The issue in Arkansas.

From the Savannah News.
One of the political issues in Arkan-
sas seems to be, Was Governor JeH
Davis drunk? The church to which
he then belonged said he was, and ex-
pelled him from mem bership. The
Governor and mauv Of his friends take
the opposite side of the matter and as
sert that he was sober as a judPe at
the tine and place alleged in the bill
of complaint. Now some OF the repuo-
lican stump speakers have taken the
matter up and it is TO go before the
people. We expect to hear in No
vember that the governor was sober
by about As, 600 majority.

things happen in the AGRICULTURAL

operated by stock companies make
more money running by night as well
as by day why should we not expect
to see big farms operated by stock com

An idea, inspired probably by the la
mentable lack OF dressmakers in this VIII
lage, has found Judgement in a masculine
brain that evolved the following: son
account OF women's fashions 100000 is
annually worse than wasted, and $1,000
600 worth Of time is thrown away by
senseless changes. Most Of the styles pro-
uuced are lnelegant, vulgar even, ana RI
diculous, and are the result OF conspir-
acy on the part of manufacturers of cloth
and makers OF garments to sell clothing
not needed at all. A committee of artists
should design national dress of change
less fashion for the use OF all women,
which might be either costly or cheap ac-
cording to the kind and quality of mater
iai used, and the labor now employed in
making new and making-over old gar
ments could then be diverted into useful
channels" Fancy the torture of never
having big sleeves then tight ones, trailed
skirts then short ones, OF foregoing all the
little dressmaking wrinkles that mark the
woman of fashion and add zest to her life
changeless style of dress is a purely
masculine idea and could its adoption be
forced by constitutional enactment upon
feminine wearers, they would be more
anxious than ever for the ballot in order
TO make amendments to the prescribed
plan of the costume or redraft it entirely
every spring and fall, il il required a spe-
cial session of the Congress to do il.

When oft the heavens frOWn
And of the keen and frosty night
Makes housewives rise az early light
To sweep the dead flies down.

The rain drips from the caves:
At every gust the foliage falls
And he who quits his shelt'ring walls
Must shuttle through the leaves
The but'nuts drop beneath the tree
The beechnut parts is burrs
The scampering squirrel fills his hole,
Untroubled by the price Of coal,
And wrapped Ia costly furs
But melancholy marked l. he

JOURNEY OF A LETTER
Practical Working Of the City Post
Office Shown.

They were evidently bride and groom en-
loving the sights of the capital on their
honeymoon They were leaning over the
brass rail of the corridor of the second
door of the Post Office Department building,
watching with evident interest through the
glass roof Of the city post office the busy
clerks below handling and distributing the
mail. ..-,
'.It has always been a wonder to me. ara
I guess it Is to most persons, what becomes
of a letter after we drop in the box In a
city post Office" she said; why they are
not all mixed up and mislaid. ,
Eyes, that Is true remarked Washing
ton friend who accompanied them. "as the
last a sender Of letter sees OF his misssve
is when he peeks through the mailing slit
and watches a mans hand gather 1t up
with other letters on the receiving table
This view through the glass roof OF the
practical workings of great city post
office" he continued, cannot be excelled IN
the United States. You observe that the
man who gathers the letters from the re-
ceiving table takes them at once to another
table close to the cnncelling machiEes.
where they are arranged with the stamps
all In the right-hand corner, and handed to
the operator at the machines. He feeds
them into these machines with akiilfui
hands and, as they pass through, they are
gathered up by other men. who take them
to the distributing tables.

few years ago that their use was net greet

Superstitions About Babies.
From the Golden Penny.

Lately some extraordinary superstitions
about babies have come to light. For in

dwarf or wien baby II anyone steps over
1t or walks round 1t. In some parts of
England people bind the infants right
hand, so that 1t may have riches when 1t
grows up. In Yorkshire a newborn babe
Is placed IN a maidens arms before being
touched by anyone else in order to insure
good luck. In South America q book, q
piece Of money and a bottle Of liquor are
placed before the infant the day 1t Is one
year old. to ascertain its bent in life.
In Scotland baby Is considered lucky II
It handles its spoon with its left hand.
and 1t will be perfectly happy and success
ful II 1t has q number of falls before its
nrst birthday anniversary. In the north
Of England. when a child Is taken from q
house for the first time, 1t Is given an egg,
some salt and small loaf OF bread. and
occasionally a small piece Of money to in
sure 1t against coming to want.
In Germany It Is considered necessary
that a child should ''go up before It goes
down in the world. so 1t Is carried upst airs
- soon az born. In case there Ia no up-
stairs. the nurse mounts q table or chair
with the infant.
