will hold a meeting sometime during this week or next, after which canvass of the city will be made for subscribers to stock. Wiley Jones, with creditable enterprise and generosity, has ten dered the use of his park, with the grand stand and all the buildings
 and stables thereon, free of charge
 for the purposes mentioned, which
 would obviate any great expense in
 connection with the proposed enter
 prise. Itis estimated by those who
 have investigated the subject, that
 in view of this tender of Wiley Jones, that a frst-class fair could be held in this city this fall at an ex. pense of not more than $1, 300 or s2.0OO. This money could be easily raised by tbe organization of stock company. There is not a merchant or business man in Pine Bluff who does not recognize the importance and benefit of such an enterprise, and there is not one who would not sub- scribe for $50, $1OO, $200 or $500 worth of stock. The Atlanta Expo- sition has recently furnished and ob- leet lesson of the value of such en- terprises to city. The Exposi- tion, which closed on the 3lst ult., in- volved a loss of less than 10 per cent to the holders of stock in the Expo sition Company while it has been conservatively estimated that the immediate benefits to Atlanta, in money expended by exposition wis itors, amounted to at least s5, ,000,- GOO.
 Thus, if the entire capital stock of the proposed County Fair should be a total loss, and the Fair itself prove a financial failure, the merchants of Pine Bluff would nevertheless find hat it was a profitable investment because of the number of people it would bring to the city and the mount of money spent by visitors uring the progress of the Fair.
 Our railroads would no doubti eartilv cooperate in the enterprise
