There Is more catarrh In this
section OF the country than all dis
eases put together, and until the
last few years was supposed to be
incurable. For a great many years
doctors pronounced 1t local dis
ease, and prescribed local remedies,
and by constantly falling to cure
with local treatment, pronounced 1t
incurable. Science has proven ca
tarrh to be constitutional disease
and therefore requires constitution

NEWS OF ARKANSAS.
Plea from the Sheriffs

Sheriff Schader, of Pulaski coun- ty, secretary of the Arkansas Sher- ifs Association, is sending out the following circular letter to the mem- bers and to the newspapers through out the state, it being plea for the agitation in the present campaign of the need for an addition to the state insane asylum: "Home, Sweet Home, is the nearest spot on earth to man and woman, and 'tis more appreciated by those denied home Those of us who are sound in mind and body can look out for ourselves :; those of us who are afflicted in body, if not able to look out for ourselves, have relatives or friends, or san be taken care of by the county in which we live. Those of use who are. so unfortunate as to be sick in mind not only cannot look out for our selves, but neither relatives nor friends can properly take care of us, because we know not what we do The insane are with us; and the state should provides a place where they can be treated and confined without doing violence to themselves or to others. Our jails are filled with the unfortunate insane. Our iails are not constructed to prop erly treat or confne this class of un- fortunates. The sheriffs do the best possible, but that is poor indeed. There can be no sight so sad as a man or woman dethroned of req son, oftentimes naked, swearing and tearing, breaking up everything in reach, confined in little cell in one of our county jails. If the state owes duty more sacred than an- other to its citizens 1t is to provide a place for its insane, where they can have medical treatment and can be clothed, confined and properly handled In view of the fact that the last legislature would have pro rided for the erection of branch asylum or an addition to the present one but for the claims of different localities, it is deemed wise that this question should be discussed in the coming campaign, so that senators and representatives will go to Lit tie Rock prepared to vote for an ap- propriation and location of an asy- lum.

State Bonds Bought.

At meeting of the state debt board last week, the board accepted the offer of Kohn & Co.,, of St. Louis, for the sale of thirteen $1,0OO bonds and one $500 bond of the 3 per cent funding issue of 1899. The offer was made at 98 L-2 cents, and the discount balancing the interest the state secured the bonds at their face value of $13, 300, and thereby saved six months interest. The $500 bond and eleven of the others were bought for the state university permanent endowment fund, and the other two bonds were redeemed out right from the sinking fund. On January 1 there was a total of $146,- 790.62 in the treasury to the credit of the sinking fund. On that date, under act of the legislature approv- ed on April 25 last, $8O,O0O of this amount was transferred to the capi- tol fund, and after the deduction of the payment of accrued interest on the bonds recently taken up from Washington county and the purchase of the bonds, there is left a balance of 60,798.12 in the sinking fund with which to retire the states bond ed indebtedness. On January 1 the floating debt amounted to $65,000, which has been reduced to $51,500. It thus appears that the state has funds in hand sufficient to discharge every cent of its indebtedness, with a surplus of 69,298.12.

Disastrous Fire at Brink!ey.

Brinkley was visited by disas- trous fire on the 11th inst, which swept away large portion of the business center of the town. The fire originated in the rear of the Ar lington hotel, large frame struct- ure, containing twenty-five rooms. There was an unusually large num- Der of guests in the hostelry at the time, and the alarm was followed by the utmost confusion among them. A strong wind blew from the west, flaming the flames into fury. The entire structure was quickly wrap ped in sheets of flame The frame building on the cast of the hotel, and adjoining were soon ignited. The hotel building was entirely de- stroyed, and six store rooms were burned. The fire fighters managed to save great portion of the goods in the several stores One man per ished in the Arlington hotel. Charles Starkey, of Stuttgart, employed by a real estate firm of Wheatley, had arrived at the hotel during the after noon. He ate an early supper and re- tired. He was the only guest who failed to escape from the burning building. He occupied a room near the point where the fire originated, and was probably suffocated from smoke The body was recovered. It was horribly charred, but was iden- tifed by the proprietor of the hotel. The loss is estimated at between $5O,O00 and S75,000.

Interesting Case in Supreme Court.

In the case of John R. Ferguson ct al. vs. Josey & Ward, there arose in the supreme court an interesting question as to the right of officers to seize and destroy liquor brought into prohibition districts contrary to law. Ferguson, as sheriff of Hampstead county, acting on the warrant of the mayor of Hope, seized certain liquors which were the prop erty of Josey & Ward, they having been previously arrested on warrant from the mayor. The act of Feb ruary 13, 1899, authorizes proper authorities to issue search warrants for the seizure and confscation of liquors brought into prohibition dis tricts to be sold. The appellees, Jo- sey & Ward, insisted that so much of this act as provided for search was unconstitutional.
 The supreme court held that since the evidence showed that the liquors were illegally kept for sale in the prohibition district the seizure of and destruction of the goods was perfectly legal, and that the plaintiff could not recover.

BitIninE Green Mood.

