The Little Rock Democrat is urg-

The Power of the Press.

"The power of the press" is a
common expression, but few really
realize its actual power. Deep
thinkers do not hesitate to assert
that half the crime ofour country
NAV be traced to this source. But
great as is the influence of the
press, it cannot begin to equal the
power of Hostetter's Stomach Bit
tiers over disease. Most diseases
originate in a weak stomach. The
Bitters strengthens the stomach,
purifes the blood and cures consti-
patton. 1t will tone up the nervous
system and stimulate inactive kid

THE ASTOR CHINA.
A $50, 900 Set Added to a PreVi-
ously Elaborate and Elk
pensive Collection.

New York. jan 23.-Mrs. William AS
tor has recently paid a fortune for some
dishes. She has given in return for a
mere set of china 10000 American dol
lars. There are 212 pieces in ALL each
of which is worth almost its weight IN
gold. Mrs. Astor now owns the most
costly china in America. This $4,000
set of china was originally intended for
royalty.
The china was made in the famous
Royal Meissen factory in Dresden, and q
sample was sent to Mrs. Astor when
she was in Paris last March The plate
sent on approval SO delighted New York S
society leader that she ordered the china
at once, with instructions to add the AS
tor crest and her own monogram.
Though the dishes reached America
last summer they have only been seen
by chosen few, the hOnored guests at
Mrs. AStor'S first formal dinner given
but a few weeks ago
Mrs. Astor has added another servant
to her already large retinue, a woman
whose sole duty is to care for these yalu-
BILE dishes
The china is rich cream-white in tint,
with a slightly scalloped edge. Close to
the rim, traced in glittering gold, is the
famous star-scattered Aston crest. Be
low the crest and encircling each plate
is band Of gold, then a band of brilliant
red, bordered by another cleaning gold
line, and then, still further down in the
plate, directly under the crest, are the
golden letters &c. A." Caroline Astor),
wrought into an artistic monogram.
The soup dishes are large and deep,
measuring ten inches in diameter. The
plates are slightly smaller in size. The
platters are oblong in shape and are
square at the ends rather than rounded
The three-cornered dishes are all the
same size.
The china is not only remarkable for
it's fabulous cost but for the simplicity
of its design.
The care of it is a story all of itself.
Not one of the 212 pieces is ever allowed
to touch the other, so brittle are these
wonderfully costly plates. A china clos
ct has been specially built to hold them,
and each dish is always put in niche of
its own.

he mentioned that Mrs. Merriam was to
be one of his guests. While Mrs. Davis
was hesitating III regard to the matter

earliest callers He asked if she had de-
cided to accept the invitation, and in the.
meantime mentioned that Mrs. Merriam
would like to call upon Mrs Davis. but
explained that the senator's wife had
never returned the call Mrs Merriam,
made two years ago. Mrs. Davis re-
piled that the call was a matter of bust
ness, and she would have returned it had
it been a social call.

Madrid, Jan. 23.-According TO Il dis

FOR A LOVELY VOICE.
The Following Pastes and Rules will
Make One.


Like anything else the voice can be
trained and modelled with a little care.
One should never scream, shrek or even
raise the voice above its natural pitch.
and when singing should avoid straining
jured, never regain their softness. Here
against the exaggerated use of tobacco,
alcoholic drinks, highly-spiced food. etc,
for their effect on the voice is disastrous
said a famous opera singer.
Plenty of milk, buttermilk, raw eggs,
hot water have i beneficial effect on the
voice. Chickweed tea cures noarseness
and so does an infusion of plantain leaves
and elder blossoms.
In the Orient a wonderful paste is pre-
pared from the pulp Of the apricot and
the fig which marvel0usly softens and
sWeetens the voice. The fruit is peeled
and slowly cooked with an equal quantity
Of sugar until reduced to thick syrup,
when it is poured into fiat pine boxes and
allowed to dry in the sun. A few pieces
of this paste eaten two or three times
day are said to cure all the small troubles
Of the throat and lungs-cankers, colds,
etc.
Another, and this is a very ancient
remedy for the same complaint, is to slice
some raw carrots into a deep plate or dish
and to thickly cover them with fine granu-
lated sugar Put the dish on ice for three
hours, when you will find that all the
juice Of the carrots has turned the sugar
into a delicious syrup, a spoonful of which
is to be taken at a time.-Philadelph

The Naval Lessons of the War.

It is, then, the first and greatest lessen
of this war that good ships and guns are
useless if there are not good officers, en-
gineers and seamen to work the ships,
and good gunnerS to lay the guns. Far
ragut's wise saying that 1.-THE best de-
Tense against the enemy is a Well-directed
fire from our own guns" is triumphantly
indicated. 1t IS an extraordinary fact
that the Spanish government, whilst pur-
chasing or building the ships, took no
steps to train the men. Unlike the great
nayies of Europe-British, French Rus
sian, German and Italian-the Spanish
navy has neglected maneuvers in peace
We search in vain for any sign of that
incessant drilling upon the sea which has
made the American, British and French
fleets SO formidable. Target practice,
which in these three navies and the Ger
man has received the utmost possible at
tention, was similarly overlooked. There
are tales, true or untrue, that the ammu-
milton issued to Spanish ships was never
expended. Spanish vessels, indeed, pre-
scented hne appearance at Iiel, Spit
head and the Columbian review, but an
imposing exterior is nothing in war The
neglect OF battle training has terribly
avenged itself
The explanation of this neglect NAV be
found IN several directions-in national
obstlnacy, which imagined that the Span
lard was III courage the superior of every
foreigner, and that naval war was a mere
matter of luck and pluck; in corruption
which diverted from their proper aim
sums voted for the navy; and in national
poverty, which could not support the
heavy cost of an adequate fleet. 1t is a
fairly obvious fact that five ships with
trained crews are better than ten ships
with unframed men. But the imbecile
mismanagement Of Spain during the war
renders it probable that her rulers had
not grasped even this truism.--H w
Wilson in Harper's Magazine
