LIKE MOTHER USED TO MAKE.
A Vail fer Succotash and Homo.
Raised Pork.

The things that mother used to
make are still in the world. Far in
the recesses Of life you will find them.
And the name OF the magic charm is
pork. Fresh young pork-hOme-
raised pork-clean and fat and sweet.
Pork that permeates and f1avOrs, with
no indigestion in its bones and no sor-
rows in it's train Verify. there is
more poetry in pigs than HI ner ex-
tracted from their white and rosy
hides--or even Charles Lamb. Oh,
for some modern bard to sing the
glories of the vanishing home made
pork! For where he exists joy is.
Succotash-do you know it? Not the
cold hard, lumpy mixture, one part
corn and other part beans-but Sue
cotash, the real thing such as Our Puri'
tan ancestors knew and lOved-bean
favored with corn. corn melting to
bean, and all alive and palpitating to
the gentle influence of pork.
Talk not to me of stock yards or o.
herd or butter or cottolene or oleo
margarine or other just as goods. l
would go far this morning to meet a
respectable a worthy piece of home
/ raised pork. 1t is not the things that
mother used to make that are passing
away, but the things she used to make
them with, the things that they stand
for-the things that we must come
back to in spirit and in truth, and in
actuality. if we would taste again the
true favor. not the flavor of pork
Alone, but the flavor of life itself.

COMES UP renee for row To
raise in the legislature
ar among the state officials. In fact,
it is a very monotonous day in Lit
tle Rock when some new sensation
is not sprung in the legislature or
among state officials. OF course there
are legislators and state officials who
have not in anyway become involved
in any of these sensational things, but
there are enough who do get into them
to make matters quite interesting at
the state capital.
The latest breeze in the legislature
comes up over the worlds fair appro-
priation bill. While the bill was be-
ing discussed Senator Sengal offered
an amendment providing that State
Agricultural Commissioni' Bradford
shall be manager of the exhibit, re-
lieving Thomas Milan, a close friend
of Gov. Davis.
Senator Covington. who is regarded
as Gov. Davis spokesman on the floor
of the senate. opposed the amend
ment. He read letter from I.onoke
county. charging Judge Bradford with
having appropriated money to his
own use while clerk of that county,
in collecting fees not provided by law.
He said he held no i'll will against
Judge Bradford personally but mas
much as dishonesty had been charged
against the old board and against Mr..
Milan. the present manager. he had
read the letter to give both sides of
the question.
Senator Fletcher was on his feet in
an instant. and said right there he
wanted to take a hand in that matter.
He said the letter just read emanate ed
from the governors office. and in his
opinion the governor would be in bet
ter business if he would devote his
time to keeping his own skirts clean
and let the affairs of other men alone.
THE governor" said he, has got
enough to do in strengthening out his
own acts.
And thus the fun goes merrily
along. The people are paying for it,
but then they are getting some right
lively action for their money.

The Elizabethan era gave vogue to
the button and the buttonhole, two in
ventions which may fairly be regarded
as important, since they did much to
revolutionize dress. The original but
ton was wholly product of needle
work, which was soon improved by the
use of wooden mold. The brass but
ton is said to have been introduced by
Birmingham merchant in $780, 1t
took 200 years to improve on the meth
cd Of sewing the cloth upon the COW
cred button. Then an ingenious Dane
hit upon the idea of making the button
in two parts and clamping them to-
gether, with the cloth between. Buttons
are now made Of almost everything,
from seaweed and cattle hoofs to moth
er Of pearl and vegetable ivory. Ex-
cellent buttons are made from potatoes,
which, treated chemically, become as
hard as ivory.-Boston Transcript.

The Judgment of Years.

A significant bit of wisdom, to be
pondered over by the very young,
whose griefs and disappointments seem
10 tragic, was that uttered by Mrs.
Dolly Madison when she was over
eighty years old and near her death.
Her life had been fortunate and beau
dful not only because circumstances
had proved kind to her, but from the
brightness and buoyancy of her tenn
permanent.
She harbored no bitterness over past
experiences, but life had taught her the
unimportance of most trials which
doom so gigantic in approaching.
Not long before her death one of her
nieces went to her for sympathy in
some slight trouble.
"My DEAR" she said, do not trouble
about it. There is nothing in this
world really worth caring for. Yes"
she repeated, looking intently out of a
window, Il who have lived so long re-
peat to you that there is nothing in
this world below really worth caring
forv'

OdOrR Of Flowers.