There are many farmers VINO seem to
like to burn green wood, and no doubt
some of tnem think it is economy to do
SO because it lasts longer. Others do
it only because they think they cannot
find time TO cut years supply ahead
and have it well seasoned and put un-
der cover before the fall rains and Win
ter SHOWS have soaked it again. But
it is certainly poor economy. Nearly
all varieties weigh so percent more
when green lnan when dry, and some
even lose more than that in being
properly seasoned That adds to the
labor of handing and hauling, for
what weighs one ton when dry weighs
5000 pounds when first cut. Nor is this
Ill of the loss. 1t takes heat to evap-
crate that extra amount Of water. We
believe the scientists say that when
wood is burned entirely green so per-
cent of it's own heat is used up in evap.
Grating the water This makes 5000
pounds of green wood equal in heating
power to 1000 pounds of perfectly dry
wood. OF course few burn wood entire
ly green, but there are many who do
not have it entirely dry or we'll sea-
soned. Any good housewife who has
been obliged to use green wood for the
kitchen fire can tell of delay in getting
the meal in season, hindering her work
and that of others, and of poorly
cooked food because she could not get
the oven hot enough Then there is
another loss, loss of temper from the
delay and the poor food. 1t is there
fore case of cruelty for any man to
compel his family to burn green wood.

Siamese Ant Cavalry.

Not long ago French explorer, NJ.
Charles Meissen, in travelling through
Siam observed a species of small gray
ants which were new to him. These
ants We're much engaged in travelling;
they lived in damp places and went in
troops. To his surprise he noticed
among them from time to time an Oc-
casiOnal ant which was much larger
than the others and moved at much
swirter pace, and each of these larger
ants, NJ. Meissen saw, always carried
one Of the gray ants on its back. This
discovery led him to watch their move
ments closely. He soon saw that while
the main body of gray ants was always
on foot, they were accompanied by at
least one of their own sort mounted on
one of these larger ants. He mounted
and detached himself now and then
from the line, rode rapidly to the head,
came swiftly back to the rear and
seemed to be the commander of the ex-
pedition. The explorer was satisfied
from his observation that this species
of ant employs larger ant-possibly a
drone of the same species, though he
had no means of proving this-as we
employ horses to ride upon, though
scarcely more than one ant in each col
ony seems to be provided with q
mount.-St. James's Gazette.

IinpOrtance OF Testing Milk.

There certainly is no factor that has
been more potent in effecting the
marked increase in the average pro-
duction of uairy cows than the Bah
cock test. Herds averaging 800 to $50
pounds of butter year are no longer
considered anything phenomenal. More
than this, the person who goes into
GARY farming with the intention not
only of securing an existence but also
OF making money, finds that he cannot
afford to keep cows which fall below
the 300-pound standard.
Yet look at the vast army of herds
whose average annual production does
not even reach the 200-pound mark.
1t is therefore not to be wondered at
that farmers occasionally complain
that darying doesn't pay. With the
aid of Babcock test and pair of
scales it is within the power of every
farmer to grade up his herd, in the
course of few years, to the 300-pound
standard. The milk is to be weighed
and tested for sufficient length of
time to know just what each cow is
1oing. To do this with the least amount
of labor and sI.Il wl,n a fair degree of
accuracy, test and weigh the milk of
each cow for three consecutive days of
each month. OF course a composite
sample is taken, which will give the
average test for three days, and will
recessitate only one actual test. In
making these tests, it may soon be dis
covered that some of the herd are kept
at an actual loss, while others are
yielding good profit. The outlay for
q tester will not exceed 81, and the
manipulation of the test is SO simple
that with little study every farmer
can use it for his purpose with suffi-
Gent accuracy.
The time is not far distant when all
milk, whether for creamery, cheese
factory or city supply, will be bought
strictly on the fat basis; in other
words, by the Babcock tes..-John
Michels, in Michigan Farmer.

A Word That is Doomed.

Smart is doomed, they say. AS a
fashionable expression its death war
rant was signed when the unfashion-
a Jle began to use it. Already 1t is on
it's way to the worse than oblivion"
where stylish" was consigned a few
years ago, and a great many years ago
"genteel." If there be one particular
use of "smart" that good taste objects
to more than another just now is "the
smart set" From a trenchant and vi
tai definition. this has become almost a
joke.
No new expression seems to be at
hand to take the place Of "smart."
"Swagger" comes nearest 1t, but the
chances are that "swagger" will be
even shorter lived than smart" Why
is it that, of all fashions in words,
those relating strictly to fashion are
the most ephemeral? Fashion, in any
phase, is rarely so consistent.

Deafness Cannot Be Cured

by local applications as they cannot reach the
diseased portion of the ear. There is only one
way to cure deafness, and that is by consti-
tutional remedies. Deafness is caused by an
lnfamed condition of the mucous lining of
the Eustachian Tube. When this tube is in
famed you have rumbling sound or imper-
feet hearing, and when it is entirely closed
Deafness is the result, and unless the infam-
nation can be taken out and this tube re-
stored to it's normal condition, hearing will
be destroyed forever. Nine cases out of ten
are caused by catarrh, which is nothing but an
inlamed condition of the mucous surface.

case of Deafness Caused by catarrh) that
