Tails Grated on Fishes.

Among the many interesting arts In
which the Japanese excel is that OF
the making of fish-tails Almost every
one has seen the bush-tailed goldfish,
with Its four. five, and sometimes
more, long. wavy tails, but It is not
generally known that most OF them
are not its own.
When the little goldfish are very,
very young their flesh is as clear as
glass, so that one can see every bone
in their tiny bodies. At this time
the few that are born with two or
more tails are put by themselves, and
then a Queerlooking old Jap. with q
great magnifytng glass fastened In
front of his eyes. and wee, sharp tools
handy, reaches down under the wa
ter and cuts on the tails Of the plain
ittls fish, and then three or four Of
these tails are Joined on theSback-
bone where the one was cut on and
fastened there with tiny bandages un-
I'll they grow fast. ~
The japanese, who are very skill
tul In queer things of this kind. grow
the finest goldfish in the world, and 1t
is q very good business, for very fine
fish Of the kind often bring as much
as $500 to $500, and one sold not long
ago for $1,000.

Peaches Falling Off.

There's something wrong with the
peach trees. Now tn at they are
about one-third the size when they
begin to ripen they are falling off in
some sections and the crop will be
much smaller than was anticipated.
The trees in Trimble county are af-
flicted in the same way. as will be
seen from the following. from the
Farmers Home Journal of the oath:
Thirty days ago Trimbls county
had fine prospects for full crop Of
peaches and other fruit. while today
reports from all sections of the coun-
~ are to the Effect that the peaches
have fslien of the trees u such an
extent that the crop is considered a
CONF leie failure. Some farmers are
plowlng up their peach orchard 80 as
to utilize the ground for other crops.

New Paris Revolver suffOcates.

New Paris Revolver Suffocates.
The "suffocating revolver" has been
used by the Paris police for the first
time, and it's effectiveness has been
amply demonstrated. The weapon was
invented as a sequel to the motor ban
dit sieges, when 1t was realized that
there was need for some method OF
overcoming the resistance of danger
Gus criminals, Without so much risk
to the police.
The weapon was used in the Passey
quarter, where a young creole named
WHALE Pothin, belonging to a wealthy
family, had suddenly become mad.
Armed with a revolver and several
boxes of cartridges he had barricaded
himself in his room at a fiat, and for
several hours had fired at any one
who had ventured to approach. A
policeman narrowly escaped being
shot.
Steel bucklers were then fitted to a
couple of detectives. who crept up to
a small window and fired the contents
OF their "suffocating revolvers." The
room was filled with acrid smoke,
The Pothin, half suffocated, made a
dash to the window, where he was
captured by the detectives.

Great Tonic to Relax a Few Minutes

Years ago discovered II was a spir-

to have intervals Of rest throughout

overtired from pressure of work that
falls to the lot OF every mother; my
nerves sympathized as every good
neighbor should. and my spirits ran
at low ebb But that ambitious brain
not always as wise a neighbor as
my nerves-said: Go onl Go on!
There are a dozen things to be done

brain until my whole body and nerves
became slaves to an imperious mas

much, under the whiplash of injus-
tice and It wisely changed It's meth

You win do more and you will love
your work. Your children will catch

wonderful tonic! 1t never fails to give
me new spiritual uplift. My loved

 The suggestion for the joint meet ing was made by Alderman Sorrells, who said that the city was in bad plight and that the council ought to try and get the banks to remedy it's financial troubles. Maybe we can convince them that they ought to help us," said Mir. Sorrells. Alder man Veil suggested a special meet ing at 7:30 p. m. Wednesday night, but it was the general opinion of the aldermen that few bankers would turn out to meet with them at night.
 .Therell come time, said Alderman sorells, "when the bankers will meet with the city officials. as sure as you're born"
 Mayor Bloom said that he had ex- hausted every effort to get the banks to take scrip or to aid the city financially at this time.
 "I think you will be wasting all evening, if you meet with them," said Alderman Fred Fox, eff you get the

 The matter was finally disposed of when, motion of Alderman Veil providing for a committee, composed of the mayor and the aldermen, to meet the bankers at the Chamber Of Commerce rooms Wednesday after noon, carried. The motion also di- rected the city clerk to notify the bankers to be present at tie confer ence.

 Hot Springs is coming flushed with many victories to their credit. Not an opponent has succeeded in crossing their goal line this year, and with this record to be maintained and with Pine Bluff High, who has not lost a game, the contest here Saturday will he one of much interest. It. will decide which of these two schools will be in :. the race for the championship.
 Every preparation is being made to give the visitors an ideal entertain ment. The new athletic field will. be ready for the game; this is the assur- ance from Mayor Bloom and his work CTS, who are very busy grading the field for the boys.
 Prof. Allen and Coach Bassett are anxious to get on the new field, and when Saturday comes expect to see the field nearing completion. Out of town officials have been secured. The field will be roped and a squad of of ficials will be in attendance. Tickets are for sale and the students will be coming to see you. The school ath- letic association wishes to make this big day and are preparing to handle a large crowd. The game will begin early enough to allow the visitors to catch the afternoon train for Little Rock.
 Yesterdays practice was one of the most strenuous the squad has had this season and all the week the coach in- tends to work hard for the game. Most of the time was taken up with signal practice. Several new plays were added to the selection and the huskies went to work with an in- creased determination to be in the best possible condition for the game. The line is green and not near as heavy as last years team, but they are learn ing more all the time and are getting faster every day. The team knows that in Hot Springs they have dreaded foe and every precaution will be made to give them a stiff battle. The team is getting down to real busi- ness and the rest of the week will be devoted to getting them in the best running order, and to do this the coach has determined to work overtime.

In the city court this morning Con- stantino Constantine, 1855 Calhoun ave- nue, was arraigned charged with a heinous crime against his stepdaugh- ter, Virginia Tasso, IA years old. The evidence was of a most sensational ed in the columns of the Farmer. Rep resented by his attorney, Abraham GeduIdig, the prisoner made a most forcible defense, but was found guilty of probable cause and remanded un- der bonds of $5,000 for trial at the December term of the Superior Court Charles Varnuccio, p years old, 1924 East Main street. Salvatore Rousstie 25, East Main street, and James Roche, trespassing upon railroad property, were given short term sentences in the county Jail.

SURLY SCHOOL BOYS PENITENCE PROVED
 TO BE SHORT LIVED

Another disturbance in the public schools was recorded today when Sal vatore Magri, IA years old, 179 Ster- ling street, and Edward Dennis, of like age and residing on the same street, were brought to police headquarters from the Sterling school. where they are charged with having resisted the authority of a woman teacher and to have partially demolished several desks. They were very humble and repentant when brought before the imposing physique of Captain Arnold and begged for mercy.
 So well chastised by their experience did they appear to be that they were sent back to school, promising to re- form. Later reports indicated that they were sul1en and recalcitrant and it is likely they will again be brought to headquarters and given a taste of bread and water in cell until they can explain their actions to the pre- siding judge of the city court.
