The Land of Fire and ice.

A new geological map Of Iceland by
DR.. Thoroddsen, who has spent many
years on the work, gives much fresh
information about one of the world s
most wonderful island which few
visitors ever see. An ample of the
straageEe ees Of Iceland is furnished
by y. tclca . Kat!a. MS is buried
under immense snow fields, but from
time to time it's fires bust through
the glitteriag blanket, and then such
floors are poured from the melting ice
that a great stretcn of country be-
tween the volcano and the sea is in
undated, and huge masses of ice car
ried out into the ocean. 1t is unsafe
even to cross the territory lying be-
tween Katla and the sea, so suddenly
come the floods.

hooks and the Unbookish.

The mystery of books is great to
the unbookish. A rising young novel
ist. who had been asked the other day
with touching simplicity: Might you
be the author Of the Canterbury
Tales sir?''
The simplicity Of the half bookish
can also be entertained in rather
grievous way. c. n. >. of The

reference below a picture to the re-

Democratic Queen.

A visit paid by the king and queen
if Niue to a British warship some
time ago is thus described: Their
majesties were punctual and the boat
was got away with Mr.. Heads son,
well-educated ha]fcaste, as interpre-
ter. All went well until she neared
the ship, and then the queen, after a
whispered consultation with her con-
sort, began to take off her boots. This
operation being still in progress long
after the boat was alongside the gang
way, faces began to peer curiously
over the side, but the blue jacket sta
toned at the foot Of the ladder pre-
served an admirable composure, and,
when her majesty mad padded up the
steps in her stockings, he gravely fol-
lowed the procession, carrying the
royal boots as if they were insignia
of office, to the suppressed merriment
Of ais fellows, who were drawn up to
receive the royal party.

to add my testimony to the value OF
Doans Kidney Pills. Judging from
the too frequent action of the kidney
secretions and their condition, l came
to the. conclusion my kidneys were at
fault, and induced by reading the ad
vertisements about Doan's Kidney
Pills, l went to my druggists, got a
box and commenced the treatment.
| am satisfied not only from the bene-
fit l received. but from what l have
heard others say, that Doan's Kidney
Pills are a remedy on which the pub
lican can rely
Just such emphatic Endorsement
can be had right here in Pine Bluff.

Death Prerequisite to English Greatness

Call no man great until he is dead
is the amended phrase which has been
adopted by modern Erglishmen. AS
soon as one Of our celebrities has
passed away we all combine to estab-
lish him on the highest pinnacle of
fame, notwithstanding that in his life
time most have had but a poor opin-
ion OF him and of his work. Even in
recent times Walter Scott, Macaulay,
Thackeray, Dickens and Tennyson
were glorifed when still alive, but cir
cumstances are altered; death alone
now can give the stamp of greatness.
1t is said that one of the most distin-
guished of English writers keeps re-
peating to himself: "Posterity is COM
ing-posterity is coming!" finding
consolation in the prospect for the
neglect Of his contemporaries.

WIN FiaAiI AANLG~i A~N'
Philadelphia Dec. 8. ~ The police
last night divulged the identity of a
prisoner who has been IN
der surveillance at a hospital since
Tuesday night of last week, when
he was arrested by Policeman Carroll
after a desperate encounter lasting
over an hour. The man gave his name

suspiciously on the front piazza of a
West Philadelphia residence and at
tempted to arrest him. During the en-
counter the burglar secured possession
of CAROLS revolver and shot the 20
liceman in the foot. Both men are
powerful, and for more than an hour
they struggled to gain the mastery.
Carroll finally bore his opponent to the
ground just as assistance arrived.
Then he tainted from loss OF blood and
exhaustion. Dickinson's body was a
mass Of bruises, and his head and face
were terribly lacerated as a result Of
the beating administered by Carroll
Both men have since been in a hospi
tai.
