In our news columns yesterday there W a dispatch from Conway telling or the opening of the Dem ocratic campaign i'll Faulkner county, at Mayhower. Our cor respondent makes mention of Col. F.. A. Bolton's speech, i'll which that gentleman advocated a road tax. setting forth the advantages of voting it to the farmers who were present, and calling their at tention to the fact that where a road tax is voted the merchants must pay for keeping up the coun- try roads. He might have added that the merchants i'll all the towns and cities of the State will not ob- ject to the payment of this tax, be- cause the improvement of the pub lie highways is of mutual benefit to the merchant and the farmer. Col. Bolton is right in advocating this tax, and if other gentleman i'll the State who are charged with the discussion of public measures before the voters will pursue a like course, we shall, within few years, have public highways that are creditable to the State, and an incalculable advantage will be realized by those who most use the roads. Hon. w. H. Duncan, county judge of Faulkner county, also favored the road tax and ad- vanced good arguments why 1t should be voted. We commend the course of these gentlemen i'll this matter to county officers and public men elsewhere in the State.

Tiemann's Well-Known Paper, ION the
Aroma of the Violet"
Tiemann, the German chemist who
died the other day, published in 1898,
along with Kruger, his well-known
paper, ION the Aroma of the Violet
says Nature. 1t was however, the
aroma rather of the iris root, or orris
root with which that of the violet
may or may not be identical). that he
investigated. The quantity of the
odoriferous principle contained in iris
root is so infinitesimal, and that of the
root to be extracted consequently so
large, that, as he states, the resources
of mere scientific laboratory proved
unequal to the task and this prelim-
mary part of the investigation had to
be carried out in the works at Holz-
minden. The substance thus isolated
was thoroughly Investigated and it's
constitution established. In order to
indicate its origin and at the same
time it's constitution, he termed it
irone. His attempt to synthesize it
was not, from the point of view of the
pure chemist, successful, although for
the manufacturing chemist it was of
the utmost value. Starting with
citral, obtained from oil of
lemons or from lemon grass
oil, he condensed this substance with
acetone, converting it into compound
which he termed pseudo-iodine; this,
when treated with dilute sulphuric
acid, yielded ionone, not identical with
irone, but so closely resembling it in
smell that very few people can detect
the difference. For the purposes Of the
perfumer, therefore, ionone is every
whit as good as irone. It is now manu-
featured, and the value of the process
to the patentees may be judged from
the attempts that have been made to
invalidate the patent-attempts that
have been foiled in courts of law both
in this country and in Germany.

A Mammoth Tusk.

A huge tusk from Alaska has lust
arrived at Pearl street warehouse.
1t was brought from the northern por-
ton Of the territory by Norwegian
clergyman, who was detailed in 1896
by the government to accompany a.
reindeer expedition into the Yukon
country. The tusk is said by scientific
experts of the University of Minnesota
to be from 5000 to 5000 years old. It
was found sticking out of the bank of
a river, absolutely black from age and
outside decay; near it were the teeth
and head Of the mammoth, but no
skeleton. As it lies in the warehouse
it presents a circular shape, extending
from base to tip ten and two-thirds
feet. 1t is estimated that the broken
tip had a projection Of fifty inches,
which would have brought the total
length to fifteen feet. In it's present
condition the tusk weighs IT'S pounds.
The hollow portion at the larger end
is plainly shown. Experts have said
that the circumference of the base now
twenty-eight inches, was formerly
larger by a layer of an inch and half;
but that much half-decayed matter
was injudiciously scraped away, leav-
ing the ivory smooth surface. The
owner does not desire to make COM
mercial disposition of the tusk, but
he has communicated with the Smith
sonian Institution in regard to it.. It
is said by experts to be one of the
largest. If not the largest, tusk in the
world.-New York Evening Post.

among the People OF Many Different
Countries.
Siamese people have SO superstitious
dislike for odd numbers that they
strive always to have an even number
of rooms, doors, windows, closets, etc.,
in their houses. Among many of the
colored people of the south the super
stition prevails that it is good luck
to meet frog; they believe the one
thus favored is about to receive money
from some unexpected place. 1t was
belief among the Egyptians that the
third finger of the left hand was con-
nected with the heart by means of a
slender nerve. From that belief came
the; custom Of wearing the wedding
ring on that finger. 1t is commonly
believed among the peasantry. in the
Ural mountains that for wolf to see
a man before the man sees the wolf
is an omen that he will be struck
dumb" and so remain as long as the
wolf lives. A superstition prevalent
among housemaids in France is that to
kill "money-spinner" is unlucky;
thus they studiously spare the webs
whenever they can we'll do so. In Ty-
rol the rose is believed to be a sleep
producer, and rose leaves are thrown
into the fire for good luck" In
j France and Italy it is believed that
the maid who buries drop of her
blood under a rose bush will be re-
warded with rose-tinted cheeks. The
rose was an emblem of Immortality
among the Syrians, and the Chinese
planted it over graves. In Holland and
Belgium it is believed that ill-luck is
sure to follow all through life any one
that, accidentally or otherwise, kills a
stork. There was superstition among
the Romans that it was unfortunate
for a person starting on journey to
meet frog in his road; and so strong
was this belief that the traveller would
return and wait until the next day to
begin his journey. In many parts Of
Europe it is at the present day con-
sidered an omen of 1ll-luck for a hare
to cross the road in front of traveller
