Hammers are represented on th,> monuments of Egypt twenty centuries before our era. They greatly resembled the hammer DOW in use, save that there Were no claws on the back for the OK traction of nails. The first hammer was undoubtedly stone held in the hand. Claw hammers were invented so.ae time during the middle ages. H. lumina ted manuscripts of the eleventh century represent carpenters with claw hammers Hammers are of all sizes, from the G2inty instruments used by the Ijeweler. which weigh less than half an ounce, to the gigantic fifty ton ham mer of shipbulding establishments, some of which weigh as much as fifty tons and have a falling force of from ninety to hundred. Every trade has its own hammer and it's own way of using it.

Report Not Filed.

This report has not yet aee9 filed, all it Was impossible to ascertain just when it might be exae2tsi !n- asmuch as these matters move slowly and must pass through H.al>& haH]s in the department, decision by the board may easily be delayed several months after the officers have made their inspection.
 The same delay through rod tape, however, operates to the advantage of Little Rock, inasmuch as there must be the same Wearisome journey of all papers through numerous offices in the removal matter.
 The attitude Of the War Department was indicated accurately in a letaan written by T. V. Allen, acting chief of engineers, to United States Senator James P. Clarke, in which he says
 Matter of Economy.
 While no steps have been taken with view to discontinuing the Little Rock office, it is probable that such action will become necessary in the near future. Congress appropriated but $270,0O0 for work in the Arkansas river, and this sum is not sufficient to warrant the maintenance of a sepa- rate office at Little Rock.
 T should regret very much being  compelled to take the step, but you will understand that in such matters I must follow course which will lead to the most economical admins tration of the works in my charge. Should the change be found necessary, it can be promised that the execution and interest in the work will not be affected thereby, and when at any fu- ture time the appropriations were materially increased the office would undoubtedly be re-established.
 The War Department officers have taken considerable interest in the matter. Col. Hanbury, who first took charge of the Little Rock office when it was established in 1881, was pres ent in the office of Col. Hodges when inuuiries were made regarding the status, and both expressed regret that the necessities appeared to indicate that he change must be made.
 However, effort may succeed in con vincing the department officers that the change need not be effected at least for some time. And it may be possible to prevent it altogether

HARD WORK MAY
 PREVENT REMOVAL
River Engineers Office lat little Rock Slated to Go to Mem. phis Unless Vigorous Action
 Is Taken at Once

Washington, May 5.-Exhaustiye inquiry at numerous offices in the war department develops the opin- ion that vigorous action will be necessary to prevent the removal from Little Rock of the United States engineers offices and their consolidation with those at Mem phis.
 Although plans have not been matured by the army officers for the removal, it appears to be the opinion there that ultimately the consolidation must take place, un- less the people of Little Rock are able, through their representatives in the senate and house, to effect a radical alteration in plans already under way
 In the river and harbor bill of 1905 s266,000 was appropriated for carrying on the government work in the Little Rock district; the bill passed at the session just ended carried an appropriation of S2TO,- GOO. For the Arkansas river prop CT, the appropriation in 1905 was 1000, the same amount having been appropriated at the last ses-

WHAT the DglTA CAN DO.

AT the Herald office can be seen a
sample Of very fine cotton, measur-
ing Ii inches. This cotton was
raised by R. L. Casey, near Hollan-
dale, Miss, and is called by him
Delta Queen" II has taken Mr..
Casey several years to develop this
high grade cotton, which is superior
to Sea Island. No doubt the Delta
Queen" will be one Of the popular
grades Of cotton in the delta in the
future. A foreign spinner at Green
vile last week classed and priced the
cotton for Mr.. Casey at IS cents per
pound. The highest price offered
by local buyers was 81 cents. This
staple was shown President s. B.
Wilson OF our cotton exchange, and
Mr.. W. L. Wells, one Of our large
buyers, and they pronounce 1t the
finest gradeo Of cotton they had seen
in the delta. Mr.. Casey has only a
limited quantity of this cotton this
year but will plant number Of acres
Of the Delta Queen" next season.

with a theory that human health Is
dependent on the stomach and with 2
medicine which be says proves this
theory, L. T. Cooper, q comparatively
young man, has built up an immense
following during the past year.
Cooper has visited most OF the lead
Ing cities OF the country, and In each
city has aroused d storm Of discussion
about his beliefs and his medicines.
Wherever he has gone, people have
called upon him by tens Of thousands,
and his preparation has sold In I'M
mense quantities.
The sale OF this medicine has now
spread over the entire country, Is
growing enormously each day. In view
of this, the following statements from
two of the great number Of followers
which he now has, are OF general In

II cannot say enough for Mr..
Cooper's remedies. They are wonder
full, for they have done everything
claimed for them In my case"
Another statement by Mr.. W. B.
Stewart, 100 w. Madison St, Chicago,
is as follows; II have had stomach
trouble for years, and anyone who is
afflicted this way knows what an awful
distressed feeling 1t causes. Many a

Asbestos porcelain, the new material of Gar
ros, European chemist, is claimed to have the
desirable properties of true porcelain and GER
tain advantages in addition. As asbestos ibers
are very thin, with diameters between 100000
and 900 of an inch, they can be crushed to
an exceedingly fine powder; this is made into
paste with water, and after repeated kneadings
me mass Is poured into molds. When the OBJ
jects thus shaped are heated in a crucible to
1T000 c., transparent product like ordinary
porcelain is obtained. If the powder has been
