A WARNING TO MOTHERS.
Close Watch Should Be Kept to Pre- vent Children from Swal-
 lowing Things.

l think that mothers ought to be warned against the danger of giving small children pennies or brass buttons or anything of brass that there is a pos sibility of their swallowing. I have heard of many instances where dreadful results have followed, but will only men, tion two that have known of person. ally, writes mother, in Medical Talk for the Home.
 cousin of my own swallowed an olc- fashioned copper cent when he was a small child. It poisoned his system, so that he grew out of shape (was badly deformed), and crippled so that he could not walk without crutches. He endured a lingering death until past 30 years of age.
 The other was that of a poor. ema- ciated young man whom met abroad about D years ago, who told me that he knew that his time on earth would be but a few months, and the cause of this con- dition was the swallowing of piece of brass Ga rivet, I think, but do not re- member). He was working in brass factory. He was anxious that every one should know of the danger of swal- lowing piece of copper or brass.
 ] have known children to swallow nickels (five-cent pieces) and no bad re- suits followed, so I suppose the real danger Is in swallowing copper.

SEVERAL KITCHEN WRINKLES
Culinary Suggestions That May Be of Use to the Busy
 Housewife.

ham is greatly improved if after being boiled it is wrapped in buttered paper and baked for an hour, says the Washington Star.
 If can of milk is placed near an open vessel containing turpentine the smell of turpentine Is soon communicated to the milk. The same result occurs as regards tobacco, parffin, asefetida, cam phor and many other strong-smelling substances Milk should be kept at a distance from every volatile substance, and milk which has stood in sick cham bers should never be used.
 When taking feathers from a pillow or tick to put into new one the latter must be stitched all round except for a. space, say, ten inches. In the former rip a hole to correspond, sew the two lightly together. and by pushing and shaking the feathers will pass into the new receptacles with not a bit of down of fluff flying about.
 It is well to remember when papering small room that blue in all light shades makes room look longer. Dark eolors or papers with large patterns have the opposite effect.

The fight between the Bryant Lum, Der Company and the Fourche Lumber Company of Perry county, which threatened to result in a serious clash several weeks ago. was brought be- Gore the public again by hearing be- fore the officials of the United States land office at Little Rock. The Fourche River Lumber Company is contesting the homestead claim of J.

Would Annul Sale of Choctaw

The state of Arkansas has insti tuted suit at Little Rock to set aside both the sale of the Choc- taw and Memphis railroad to the Choctaw, Oklahoma and Gulf railroad and the more recent safe of the Choc. taw to the Chicago, Rock Island and Pacific Railway company.
 The suit was filed in the Pulas- Ri chancery court by Attorney Gen. eral George w. Murphy and United States Senator James P. Clarke, rep resenting the state. The three rail- roads are named as defendants
 The state charges that the Choctaw and Memphis Railroad company had no power in it's corporation to sell or lease it's line of railway to the Choc- taw, Oklahoma and Gulf Railroad con- pany, and the complaint alleges that the action is brought solely for the purpose of asserting and enforcing this defect of power on its part.

May Be New Constitution.

The decision of Federal Judge Trie- Der that the poll tax amendment is no part of the constitution of Arkan- sas, as detailed elsewhere, ;as no real effect on the supposed amendment. as the state court will soon be ealed upon to settle it for itself in the Lincoln county clerkship case The possibility of several of the amend. ments being declared void has caused considerable discussion of the advisa- bility of calling a constitutional con vention in order to secure an entirely new constitution. It has been sug- gested that if the amendments are knocked out. the adoption of a new constitution would be a most feasible plan. It has also been suggested as possibility that the present general assembly may decide to submit all the contested amendments to the peo- pie Tor second time. One of these two courses will be taken, it is be- lleved, if the decision of Judge Trie- Der IS accepted as disposing of the question of the validity of the amend ments as they now stand. United states Senator James P. Clarke is quoted as saying, Judge Triebers decision in the poll tax amendment case means new constitution for Arkansas. We ought to have it, by all means" Senator Clarke addei that he hoped the legislature would take steps towards calling a constitu. tional convention.
