Fresh Water From the Ocean.

Manama, the principal port of the
Bahrein islands, the center of the
pearl fisheries, gets its fresh water
from the ocean. Visitors often note
boats anchored a few hundred yards
from the shore, the boatmen engaged
in drawing fresh water from springs
at the bottom Of the sea. These springs
well up strongly at a considerable
depth, and the entire water supply
of the town is obtained from them.
The fresh water is procured in two
w~ays-either in a goatskin water bag,
which a diver takes down with him
and carefully closes before bringing 1t
to the surface, or by letting down long
hollow pipes Of bamboo, weighted at
the lower end, through which the
water rises up uncontaminated to the
surface.-Argonaut

A LINGUISTIC EscAPADE.

When Henry w. LongfeIlow Shocked
intellectual Boston.
In the original impression Of Long
fellows poem of "Hiawatha' there
were found in the seventh book the
three lines following:
Straight into the river Kwasind
Plunged as IL he were an otter,
Dove as If he were a beaver.
How this offending preterft passed
the proofreader without protest is one
Of those mysteries which have w
been revealed. But the form certainly
made its appearance and car still be
fcund ~ copies
were regularly published and sold.
Boston never received such a shock
since the days when Fenimore Cooper
insisted that 1t was only IN the middle
states that the English language was
spoken in its purity. But that attack
came from al outsider. Here the Of
fender was of her own household, was,
In fact, her fayorite son.. What means
probably never be disclosed A mystic
rious retfcence has always been pre-
served in regard to this linguistic esca-
pade. The biographers of Longfeilow
appear to be silent upon the subject.
Measures of some sort must, however,
have been taken at once. "Dove' was
expunged, and the decorous "dived"
assumed its place, and the whole trans
action was so completely hushed up
that no public scandal was created.
Let him who possesses a copy of that
first impression continue to cherish 1t.
Whatever may be its worth now, the
time will come when 1t will reach the
value of the virtuous woman of Scrip
ture. and its price will be far above
rubies.-Professor Thomas r. Louns-
bury In Harper's Magazine.

THE PALACE WAITED.
A Suggestion That Changed the Plans
of a Pope.


AT a time when there was great suf-
fering among the people from lack of
food and when famine In its worst
form was threatened Pope Alexander
vi. had made arrangements for the
erection of a magnificent palace. The
best architects had been employed, and
the plans had been submitted and ac-
cepted, and an accomplished builder
had been sent for to come from Venice,
a man whose work had Won for him
renown and who was known to be a
just and upright man.
The builder had arrived, and at an
appointed time he waited upon his
holiness to receive the plans and make
his estimates. ~There is n thing yet
to be DONE" said the pope. There
has been no proper inscription or leg
end thought of to be placed over the
main entrance of the palace. 1t should
be put above the great gate You have
had experience. Do you think of an in
scription that would be appropriate 7"
"1f your holiness would pardon me
for the liberty, I might suggest n
most appropriate at this time"
you are pardoned In advance" said
the pope, smiling. snow, what shall
1t be?'
Sovereign pontiff, let 1t be thus:
Command that these stones be made
breadv"
The pope was visibly and deeply af-
fected. He paid the builder munifl-
Gently for his expenses of coming and
going, and instead Of building his pal
ace he fed the hungry ones Of his

THINGS WORTH KNOWING.

Don't throw away your scraps of vel.
vet. They can be used as cleaners for
all sorts of things.
Keep all the kitchen utensils In one
place, and a small one at that. 1t will
save time and steps.
Alcohol and whiting makes a good
silver polish and is excellent for polish
ing plate glass or mirrors.
Olive oil will remove tar stains from
dress goods. Wash afterward with
white soap aud tepid water.
A weak solution of t%urpentine pour
ed down the water pipes once a week
will drive the water bugs away.

FIT. SMITH IS VICTORIOUS
Next Annual Convention of Odd Fei' lows to be Held in That City.


 Fort Smith-This city has been chosen as the next meeting place for the Odd Fellows of Arkansas, and the contest which just closed at Hot Springs was spirited from stare to finish
 The attendance throughout the closing sessions at Hot Springs were larger than ever before noted in the History of the order in this state. Of 5000 delegates and friends wearing the colors of the order, but very few could be seen on the streets during the sessions of the Odd Fellows and the Rebekahs.
 The following Grand Lodge officers were elected:
 Louis Joseph, Texarkana, grand master; M. NJ. Stucky, Newport, dep- uty grand master; c. w. Pardee, Lit tie Rock, grand warden; John H. Paul, Newport, reelected grand sec retary; J. B. Baker, Melbourne, re- elected grand treasurer; George '. Humphres, Salem, grand representa- tive to the Sovereign Grand Lodge.
 The matter of deciding on the To- cation for a permanent temple to De erected by the Odd Fellows of Ark ansas was emphasized when the dei- egates from Little Rock and Fort Smith re-enforced the delegates who were already at work campaigning for their respective cities. The Hot Springs delegates are being aided in their campaign by a general com munity interest in the placing of the fraternal temple in that city, and the contest will be more strenuous than that which decided the next years place of meeting and the election Of officers.

 T want to say to the people of Arkansas that l greatly regret that conditions have proven ed my mak- ing longer stay in their state and ill accepting the welcome which your prominent men have offered me should 1 come here. This is only a Sunday glimpse.

 Now, 1 didn't expecl to make speech at all, but in the presence of such an alluring and inviting audi, ence 1 could not help it.
 T wish to the people of Arkadel- phia all the prosperity that is possi- ble to come, and l have no doubt from the faces into which 1 look, the faces of brightness and cOntentment and determination to do things, that my wish for your prosperity will ce;'- tainly come true.

Rice Yield in Cross County.

Wynne-The first crop of rice ever raised in Cross county has just been harvested at Hickory Ridge, fifteen miles west of Wynne, by Evans Bros. As an experiment these gentlemen planted sixty acres, and after defray- ing all the expenses of preparation of land, purchasing an engine and thresher, and digging well, they will clear between $1,500 and $2,000. The machinery still stands for other crops.
 The result of this experiment is that Cross county rice lands, of which there are 150,000 to 100000 acres, have doubled in value several times over, and are still going up. North ern money is pouring into these lands in vast sums, and one of the disappointments connected with the great enhancement of values, and the big profit to be derived, is that south ern capitalists are allowing outsiders to come in and take off the cream.
 The season of 1910 will see 2,o0O acres of rice in Cross county, and the result will be loosening up in financial circles next year. In one week at Hickory Ridge $1S,00O worth of machinery was unloaded for use in making the next crop.
 Of the crop harvested by Messrs. Evans so far, which is the older sec tion, by actual measurement it aver aged ninety-eight bushels to the acre, which is of the finest quality and worth a dollar a buShel.
