GOOD FOR ARKANSAS,
Mosaic Guide.

Mosaic Guide. @.....-...... z
The Negroes of Arkansas paid In.
to the state treasury last year for
real and personal property tax $780,
600 besides $4,000 poll tax making
total. Of $4,000 paid In the state
treasury by Negroes as taxes for the
year 1905. According to the census
bureau at Washington, D. c., the
Negroes Of, Arkansas own $30,0O0,-
600 worth of property. This vast
sum Of money In property values
does not represent his cash, bank
and, savings accounts. We fail to
see in these figures the worthless,
shiftless side Of the Negro problem.
Slowly, hut surely the Negroes Of
Arkansas are solving their own
problem with cash, bank accounts
and property. If they can accomplish
so much In 40 years who can tell in
40 more years what the harvest will
be? God and God alone can answer
this question.

TIE BOY BEFORE THE BAR.

Humor and pathos alternate In a
startling fashion In the children's court,
says the D~elineator for September.
Constant contact with hard conditions
has often developed in the young Of
tenders a stole calmness n the trails
Of tears are not so numerous as one
would expect.
Coffee ~Schlinsky" is the ~euphonious
name Of a youth who is charged with
the heinous offenSe of using a sling
In a public park. He, in fact, had
aimed at a sparrow n hit a peddler,
and naturally the latter was wroth.
The Judge explains how dangerous ii is
to throw missiles in a public place.
Again 1t is the lesson of the rights of
others, and that the bigger the crowd,
the less are the rights Of the individual.
So often is this lesson told to the
youth that the city would suppress and
How did you come to do it?" the
court finally asks.
Now Coffee" belongs to that large
class of boys who in their & search
for information devour everything
readable that comes within their reach.
Neither his father nor his mother
could read or write English, but

deficiency In hat direction.

"TAKING ARMS"

The ~worid-old custom OF taking
arms has been put under a ban, ta-t
booed as vulgar, very bad form, and
utterly de classe, and the maid and
youth who appreciate the value Of
style, now walk demurely side by side
with their arms swinging or hands
clasped, but never, never, linked with
the others.
Too bad, for there Is that nothing
encourages a bashful swain in his de-
votion like the touch Of her arm on
his Goa sleeve. and 1t also provides
occasional opportunity Of giving her
hand a surreptitious squeeze. There r.
nothing makes a man feel quite SO big
and strong and protectful. as to have q
fair maid hanging on his arm. and now
all this bliss must be forgotten. exJ
cepting, of course, In the case OF a mud
hole, a difficult crossing, or, perchance,
a runaway team. when II Is highly
proper and. indeed, necessary to take
her arm. So given one exception, IL
Is up to the resourceful youth to see
that exceptions are the rule.

LUNGS THAT ARE STARVED.

1t is a fact hat most of us are vic
Tins our own lazy respiration and de-
prive ourselves of oxygen that is so
necessary if we would keep our bodies
at the highest point Of efficiency, says
the Delineator for September.
Oxygen is absolutely necessary to
the existence of animal life. Man gets
oxygen from air breathed into his
lungs.
Besides introducing oxygen into the
blood, the lungs act as eXcretory
organs, removing undesirable elements
from the system at each expiration.
In ordinary or unconscious breathing,
only ten TO thirteen per eel OF the air
in the lungs is changed at each
breath, leaving eighty to ninety per
cent. OF the lung capacity filled with
stale air.
Forced OF conscious breathing Of
pure air v%entilates the lungs, driving
out the eighty to ninety per cent. Of
the stationary or stale air.
All bedroom windows and doors
should be wide open during sleep thus
connecting the lungs directly with the
pure air Of the outside world.

