May Improve Old Building.

Skeleton plans for the new postof fee building have been received from Washington. The plan is to add one story wings on the east and west of the old building as the supervising architect has declared the appropria tion, $150,000, for the new building is not sufficient to build new build ing of adequate size to meet the de mands of the Little Rock office. For that reason the architect contends the improvement will have to be made in the way of additions to the old building. If the present plan is finally adopted by the government the Lit t,e Rock postotfice will have a front age of 192 feet on Second street. The wings will be of the same material and will be built so additional stories may be added if required.

Corporations Dust Miners.

The Klondike proper-that is, that portion of the Yukon territory in the vicinity of Dawson-as far as the in- dividual miner is concerned, is on a rapid decline owing to the immense area of ground being acquired by dredging companies. One company alone has purchased nearly all the placer ground on the three principal creeks, namely: Bonanza. Eldorado and Hunker, and has bonded consid- erably more on Dominion and other creeks for various reasons. Where formerly hundreds of miners were working for wages or working their own ground, thus creating a demand for provisions, clothing, machinery, hardware, etc, and the transportation from Dawson to the different mining operations, now dredges are either op- erating or in course of construction Consular Reports.

 Accordingly. the professor took the child and, striding up and do-n the room. sang In his best manner. He had not finished the second verse Of his song, when ring was heard The door was opened, and there stood girl of IA, who said
 I'm one of the family that's just moved into the flat next to yours. There's a sick person with us, and he says, if it's all the same to you, would you mind letting the baby cry instead of singing to it?"-Success.

Wants the Rod Restored.

The Shanghai Times editor says: The jail has been well administered, but is fuller than it should be, due, l fear, to the abolition of the cangue and bamboo The ordinary criminal has no great objection to repeated short visits to the jail, but shrinks from a repetition of corporal punish ment. Punishment with the bamboo is in vogue throughout China, and here only has it by special edict been abolished. We deprecate the Chinese authorities making this settlement a field for experiment, and will press for the reintroduction of this salu- tary method of punishment.

State Capital Notes

Little Rock.-The capital city is in the midst of an era of civic improve ments that has never been surpass- ed in the history of the state. I'm provements are being made in all di- rections. Streets in all parts of the city are torn up preparatory to con verting them into macadamized high ways, sewers are being built and ths beautifying and charging of the city is going on rapidly. At present there are improvements either being made or contemplated in Little Rock that will involve a sum in excess of $l,- 000,000. A good deal of this work is in a state of completion, other work has just been begun and the remain der is in process of organization.
 To Mine FuIer's Earth.
 A movement is on foot among bus mess men of Little Rock to organize a company for the purpose of min ing "fullers earth" which is found in large quantities near Benton in Sa- line county, and which is a natural resource of Arkansas that, although very valuable, has received but little attention heretofore. The "sAller's earth" as it is called, is exceeding ly scarce in the United States and is found only at two other places in this country. In appearance fuller s earth is similar to any other clay. It's properties, however, are entirely different. Refined, it is used as a poutice cure for rheumatism, blood poison, felons, sprains, tonsilitis, burns bruises, gals, cuts, Liberated and irritated sores and also for bowel trouble. Refined by other processes it is used by oil companies to refine fine oil; by packing houses to refine lard; by furriers to kill insects; by soap manufactures to refine soap, and by woolen mills to remove spots, etc, in woolen goods. It is also used in certain percentages in various medi- cineS and when ground, after being refined, makes a talcum powder.
