A Lesson in Kindness.

cEtrSt PRICE,
Once there was man who was driving coal
wagon, which got stuck in the mud and couldn' t
move. e.,
The driver got down from his wagon and
whipped the horses, but they could not get the
wagon out of the mud. 49,
There We're men standing around but they
were afraid of the man and didn't stop him
from beating his horses.
Soon little girl came along and went up to
the man and said, please stop beating your
horses; can't you see that the wagon Is stuck
in the mud and the horses can't get it out?'
In a minute she said, "If you will dump all
that coal out, and then move your wagon, l
will get my little friends to help me pick the
coal up again for you.'
So the man did as the girl suggested and the
little girl got all her little friends together and
they picked the coal up
And the men who were standing around were
| ashamed of themselves, because they let lit
tie child show more kindness to horses than they
did. Esther Rhode,

G LAY PUZZLES
By Rene Bache


BY Rene Baohe
IT. HE reason for the Elasticity of GER
tain kinds of earths was long a mys-
terry, and only recently has it been ascer-
tanned that ball clays, the best of
which are used by sculptors because
they respond most readily to forming
and molding, owe their peculiar property
to the fact that they contain numerous
tiny particles that soften and become
sticky under the action of water. These
particles themselves hold much water
concealed in a porous structure too fine
to be discerned even with a powerful
microscope.
1t has been found that if masses of
clay which have been worked with water
to a pasty dough are allowed to remain
undisturbed in that condition for some
months, there is notable increase in
the Elasticity and binding power of the
material. The process is known as
tempering," or "ripening"; but not
until recently has it been known that the
effect described is due to a gradual
softening of the sticky particles men
toned
By soaking the clay in dilute solution
of fannie acid it's binding power and
Elasticity are much increased, and the
same effect has been produced by the
use of infusions of dried leaves and
straw "a process called Egyptianizing,
in remembrance of the method of brick
making employed under the Pharaohs);
but why this should be the case nobody
can tell
Certain clays have the power to remove
coloring matter from solutions by actually
adhering to the fine particles held in
suspension and sweeping" them away.
These are known as "fuller's earths,
and are much used as clarifying and
bleaching agents. Usually they are gray
ish-green, greasy to the touch, and if
placed on the tongue appear to melt Why
they act as they do is another of the clay
puzzles that has not been solved.
We import annually something like
one hundred and seventy thousand long
tons of clays, valued at one million
six hundred thousand dollars, which are
more suitable for certain purposes than
any now produced in this country; but
it is believed that we possess deposits
equally good, and that some day the
importation of such expensive clays
will cease.
Various clays are adapted to different
uses. There are china clays, ball clays
(Which are the extremely plastic ones),
stoneware clays, pipe-clays, fre-clays
and brick-clays. China clays burn white,
and mixed with ball clay and quartz
are used in the manufacture of porcelain
and other forms of white ware. In the
manufacture of high-grade pottery, clays
are ground fine, washed, and sifted to
reduce them to an even and uniform
texture. But in general these earths
differ SO much in their properties that
in nearly all manufactured articles of such
material at least three clays are nodded
into mixture, so that the substance
may combine Elasticity and other useful
qualities.

number and placed them on backgrounds
of different colors, and in few hours they
had completely adapted themselves to
the prevailing tint and it was impossible
to distinguish them at a short distance.
Harmless and inoffensive as is the
horned toad, it has one defense, which
| have observed, and which was sufficient
to protect it from fox terrier. No
amount of handling appeared to incense
or annoy the lizard. 1t remained quiet
in my hand and enjoyed being scratched;
but the moment my inquisitive terrier
approached and placed its nose near that
of the lizard, the latter dropped its head,
made a convulsive movement, and |
found several drops of blood on my
fingers, while the dog sneezed violently.
l assumed that the dog had bitten the
lizard, and noticed that the 1atter's eyes
were suffused with blood
Later | had several horned toads on
the ground, and | noticed that the fox
terrier approached them carefully, as
though afraid, while as soon as the little
creatures caught sight of the animal
they appeared to be alarmed and dropped
their heads, appearing as though dead.
Directly opposite one of the lizards was
a newspaper, punched up, and sinful
taneously with the dropping of the
lizards head | saw some blood spots
on the paper.
Believing that there was some connec-
ton between dog, blood spots and horned
toad, | forced the terriers nose near that
of the lizard and distinctly saw the oper-
alton.
-
from its eyes darted a reddish-colored
stream amounting to several drops, that
was SO distasteful to the dog that he dis
played great annoyance, rubbing his nose
in the sand and sneezing; and that it was
disagreeable there could be no doubt,
for the dog would now approach the
lizard only from behind.
| immediately examined the lizards
eyes and found them suffused with blood
So remarkable was the act that | could
scarcely credit it; but | rugged white
paper target or frame, placed several
of the horned toads directly in front of
it, holding them in my hands, and with
the other forced the dog to approach
them. In two or three cases, the mo-
ment the lizards perceived the dog
almost touching them they lowered their
heads, depressed the eyes violently, and
several blotches of bloody fluid, the size
of shot, struck the paper target at dis
tance of several inches. This experiment
was not always successful, some lizards
not appearing to be afraid of the dog, but
| believe the act is a defense, pure and
simple, of the lizard.
Exactly how it is accomplished it is
difficult to say, but the supposition is that
in some way the lizard convulsively
discharges the blood-colored disagreeab1e
fluid from its eyes with sufficient force
to travel several inches and strike the
enemy in the face. 1t may be that a
blood-vessel is ruptured by the contrac-
ton.
That the fluid was SO offensive to
the dog suggests that it may be in part
a secretion from some gland. However,
this explanation is merely suggestive.
Others have observed the same occur
renee. The Smithsonian Report CON
tains the account of one observer; but
no one, apparently, has solved the

