NO PARDONS ISSUED
 BY GOVERNOR HAYS
Says Applications for PardOns are Not so Urgent as Attorneys
 Would Have Them.

Little Rock, Aug. 1S.-Another week has passed and Geo. w. Hays has granted no pardons. When he came into office it was openly charged that he was under obligations to so many leading politicians in the various counties that he would be forced to hand out pardons by the dozens. He has been solicited, and by some of the strongest politicians of the state, but has not yielded.
 ''I have gotten by pretty lucky so far" says Gov. Hays, "and have shown the petitioners the pardons they ask for are not so urgent as they would have me believe"
 The intricate pardon blank put in use by Acting Governor Futrell, will be abandoned by Gov. Hays, as there are too many questions that cannot be answered by the applicant, nor | could they be filled in by attorneys. The old style pardon application blank is simple enough to be made out by anyone, and Gov. Hays will rely upon it in the future.

BURNED BY COLD.
Iiquid Air Will Produce a Worse
 Wound Than Intense Heat.


 Whoever has applied moisteneC 6nger to piece of frosty metal iI winter well remembers the painful ex. perience thereby gained of the fac, that cold as well as heat can blister the skin
 During some experiments ill the pro duction of excessively low tempera, lures Pictet. the French investigator burned himself with cold several times and the effects were so remarkable that he deemed them worthy of description to body of scientific men,
 It appears that there are two kinds or degrees of cold burn. In the case of the less severe burns the skin at first turns red, but becomes blue the next day. The unframed spot swells and period varying from a nonth tG six weeks elapses before the wound heals
 When the contact with the cold sub stance !S longer and more complete a burn of the second degree is produced A malignant and stubborn wound is formed. and the process of healing is very slow.
 drop of liquid air falling on Pic tets hand produced a cold burn which did not completely heal in six months while sc0rch from heat accidentally inflicted on the same hand and nearly at the same time was healed in ten Ol twelve days.-Harper's Weekly.

PEARL RECORDS
 BROKEN FRIDAY
Jewels Valued at $2,500 Found Near POcahOntas That Day-Farmers' Boys and Clerks Are Flock.
 ing to Pearling Grounds.

Pocahontas, Aug 1S.-The pearling industry has been one of the foremost money producers this sec. tion has had for the past ten years, and a great army of people have followed the pursuit, including wom- en, children and men. large forct of men follow digging musels for livelihood and make good wages sell ing the shells, which are taken up yb buyers operating boats for the purpose of hauling the shells.
 Black river. which has an estab- lished name for producing high-grade pearls in great numbers, has broken all records at this point the past two days. Friday five valuable pearls were found ill this part of the pearling district. ltwas AZ grain, pink ball, and was bought for $1,OOO. This pearl is said to be of the perfect type, and will ultimately bring fabulous price in the higher market. Other pearls found during the day were of the smaller type, valued at about $500 to $500.
 The valuable pearl and some of the smaller ones were found by parties wading and grabbing mussels with the hands in the shallow waters near the shore. The aggregate value of the pearls found Friday is estimated at $2,500. One of the local banks paid out more than $1,4O0 for pearls found and sold during this day.
 With this seasons pearling buyers have paid the pearlers along Black river, in the neighbOrhOod of $1O, ,O0O besides the money paid by the button factories for the shells. With each valuable find the interest in the in- dustry increases. The pearls of the past two days were found by parties who did not follow the pearling busi- ness, but were spending idle time tC see what they might find.
 Now store clerks and farmer boys are taking to the river and small chill dren venture along the shore hoping that they may get one of the much sought gems. The reward does not come to every one. Some men fol low the business for years and never find anything of much value, anC when some one makes a valuable fine near where the regular pearlers have worked for long time he feels thai fate is against him and says he is go ing to quit the business. But there is something about the industry which keeps the pearler expecting every time he opens a mussel and the dream o1 how he may become rich any moment keeps him continually at it. Some few have their expectations realized but very small per cent in comparison to the number who follow the business.
