The Word "ROw."

Row is one of the many words which are rising to responsibility with advancing age. Todd's edition of John- sons dictionary QS27) denounced it as "a very low expression.' Since it ap- pears to have been occasionally written ''roue' about century ago some have wished to find it's origin in the French "roue." Todd identifies it with the older "rouse," a drunken bout, big drinking glass or big drink, in which sense that word several times occurs in Shakespeare. Hamlet observes that "the king doth wake tonight and takes his rouse" "Row" is supposed to be false singular formed from "rouse," mistaken for plural, as "pea' for ''pease," sherry from 'sherris," 'cherry" from "cheris." But it seems simpler to explain row as short for an excellent word for noise.

Sugar h:ls been k'9or-n since the dawn of history but not ill all countries The Chinese appear to have delighted their palates with sugar for more than 5000 years, and it was known in India ear Her than in Europe. being made from juicy reed or cane. One of Alexan- der the Greats generals carried sugar to Greece in the year 325 B. C.. as Sir Walter Raleigh some 2.OO0 years later carried tobacco from Virginia to Eng land. But even so late as 1JO A. D. sugar was still rarity in Greece. The famous physician Galen used it as a remedy for certain maladies. Recent experiments show that sugar has re- markable sustaining power when eaten by those undergoing great fatigue. The Invention of the first process for retin- ing sugar is ascribed to the Arabs, and Venetian merchant is said to have purchased the secret from them and introduced the process in Sicily. The refining of sugar was first practiced in England about 1859.

Book Collecting Madness.

The insensate craving of book col lectors is illustrated in the case of Raw linson, an English bibliomaniac who would buy book though he had twen- ty copies of it. He lived and died among bundles and piles of books GOV cred with dust and cobwebs. The Spec tator mentions two collectors whose coyetousness increased with their col lection.

Evolution Of the Needle.

Sewing needles of bone, stone, glass and bronze antedate all historic rec ords, but those of iron, brass and steel are comparatively modern. Bone and glass needles have been found ill Egyl' tian tombs that are known to be over 4OOO years old. and similar domestic instruments of bronze and copper have been found in the mounds and burial caves of Europe and America which are believed to be much older than tho e found with the Nile mummics. The needle first appeared in it's present form in European countries in the year 40, but the art of making them was kept secret for upward of 1o0 years after the date last given. In the year 1GSo they were first made ill the American colonies, but at what point is a mooted question among the Eisto- rians.

SLIDE TO DEATH
An Adventure of Nine Explorers in
 Antarctic Region.

Tn Captain Robert r. Scott's Voyage of the Discovery" the story is told of nine men of the exploring party in the antarctic who returned from d sledge expedition in binding snowstorm. The narrative says:
 An unusually violent sQuall prevent ed us from seeing even one another. 1 immediately ordered a chain to be form ed at right angles ana extending across our track, each man keeping in touch with the rest, with the idea of inter- cepting Hare. who was missing. when he came on We shouted and blew whistles. and while this was going on Evans stepped back on patch of bare. smooth ice and shot out of sight inme diately. Thinking the slope to be one of the short ones so common i'll the folds of the hills, Barne sat down and deliberately started to slide i'll Evans track. In a moment or two the slope

ever into the gloom beyond. The six others eventually moved on until they too, found themselves on an awkward slope. Their leader suddenly saw the precipice beneath his feet and far below, through the wreathing snow, the sea.
 Another step woull have taken him over the edge. He sprang back with a cry of warning, and those behind him, hearing it, dug their heels instinctve- ly into the surface, and with one ex ception all succeeded ill stopping What followed Was over ir an instant. Be fore his horror str. .ken companions had time to think poor Nince unable to check himself with his soft fur boots, had shot from among them, flashed past t;le leader and disappeared.' Vince Was never seen again, but Hare. the first missing man, staggered back to the ship two days after the others, re- menbering nothing between struggling to a patch of rock for shelter and walk ing thirty-six hours later covered with snow.

He whipped out his clasp knife and dug it into the lee but the blade snapped off short and failed to check his wild career Tn Il flash the ice changed to snow, which grew softer. until in smother of flying particles his rapid flight was arrested, and he stood up to find Evans within d few feet of him."
 A third man joined them In similar fashion: Realizing the impossibility of ascending again by the way they had come, they started to descend, but within four paces of the place at which they had been brought to rest they found that the slope ended suddenly in steep pr"eipice, beyond which they could see nothing but the clouds of whirling snow Even as they reeolled from this new danger and dlmly real iZed the merciful patch of soft snow which had saved them from 1t a yelp. ing dog flew past them, clawing madly at the ley slope. and disappeared for

by the roller passing over them. The water has made the sub-soi spongy. and unless this is kept dry no work can be done with any prospect of success.
 By the terms of the ordinance un- der which paving operations were be- gun, it was understood that the water mains must be at least thirty inches under the ground. The paving will consume at least eighteen inches, and this will leave the mains only about foot below the lowest stratum of paving. When the connections are made for the houses and stores along the street this will bring the top of the connection only five inches from the surface and they will be broken off every time the roller goes over them. No tamping can be done which will do away with the difficulty
 A discussion arose between Attor- ney Austin and City Engineer Ha-- Ter on the question of the acceptance cf the job by the city, and when this was settled F. G. Bridges, president of the Pine Bluff Light and Water company, explained their posit on in the matter. He said that they could not put them on the tree bank, for reasons stated above and that if the connections were made on the side O. the mains instead of the top they would be broken off even more readi- ly. City Attorney Coleman said that it would cost the company only about S1S0 to lower the mains to a depth sufficient to insure them against be- ing broken by the rollers, and that it would have cost them S1 900 to have put them inside the curb, so that they should not be unwilling to do the former. A general discussion fol- lowed, in which representatives of the railroad, the light and water company, and members of the city council took part The matter was finally settled by the council order
 ing the light and water company to lower their mains, and also to remove the poles from the street.
 City Attorney Coleman was in-
 stTucted to draw up resolutions to cover the emergency, and did so the first one providing that the Pine Bluff Light and Water company be instruct
 ed to lower the'r water mains to a depth of al least thirty inches be- low the sub-grade, which would effec- tually prevent the breaking-off of any connections by the passing of the steam-roller. This was unanimously passed by the council. The second resolution ordered the company to re- move their poles from Fourth avenue, without specifying where they should put them, and this was also unani- mously passed by the aldermen. The removal is to begin at once, as soon k as it is possible for the company to begin operations. and if the work is not begun within a reasonable length ,, of time it will be done by the c.ty and the cost of the work deducted from the next payment made to the com- rany. The council then adjourned.

 Just as she was on the point of firing she was so startled by the appearance of another bear behind the first that her shot failed to bring down bruin. The animal. however, ran off into the woods and was afterward found wound ed. To the terror of Miss Williams, a third bear followed the second, and when still another came out into the open Mrs. Woodward cried for her companion to use her gun. Two of the animals were full grown; the fourth was quite small
 "Shoot, Ethel; shootw screamed Mrs. Woodward.
 The first shot of the wolf huntress, or, rather, the first after her wild shot at bruin No. 1, went squarely through the head of the second bear. Mrs. Woodwards gun was q seven shot, and while Miss Williams was firing wildly she fired two shots into the largest of the two remaining bears. These shots were unfortunate. however. and the big animal was rushing across the open toward them and was not fifty feet away when a shot from Miss Williams ended the career of bruin No 3.
 Meanwhile the smaller bear seeming ly had been too a.,tonished to move, but now began to beat a ha.s;y retreat.
