Tn paper on longevity, printed h the Lancet, Dr. Ainslee Hollis comes to the conclusions: CD That the primary factor in long life consists in an inherited durability; the vital machinery Is wound up to go for giv- en period, and but for accidents or in spite of them it will go till the time appointed. CD That an important part of the primary inheritance is good di- gestive and nutritive power. (3) That temperance is necessary in the use of the nutritive functions both in eating and in drinking, and in regard to all kinds of food and drink f4) That an energetic temperament and active hab- it's conduce to longevity.

The Passage saumon, once Center of
 Fashion. to Be Demolished.


 Fashion, to Be Demolished.
 One more landmark of old Paris is to disappear, says the London Tele- graph The Passage Saumon, once the center of fashion, and situated in the heart of the metropolis, IS to be demol- ished and built over. The ground will be offered for sale in the chamber of notaries. Half a century since the Passage Saumon was as fashionable as the Rue de Ia Paix is today. There the dressmakers and milliners of the old days prepared the fnery which was Maids and matrons from the country aocl5ed thither to buy Pamela hats and ytser articles of the kind, and not a W Parisiennes of the period were ai- , dressed there. In its vacinity were 3mous restaurants, one of which, the Rocher de Cancale, still manages to exist. There, too, was the Theater Moliere; while, in the matter of liter ary reminiscenee. it was in the Passage Saumon that Victor Hugo wrote part of Marion Delorme" one rainy day when he entered a cafe there. AL phonse Daudet. too, has left detailed description of the place in one of his earliest books, Le Petit Chose. There are many Parisians of the present gen. eration who do not even know where the Passage Saumon is. The spot has long been neglected for more stately and more monotonous localities in the west, wherein every Well-dressed man and woman thinks and acts alike. It's glory is vanished, like that of the Pal- ais Royal, the Place des Vosges, and other localities famous in the social, artistic and political annals of France. The Passage Saumon is beyond the bourse and connects the Rue Mont martre with the Rue Montorgueuil. Not far from it was the old post office, where people arriving by dili- gences from all parts of France got down. Of late years the Arcade, once so brilliant, had become the dullest and dingiest of city resorts, and was inhabited by cheap mil1iners, small gre- cers, vendors of resuscit&ted tall hats and providers of faded finery for fe- males with limited funds at their dis noSal

LOTS OF STRAWBERRIES.

At At meeting of the strawberry growers held Monday night it was stated that there is now seventy five acres planted that will be marketed at Mena, and before the spring planting is over this will be increased to 100 acres. When these are in full bearing they will furnish lots of work for pickers and bring large sums of money to this place.
 It is expected that the bulk of these will be shipped to the mark cts in refrigerator cars, but many will go by express and we learn that a rate of $1.35 a hund- red pounds has been secured by express by the growers at Jansen.

A FEARFUL DRAIN ON INDUSTRY.


 A bill pending before the New York state legislature asking for the reduction of the legal rate of interest has brought forth the fact that the people are fearfully in debt and that the interest charges are terrible drain on the business and industrial classes as shown in the following published statement. 'sThe 422. 658 lot owners in the state have borrowed $1, 400, 900, 900 on bond and mortgages. There are 146,814 farm owners, who have borrowed $220. GOO, 900 and s. s 6a66 66a66 business firms whose loans aggregate $320,O00, ,OOO. The to- tai annual interest paid upon these loans is estimated at about $1O7, 900, ,0OO."
 It takes great many days la bor for these debtors to earn one hundred and seven million dollars interest money each year and this fact shows what curse it is for the people to be so badly in debt. Under such condition it is no wonder that the industrial classes are uneasy and discontented.

The Bollinger Conservatory Faculty of Fort Smith, Arkansas, will give a concert here Thursday, March 18th, and the music-loving people of this city will certainly receive fine music al treat on this occasion.
 The faculty consists of the following well known artists: Samuel c. Bol- finger, director pianist; Bruno Mich. ist. They will also be assisted by Misses Christine Seeley, pianist; and Lillian Bolinger. cellist; pupils of the conservatory.
 The violin selections, by Mir. Bruno Mlchaelis will be revelation to our people. He has been giving concerts in the European cities with great sue cess, and is by tar the finest violinist in the West His playing, alone, will be worth more than the price of admis- sion.

 To secure the best results, how ever, there should be unity of action and purpose on the part of all who are engaged in the busi- ness to the end that they may se- cure the best prices obtainable for their fruit. To send their fruit to market as competitors would not be wise to say the least, as has been proven in other places, while to combine and ship in car load lots, selecting only the best markets will surely bring the best returns.

Unquestionably the greatest dis covery in science made in this wonderful age of discoveries and inventions is that of liquid air, as fully described with illustrations in McClure's Magazine for Feb ruary. Our space will not per. init of description of this most wonderful of inventions. but we will briefly say that Charles E.. Tripler of New York has discov- cred the process and made the machinery whereby he reduces air to a liquid substance which boils on ice, freezes pure alcohol, burns steel like so much paper and Is most powerful explosive.
 By the use of this liquid air en- zines can be run to drive machin- cry or draw trains at a very low cost, and the discovery threatens to do away with coal as a factor in the production of power. It has been proven that this sub- stance can be manufactured in any house and used to regulate the temperature to any degree de- sired, and one can only imagine what benefits would accrue to the people when the invention shall have been perfected to such an ex- tent as to be put to general use, especially if 1t is not cotrolled by some monopoly.