apparently entirely disappeared from
view. This continued for several mo-
ments, the spider gradually diminishing
the swinging until the insect appeared
motionless, only beginning it again when
| made a movement.
So remarkable a device to convince an
enemy that it had really disappeared
had never witnessed; but years after
met the same spider, or a near relative,
high in the Sierras and observed the same
trick. Doubtless the insect, being con-
spicuous, adopts the device to render itself
invisible to certain birds which threaten it.

Herman Crabau gh Stabbed to
 Death by Wright White1ey.
From our Berryvillc correspondent.

From our Berryvillc corrspondent.
 Berryville, Ark, Oct. IT, 1906.
 This town, ordinarily quiet, was thrown into a fever of ex- citement, just at dark Saturday evening, when 1t was learned that Wright Whiteley had fatally s t a b b q Herman Crabaugh. The fight occurred in front of Freeman's store, the full par ticulars of which your corres- pondent has thus far been unable to get.
 It appears that Wbiteley, B. Snow, Ellis Waters and one or two others were drinking and taking in the town, g uying people promlscously as they passed them. Ollie Baker and Herman Crabaugh, going in opposite directions, met near them aud stopped for conversation, when Crabaugh said to them, ''who are you balling out'', to which one of the crowd replied, "Just any one". WniteIey then proceed to tell how game he was, to which Crabaugh replied that he was not afraid hims elf, where upon Whiteley call e d the deceas- ed d. n liar or used some pro- fane and vile epithet toward him. Crabaugh struck Whiteley or struck at him; they then clinched and fell to the ground, and while struggling on the groun d, Whiteley drew his knife and cut Crabaug h several times, inflicting wounds from which he died Monday evening. Crabaugh, being in- formed that he could only live short time, made statement of the facts in the case, from which we have gleaned the above. He further stated that he Il card some one in the crowd say" D ont cut him with that knife," and just at that moment felt the first cut and tried to free himself from Whiteley's grasp and run, but was unable to do so for a time. He finally got loose and ran, Whitely pursuing him, and fell on the side walk in front of Freeman's store.
 Tom Barnett, who clerks in Freeman $ store, heard some one say, that he was cutting him all to pieces, and ran to stop the fight and met Crabaugh just as he fell, and told Whiteley to stop. which he did.
 Herman Crabaugh, was1 a son ofCharley Crabaugh, was 19 years of age, and lived with his father on a farm near Grand View. He was an exemplary young man, possessed of no bad habits and was very popular, with both young and old people in the community where he lived and at this place where he was well known. He was quiet, sober and obedient and his sudden death is very painful to his parents, relatives and friends.

Rural Free Delivery.

Post office Inspector D. F.. Dolan from Washington, D. G., was here first of the week investigating proposed ex- tensions of routes one and two from Green Forest, also propos- ed route number 4 covering terri tory south and sout heast of town. The inspector was well pleased with the work of the carriers from the town and with the conduct of business at the post office. He was greatly pleased with the town and it's people.
 Route number enc is to be ex- tended at the eastern eId to ac. comodate about twenty six fam- lilies and route number two is to be extended north and northeast of Coin post offic e to accommodate twenty five families. No change is to be made in route number three which is now twenty three and one-half miles in length.
 He found the roads on routes one and two in fair condition, but there are places where work of Improvement is still needed. The raral delivery confers the greatest benefit on the farmers that tho government could be- stow. The postal business touches the daily lives of the people more than any other branch of the government and the rural delivery enhances the value of every farm it passes. On this account the farmers have shown their appreciation of it for we find that 35,000 routes are now m operation in the country.
 Arkansas has only about 300 routes whereas it ought to have at least 1000. The highways, however, in this state have been neglected and the poor condition of the roads makes the service im- practicable in many places. This town has three routes, more than any other town in this sec- tion. The government pays to these three carriers or will pay when the extensions are made SloO per month amounting to 3D. l6O per annum. All this money will be spent here as the carriers are residents of Green Forest. If the state had 1000 routes the United States government would pay in carriers wages nearly a million dollars per annum all of which would be spent in this state and would not require cent of taxes on the part of our people. It behooves the farmers to look to the condition of the roads so as to secure as much of the ser- vice as possible. Besides inn proved highways would be a benefit in many other ways to the farmers. Improved means of communication are very import ant to every community as they lessen the cost of transportation and bring the rural districts in easier and closer communication with the centers of population and the markets. Every citizen of the state should give his sup port to better highways for the expense will yield benefits far in excess of the cost.

 Dear Sir: Painters are some- times hard to convince, when it comes to the question of the right paint to use; they are inclined to think there's nothing so good as lead and oil.
 There's something better; and painters who find it out make money by the knowledge.
 Chris Kipfer, leading painter of Morton, Ills., used Devoe lead- and-and- zinc Paint exclusively; but even with his experience the covering capacity fooled him. He ordered 8 gallon for his own house and had three gallons left. Good things for painters; for themselves and their customers.
