MRS. ELvA BARBER EDWARDS

There are three critical stages in a
woman's life which leave their mark
in her career. The first Of these stages
is womanhood. or the change from a
care free girl to budding wornanhood,
The second is motherhood, and the
third is Change of Life.
Perils surround each of these stages,
and most of the misery that comes
to women through i'll health dates
from one or another of these i'm
portant crises.
Women should remember that Lydia
e. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound
made from native roots and herbs has
carried thousands of young girls over
the critical period of puberty, has
prepared mothers for childbirth, and
in later years carried them safely
through the change Of life more sue
cessfully than any other remedy in
the world. Thousands of testimonials
from grateful persons, two of which
are here published, substantiate this
fact beyond contradiction.

In Event of Extra Session.

In view of the possibility that an extra session of the General Assem- bly may be deemed necessary, lt might be interesting to note what the constitution says on the subject; Section 19, Article 6, of the ConStl- tuition of 1874, says: "The governor may, by proclamation on eXtraordl- nary occasions, convene the General Assembly at the seat of government or at a different place, if that snail have become since their last adjourn tnent, dangerous from an enemy or contagious disease; and he shall spe- cify in his proclamation the purpose for which they are convened; and no other business than that set torth therein shall be transacted until the same shall have been disposed or after which they may, by a vote or stwd-thirds of all the members elected to both houses, entered upon 8their journals, remain in session nor Bexceeding fifteen days"

State Capital Notes
Orders Work Stopped.

The Board of State Capitol Com missioners has decided to take no steps at present toward having the supreme court pass upon the points involved in the opinion of the attor. ney general, notwithstanding the fact that the commissioners are reported to concur in the belief that the attor- ney general has made a mistake in his construction of the law. Neither Will the Board make any request Tor special session of the legisla- ture. The idea of testing the attor- ney generals opinion in the courts was rejected by the Commission because there are no public funds available for defraying the costs of the litigation.
 In the event of the state audi tor and state treasurer refusing to honor warrants against the school and pension funds, it is thought Governor Pindall will be forced to yield to the pressure and convene the legislature In special session to remove the dis abilities which affect these funds. In tBRt event, the restrictions will also b6&removed from the capitol fund so that work may be resumed After due consideration of the matter the Board decided to instruct the contractors to discontinue construction work on the new capitol until funds became avail able fom payment.
 As a forlorn hope, the capitol com missioners in their instructions to the capitol contractors suggest that they continue with the work of building, promising that if they do, the commis- sioners will urge the legislature to pay all bills that may be rendered to the Commission, and which the com mission audits and alulows. As the contractors are now owed nearly @1O0,000, and as the cost of enclosing the building so that it would be pro tected against the weather would be t75.000 more, it is not believed that the Contractors will give the sugges- ton much consideration.

Will Be Exposed to Weather.

M In the construction of the new State capitol. 10 per cent of all bills paid the contractors has been withheld to insure the proper construction of the building according to the archltectur- al provisions About $650,00O has so far been allowed the contractors, and the amount held back, exclusive of the work done since the last meet, ing of the commissioners, and which has not been audited, will closely approximate s100,000 If the contrac- tors should undertake to enclose the building, the chief expense would be the installation of the windows, doors and skylights. All this work would of necessity, be required to be done in a substantial manner, so that 1t would not have to be done over again. md it is estimated that fully $75,0OO would be expended in this work alone With the other contracts, which they are working on, and future work, which they may secure, it is not Relieved that Caldwell & Drake would undertake to hamper themselves finan- cially by tieing up nearly S2oO,o0o Of their resources for a term of pos sibly two years. This would mean that unless a special session of the legislature was called, the building must remain open and exposed to the weather for nearly two years.

Arkansas Deaf-Mute Institute.

Supt. Arthur G. Mashburn, of the Arkansas Deaf Mute Institute, located at Little Rock, is making a great effort to get the name and address of the parent or guardian of every deaf child in the State between the ages of 6 and 21, who has not attended the State school at Little the sending in of such names and addresses by anybody who is inter- ested in afflicted humanity and has such information. This is free school for all the deaf children of the State of sound mind. There are 23 regular literary teachers and 9 instructors of trades and professions. The buildings and grounds are worth 100000 and 299 pupils attended the school last year. There are a physician, an aurist, a dentist and two trained nurses to care for the pupils in case they are sick. These are paid regular salaries just like the teachers Four women are with the girls to look after them during the time they are not in the school, and one sits up in their bedroom all night to care for them. A man is constantly with the large boys. to see that they behave themselves and a woman is always with the little boys to care for them and give them mothers love. The next session of the school will open October 9. Besides teaching them the common school branches they are taught the following trades To the girls-Dress- making, tailoring, cooking, house keeping, fancy-needle work, basket weaving, typewriting, bookkeeping and art. To the boys-Printing, painting, cabinet-making, turning, car pentry, shoe making, harness making, tailoring, paper-hanging, plastering kalsomining, concreting, art type writing and bookkeeping. Everything is free to the children, except cloth ing and travelling expenses, and even these are free to all whose parents are too poor to pay it themselves. There is a colored department of the school about 300 yards away from the whites in which deaf negro children are taught.

An Inherited Tendency,

A Cleveland society woman gave a party to nine friends of her young son, aged six. To add to the pleasure of the occasion she had the ices frozen in the form of hen and ten chickens. Each child was allowed to select his chicken as it was served. Finally she came to the son of prominent poli- tician.
 (Which chicky will you have, Der. tie?" she asked.
 'If you please, Mrs. H., l think I'll take the mamma hen," was the polite reply.-Lippincott'

Pike County Field Valuable.

It is reported that the syndicate which owns the Pike county diamond fields has refused an offer of S1,O0O' O00 for their holdings. State Mineral ogist Whitlock says the Arkansas field is three times as large as the Kim berly mines in South Africa. From external observations and formation of the land, the Arkansas field is believed to be worth, at a conservative calcu- lation, s100 900, 0,000,
