There will be a new depart ment at the blind school at Lit tie Rock in the coming term in the section given over to broom making. The blind boys will make whisk brooms of the style manufactured in the Indiana school.

TOTAL ABSTINENCE.

We as white ribboners know that alcohol acts upon the nerves as the soft pedal works upon the wires of the piano. It deadens them so thao they think cold is not cold; heat is not heat, trouble is not trouble. But the deaden- ing effect is a delusion which binds men with a pitiless chain; one day they have the drink, gambling, and tobacco habits; the next day it has them.
 Francis Willard called the hu- man brain with it's fair, delicate. mystical filaments. Gods night blooming cereus. its white ra- dience forever enclosed and shut away from sight within the close crypt of the skull. but exhaling it's fragrance in poetry, and re- vealing it's deep, pure heart in science. philosophy, religion. y
 Our W.C.T.U. woman would keep that sacred blossom ever pure. fair and fragrant with Gods truth and heavens immor- tality, hence the organization of Loyal Temperance Legions, the temperance work in the Sunday schools and the Scientific Tenn perance Instruction in the pub- lie schools
 The man who says, 1 can carry more liquor than any other drinker in town and yet keep a level head", gives by that claim and inventory of already badly damaged goods. Since alcohol is permanently a brain poison, men of most brain power grow dizzy at first, and hottentots stand steady longest, while gen. jus shrivels under drink like a snow wreath in the sun. As civilization becomes complex the brain acquires more convolutions to the square inch and it's deli cate tissues are torn more ruth lessly by the course intruder, al- cohol. The more complex is the civilation, the more vital will it be that those who handle its fine mechanism shall have all their keenly traired powers keyed up to concert pitch. the brain must think with Tightening speed; the hand must be as steadfast as steel, the pulse must beat strong yet true. if a great commercial nation is to hold it's own with the forces now on the field.

Corporations of Arkansas, now free from danger of having their charters revoked for failure to pay their franchise tax, are now in as great danger of having the charters revoked for failure to send in a statement to the Sec retary of State, that they are not members of a trust or combine of any character. The corpora tions of other states which do business in Arkansas are also re- quired to file statements of this kind. Tomorrow is the last day for the filing of these statements and only about two thirds of the corporations have complied with the law in this particular.
