ALDER

A very responsible du devo Y s upon the municipal voters next Tuesday in the selection of Alder men, There are five Aldermen to be elected next Tuesday one from each of the four wards and an ad- diticnal Alderman in the Third ward to fill the vacancy caused by the resignation of H. Riley.
 There IS no more important duty devolving upon the voters than the selection of good councilmen. Pine Bluff may have ever so good, progressive and honest a Mayor, but unless he is backed bg wise, honest and efficient council, his adminis- tration will be productive of no beneficial results. The Mayor is only the executive officer of the city. It is his duty to enforce the law, not to make it. The law making power is lodged in a city council, invested with plenary power in the mat ter of legislation so far us the city is concerned.
 In our remarks we do not mean to make inyiduous distinctions be- tween the various candidates for adormanic honors. Our hope and desire is simply to impress upon the voters the importance of the posi- ton, and the necessity of selecting the best men for the same. The position of councilman is 8 very i'm portanl and responsible office, and we are pleased to see good men and reliable eitizens-identiied with the interests of the city-aspire to it, and we hope to see the very best men offering for the place elected at the coming city election.

TRAPPING GROWS.
It Is Not an Easy Matter to Net the wiIy
 Birds.

It Is Not an Easy Matter to Net the Willy
 Birds.
 Crows are trapped and sold to sports men for shooting matches, usually bring ing $10 per 100, but, like other things, when scarce they bring more.
 It is no simple matter to trap crows, for tho crow is willy bird, and to catch him in net set for that purpose re- quires skill, and patience Hs well, but the hunger of the crow is- always the srapper' 8 greatest aid. One man alone would make but little headway catching crows and would probably sit all day in his little bough house ready to spring his net, but the crows would give his bait wide berth because they would know that he was there.
 After placing the carcass of some ami nal on field the net is set close to it by bending poles of saplings, on which the net is hnng fiat to the ground, where they are held down by triggerlike pegs, and line run 90 yards OF more to a house built of boughs, where the trap. per is seereted.
 Another carcass is usuaiIy laid some hundreds of yards distant ca the same or another field, where there is no net set. The trappers, usually two ill num- ber, go into the houfh house together before daylight, and W ben tue crows be- gin to assemlle oatha fields one of them goes out and walks away The crows, seeing him leave, grow little bolder and approach the bait in ones and tW0s, but stop only long enough to get beak- ful of the flesh and fly off again. The carcass whele there is no Het set is of course the best patronized, but the trap per oil the outside makes it his business to walk near enough to that to keep tho crows from settling on it in numbers and thus satisfying their hunger with. out going to the one where the net is. After awhile their hunger gets the bet ter of their judgment or their fear, and they gather on the carcass where the net is This is the opportunity of the man ill the bough house. who, with a vigorous pull oil the line, springs the net over them. Quick work must be done then by the trappers, who rush up to the net, to keep the trapped crows from crawling cut at the ends and the front, where it is not staked fast to the ground. With their hands covered with stout beckskin gloves, to keep the crows from biting and scratching them, the captured birds are put in bags ready to be carried off the field. From 40 to 60 are frequently caught at one pull, but 1t is rare thing to get more than two springs of the net ill one day. -Phila. delphia Record.

Tn Choosing Paintings Get at the Inten.
 ton of the Artist.
 The value of picture depends upon what there is in it for it's possessor, '' writes William Martin Johnson in The Ladies Home Journal, on the "Selee tioa and Framing of Pictures. " "A painting by all amateur may be mora precious in your eyes than one of Ra. phaeis cartoons. Therefore sell your cartoon to the highest bidder, and when you outgrow the little painting buy back the cartoon if you have learned to @1s it's beauty.
 No one can tell you how to under stand art without your seeing it, study tug II, living with 1t, any more than any one ean tell you how to tell good cloth from hud You must first have had experience with cloth. Learn a language before you try to converse. But do net go so far az to imagine that you must learn drawing and painting before you can appreciate pictures The less you know about technique the more capable you will be of looking at painting with an unprejudieed eye.

II the picture is that of q head, does it impress you as having the char aoteristios of all individual? Does it look like human being? Suppose a landscape is under discussion-do the trees sway, the clouds float? Is there any atmosphere in the painting? These ara the tests of painter facility with lan- guage.

 Mrs. Fields Tells an Interesting Auecdote
 of the Author.
 Speaking of Longfellow, in her vol ume of literary "reminiscences, Mrs. Jane J. Fields says:
 His kint ness and love of humor ear ried him though many tedious iate= ruption. He generously overlooked r 2 fact of the subterfuges to which men and women resorted in order to get au interview, and, to help them out, made as much of their excuses as possible. Speaking one day of the persons who cams to sec him at Nahant, he said: One man, a perfect stranger, came with an omnibus full of Indies. IIe descend ed, introduced himself then, returning to the omni us, took out all the ladies, one, two, three, four and five, with a little girl, eud brought them in. I en- tertalned them to the best of my ability, and they staid an hour. They had scarce ly gone when forlorn woman in black came up to me on the piazza and asked for dipper of water. Certainly, :" replied, and went 10 fetch her q glass When l brought it, she said: "TheYe is another woman just by the fence wEo is tired and thirsty. l will carry this 10 her. But she struck her head as she passed through the window and spilled the water on the piazza. .'Oh. what have l donel" she sad "If I had a floor cloth, would wipe t up. 7 eOh, no matter about the water, l said, If you have moi hurt yourself. Then I went and brought more water fer them both and sent them on their way re- freshed and rejoicing
 Tt would be both an endless and un- profitable task to recall more of the cu- rious experiences which popularity brought down upon him. There is q passage among Mr. Fields notes, how ever, in which he describes an incident during Longfellow' s last visit to Eng land which should not be overlooked. Upon his arrival the queen sent n grace ful message and invited him to Windsor castle, where she received him with all the honors, but he told me no foreign tribute touched him deeper than the words of an English bod carrier who came up to the carriage door at Harrow and asked permission to take the hand of the man who had written the Voices of the Night

The End of nnnks

What brings about the end of books? Is it fire, water worms? As every ship launched is bound to be wrecked, every theater to be burned, the ffnis of the book is its reduction to ashes. What be- came of the Alexandrian library? Did the Saracens burn it in GAO? There is this question asked: Was there any li- brary at Alexandria containing 700, 900 books? Gibbon inclines to the opinion that there was no such library. Canon Taylor insists that if there had been a library it was burned in the time of Ju- Illus Caesar. Tradition seems to indicate, however, that there was a library in the Serapeum, by no means a large col. lection, but whether destroyed by The ophilus or Theodosius is not known. It looks as if the charge brought against the Arabs rested on no foundation Re cent explorations of Alexandria. l895-6, show no traces of the Serapeum. The seaport of Egypt was built on damp foundation, and, granting that there was library, if not destroyed by fire, then the papyri might have suffered from decay due to water Books of to- day taken to India, to the southern states and to the West Indies perish through mildew.

THE floods in Eastern Arkansas have forced the game in that oaality to seek safety on the ridges and high points. If the game laws are not rigidly enforced at this time, and hunters prevented from slaughter.ng the helpless wild ani- mals, the game preserves of the State will be almost exterminated. On the eastern side of the river, and especially in Mississippi, we notice that one or two sheriffs have issued proclanations warning the public against the destruction of game, and avowing their purpose to en- force the severest penalties for any iufraction of the law Arkansas Democr
