THE STATE FAIR.

VIII Afford an Opportunity to Arkan-
 sas People to Visit Their Great
 Health Resort, a World Wonder, at
 Small Cost.
 That the worlds most wonderful health resort is located in Arkansas has made the state famous abroad more than anything else. It is one of the most marvellous creations of nature, and Is visited by hundreds of thousand from all sections of this country and foreign lands. Yet, com paratively few people of our own state have ever seen this God-endowed Beth esda, and know but little of its match less beauty and mysterious boiling waters which impart healing to most ills to which humanity is heir. The State Fair in October will give an opportunity to all citizens of the state to visit this wonderful place at small cost, and at the same time take in the biggest exposition show ever given in the state. All railroads will have one fare round trip In force extending few days beyond the dates of the fair.

SCOTCH sAsBATARlANisM.

Looking out of the window used to be an indictable offense on the Sab bath. In 1709 the Kirk Session of Edinburgh, "taking into considera- tion that the Lords Day is profaned by people standing in the streets, vaguing in the fields and gardens, as also by idly gazing out of the win dows, it is ordered that each session take its turn to watch the streets on Sabbath, and to visit each suspected house in each parish by elders and deacons with beadle and officers, and after sermon, when the day is long, to pass through the streets, and to re prove such as transgress and inform on such as do not refrain"

THIS WAS PERFECT HEROISM
Dr.. Franz Mueller of Vienna, Victim of Bubonic Plague, Isolated Him.
 self and Died. .r-t

Heroism has been defined as "the brilliant triumph of the soul over the flesh, that Is to say, over fear-fear of suffering, of sickness, of isolation and of death An instance of this dazzling and glorious concentration of courage is given in MT. Frederick Rowland Marvin's recent book, "The Excursions of Book Lover"
 Dr. Franz Mueller of Vienna, who fell victim to the bubonic plague when that disease was first under meteorological investigation in that city in 1897, contracted the malady from bacilli in culture tubes. When he became certain that he was infect ed he immediately locked himself in an isolated room and posted message on thersndow pane:
 'T am suffering from the plague. Please do not send a doctor to me, as in any event my end will come in four or five days"
 At once number of his asosci- ates, all of them young physicians, with much to live for and with full knowledge of the chances to which they would expose themselves, stepped forward, and not only offered their services, but in some cases begged to be sent to pr. Mueller. The patient refused to permit it and died alone within the time predicted.
 At the end he wrote farewell let ter to his parents and placed 1t against the window, so it could be copied from the outside, and then burned the original with his own hands, fearful that 1t might be pre- served and carry out the mysterious and deadly germ.

MANY KINDS OF KNIVES.

An extraordinary thing about the cutlery trade is the variety of knives made. At the Suffolk works in Sheffield, for instance, they have 10000 different patterns on the books. They make sometimes 5000 patterns to order at one time. The same thing is true of the large cut lsry works at Solingen, Germany. One firm has 5000 patterns for Ger many alone. New ones are con- stantly coming out. The Suffolk works have averaged ten new pat terms week for two years.

MANY ARE MILDLY INSANE
Never Make Trouble Unless Opposed and Seldom Meet With Anything but Consideration.

"There are more mildly insane people at large in a big city like New York than the average person imagines," said an official of a down. town safe deposit company to New York Sun man. "We have period ical visits from richly dressed elder ly lady who has the hallucination that her son is shut up in our vaults. We go through the same procedure every time. We have one of our men show her over the building and into the big vault. We treat her with every courtesy and finally convince her that she's made a mistake. If we opposed her there might be trou- ble, but by following this course she leaves us much happier than when she came in. happen to know that at a certain bank a middle-aged man comes in at regular intervals and apologizes for having overdrawn his account His family is well known at this institution and in or der to satisfy him they sometimes have to accept deposit, which of course they return to his family. They can't reason with him and to prevent a scere they let him do as he pleases. These unbalanced peo- pie never make any trouble unless they're opposed, and they seldom meet with anything but considera- tion."
