A "Mite."

The difficulties experienced by our forefathers in trying to reckon money in very small proportions appear in the various values given to a mite" in the sixteenth and seventeenth cen tury books of commercial arithmetic. The original mite" seems to have been third of a Flemish penny. but the use of the word for the widows coin of the New Testament made its regular English meaning half a far thing. and some old people may re member applying the name to the short lived nineteenth century coins of that value. In those old arithmetic books mite" stands for various val ues not represented by actual coins, but obviously used in reckoning. A work of 1706 makes it one-twelfth of a penny, two sixteenth century books one-sixth of farthing, and in 1874 Jeake's arithmetic made it as little as one sixty-fourth of penny.-Lon- don Chronicle.

SCIENTIFIC FEEDING.
Health as . Primary Factor In intelli-
 gent Living.

gent Living.
 Health and success are so largely dependent upon balance, upon sym- metry of development. physical and mental harmony, that we should do everything possible to secure that physical poise which also means men. tai and moral poise. A large part of our ills come from one sided develop ment. caused by overstimulating some tissue cells and starving others-over feeding and underfeeding. Scientific feeding, therefore, is of vast impor- tance.
 Overeating and improper eating ar> among the curses of the world. Think of the people who put all sorts of in- compatibles into their stomachs at the same time and then use all sorts of nostrums to get rid of their bad ef tects.
 One of the most pathetic sights ;a the world is that of human being struggling hard to carry out his am bition, yet handicapping himself by his ignorance. of physical laws.
 What a pathetic figure Carlyle cut In the world-a one sided giant who might have been symmetrical power. possessor of a colossal brain largely controlled by dyspeptic stomach! He was cross and grabbed and did just the things that he did not want to do, things that he knew it would be bet ter not to do, but he was the victim of starved nerves, of exhausted brain cells largely for want of common sense feeling.-Orison Swett Marden in Suc- cess Magazine.

SPARED BY THE ENEMY.
\ Dramatic Incident In the Career of
 General de Gallifet.

0SuSTaI 0C 0dIIt'Vss
 It was on that fatal day. Sept. 1. 1870, that General, Ge Gallifet distin- 2uished himself by commanding the cavalry charges intended to clear the elevation at lily, with the view of opening passage toward Floing. treat. Tbe first charge overthrow the Eighty-third regiment of the Prussians and penetrated among the German troops, but the latter formed again rapidly after the retirement of tho French cavalry.
 General Ducrot then asked if they could renew the charge with W lat re. mained of the light cavalry ana huS sars. and then Gallifet answered iA the words that have become historic, As often as you wish, general, as long as man remains" The second charge was not so successful as tho first. Only a few men, with their gen eral at their head, succeeded in pene trating the first ranks of the enemy It is known that the king of Prussia, who was watching the battle from the top of the hill of Marfee. exclaimed with admiration, "Oh. les braves gems"
 Just at this moment an astonishing event occurred in the midst of the bat tie. AS Gallifet was returning with few survivors. their horses for the most part wounded or foundered. he passed before the Nassau regiment. The Prussian officers ordered their uaen to cease fire and even struck up some of their guns. The French sa- luted and shouted, "Vive pempereur" and the German officers acknowledged the salute, some of them applauding.- Westminster Gazette.

COL. s. M. TAYLOR
 ON THE STATE
Picked as Probable Administrator Candidate for Permanent Chalr-
 man of State Convention.

That Tfllman B. Parks ot Levi 5gllle, LaFayette county, will be the eahal- date for temporary chairman or the state Democratic convention on thc administration s',ate. is understood now m political circles. It is reported that the administration will probably DICK out Col. Sam Taylor of Pine Blulf as the candidate for permanent chair nan. Although no statements are made by either Governor Donaghey or the leaders of the administration fac +:on if is understood that the admin istration would support MT. Parks for either temporary or permanent chair nan of the convention and that he will be the selection for temporary presiding officer. Honors are about equally distributed between the two positions. As temporary chairman, MT. Parks would deliver the chalr- man's address to the convention.
 MT. Parks has represented Lafay- cite county in the lower branch ot the legislature for several sessions and was recognized as the admins tratiop whip in the lower house last wear. He took a prominent part in the management of Governor Don aghey's last campaign at the close.
 As far as is known in political cir tles the secretaries on the admins tnation slate have not been selected.
 May Take Up State Revenues.
 It is understood that an effort will be made at the state convention, which will be held in the Auditorium rink June 2 to incorporate some kind of a plank in the platform relative to the state revenue system and need of more 1ooney With which to maintain the government.
 Governor Donaghey has not said whether ne favors the plan, but it IS reported that some of the Democratic leaders will support such move in crder to meet any attack that may be made by the Republican party on the ground that the rate of taxation Ill this state is unusually high and yet there is not enough revenue to oper- ate the government.
 What will be done in the way of an- ti-liquor legislation before the con- yention is in doubt, but politicians eX- press the belief that little effort, if any. will be made to adopt state wide prohibition plank.

Heroic Treatment.

Tn Guiana if a child is slow in ls movements the parents apply an an: to the child instead of whip to make 1t move faster. This little ant bites more cruelty than mosquito, and it's bite is apt to be troublesome after. ward. AS you can imagine, this treat ment does not make the child kind to others. and the children of Guiana are said to be particularly cruel to ami, mals. The little boys in Guiana do not reckon their age by years. but by their ability to endure pain. Until he gets to the point where he can let the Hucu ant bite him without wincing he is considered merely a baby.
