The Glass We Eat.

"How much glass do you suppose you
consume daily" a physician asked Of
one of his patients the other day, says
the Philadelphia Record, and then went
on, in response to the others interrOga-
tive look: 1T is fact that we all swal
low each day more or less glass. the
manufacturers not yet having reached
the point where their product is imper-
vious to the action Of fluids. He who
drinks beer consumes the most glass
A chemical analysis of any bottled beer
inevitably reveals some of glass con-
stituents. But the water drinker too
swallows his share. In carafe or in
a glass pitcher have you never noticed
the odd line which marks the level that
the water has had? Well, that line
shows how the water has changed the
appearance Of the glass slightly by alb
sorbing some of it's components. And
so every day. when we drink beer or
water or milk. we consume little glass.
But it does us no harm. l have yet to
hear of any disease that it has ever
caused"

Repairing q Crown.

What curious old records one comes
across sometimes in unexpected ways!
Here is one which rather calls to mind
certain fairy tales beginning Once

extraordinary proceedings quite as if

mon things in the world. 1t has refer

into ye fire, item 3s. Cd" The points
which strike one in this memorandum
are the violence of the kings temper
and the cheapness Of the mending
process.

What II Said About Ears.

You never saw a poet or painter
with large, coarse ears that stand out
from the head like extended wings.
That kind of an auricular appendage
betokens coarseness Of mind. A long.
narrow ear that lies fiat to the head is
a sign of pugnacity. Never trust man
with thin, waferike ear. He was
born a hypocrite, if not thief. A very
small ear betokens a tritling mind, lack
ing decision. Ears set very high on
the head indicate narrowness of mind.
A large. well shaped ear that does not
spread itself to the breeze is indicative
of generousness. Most Of the world
compellers had large ears and well de-
veloped noses. Although there are so
many millions Of people in the world,
no two pairs Of ears are alike. Each
has Il marked individuality.

How Lightning Kills,

The cause Of death by lightning is
the sudden absorption of the electric
current When thundercloud which
is highly charged with positive cleo
tricity hangs over any certain place,
the earth beneath it becomes abnor-
mally charged with the negative cleo
trio current, and man, animal or 9TH
er object standing or lying directly be-
meath also partakes of the last men
toned influence. If, while the man,
animal or other object is in this condi-
ton, discharge takes place from the
cloud above. the restoration of the
equilibrium will be sudden and violent,
or, in language that we can all under
stand, the negative current from the
earth will rush up to join the positive
cloud current, and in passing through
the object which separates the two
currents. if it be an animate thing,
will do so with such force as to almost
invariably produce instant death.
According to the above, which seems
a tenable hypothesis, to say the least,
a person is really struck" by the
ground current and not by the forked
fury from above at all.

Military Statutes.

OF military salutes, raising the right
hand to the head is generally believed
to have originated from the days of the
tournament. when knights filed past
the throne Of the queen of beauty, and,
by way of compliment. raised their
hands to their brows to imply that her
beauty was too dazzling for unshaded
eyes to gaze upon. The officers salute
with the sword has double meaning.
The first position. with the hilt oppo-
site the lips, is repetition of the cru
sader's action in kissing the cross hilt
of his sword in token of faith and
fealty. while lowering the point after
ward implies either submission or
friendship. meaning in either case that
it is no longer necessary to stand on
guard.

SYMMES' HOLE.
The Peculiar Theory That Was Once
Advanced by Scientist.

Tne Peculiar Theory That Was Once
Advanced by Scientist.
Probably the oldest idea ever for a
moment entertained by a scientist was
that of John Cleves Symmes concern
ing the condition of the interior of our
globe. Symmes was a jurist, a scien-
fist. or, as the French would say,
"savant," Of international reputation,
an explorer ION his own hook and an
oil round man of letters, yet one would
think that some of his ideas must have
originated with the king Of Bedlam.
He believed and lectured before learn
ed college societies in support of his
views that the earth consists Of from
five to seven hollow cOncentric spheres
and that at the poles there is a round
opening entirely through each of the
several spheres.
According to this queer theory, these
spheres are placed one inside the other,
like nest Of crockery ware, with an
open space of few hundred miles be-
tween each. Furthermore, he believed
that both the outside and the inside
of each of these bubblelike spheres are
inhabited, which would give not less
than ten and probably fourteen thea
tiers Of action" instead of the one hab-
liable surface with which we are all
acquainted to greater or lesser de-
gree. Symmes lived for many years
near Newport, Ky.

A DEED OF DEVILS.

Pine Bluff, Nov. 4.-Some malicious person or persons entered the study of Rev. Ross Moore at the First Bap- tist church last night and tore up things generally. Rev. Moore had left the keys in his desk and the par ties ransacked his papers, tearing up two or three of his sermons and scat tering his private papers over the floor, but took nothing valuable. The doors to the church, Sunday school room and study were broken open when the thief entered, The study was filtered with filth and the work of the miscreant seemed confined to this, as nothing was missing this morning but the keys to the desk. The object of he)midnight prowler could have been nothing but the meanest kind of mis9hief.

WORK OF THIEVES
BROUGHT TO LIGHT.

Ike Harris, negro who has been a trusted employe of the Wolff Gold man Mercantile Company, and ne- gro woman named Carrie Wallace, now occupy cells in the local bastile, by reason of disclosures which show an organized and systematic pilfering of the stock of the above company to have been in progress for the past six months.
 Harris stole most everything. Hardly a line of goods escaped his calls and as a depository for these stolen articles the home of Carrie Wallace, north of the Iron Mountain tracks, was used.
 Constable R. NJ. Laird raided the house and found box of meat, three barrels -nf flour, two bolts of silk, three bolts of black dress goods, three bolts of domestic, "a trunk full of ladies' hosiery, parg ols and cloaks,

ARKANSAS RICE FIELDS.

Judge P. 0. Dooley has just returned from the rice fields of Arkansas coun- ty, and he reports preparations are being made for extensive cultivation of rice. Some capitalists from New Orleans who are familiar with the cultivation of the cereal have become interested in that section of the state and are in Arkansas county at present making arrangements for the install lation of irrigation machinery, which will be used in connection with the rice growing. The rice which has been grown in that section is said to be of an excellent grade and the New Orleans capitalists will probably be the means of making this industry prominent in this state.

EXONERATES CLARKE.

"And it is almost certain from re- ports of influential men who have been in close touch with Senator Clarke that Davis' efforts exerted in his behalf will not be reciprocated in the present campaign. Judging from Col. Billy Nesrs editorials, Phillips county, Clarke's home county, vii not reciprocate the efforts either. Senator Clarke may have secured bis office through the influence of Davis, but in view of the many dirty deals with which Davis has been connected since the last campaign no decent man can censure him for throwing the unspeakable Jeff over. When the election is over Davis will find that Clarke was not the only man to leave the ranks of his followers in disgust. ? Hot Springs Sentinel Record.
