Well, the three towns at least have the
satisfaction Of knowing that there is suf-
ficient enterprise in each community to
take advantage of the opportunity offered
and to appropriate the necessary money.

Newspapers Ahead of Dillingham;.
(Springfield Republican,

Senator Dillingham; of Vermont has his
home paper, the Montpelier Journal, sharp
ly after him for his antagonism to the
Canadian reciprocity agreement. The Yer
mont newspapers generally are showing
more progressiveness and enlightenment
than the Vermont statesmen. They are
not so well satisfied as the latter with the
slow industrial progress of the state under
existing trade policies of the nation.

Not Likely.

(Brattleboro Times.)
Talk that the Boston & Maine railroad
system may abandon the Vermont Valley
railroad line and make cut from Massa-
chusetts to White River junction by way
of the New Hampshire side of the Con-
necticut river, seems not well founded in
the light of the B. & Ms policy to grasp
everything in sight. Then, again, Brattle-
boro is too important point to be left out
of the reckoning by the Boston & Maine.

Philip Hale recalls, apropos of the rumor
that fashionable women in London are TAX
ing an interest in prize fights, that women
themselves have taken part in these en-
counters. He quotes an 18th century
chronicle: can extraordinary battle was
fought in the Spa fields by two women
against two tailors for guinea a head,
which was won by the ladies'. who beat
the tailors in a severe manner"

The king of England may bring Legal
proceedings against his subjects for any
injuries, but he cannot be sued. Black
stone gives the reason. The maxim. "The
king can do no wrong" would have nc
force if any subject could consider the
come a defendant, for reason that by
definition he cannot do anything that
would entitle anybody to bring action
against him.

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"

GREENWICH TIME IN FRANCE.

The clocks of France are to be set back nine minutes and, according to the law of the land just adopted, in the future they are to count off the hours and the days, second for sec- ond, with the clocks marking Green- wich time in England. Paris lies to the east of the meridian 9 minutes 20.9 seconds, and she has al ys held independently to her astronomical difference. By law passed in 1891 the time of Paris was made the legal hour for all of France, although the town of Brest, far to the west, has difference of 21 minutes.

 STATE FAIR
Ever Before Seen in the State. If
 You Want to Get Started With Fine Breeds Attend Fair This Fall.

Heretofore the live stock depart ment of the Arkansas State Fair has not reached high standard. The management have not been able to get such exhibits as they desired. es- pecially in the cattle show. This year the indications are that this de- partment will measure up to a high standard of excellence.

Among the Texas herds prom. fsed are the following famous breeds:
 Le Brothers, San Angelo, Here lords.
 Boog-scott Brothers, Coleman, Herefords.
 c. o. Cresswell, Abilene, Aberdeen. Angus.

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 lery 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 a week for two years.

FOR LONG LIFE AND HEALTH
Fast Is the Simple Recipe of an English Doctor.

Two meals day and an occasion- al fast was the recipe for health and long life given by Dr. J. s. Hooker in lecture before the Psycho-Thera- peutic society in London.
 ''In the two meals a day plan," he said, ''lies a great preventive of catarrbs, influenza and a host of oth- CT diseases under the form of dys- pepsia, gout and liver affections. The best time for these two meals will depend to some extent on circum- stances, but I believe if it were pos- sible for us to take our first meal about II or 12, and our second at six or seven in the evening, we should be all the better for it.
 "I myself have not had cold for years, and am actually feeling young CT rather than older as the days go on.
 ''The fasting cure is essentially a cleansing process, <and is especially good for such diseases as gout, rheu- matism, dyspepsia, internal troubles and growths, diabetes, obesity, pa- ralysis, blood disease of all kinds and skin affections.
 "But certain conditions are ad- vised. These are rest of mind; no business; healthy surroundings in which plenty of fresh air can be ob- tained; correct breathing in the open air, and after the first week, at all events for most patients, good deal of bodily rest. No long fast should be undertaken at all without medi- cal inspection first and medical watching"

The first real case of pellagra to be discovered in Little Book is under treatment at St. Vincent S Intirmary The patient is Miss Mollie Terrell, sister of former Assistant Sec. Terrell of the Ar. kansas Senate, now connected the Department of Education. Miss Terrell is 17 years of age, and while no case has ever been known to be cured, the attend, ing physicians state they have gotten to this one in time to con- quer the ravages of the disease, but they expect it to take a year or more to accomplish that end. Miss Terrell short time ago felt an eruption upon her arm, something like a blister follow ing sunburn. A physician was consulted after it had spread a bit, but informed the sufferer there was nothing serious ailing her, so the disease was permit ted a good start before sever al physicians held a conference, to which an expert was called and the disease pronounced pei lagra

 There is no sense in giving it a pill or a remedy containing an opiate nor is flushing of the bowels to be always recom- mended Rather give it a small dose of a mild, gentle laxative tonic like Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin, which, by clean ing out the bowels and strengthening the little stomach muscles, will immediately correct the trouble.

FEELING bitter
AGAINST OPIUM
TWO YEARS WILL SEE THE END
OF OPIUM USING.
Habit BECOMING OBSOLETE
Campaign In China Reveals Many
Unexpected Sides of Chinese
Character.

Pekin, July 5.--The war against
the rule Of opium, the malehcent
brown fairy" Of the orient, is reveal
ing unsuspectcd traits of Chinese
character. Patience, perseverance,
and fortltudde the best observers have
always conceded to the Chinaman,
but the genuine sentiment against
opium, allied as II is to a sense off ma
tional shame and a growing national
consciousness has developed inltia-
tive rcsourcefuhess and a command
ing show Of public opinion nor ex-
pccted by even the most optimistic.
Public opinion has long ruled
strongly in Chinese business and
banking circles but It has been sim
gularly supine in official life. Now
the vernacular press, aided and en-
couraged by E w. Thwing. an Ameri-
can representative Of the Internation-
al Reform Bureau, is publishing with
marked effect reports of the efforts,
failures and successes Of the campaign
announcement is given to those vice.
roys who are doing good work, and
those who fall short Of their duty Of
connive at vice, are called to the at
tention OF the people and the govern
ment.
The result is astonishing. Already
the use Of the drug by the younger
generation is almost unknown, and
many foreigners believe that two
years will see the end Of its use by
any but confirmed slaves Of fthe habit
At their death the last trace Of the
curse win be lifted from the land.
Formerly confirmed smokers boast
ed Of their addiction, and passed the
pipe to their friends in'company, Lit
tile lounges and "loy outs" formed
part Of the furniture Of every res
taurant and of most private houses,
The peculiar acrid odor Of roasting
opium floated from house after house
as one passed down the streets Of
Shanghai Canton and Pekin. But
that was five years ago. Today opium
smoking has become the secret vice.
Men fear the detection and denun-
citation of their friends, and they are
careful that the police shall not be-
