Every Man May Be a King.

David Grayson writes wonderfully of books and reading in the September American Magazine. He says:
 What a convenient and delightful world is this world of books. It has vast advantages over the ordinary world of daylight, of barter and trade, of work and worry. In this world every man is his own king. Invite any one of them to talk, and if your high ness is not pleased with him, you have only to put him back in his corner and bring some jester to sharpen the laughter of your highness, or some poet to set your faintest emotions to music!
 'I have marked a certain seryiity in books. They entreat you for hear. ing; they cry out from their cases like men. in an eternal struggle for survival, for immortality.
 "0Take me- pleads this one, I am responsive to every mood. You will find in me love and hate, virtue and vice. I don't preach. I give you life as it is. You will find here adventures cunningly linked with romance and seasoned to suit the most fastidious taste. Try me.
 "Hear such talk,' cries his neigh bor. He's fiction. What he says never happened at all. He tries hard to make you believe it, but it isn't true, not a word of it. Now, I am fact. Every. thing you find in me can be depended upon
 "'Yes, responds the other but who cares, Nobody wants to read you, you're dull
 You're falset
 As their voices grow shriller with argument your highness listens with the indulgent smile of royalty when its courtiers contend for it's favor, knowing that their very life depends upon wrinkle in your august brow ''

FuIIer's Earth in Larqe Quantities.

aiSi Gd' ei' iH Ioi SC SNo'e't'SSs
 Among the valuable clay deposits in Arkansas are thousands of acres of Fullers earth, portion of which is declared to be as good as that mined in England. This earth is rich in chem ical qualities that make is valuable in refining processes. In this connec- tion it is known that there is market at present for at least 100000 cubic yards of genuine Ful!er's earth, and possibly 100000 cubic yards. The call for this particular kind of clay comes from an eastern market. At the office of the commissioner of mines and agriculture it was stated that Ar kansas possesses some deposits of Full ler's earth that is as valuable as any to be found in the entire world. Rich deposits of this clay are to be found in the vicinity of Little Rock, there being copious deposits in both Pulaski and Saline counties. From a local standpoint, Fullers earth is very val uab1e to the cotton seed oil millers, and it is stated that the mill men own or control great tracts of the lands in which the peculiar clay is found. The peculiarity, or rather pro-
 perty, of Fuller's earth is that it is a cleanser and an absorbent of grease.
