Certain of His Job.

William Bennett of Gravesend, N.

MANY SOURCES OF SALT.
That from Natural Springs Is Gener,
 ally Most Nearly Pure.

The purity of salt depends upon the source from which it is obtained and the sanitary conditions under which it is prepared for the market. The supply of common salt, the most in- dispensable of all the seasoning sub- stances both as relishing condiment and a well-nigh universal food pre- seryative, is exhaustless, yet even so there is salt and salt, says the Pic torial Review.
 Formerly salt was obtained by evap- orating ocean water, a process that left many Impurities in the residuum, to say nothing of it's exposure to all kinds of dirt in it's shipment from sea- ports. The Turks island or rock salt, which is still largely used in pork packing and in the manufacture of ice creams, comes to the United States in holds of vessels continually sub jected to dirt and foul odors. Upon it's arrival it is again handled, then packed in coarse burlap bags, permit, ting dust to sift into the salt. In this condition it reaches the consumer.
 Latterly, however, the product of salt springs has largely taken the lead in this country not only for table salt but for meat packing. The annual production from this source in the United States reaches more than 40,- 900 900 bushels, the state of New York in the vicinity of Syracuse furnishing large proportion of this important suDDly

ANIMALS THAT SHED TEARS.
Travellers Observations Have Proved
 That Weeping Is Common.

Travellers through the Syrian desert have seen horses weep from thirst, a mule has been seen to cry from the pain of an injured foot and camels, it is said, shed tears in streams, says writer in Harper's Weekly. A COW sold by it's mistress who had tended young soko ape used to cry from vexa- ton if Livingston didn't nurse it in his arms when it asked him to. Wounded apes have died crying, and apes have wept over their young slain by hunters. A chimpanzee trained to carry water jugs broke one and fell a-crying, which proved sorrow, though it wouldn't mend the jug. Rats, dis covering their young drowned, have been moved to tears. IH"giraffe which a huntsman's rife had injured began to cry when approached. Sea lions often weep over the loss of their young Gordon Cummings observed tears trickling down the face of dy- ing elephant. And even an orang- outang when deprived of it's mango was so vexed that it took to weeping. There is little doubt, therefore, that animals do cry. from grief or weep from pain or annoyance.

Safe, Sure and Speedy.

No external remedy ever yet de- vised has so fully and unquestionably met these three prime conditions as successfully as Allcock's Plasters. They are safe because they contain no deleterious drugs and are manu- factured upon scientific principles of medicine. They are sure because nothing goes into them except ingre- dients which are exactly adapted to the purposes for which a plaster is re- quired. They are speedy in their ac- tion because their medicinal qualities go right to their work of relieving pain and restoring the natural and healthy performance of the functions of muscles, nerves and skin.
 Allcock's Plasters are the original and genuine porous plasters and like most meritorious articles have been extensively initiated therefore always make sure and get the genuine.

Vice President, you are mighty dry source of news. You may have nose for news, but doubt it; at any rate, you never give up any. Now, when newspaper man is gunning for big, live news he hasn't got time to stop and exchange small talk with man, even if he be a sen. ator, who would not know the price of news if he saw it." MT.

OLD CAPT. cAcK's QUESTION.

Systems are good, but intelligence is better, and in cashiers and teners and book keepers and note clerks we want the same keen quick intelligence that characterized old Capt.

lonu Lived parisians.

Nj. Rousse, the oldest member of the Institute of France, who will be 90 years old next May, is prepared to prove by statistics that Paris is the city in which life is prolonged more surely than in any other in the world
 There are enough octogenarians in the French capital to form good sized town of their own-namely, 10,509. As the population of Paris was in 1901 a little over 2,700,000 this gives 3S9 oc- togenarians to every 100000 inhabi- tants. It also appears from the fig
 ures of the veteran statistician that Paris has 620 nonagenarians, 99 of whom are in their one hundredth year.

Cotton Reoeipts at Pine Bluff.

The cotton receipts in Pine Bluff on January 1 amounted to e6,352 bales, while on the first of last year 31,29S bales had been received, an ex- cess of 24,054 bales in favor of the present season. With these figures at hand it is estimated that the re- ceipts at Pine Bluff this season will be about S5,000 bales. Last season the total receipts amount to only 50,- 127 bales.
 The recent action of the officials of the Iron Mountain in giving assurances that cotton would continue to be shipped into Pine Bluff from points south of McGehee and other compress points, will result in much larger re- ceipts than would have occurred if the order prohibiting this had not been re- scinded.

M. Fallieres was until recently be lieved to be the only president of the French republic who had no double, but his counterpart has been found. The man who most resembles him physically is respectable merchant of the Rue Saint Honore, who plays his part with decorum and dignity. He wears exactly the same kind of blue butterfly necktie with white dots as the president, the same kind of hat and exactly so oddly cut a beard. And on his promenades he is always ac- companied by friend who could cas- fly be taken for the presidents private secretary. Dignified and with meas ured steps the enviable double walks Through the Faubourg Saint Honore and feels overjoyed at being saluted on all sides.
