And now the very laws OF nature seem
turned against his helplessncss. Despite
the 100 or o pounds Of arinor under
which he staggers in daylight, he now
feels light as a feather. He has lost

per that he finds that, like a man on the
moon, he can make fabulous jumps by
giving the slightest spring. For all
practical purposes he is powerless as a
man suspended in a swing, and his
muscles and sincws OF steel become use
less, almost like those Of an eight-year-
old child. So helpless Is he that he may
not stand erect without being swept from
his feet by the drag of current or tide
against hose and life line. II he wants
to progress he must lean forward at an
angle Of forty-hve degrees and labori-
ously use his hands for paddles or he
must crawl on his hands and knees, dig

tic human mudhsh. II he strikes a blow
with an AK II falls comparatively harm
less. Oftcnest he Is IN such pitch dark

the odor Of rubber from the hose and
the smells Of the machine oil used on

New York's Current Fancies.

New York City has one OF the most
crooked streets on the continent: Il Is
Pearl street; beginning at State street,
running easterly, crossing Broadway,
thence northeast through Hanover
square, north across Park. Row., and
northwest back to Broadway. Il is
nearly two miles long, while It's ends are
only one mile apart.
There is a remarkable increase of rail-
way traffic In New York city. Each
month this year there has been 10000
900 more fares collected than during the
corresponding month last year, and
100000 nor transfers have been
issued.
Notwithstanding the reputation Of the
Tcnderloin in New York City, Il Is i'm
possible to find a Saloon" in Il. You
do not have TO go far to find a 'hotd,"

the barrel Is turned down on a lathe,

again q lathe for refnishing. The pen
section Is made from the rough rubber
similar to the barrel and cap. while the
feed is made from a solid rod of rubber.
After all these parts are ready they
arc assembled to make the complete pen
holder. This work OF assembling re-
quires the greatest skill and care, for
all parts must fit with scientific accuracy
and the joint must be absolutely ink
tight. Thus Is brought about the mag

Arkansas.

Arkansas is a wonderful State. It looks like that all anybody has to do IS to go to Arkansas in search of something and straight way he finds it.
 "The Maker of the land finished the other states first, , declared a patriotic Arkansan. "then He gathered up the best of the scraps and made Arkansas"
 Even so it seems, for Arkansas goes forth to the world as the pos sessorsef all things. From the grain of rice to the bale of cotton {; from the juicy berry to the big red apple; from the ear of wheat to the large corncob. all these and everything in between finds con genial nourishment in the soil of that state, while beneath the soil there are treasures of all sorts.
 One fellow swears he has tin over there. Another shows the world zinc in unlimited quantities manganese crops out apace, as- phalt shows itself in spasms, iron, coal, lead and, we believe, copper, can be found, while ochre IS com. mon as earth. Silver, too, is not wanting, and is said to be in Ark ansas' sands. We know pearls in paying quantities have come from Arkansas streams and we are now told that diamonds have been found for the searching.
 Truly Arkansas is a dandy, and we are glad and happy to be To- cated so close to this state teeming with the things precious as well as useful to nankind.-Memphis Commericial Appeal.
