THE BUSY MOTH.
How 10 Prevent It's DepredatiOns In
Clothing and Carpets.


The fitting to and fro Of the active
little moth at this season is a warning
to the house mistress of what will hap
pen unless vigorous measures be adopt
ed to protect woolens and furs. When
there are many clothes to be looked
after, it is we'll to take a special day
for the purpose of airing and cleaning
them. If possible, choose a clear, sun
shiny day; If there are breezes stirring.
all the better. Take the wooden gar
ments and attach them to the clothes
line by pins, shaking and beating the
dust from each piece with willow ear
pet beaten. If there are grease spots,
remove them by sponging with ammo
MIA and soft water. When the clothes
have had five or six hours Of sunshine,
they may be brought in and packed
away in mothproof chests.
There are housekeepers who place
great confidence in newspaper wrap
ping as a protection from moths, but IL
one lives in a. particularly 'mothy
place the newspaper is not to be de-
pended upon. If mothproof boxes are
uOI 10 Nc UdNl, put IuS w AAllCA NAO'hNH -
tar paper bags that seal, or, failing that
make large bag out of muslin or cali
co free from holes. Line large trunk
or dry goods box with the empty bag,
pack in the garments, having made
sure that there are no moth eggs in
them. Tie the opening Of the bag
with Irvine, leaving considerable space
for meek" Pack a handful or two of
camphor balls against the inside of the
tied place and tie again, tying the balls
in.
In large cities moths are more numer-
Gus and much more vOracious than in
most small towns or the open country.
For city people it is more prudent to
send costly fur garments and fine rugs
10 a reliable storage house that insures
their safety from moths during sum-
mer.
Moths delight in dark corners, and
they love to deposit their eggs in soft
moQuette and administer carpets and
the fluffy fine woolly parts of the
fringe of upholstered parlor furniture
After being thoroughly beaten carpets
and rugs that are to be kept at home
for the summer would be the better for
being sponged off with turpentine be-
fore being rolled or folded, says The
Household

JENSEN WILL BE GOOD.
Justice Court Lawyer Will Not Modest the
demonstrating is Continued.


MISUNDERSTANDING is Continued.
Chris. Jensen, the Justice Court
lawyer, and Miss Title jacobson, his
former fiancee, have declared truce
and it is probable that all proceedings
against the lawyer will be dropped.
Jensen was ii til County Court again
Thursday afternoon pending the new
hearing in regard to his mental condi-
ton and as usual he had new card up
his sleeve to secure the dismissal of
the action. The action was not dis
missed, but as Jensen was willing to
promise not to modest the Jacobsons,
the matter is dropped for the present.
This will probably be the last of the
case, as Jensen is alleged to have Sc
cured certain papers held by the ia
cobsons which he considers valuable,
and for this reason he states that there
is no reason for him to go to the ia
cobson home. Jensen has led the Off
Gals merry chase and his ability to
overcome all their efforts seems to
show that he is about as sane as any
of them.
OF course the alleged suit of Jensen
against the county officials was huge
joke and it is receiving little credence.

The goods came on a wheelbarrow, and
Mrs. O'Sullivan and Mrs. Divito was

REGULAR BOOOLER.

The Pine Bluff grand jury is
reported to have returned two in
dictments against Prosecuting
Attorney Walter B. Sorrells,
charging him with malfeasance
in office. In detail he is charged
with demanding and receiving
$50 as fee in a pretended case
of gaming when no such charge
had been filed in court; malfeas-
ance in office by accepting S15 in
a case pending in circuit court, in
consideration of which amount
Sorrells did not prosecute case;
receiving S35 from an attorney
under an agreement with said
attorney that he would dismiss
two indictments pending against
a client of said attorney; receiv-
ing 5000, in consideration of
which he was not to prosecute
party paying same, for running
gambling house; installing a
frivolous, groundless and malic-
ious charge against one E. j..
Byrne before Squire J. H. Bald
win; demanding and receiving
S75 from L. W. Clement, in con-
sideration of which he was not to
prosecute Clement for setting up
a crap table on Clements plan
tation, nor to prosecute any ne
groes on said plantation for
gambling; offering to accept a
bribe of 5000, in consideration of
which he was not to prosecute the
operator of a cotton exchange,
which establishment is operated
for, the selling II futsres--in cot
ton, grain and other articles"
These are serious charges, and
if proven to the satisfaction of the
jury in the trial court Mr.. Sor-
rells will not only be deprived of
his office but fined as we'll. If
the practice of prosecuting attor-
neys throughout the state was a
matter of public record would
such charges as these be a matter
of surprise? Certainly most of
the prosecuting attorneys do not
resort to such methods, but one
cannot help wondering what the
public would say if the private
acts of their officers were as we'll
known as their public acts.-Ar-
kansas Democrat.

