A "Touchinop Story,

The young lady who had sat for a
crayon portrait was not altogether
pleased with the result. "It looks like
me, Of course she said, inspecting it
doubtfully, ''and yet l think there are
some things about it that ought to be
changed"
She suggested that the eyes should
have rather more of an upward look,
that the right hand should be little
less prominent, that the hair should
be made more wavy and that certain
changes ought to be made in the drap-
cry.
"That would require a great deal Of
retouching," said the artist, "and I
should have to charge you about $40
additional"
."Oh, dear" she exclaimed with a
pout. 81 shall have to give it up.

A Case In Point.

OF Sergeant Arabin, who had not a
clear method of speech, it is related
that he said to one criminal, Prisoner
at the bar, if ever there was clearer
case than this of man rebbing his
master, this case is that case" AT
another time he said, prisoner at the
several indictments, and it is in my
power to subject you to transportation
for a period very considerably beyond
the term of your natural life, but the
court in its mercy will not go so far
as it lawfully might go, and the sem
tence is that you be transported for
two periods of seven years each.'-

BEER FOR BREAKFAST.
The Awful Morning Meal That Waa
Once In Vogue In England.

The breakfast appetite varies strange
ly. Some persons are content with a
cup of coffee and piece of toast 9th
ers make it the most determined meal
of the day. Once 1t was formidable
indeed. In Sir John Hawkins His
tory of Music" Is quoted sixteenth
century manuscript belonging to the
house of Northumberland which gives
the breakfast arrangements of the Per-
cy family both for Lent and for flesh
days, and, oh, how some of us have
fallen away in trencher work! Here is
the simple Northumberland scheme:
breakfast for my lord and lady dur
ing Lent: First, a loaf of bread in
trenchers, two manchets "a manchet
was small loaf of white bread), a
quart of beer quart of wine, two
pieces of salt fish, six baconn'd her.
ring, four white herring or a dish of
sprats. Breakfast for my Lord Percy
and Master Thomas Percy: Item, half
a loaf of household bread manchet,
bottle of beer, dish of butter and a
piece of salt fish, dish of sprats or
three white herring Breakfast for the
nursery for my Lady Margaret and
Master Ingeram Percy: Item, man
chet, a quart of beer (his for the
nursery, dish of butter, piece Of
salt fish, dish of sprats or three white
herring"
At ordinary times my lord and lady
Jared thus: First, a loaf of bread in
trenchers, two manchets, quart of
beer, a quart of wine, half chine of
mutton or else chine of beef boiled"
Lord Percy and Master Thomas Percy
disposed of "half a loaf of household
bread, manchet, one bottle of beer, a
checking or else three mutton bones
boiled,' while to the thirsty nursery
went "a manchet, one quart of beer
and three mutton bones boiled. Corn.

THE MAIDSTONE.
Valuable Because Absorbent-A Clay
Pipe Makes a Good One.

Valuable Because Absorbent-A Clay
Pipe Makes a Good One.
Physicians are often asked whether
there really is any virtue in what are
called madstones. One of them de-
clares that these stones are of value,
but that they would be of more value
If their limitations were understood.
There is no particular variety of
stone or substance which may be des-
ignated exclusively as the maidstone"
he says. 81 have seen many Of them,
30 called, and no two were of exactly
the same composition, geologically con-
sidered.
"Madstones act on the same principle
that blotting paper does when alb
sorbing ink, and there is nothing that
makes a better one than baked pipe
clay. A new clay pipe, procurable for
a cent at nearly any store where to-
bacco is sold, cannot be eXcelled by
any maidstone, no matter how great
its reputation.
"The action can be clearly demon
strated by placing a common dry red
brick in contact with the margin of
puddle of water and noticing what
capillary attraction will accomplish.
Therefore to be efficient the only ne
cessity is for the stone to be porous
and have strong adhesive and absorb
ent qualities. Nothing mysterious
about it.
81 have seen several that appear to

hillary, and were found in the bladder,
kidney or liver of some animal-those
taken from the deer supposed to be the
best.
"When a person is bitten by a reptile
or dog supposed, to be mad and the
porous stone applied to the wound the
b1otting paper action begins, and the
blood, saliva from the mouth of the
animal and whatever poison these
fluids contain will naturally by capil-
larry attraction Be absorbed by and
into the substance applied, no matter
what name you may give 1t.
"The saying that if a stone sticks
the wound is poisonous and if it does
not take hold there is no venom pres.