1t is remarkable fact that although
there are nearly or quite 100000 flow
ering plants known the relative num-
Der having odor is wonderfully small,
not more than 10 per cent, in fact. In
connection with this it is noteworthy
that because one species of flower is
endowed with sweet odOr it does not
necessarily follow that all or nearly
all or even fair proportion of the
other species of the same family will
be as favorably endowed. An illustra-
ton of this is found in the familiar
mignonette. There are some fifty spe-
cies of this genus known, and of them
all, but one has any fragrance. Nor is
it certain that the most insignificant
looking flower has the greatest fra
GRANGE or the most gorgeously colored
likely to be without odor, thus seem
ingly disproving the theory that color
and fragrance are given flowers for
the purpose of attracting insects to
assist in cross fertilization.

The jaculator fish, the piscatorial
gunner Of the Javan lakes, uses his
mouth as squirt gun and is marks
man Of no mean ability. Go to a small
lake or pond filled with specimens Of
jaGNlators. place a stake or pole in the
water with the end projecting from one
to three feet above the surface, place
a beetle or fly on top of the pole and
await developments. Soon the water
will be swarming with finny gunners,
each anxious for shot at the tender
morsel which the experimental has
placed in full view. Presently one
comes to the surface, steadily observes
his prey and measures the distance.
Instantly he screws his mouth into the
funniest shapes imaginable. discharges
a stream Of water with precision equal
to any sharpshooter, knocks the fly or
beetle into the water, where he is in
stantly devoured by the successful
Nimrod or some of his hungry horde.
This sport may be kept up as long as
the supply of beetles and flies holds
out.

THE FIRST STOVES.

In the Eighteenth Century.

They Superseded the Roman Stuba
In the Eighteenth Century.
A heating apparatus called ''stuba"
(stove) was widely used among the
higher class Of Romans before the be-
ginning Of the Christian era. This
class Of heaters YVES fixed and immova-
BILE, besides being in several other re-
spects wholly different from the mod
ern stove. In Germany and Scandina-
hothouses during the middle ages.
They We're usually constructed of
brick, stone or tile and were Of i'm
mense size. They sometimes covered
the whole side Of a twenty or thirty
foot room and often extended out into
the room as much as ten feet, in which
case the smooth. fiat top was used for
bedstead, the heated surface impart-
ing an agreeable feeling of warmth
during those cold nights Of long ago
when such things as covers were quite
rare.
Cardinal Polignac Of France was per-
haps the first to attempt the construc.
ton of stove wholly of iron, this at
about the beginning of the eighteenth
century. The first real improvement
over the old Roman 'stuba" was
brought about by Franklin in the year
1745. One Of his efforts produced q
typical base burner, almost perfect and
. model of workmanship. Stoves were
not used in private houses to any great
extent prior to the year 1880.

RUSSIA'S ARGUS EYE.
the Keen Watch That IL Exercised
Over All Postal Matter,


Over All Postal Matter.
In the Russian post office watchful
eye Is kept on all newspapers ana mag
axnes. and any matter officially con-
sidered Objectionable is ruthlessly
'blacked out" A similar surveillance is
extended to private correspondence.
The task thus undertaken is gigantic
one, but the Russian official system has
proved itself equal to the undertaking.
In every post office of Importance
there are officials constituting the
"black cabinet" whose duty it is to
examine the letters received. According
to the system followed in the Moscow
post Office, all the letters are handed
over to the 'black cabinet" Then one
Official sorts out all those which are ad-
dressed to suspected families, another
all those addressed in suspected hand
writings, while third arranges the re-
mainder in little heaps and then draws
at random several letters from each
heap. All the letters selected in these
various ways are then opened and ex.
amined.
In this ingenious way the Russian
government strives to keep continual
check on the free intercourse of it's sub.
3ects, and it is not surprising that 'un.
derground" means Of communication
have been developed.