Little Rock. While waiting for
the local to do its usual two to
three hours work, the Blade man

Meeks is one of the best known
attorneys in Arkansas, he was
once a member of the state board
of charities and has held other
positions Of trust, and at the next
election may be candidate for

AMONG THE PEARL HUNTERS,

The pearl business has been
quite brisk the past week.
Charley Lewis sold one for $50.
Shed Allison found one Monday
for which he was offered $500, he
wanted $500, and sold for 5000.
Hosea Nunnally, of Powhatan.
found one Monday which he rated
at 81, 900.
Waiter M,cCarroll found one
Monday while pearling. 1t was
not in a shell at all, and he sold
it for S100.
Some funny and ridiculous
things happen in the pearl busi-
ness. Most every fellow has a
partner and they have lots of
trouble watching each other. 1t
is said that during the past week
two partners had been operating
together for several days without
success. Late one evening a
small pile of shells remained un-
opened. One partner. tired and
disgusted, told his partner that he
could have his interest in the un-
opened shells for 81. The trade
was made, the would be buyer
went ahead and opened the shells
and found a pearl which he asked
81 900 for. The partner who sold
out claimed half interest in that
pearl because he claimed that the
dollar he was to get had never
been paid.
Major Fay, a noted Seventh
Day Adventist, says he never
goes after pearls until after earn
est prayer, and he says he never
fails to find them. He has found
something like ST 900 worth this
season.-Black Rock Blade.

the asylum which he used to
control.
There is not the slightest ques-
ton that mental disease was bred
III hnn by constant association
with those mentally afflicted.
The climax in his misfortune was
caused by his failure to cure his
adopted daughter of insanity.
When he discovered that her case
was hopeless, his mind gave way
and he will spend the rest OF
his life as a hopeless maniac.
If man can be thus afflicted
by a repulsive disease which can
have no possible attraction for
him, think how powerful and how
fatal must be the effects of asso-
citation with vices and Affections
that attract US.
If a strong minded physician
cannot associate with the insane
without himself becoming insane,
what chance has a young man or
a young woman or a young child,
left to associate with others
morally deranged?
Every man or woman who IS
responsible for the care of young
people she culd find a lesson in the
affliction of this insanity expert.
Every man and woman, bear
ing in mind the fact that the brain
absorbs impressions constantly,
and is constantly changing its
complexion, should resolve to
avoid such companionship and
surroundings as they would not
willingly initiate.
In the old proverbs there is
often much scientific wisdom, and
this is true of the saying:
"Tell me thy company, and |
will tell thee what thou art"

A SENSIBLE FARMER.

Every county newspaper thai
is what it should be is friend Of
the farmer and does all it can tC
nelp its rural neighbors. Some
times this fact is not appreciated
by our farmer friends as it should
be. In a recent adresss before a
farmers association, one of the
speakers said:
"As a rule the farmer has no
firmer friend than the country
press. The home paper is dis
tlnctly the farmers own paper,
supported directly and indirectly
by farmers who compose the
backbone Of the printers sub
s3ription list and largely for what
the enterprising merchant adver-
uses. NOW, brother, let us not
forget our friends. Let us see
that our subscription is paid be-
fore the first of January and a
year in advance if we can afford
it, The man or the paper which
nights my battle shall have the
support. Another thing, the
merchants who advertise are the
ones who make it possible for us
to get good local paper, and the
men or firms who are too penur-
lous to advertise and help support
the local press have no right to
the farmers patronage. | pro-
pose hereafter to 60 to a live ad-

1T is CATCHING.

The New York Journal reasons
that insanity is catching, anG
backs up its statement with in
stances where there can be nc
doubt.
All human beings imagine
themselves, thanks to our natural
blissful condition of egotism, to
be hly-important separate in
dividuals, says the Journal.
We think that we are born in
dependent of all other men and
women, and that each Of us can
map out his life in his own way.
AS a matter Of fact, we are
simply drops in a big cistern, and
we take on, in spite of ourselves,
the characteristics of the drops
next 10 us.
Take drop Of pure water and
throw it into the ocean, it becomes
salt. Throw the same drop into
a cesspool, and it becomes foul.
Human beings, in spite Of
themselves and without any ex-'
ception, absorb the characteris-
tics of those around them.
These very commonplace re-
marks are suggested by the case
of DR.. Geo. A. Schurtleff.
This unfortunate physician was
for years superintendent of the
Stockton insane asylum, in Cali
fornia.
He was looked upon as a man
of extraordinary mental power,
great expert in insanity.

BANK CLERKS IN ENGLAND.
E-2ry of Them Are Subject to SumptH.
airy Laws and Other Try
ing Restrictions.

Bank clerks generally look so sleek
and comforta BILE, and are invariably so
well grocmed that their grievances
rarely receive a patient hearing. One
who was recently discharged for the
terrible crime Of smoking a pipe in a
city cafe during one of the hours sacred
to what is called by city courtesy lunch,
writes giving list Of strictions which
he declares are absurd, says the London
Express.
No clerk is allowed to smoke pipe
in the streets during banking hours or
4. The average clerk salary is
- very high, but, nevertheless, he
must wear a silk hat and come to the
office dressed as one with double the
salary. Wearing a cap to business is
not to be thought of. as it is an unpar-
donable offense in the eyes of the bank
officials. The salary of the average
bank clerk ranges from about Sos per
week, but in many banks the salary is
much lower and the chances of promo
tion very small
A clerks money is greatly diminished
by his having to subscribe to numerous
funds, such as sports fund. to keep
-'e cricket or football ground in order,
Oh he himself is never able to see.
saturday is no holiday for him, as he
does not leave the office on those DAYS
until about four or five o'clock. It
must not be supposed that the days
work of a bank clerk ends with the
closing of the bank to customers. in
fact it only begins a that time
