TEARS, LIKE ETHER
 BENUMB THE BRAIN

Paris, June 2o.-In La Revue Professor Waynbaum, M. D.. publishes some queer facts regarding the nature and purpose or tears, coming to the astonishing conclu- sion that tears act upon the human or ganism Hike chloroform, ether or alco- hol."
 When a human being gives way to sorrow" says pr. Waynbaum, "the blood pressure in the brain decreases. The tear helps in this process which benumbs the brain, for the time being, causing pas siveness of the soul almost approaching indifference.
 Tears are blood, changing color by their passage through the lachrymal glands One can drown his sorrow in tears as one can benumb his senses by the use of alcohol or drugs When per son cries tho facial muscles contract and the appearance of the face changes, which action facilitates the white blood letting. driving the blood particles into the lachrymal gland, from which they issue in the shape of tears.
 Children, whose nervous system is par ticuIarly tender, derive great benefit from cryingv occasionally. The act of crying relieves their brain. The same may be said with respect to women."
 Thep rofessor likewise explains why laughter sometimes produces tears, but the explanation is too technical for repro duction.

Family of Ten Is Unhurt.

Related reports from the several sections in western Arkansas which were touched by the two tornadoes of last Monday afternoon make neees- sary revision and reduction of the death list as first reported
 Owing 10 the prostration of the tele- phone and telegraph wires the gath ering of authentic information has been difficult and the difficulty was in- creased by the fact that the great est loss of life was reportel into the towns by people who had heard only first reports.
 Richard Hill, who was reported killed near Mulberry, was in the woods when the tornado swept by, but was not hurt The report that he was killed grew out of the fact that he was in the track of the storm and did not return home for many hours after the storm passed.
 The death list. unless augmented by the death of some of the injured or later reports from interior points, is as follows:
 Mrs. John Rosson and two ehil- dren, Watalula. Franklin county.
 Porter Matthews, IT years old, near Mena
 Three-months-old babe of Mir. and Mrs. J. A Wood, near Mena.

Negro Awarded $525 for Whipping.

Charley Napier, a negro laborer, who claims his residence is in Ten nessee, obtained a verdict Saturday in the federal court before a jury against Jules Austin and Nose Smith for $525. He sued for $1O,00O on the allegation that he was shot at, hit across the back with singletree. placed in the calaboose at Newport and given a flashing with a leather strap.
 When the suit went to trial the de- fendants were Jules Austin, Carl Jackson, Whitley Jackson, John B. Hol- loway, Willis Cain and Nose Smith. The jury was instructed by Judge Trieber that the plaintiff had failed to connect John B. Holloway and Will lis Cain with the transaction alleged and the jury also determined for it. self that Carl Jackson and Whitley Jackson had not been connected.
 The defense in part was that Napier had been arrested for an assault and battery. that he had been confined in the ealaboose and that he had agreed to take a whipping rather than go to tril on the offense alleged.

Last Days of An Old School.

With the raging of the Scott street school, one of the oldest eduea ional buildings of the city will disappear al ter having done good service for more than a third of century. The Build ings and grounds Committee recently decided to have the building torn down and the material used in erect ing a warehouse for school supplies on the premises owned by the School Board at Eighth and Louisiana streets, in the rear of the present building.
 The raging of the old building will not commence until the first Monday ef the Christmas holidays and it will be torn down by the time the public schools open after New Years. The reason for choosing this time is that the high school is close to the Scott Street School and it was feared some student might be struck by the falling brick and timber.
