SHIPS THAT KICK.
Seamen Don't Like Them and Dodqe
Them if They Can.

seamen Don't Like Them and Dodge
Them if They Can.
When sailors join a ship almost the
first question asked by each one as he
takes the wheel for the first time is,
'Does she kick?"
Kicking, as it is called by the sea-
men, is due to the action of the water
under the lee Of the rudder when the
vessels stern, which has for mo-
ment been borne skyward on the crest
Of a wave, falls back again into the
trough with such terrific force as to
make her tremble fore and aft and
perhaps wrench the wheel from the
grasp of the steersman.
Sometimes it happens that he is
taken unawares and, being unable to
let so in time, is flung right over the
wheel to the other side Of the deck,
often receiving serious injuries. Some
times a man will be pitched right
overheard into the sea, and a recent
case is known of man who received
blow under the chin from one of the
spokes and died few days later from
the effects.
In some of the worst types Of kick
ers kicking straps are used regularly
in nearly all weathers, and many sail
ors refuse to go to sea in ships which
are known to be confirmed kickers.-

CHEAP PERFUMES.
Made From Musk Supplied by Many
- Varieties Of Civet Cats.


Varieties Of civet Cats.
Most women who indulge freely in
the use of cheap perfumes do not
know of what they are compounded.
The principal ingredient Of low priced
perfumes is musk, animal musk, which
is obtained from several creatures.
The muskrat is probably the best
known Of these, and q few decades
ago the wives and sweethearts of men
who set traps around bitches and
ponds in the countryside carried proud
~ the bags Of musk obtained from this
source. AS an article of commerce the
musk supplied by several varieties of
civet cats is probably the best known
today. The odor is strong and sweet.
The strength is the particularly no.
tceable feature and is the reason
why it is the foundation Of the per-
fumes. In the small mammal house
at the geological gardens are two sizes
Of civets, and any one with an inves-
tigat1ng turn of mind may stand near
the cages and catch the musky odor.
The musk is used in the cheap per-
fumes, as only little is needed to give
most lasting odor to an ounce of
perfumery, but the musk itself is not
cheap, and it is one of the duties Of
the attendant Of the mammal house to
collect it. It is then sold through reg
ular channels and is one of the sources
Of revenue to the zoo, although a small
one.-Philadelphia Record.

Many Generations.

The case Of six generations living is

take whose daughters daughter cri-

Sociologist Says immigration Will Pro-
duce Race of Brunettes.
1--WE are becoming a nation Of bru-
nettes. The blends are becoming fewer,
and the American type a few years
hence will be dark in color"
This is the conclusion Professor
Rockwell D. Hunt, head of the depart
ment of sociology at the University Of
Southern California, has drawn from
a study of immigration statistics. He
says:
1.-THE assimilation Of the American
race with immigrants from Slavic and
Latin countries will bring about a
new type. Immigrants who now have
the bulk of representation are the ones
that have large families. Russians
and Italians bring more children than
do Germans or English. Then there
are Greeks, Austrians and Hungari-
ans, all from the darker races, coming
here in great numbers"

Moorehead's Annual Roofing
Sale November 25th and
9th, Saturday and Mon

For the above two days I will
offer my felt roofing at the same
prices at which they were form
erly sold, and upon the same
terms.

square complete.
One Ply Weatherproof 80 cents
per square complete.
Two Ply Weatherproof $1.O9
per square complete.
Three Ply Weatherproof $1.39
per square complete.
The above roofings are as good
as any high priced roofing that
has been offered to the trade.
A recent investigation of the
manufacture of roofing has
shown that the cost of manu-
featuring felt roofings does not
vary more than ten to fifteen
cents a square and this is not
because there is any great diff
ference in the quality Of the
materials used, but it is due to
the actual cost of manufacture
" such as labor, freight on raw ma.
g terial, fuel, location of plant, etc
! Therefore if you pay more fol
roofing than it is offered to yor
IN this sale you are paying fol
an extra bill for cost of advertis
: ing and actual cost of production
: and not extra quality. This
= roofing is especially adapted moi
only for flat roofs but can be
used in many ways about the

DEATH SENTENCE

For the first time in the his- tory of Arkansas a boy 15 years of age has been found guilty of murder in the first degree, the penalty for which is death by hanging.
 Such was the verdict returned last night at 10 o'clock in the 1st Division of the Circuit Court in the case of Earl Gilchrist, t h slayer of Will Longley, another negro.
 Gilchrist was present when the verdict was rendered, but was unmoved by the announce ment, being apparently oblivious of the consequence of the finding l of the twelve men.
 James H. Harrod, attorney for the negro boy, asked that the jury be boiled. As the name of each juror was called by Judge Lea, the answer was that his verdict was murder in the first degree .and each answered in the affirmative that he under stood that the penalty is death.