and dry it will adhere when moisture
is within reach till it becomes saturat-
ed.
For instance, new red brick will
absorb one pint of water. After the
venom has been taken into the circu-
lation the maidstone is worthless, but
as the victim is usually filled with
whisky or alcohol at the same time the
stone is being used the spirits may
counterfeit the effect of the poison.
Il know of stone which has wide
reputation and makes a good living for
the family owning it. They never. let
it so out of their sight, and when the
victim cannot be taken to the stone
one member of the family can be hired
to take the stone to the victim. In adj
dition to travelling expenses, they
charge S. for the application and 50
extra for each hour that the stone
sticks.
This stone is busy large part Of
the time. Not long since the stone held
to a mans leg for over 100 hours, yet
the man died. His life could have
been saved if dependence had not been
placed entirely in the stone."-Medical

A Minute Fish.

The most diminutive vertebrate
creature in the world is said to be a
small fish caught in mountain lake
in the Luzon region of the Philippines.
The largest of the species js less than
an inch long, but its smallness may he
best gagged by the fact that it takes
about 5000 of them to make pound.
Although so tiny, however, the fish,
which is named sinarapan, is an i'm
portant article of diet among the Phil
ippine natives. Obviously it is too
small for any net and is caught in
coarse muslin sheets. The fish are pre-
pared by being mixed with pepper and
other spices and then dried in the sun.
They are a great native delicacy.

THIEVES FROM CHOICE.
Criminals, as Rule, Steal Because
They Don't Want to Work.


The theorists say that men are driv-
en- to crime by poverty and want, but
the theorists are not always right.
There are no doubt some cases of men
stealing or swindling to get bread, but
they are very few. Not one criminal
in a hundred in this country pliers,
plays burglar or highwayman because
he's hungry, but because he Is GRIM
inal from choice and would rather
steal than work. He knows perfectly
well that nobody ever. made fortune
or even decent living by picking
pockets or breaking into houses or rob
bling people on the streets. He knows,
too, that it is only question of time
when the penitentiary gates will open
for him, and yet he chooses the uncer-
tainties of criminal life and idleness
in preference to steady work at good
wages. Good times with the rest of
the world signify nothing to the Grim
likely to have a little more money in
his pockets. No matter how prosper
Gus the rest of the world may be, its
criminals are always hard up. When
a sneak thief makes a haul or foot
pad gets hold of somebody's roll the
first idea is to spend it. 1t goes at
cards, in dives, groggeries, anywhere.
to anybody that wants it, and, no mat
ter how large the haul, in little
while it is all gone and another job
must be done to get more. General

Electricity For Farm Purposes.

An option has been secured by
j. Alexis Shriver on the Hollings-
worth mill site, near Wheel,
Hartford county, who proposes to
install an electrical plant. The
scheme is to generate electricity for
farm purposes to take the place
of hand labor, whereby farmer
by touching button can operate a
milking machine, pump water, run
sawmill, cut feed and do many
things on his farm himself that now
requires the employment of several
hands. The scheme, if carried out,
would revolutionize farm work.

MT. George A. Izard died Saturday morning, and the remains were buried in the Forrest City cemetery Sunday afternoon at o'clock, Rev. J. E. New man, of the Baptist church, officiating.
 Uncle George, as he was familiarly called, was perhaps, the oldest resi- dent in St. Francis county, having been born on the site of the old Bap- tist church, near the cemetery, sew enty-seven years ago the 25th of Sep tember. For the past six years he has been in an almost helpless condi- tion, being blind and crippled from a fall. Notwithstanding his condition Uncle George was a pleasent com- panion, and his recollections of ye olden time were quite interesting He was man strong in his convic- tions, and nothing could turn him if he thought that he was right, and he died as he had lived.
 He leaves a brother, Col. V. B. Izard, and sister, Mrs. Reuben Dye, who are the last of the old Izard family. Peace to his ashes.
