simply an exhibition Of the most
deplOrable lack of self restraint.
When Rome grew rich and mer-
cenary and pleasure loving. when
she forgot the sanctities Of the

when she defied nature and the
sane, normal human instincts

she was smashed! | think that

Washing Butter In Winter.

In winter the water for washing and
also the brine for sailing should not be
below a temperature of 90 degrees F.
With regard to the quantity Of water
to use, sufficient water should be placed
in the churn to float thoroughly all the
butter grains contained therein. The
butter will require two or three wash
ings in order to remove most Of the
cheesy matter. which. If allowed to re-
main In the butter. causes the finished
article to become bad. When the water
is quite clear and free from milkiness
on being withdrawn from the churn
the butter should be sufficiently
washed While being careful to wash
the butter thoroughly, do not overwash
it or the color and flavor will be spoiled

HOUSEHOLD HINTS

HOUSEHOLD HINTS
Jam that has become hard and
sugary can be made almost as good
as new by placing it in the oven until
the sugar melts, then taking it out
and leaving it to cool. ..
To bake potatoes quickly boil them
in sailed water for ten minutes, then
put them in the oven. The boiling
water will heat them through and
they will cook in a short time.
To perfume handkerchiefs tie lit
tie orris root in a muslin bag and
place in the water in which the hand
kerchiefs are boiled. After ironing
they will have a delicate violet per-
fume.
After using a silver fork for fish,
especially anything strong smelling,
like behring's, the odor often clings to
the silver, even after washing. To
prevent this, directly after the fork
has been used wash it with water and
then stand it in basin of tea leaves
for a few minutes. This will remove
the taste and smell.
Steam IS an excellent thing tor re-
moving creases from gowns or coats
that have been packed away. Fix up

creased clothes on it close to the win

until the room is full of steam, leave
for an hour or two, then dry the
clothes in the open air and press on
the wrong side with warm iron,

Little Rock, Nov. 1.-Two some what unusual pardons were granted by Governor Hays Monday. Allen Splawn of Hermitage was restored to citizenship in order that he might qualify as marshal of Hermitage. He was convicted July "A, 1909, in the mayors court there on a charge of petit larceny and paid small fine He also restored the citizenship of Louis Yancey or Lee county, in order that he may be ordained as a minis ter of the gospel. He was convicted in 1903 of grand larceny and served two years in the penitentiary
 The governor pardoned Joe Tharp and Frank Alexander, Benton county boys, who are serving terms of one year each for the theft of some wire. The pardons are on condition that they never again violate the law.

HENDRIX LIBRARY GROWS
MANY NEW BOOKS AND PERI ODICALS ADDED DURING
 THE SUMMER.

HendriX's great library continues to grow. X recent interview with the Librarian discloses the fact that be- tween 750 and 1000 volumes have been placed on the shelves since last June. This splendid growth has been largely made possible by donations from the friends of the college. among these donors being Rev. Cades- man Pope, Rev. Jas. A. Anderson, Dr. A. c. Millar and Mr. D. o. Har- ton, all of whom have made substan- tial donations of valuable books.
 A number of valuable sets have been purchased by the library during the summer, four of them being wor- thy of special mention in this connec- tion: Hart's American Nation in 27 volumes, The Century Dictionary in 12 volumes, the Schoff- Herzog Enclo- pedla in F volumes, and Monroe's Clycopedia of Education in 5 volumes. During the summer 214 volumes of the Congressional Record have been received and Hendrix will no doubt soon boast a complete Congressional Record
 One work to which Professor Sim mons has given a great deal of per- sonal attention and time is the prep aration for binding of many of our valuable magazines. Some of the files run back fifteen years, and when Prof Simmons started to work on his binding he found many numbers missing or in bad condition He there upon called upon the friends of the college through the Western Method ist to supply the missing numbers Responses from old grads and former students was immediate, among those responding being E. A. Southard, J. F. Simmons, c. w. Droke, Rev. S. C. Dean, Miss Kate Ward and H. A. w. Hearn The files of The Inde- pendent, The Worlds Work and The Review of Reviews are now nearly completed and as soon as they can be bound they will be placed in the shelves for use
 From time to time The Bull Dog will print list of the new books re- ceived in the library and may at times attempt a modest review of some pop ular work. In other words it wants to find itself in line with the avowed declaration of the Librarian: We want to make the library useful, a practical workshop for all the stu dents in the college. Bulldog
