SCIENTIFIC JoTTINGs.

The editor of the American Journal Of Pharmacy, remarking upon the inn munity of certain domestic animals against particular poisons, suggests that medicinal roots, fruits and seeds, being rich in nutritive materials, may economically be turned to account as food for animals, instead of being thrown away as being of no value after their medicinal constituents have been extracted.
 A letter in a Glasgow paper records phenomenon much too unique to be reserved for Scottish consumption. The writer says: "An acquaintance of mine who lives up north has among others of the feathered tribe little bantam cock. A few weeks ago he noticed that t was looking the worse for a slight difference of opinion with a canine friend, but did not examine it closely, till his mothers and sisters Yocifera- tfons brought him in in a hurry. There was the bantam picking away at corn, but the corn was dropping from rent in the birds chest just as fast as it was lifted. Not wanting to kill the bird, my friend got a needle and some horsehair and stitched up the tear, with the result that the bird now is 'as good as new
 It seems pretty well authenticated that the human voice is capable of starting an avalanche. James Perch ard, clerk of the state Court of Appeals of one of our western states, was min- ing some years ago in mountainous region. The snow had fallen to an un- usual depth and miners moving from one cabin to another were warned to look out for slides. He stopped on one of his trips at the cabin of an acQuaint- ance and took dinner with him and his wife. At the close of the meal his host urged him to stay awhile, but he felt nervous and started on his journey. Crossing the canyon, he looked back at the cabin where the man and his wife were standing at the door. He waved his hand and shouted good-by. Hardly had the echo of his voice died away before muffled noise struck his cara noise like the boom of can- non-and in five seconds the cabin was buried under fifty feet of snow. As- sistance was summoned and finally the two dead bodies were taken out. There is little question that under certain conditions the vibrations of the human voice will produce an avalanche.

Odd Furniture.

Perhaps the oldest suit of furniture in the world is owned by Joseph Ber- ger. hotelkeeper in Budapest For many years he has made it his busi- ness to collect the match boxes from factories of various countries. His collection aggregates 4,OO0 boxes. He ordered a skilled cabinetmaker to equip room with furniture made of these Boxes. The outfit consists of writing fable with smoking apparatus, a fire screen, a eahinet, chair. and other smaller articles. Though the boxes are empty they are adjusted so in- geniously that the pieces are fully as strong as the ordinary furniture.

4 PUBETC NEED.

There is not one person in Pine Bluff today who will say Pine Bluff can do without an opera house. Our enterprise aud the excellent name we have in the commercial world as city of "push" demands that we come to the front with a place of amusement. We possess tbe mon. eyed men, but it seems. they are afraid to invest in real estate of anY kind. We do not see why they are afraid Pine Bluffs future is now more promising than it has ever been before in Us history. Take Texarkana for instance, one citizen alone, the mayor of the town, put up $25, GOO of his hard earned cash to show his faith in the town and the enterprise with which he is blessed. He is not afraid to invest in real estate. He is not afraid of losing his money, shen why should Pine BluffiAns be afraid2 Pine Bluff IS q better town than Texarkana and has better prospects for its fu- ture success. It IS a known fact that Pine Bluff is the best "show town" in Arkansas and managers of amusement companies were only too glad to get "date" here when we had our opera house and many pri- vate letters have been received here this season from showmen wishing to know if we are going to have an- other play house, and at the same time asking for a date. Lat sever al 0. our capitalists come to the front and build an elegant opera house. It will pay them and Pine Bluff would ever be indebted to them. The Commercial League could do the work properly and with dispatch.

How to Make IL Attractive to the
 Men.
 Fewer wives would sit lonesomely at home while their husbands roam else where in search of entertainment If more wives realized that home should be something besides 8 clean place to eat and sleep in, says the Gentle woman. Men hate" women's tea par tics and large show functions, but they ike little dinner and supper parties. Many families refrain from entertain ing because they cannot do so on an expensive scale. It is, however, posst- ble to give small dinners and suppers that are both enjoyable and inexpen- sive. Ask people who either do or will like each other, and if you wish the women to have good time have just as many men guests as women guests. If the men are to have 6 good time make sure that some of the women are pretty and hattering Men like to be fiattered. Oh yes, they do. One of the surest ways to be awkward sin com pany" Is to try to act differently from ones accustomed manner. If ones everyday manner is not good enough for company then 1t should be changed, but the most delightful con- pany manner is the natural manner when it is natural to be charming. One of the charms of an agreeable manner is to seem unaffected: another is to have something to say worth hearing. and to say it easily and interestingly: another is to listen appreciatively when others speak.

Didn't Understand Banking.

Old Abraham Billings is well- known original character in southwest Georgia. He once moved to a new town, where bank was established on small scale; and having saved up $5 in the course of a year, deposited 1t in the bank. The next day he was seen lowering around to see if the bank was still there with his $5, when some one called his attention to its closed doors, whereon was the sign: Bank closed. Legal Holiday" He sat down on the bank steps disconsol- ate. "Consarn 'emt' he said, "the durned cashiers done got a legal holt- day an gone off ter spen' my S5.

Dr. Krohn. a prominent educator, 8 graduate of Yale, and who has studied in France, Germany, Austria Italy and England, says that he is firmly con- vinced that the system of public schools in this country is far in ad- vance of all other nations, but that our system has too much forcing and unless much care is exercised in that regard 1t will tell on the children. He further says that precocity, unless carefully guarded and directed, is al- most as dangerous as imbeeility.

THE GEORGIA LYNCHlNGS-RE-
FORM IN CRIMINAL LAW.

The lynchings i'll Georgia ON Sunday
and Monday sent thrill of horror to the
remotest section of the country. The
revolving crime ought to have been
speedily avenged by the death of the cul-
prits, but the manning and mutilation
are so horrible as to sicken every one
who reads of the lynching. The crime
for which the negroes died is one that
the Southern white man will not let go
unpublished. 1t is one, too. that leaves
no room for calm delberation, but civil
lied men ought not to gloat in melting
out just punishment in an illegal man
ner.
There is not good man anywhere
who will not regret that the law was not
permitted to take its course. Lynch law
may get the right victim and usually
does. but if the evidence is as clear as
in the Georgia cases the punishment is
certain to follow in lawful ways.
There is much truth in Gov Gamblers
criticism of the delay of the courts Ii

Admiral Dewey has felt that the people
here might suppose that he was afraid
to tackle the German navy. On the CON
trary, he was anxious to give them the
whipping their conduct deserved
"ue could see no reason why he should
be subjected to humility at the instance
of the German admiral. He knew that
Spain was helpless, and that her navy
was wiped out. He knew that he could
compete with anything Germany might
float after he had the monitors sent to
him. He knew that Germany could not
fight the United States on land or on sea.
Therefore, he could see no reason for
permitting the long continued insults of
Diedrich. Nevertheless, he permitted
the German admiral to run his course,
and finally called a halt upon him. After
so doing he cabled the Navy Depart
mont and the department never permit
ed our people to know that Dewey had
done the proper and patriotic thing.
Consequently, we all know that Admiral
Dewey wants Coghlan to let our people
know all about it,"
1t is safe to say that if Admiral
Dewey endorses Capt. Coghlan, the adj
ministration will be slow to oblige the
German Ambassador by humiliating the
captain of the first war ship that fired
on the Spanish fleet in the most wonder
full naval engagement in the history of
the world.
