A WONDERFUL ANIMAL,
Ability. Resources and Drawbacks of
the Arkansas Razorback

\ man who had watched the affair
and claimed to know about hogs, razor
backs i'll particular, gave the following
dissertation: ARKANSAS has a greater
variety of hogs and less pork and lard
than any state in the Union. An aver
age hog in Arkansas weighs about
fourteen pounds when dressed with its
head on and about six pounds and a
half with its head off. 1t can outrun Il
greyhound, jump rail fence, climb
and rabbit tracks. 1t hasn't much tail
or bristle, but plenty of gall. 1t will
lick a wolf or Il bear in fair fight.
1t is so called razorback because it is
shaped like a sunfish. In hunting
razOrbacks they are always shot Gk
sideways, for there is not ghost OF
q show to hit them otherwise any more
than to shoot at a split shingle. 1t can
drink milk out of a quart jar on &C.
count of its long. thin head. This type
of raZorback is known as the stone hog
because its head is so heavy and its
nose so long that 1t balances up be.
hind. The owner of this type Of hogs
usually ties stone to it's tail to keep
it from overwhelming and breaking
it's neck while running. If the stone
is too heavy it will pull the skin over
its eyes, and it will so blind."-Mineral

IT'S YOUR KIDNEYS.
Don't Mistake the Cause of Your
TroubIes-A Richmond Citizen
Shows How to Cure Them.


Many people never suspect their
kidneys. If suffering from lame,
weak or aching back they think that
it is only a muscular weakness; when
urinary trouble sets in they think it
will soon correct itself. And SO it is
with all the other symptoms of kidney
disorders That is just where the
danger lies. You must cure these
troubles or they may lead to diabetes
or Bright's disease. The best remedy
to use is Doan's Kidney Pills. 1t
cures all ills which are caused by
weak or diseased kidneys. Richmond
people testify to permanent cures.
Enoch Cromer, living at 221 North
18th street, Richmond, Ind, says:
"Railroading is said to be hard on the
kidneys and the continued jar and jolt
of riding on trains got me into bad
condition. My kidneys became weak
and there was inflammation of the
bladder. Many nights there would be
three or four passages of the secre
tons before l could get to sleep and
this loss of rest made me weak, de
pressed and in no condition for work
Frequently | felt faint and dizzy sen
sations and a general feeling of lassi
tude and weakness. Mr.. Hiatt Of the
Hiatt Drug Co, advised me to try
Doan's Kidney Pills. I did so witt
good results. The backache was re
lieved and the kidney action became
regular"

WEARING APPAREL.
The Tunic, the Toga and the Leathe
Dress of the Ancients.


Ancient wearing apparel was not cut
to fit, as is our modern clothing. Hav-
ing no definite shape of its own, 1t did
not disguise the wearer's figure, and
the grace and beauty Of Greek drapery
are dependent almost entirely on the
perfect proportions Of the figure be
meath. The tunic worn by both Greeks
and Romans was little, if at all, fitted
to the wearer and when ungirded
hung in folds all round, while the toga
was little more than q sheet and was
worn in all sorts Of ways, according to
the prevailing fashion. The Jews Of
old seem to have worn breeches, but
the rest OF their clothing seems to
have been simply wrapped round them.
for 1t was difficult for them to run or
even walk fast without first 'glrding
up their loins" The clothing of the
northern races was probably always
more Of fit than that of the southern,
for they used leather, which does not
lend itself to simple draping. but our
ancestors probably wore an almost
shapeless tunic belted at the waist.
Another striking difference is found
in the gradual monopoly by women of
the ornamental element in dress. Once
masculine dress was by far the most
splendid, and woman, holding an abso-
lutely subordinate social position, had
to content herself with humber attire
AS she has won her way to freedom
and equality she has annexed not only
the beautiful, but the extravagant ele'
ments of costume and left man to con
tent himself with a condition Of color.
less utility.

THE MAHOGANY TREE.
1t Frequently Springs From the Grew
ices of Great Rocks.

1t Frequently Springs From the Grew
ices of Great Rocks.
The tree which produces that beau
tiful and we'll known wood. mahogany.
is one of the most elegant, il not the
largest, of the country in which it is
found and frequently grows in the
crevices of rocks. The appearance of
SO large vegetable production in such
a situation is extremely curious and
picturesque and is to be accounted for
from the construction of the seed,
which is like that of the thistle,
winged, or capable of being borne
along by the action of the air and in
that manner deposited in holes and
assures in the rocks, where it speedily
vegetables and springs up. AS long as
the plant remains young the place in
which it is found is sufficiently large
for its growth. but as 1t increases In
size the roots gradually but irresistibly
force asunder the walls OF their rocky
prisons and throw off large portions of
stone.
1t is not always, however, found in
these situations, the largest timber be
ing produced in some of the fiat and
marshy spots on the coast of America
Such is the Honduras mahogany, which
is much loosen in texture and of less
value than that from the mountainous
districts of Cuba and Haiti. This last
kind is known in commerce as Spanish
mahogany and is chiefly purchased fol-
the purpose of being cut into veneers

Noisy Old London,

Modern cities are not as noisy as
those Of other days. For example, in
London in the time Of King George IL.
the streets were still cobbled and the
pack horse Of Eliza bethan memory had
been replaced by heavy carts and wag-
ons. Barrels Of beer and heavy cases
were dragged about on drays Of iron
without wheels, and to add to the tu-
mutt heavy signs in immense frames
of ironwork hung out in front of shops
and houses and croaked unfortunately.
Street cries never ceased for a moment
all day. All the smaller necessaries,
such as pins, thread, string, ink, straps,
fish. milk, cakes. bread. drugs, herbs,
matches. were hawked in the streets.

Two Local Boys Made a
Cheap Trip on Motor
Cycle.
OVER ROADS OF ALL KINDS.

Travelling only in the early morning
and evening hours, so as to avoid the
heat of midday, Russell Minor and
Carl Wright, two local boys, have re-
turned from a 1,2O0 mile motor cycle
trip. The lads relate experiences not
encountered very often by youths OF
their few years. From this city they
went to Dayton. August 8, and jour-
neyed on to Springfield, Columbus and
Kenton, Ohio, thence to Chicago by
way of FIT. Wayne. They returned from
Chicago through Muncie. All kinds of
roads were traversed by the boys and
they were compelled to carry a change
of clothing. Before entering a city
where they intended to stop, they had
to leave their machines and plunge
into a stream, then don different suit
so as to appear respectfully The
gasoline consumed on the trip cost but
so cents. Only few minor repairs
had to be made to the machine and
the boys attended to these by their
own skill.

The Colossus of Rhodes probably

when every thing else Rhodesian is Ell
tirely lost from history. So with this
Statue Of Liberty. 1t gives a welcome
to every stranger who comes to Amer
lea to seek his fortune in a country
which has been the friend of the op-
pressed for centuries. 1t is hailed with
joy by every American who catches
glimpse of it as he returns from So
journ in Europe. Its meaning is more
apparent after a short absence from
America than perhaps it was before
such an experience. 1t is one of the
few things which we have which is
not commercialized.-Ch Tribune.