cred with a network Of railroads. and
it will keep them busy hauling the out
put Of grain. IT is certainly encourag-
ing to us settlers.
Two years ago Harry, my son, and /
as you know unloaded our car Mt Sas-
katoon aud drove 1870 miles to our
claim. Last fall we had only eighteen
miles to haul our wheat to railroad,
and, as you see, the prospects are we
will have a railroad at our very door
and a town near by. This district can
support a good town. and 1t will be well
patronized.
Harry arrived home Mt IL p. m. las;
night after going fourteen miles t.
blacksmith shop to get plowshares
beat out. The shop was full OF work
and 1t was 8 p. IN. when Harry left for
home and parties still in line to have
and good mechanics.
We are all enjoying the best Of
health, which is a great blessing. When
we left Chicago over a year ago my
youngest sons a years of age) health
was so poor that l almost despaired Of
raising him, but he is certainly a hear
ty, healthy little fellow now. The pure
fresh air has done him worlds of good.
SO. to sun up the whole: Why should
we not be glad we made the break. A
good farm, stock increasing, health and
an independent life. What more can
we expectp
Did we have to make an effortf
You can bet we did. and hustle, too.
Should you pass this way with your
shotgun this fall, we should be pleased
to let you shoot prairie chickens off our
grain stocks.

A GOOD IDEA.
From the Mothers Magazine.

In one household where there are ST.
children and two men. the prevailing
fashion of wearing colored stockings
has successfully solved the stocking
sorting problem for one ingenious
mother. one baby is kept in white
stockings, one in scarlet and one in
tan. One always wears black ribbed
hose Of a certain standard pattern. The
stockings of the biggest girl are bought
to match her gowns, and the black
stockings for the long-legged boy are
likewise distinctly his. One Of the men
sticks faithfully to one variety of black
hose with white feet, while the other
invariably wears fancy socks, not so
much because he wants TO. ne says
whimsically, but because his sister-in-
law compels him to.
But IT really Is a JOY to see that calm
mother sort the family stockings.
These says she, with a beautiful
certainty, as she lays them in little
piles, ARE Johns. These are Roberts.
These little white ones are the baby's.
The tan ones are Lucy's n the red
ones are James. These ine-ribbed ones
are Jacks and the coarser ones are
Billy's. The embroidered ones are
Mary's, and h plain black ones are
mine. You see. we each have our own
kind, so IT doesn't take me five min
utes 10 fit the right socks to the right
feet"

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot reach
the diseased portion Of the ear. There is
only one way to cure deafness. and that Is
by constitutional remedies. Deafness Is
caused by an lntiamed condition Of the mu.
cous lining OF the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube is innamed you have a rumbling
sound or imperfect hearing, and when IL Is
entirely closed, Deafness Is the result. and
unless the Inflammation can be taken out
and this tube restored TO Its normal condi.
ton, hearing will be destroyed forever;
nine cases out OF ten are caused by Ca.
tarrh, which Is nothing but an indamed con-
dition of the mucous surfaces.

n EBUTANTE.

A great many women object to Civ
ing their daughters formal debut in
to society, preferring what the young
woman herself calls creeping out"
Economy or marked objections TO a
public introduction Of a girl upon the
marriage mart" as IL is so often
called, are two reasons for this re-
fusal for this formal debut.
Economical reasons are most power
full, for today the trousseau OF a de-
butante IS scarcely less than that OF
a bride, some times even larger, as the
bride usually selects her wardrobe with
a view to her future position in life,
while the debutante Is expected to
have a gown for Zach and every oc-
casion which may arise.
In view of all this, the principal
reason for a debut is apt TO be lost.
and that is that when a girl arrives
at a certain period of life after her
education is finished, she is consid-
cred cid enough TO go about with her
mother, TO be included In formal So
cial functions and to assist her mother
in receiving guests in her own home,
In England, this point is reached when
she Is presented at court, while In
this country, the occasion varies con
s~iderably.
Formerly a girl was introduced as
soon as she left school. but this time
Is now usually postponed, whether the
girl goes to college or not. 1t is recog-
niZed that the plunge straight from
the school room into a oun Of So
cial gayety is demoraliZing and this
is now considered ill-advised,
SO that very often a girl is not
brought OUT formally for one year,
sometimes two, after she leaves school.
Her plunge is more gradual. she may
go TO a number of informal entertain
ments with her mother, and by this
means become accustomed to going
about before she is actually introduced,
but again she may devote herself to
some favorite study, or, better still,
she is sent to boarding school or SEM
& abroad for n wear.
