LITTLE ROCK
 NEWS BUDGET
Items Gathered at the State Capital By the Picayune's
 Representative

Little Rock, July 9. Suffering worse than the farm yard, is the fate of Little Rock chickens at present, and has been the same for several weeks. Dozens of chicken hawks float over the city at all hours of the day, and oc- casionally swoop down to carry off a prize yellow leg. The hawks grow fat at the vocation of their life, as it is against the law to use firearms in the city, and no one dares take a shot at them for fear of arrest.

| John Lane, he of the Sunday school

| he is to be the first mayor. In the

played in the WaIlach matter is sup

There is not so much activity in the

has aspiration but if he runs it will
have to be independent of his partys
official sanction, at least according to
the reports given out from the inner
circle in which sits Fred Turriil and
Harry Juen. The same circle init
mates that Iaukea can not expect to

MUSkRAT BUILDERS.
The House In the Meadow and How
1t Is Constructed.

The House In the Meadow and How
1t Is Constructed.
I have always been told that musk
rat houses mean a severe winter. In
stead Of sign of cold weather, the
muskrat house means simply that one
or more muskrats have chosen to live
in the low meadow or at the shallow
head of the pond. where there is no
chance to burrow underground and
have bedroom that cannot be flooded
by the high tides Of winter
These same muskrats, along the steep
banks of a river, would tunnel into the
earth and there dig a bedroom out of
reach of the highest food. They do not
always succeed, however, as they are
often washed out Of their winter beds
by spring freshets.
The house in the meadow Is usually
built over a tall, stout tussock, whose
grassy top forms the bed. This Is dom
ed over, making a large room big
enough for one or for half a dozen, &C
cording to the number of muskrats
sharing the work. At least two open
ings or dives lead from the bed into
open water at the foot Of the tussock
And this water never freezes. When
ice forms outside, the warmth of the
muskrats' bodies Is sufficient to keep
the doors free, through which the
jewellers shoot at instant alarm, for
these passages lead into winding bur
rows and waterways that run far out
through the rich. rooty meadow.-Coun-
try Life In America.

Hindoo Moon Lore,

According to the Hndoos. lunar
eclipse is the contact between the
moon and another planet called Rahoo,
but the masses believe that owing to
the will of God, Rahoo, or the serpent
like planet, catches hold of the moon
by It's hideous mouth and releases it
after short time. At first contact
the Hindoos battle in the sea and anx,
iously await the release. After the
contact they take another bath. Dur
ing the interval they are not allowed
even to drink Il cup OF water. as their
belief is that all things in the world
get polluted during the contact.-Singa-

SCANDAL IS ASSURED NEW GOLDEN RULE
Will Come Through Expose of
Purchase of PoStoffiCe
Site in Pittsburg.
"RAKE-0FF" is ALLEGED.

Pittsburg, Pa, June 4.-There is
every indication that a scandal will
result from the sale to the government
of the Sixteenth street site for the
new postoffice. which was so vigor-
Ously opposed by the chamber of COM
merce and almost the combined bust
mes interests of Pittsburg, but which
was accepted by Leslie NJ. Shaw. the
secretary of the treasury in spite of
the protests.
Suit has been entered by Wise &
Miner, firm of attorneys against
LennOX &Armstrong, real estate brok-
ers, for their share of the commission,
and if this case comes to trial the en-
tire scandal will. it is said be eX
posed.
The Sixteenth street site is in no
manner suitable for the postoffice, but
Mr.. Shaw could not be convinced of
this by the business men of the city
After much delay he accepted the cite
for 100000. Part of this frontage is
on Pennsylvania avenue, and for this
the government paid $4,000 a foot
During the past week property on the
opposite side of the street which would
be even more valuable. because of the
postoffice being located so close was
sold for $3.50 front foot. which is
considered by real estate men as a
fair price for it.
Desperate efforts are being made to
have the slit of Wise & Miner with
drawn. There is said to be in exist
ence a list of names of persons who
were to receive a "rake-off'' from the
sale of this property. The list starts
off with the name of a most promi-
nent man, and opposite his name ase
the figures $4,000.
This is the largest sum named, and
the list goes on down until it reaches
$50, which was to be paid to a press
agent for booming the site. Real es-
tate men declare that the govern
ment was trimmed to the tune of
100000 on the transaction.

Parlian ent.

The name parliament" is derived
from the French word "parler," to
speak. The word was originally writ
ten ''parlement," as in French, and,
although the spelling has gradually
changed, the pronunciation remains the
same. The earliest mention of the
word "parliament'' in the English stat
utes Is in the preamble to the statute
Of Westminster in 1872. For the origin
of the Institution itself we must 60
back to Anglo-Saxon times. when 1t
