Life Term Convict Now Guard. 5 Little Rock, April 9.-Frank Walker, life term convict from Mississippi county, now a guard at the penitentiary rock crush CT, again proved himself crack shot Tuesday evening when he dropped Rafe Porter, a negro who was endeavoring to escape, after the negro had secured a lead of 15O years. Walner used a small calibre revolver, the bull let striking the negro in the back and ploughing around against his rib. Porter is not dangerously wounded and de- clares that he will make another attempt to escape as soon as he has recovered.
 Porter was sent to the state prison from Lincoln county to serve six year term for bur- glary. He pretended to be sick, and when left in the "cull pen", used crude drill to cut through six inches of timber. He had a hole of sufficient size to get his head through when he was caught. The prison rules pre- scribe a punishment for all who attempt to escape, and Porter was being led to the place of punishment when he broke from the guards and started to run. He eluded several who tried to stop him, and was running in the clear when Walker was called to. The convict guard fired twice, both bullets taking effect.

WOMEN OF MIDDLE AGES
Records Show They Had Many rrIyI-
Ieses and Liberties Not Enjoyed
Since Then.

Women in England have always
shared in the Industrial life of the ma
ton. Curiously enough statute of 1853
that ordered men to keep to one trade
left women free to practise as many
as they chose.
In few instances, at least, women
in the later middle ages discharged
duties and held offices that do not fall
to their lot nowadays. There are al
lusions to women burgesses in the rec
ords of London and other towns, and II
women married aliens they could nat
uralize them.
Women did not shrink from engag-
ing in foreign commerce. They ex-
ported goods to France, Spain and 9TH
er countries. A widow, Margery Rus
sell of Coventry. is mentioned in no
less than three different existing docu-
ments. Her business must have been
on fairly large scale, for she was
| robbed of merchandise worth $4,000
| by some men of Santander, in Spain.
In order to recoup herself for her
losses she obtained letters Of marQue
that empowered her to seize the goods
belonging to countrymen of the offend
ers.
Margery apparently took more than
was due her, for two Spanish mer-
chants lodged complaints against her.
She was ordered to restore both ships.
but one of the Spaniards declared that
she had refused to do SO, although he
had commission directed to the ex-
chequer If Dame Margery Russell
was type, women traders of the mid
die ages were well able to look after
themselves.-Mr. A. Abram, in. Eng

Middle Ages.

LITTLE KNOWN OF VAST LAND
immense Tracts in Empire of China
That Have Never Been Surveyed
or Even Explored.

A large tract of the great Chinese
empire has never been surveyed or
even explored. AS a result, all sorts
of varying estimates as to the size of
China have been given. Any estimate
can merely be an approximation rep
resenting the last guess. This last
guess is estimated to be about 4,000,-
900 square miles for China's area
about 100000 miles larger than the
total area of our United States. While
one of the eighteen provinces OF China
is several thousand square miles small
er than our own state of Texas, yet
within the borders of this Chinese
province there have been dwelling
20 times as many Chinese inhabitants
as there are Americans who dwell in
our great state of Texas.
The size of our own state of In
diana corresponds approximately to
the size of the very smallest of all
the 18 Chinese provinces. There are,
however, more than five times as
many Cinnamon dwelling within their
native province as there are Ameri-
cans living in our Hoosier state.
The ratio of five to one applies gen
orally when making population COM
parisons between any locality of China
and America Usually when the Chi
nese empire is referred to what is
meant is China proper. This latter
is composed of Is provinces. There
are in addition to this certain depend
encies of China, known as territor-
les. These are overrun with noun
tains, vast stretches of desert land,
high plateaus and varying densities of
population
Manchuria is one of these depend
encies, and its size is about three
times the size of The British islands.
dongolia is another vast territory ly-
ing to the north and measuring near
ly 100000 square miles in area. To
the south and westward lie the de-
tendencies of Tibet and of Turk
estan, locality OF severely rugged and
desolate country. Less than 100000
Celestials roam within these two ter
ritories.
If you wish to travel from Picking
in Northern China to Hongkong in
southern China, you will have sea

WEAR A KIss-ME-oUIcK CURL
Any Kind of FIufiness That May Be
Desired, is the Order Of
the Day.

And every tendril of her hair il
curled about my heart" sang the poet,
but if the tendrils today curl about
mems hearts there must be great
many hearts, for it is season of curls
temple curls, cheek curls, little bob
bing curls at the nape of the neck, and
alluring little rfnglets f1ufing out un-
der the hat brim.
First in favor are the fat stiff curls
that now adorn the cheek or the tenn
pie of the up-to-date woman. These
curls can be made with care-and
brilliantine from ones own hair, but
the hairdressers who are, of course,
up to the minute in such affairs, are
supplying these curls in any shade,
and these false ones have the advan-
tage of having sort of mucilage on
one side so they can be pasted down
like false mustache, and these are
always in one place, no matter how
hard the wind may blowi
The popularity Of the high coiffure.
sweeping away from the brow, has in
the natural sequence Of events
brought about the temple curls, for
there are but few women who have a
forehead sufficiently low and beautiful
to wear their hair in this fashion.
These temple curls are no more
than fluffy little curls that tumble
with seeming abandon down over the
eyes, softening the lines and lending
delightful girlish effect to the coif-
fure even of the older woman.
The return of the knot high on the
head is in the same way responsible
for the curls at the nape of the neck.
These are held in place by the new
wide combs which are set at an angle
at the back, breaking the line Of the
hair from the throat to the high knot.

PeriIs of Riches.

II. The Masters Exhortation, w.
1881. AS a great teacher and philos-
opher Jesus took this occasion to point
out the perils of riches. Nearly every
man is willing to run the risk We
have, however, but to look about US
to see illustration after illustration of
the truth of these words How hard
ly''-increased wealth, decreased piety.
How hardly"-men seek to tone down
this picture, but have no right SO to
do The only safety is found in the
words of verse 27, with God all things
are possible The most severe test
possible to be given to mans relig-
ious experience is for him to be pros
pered in wealth or position. The rich
young ruler is an evidence of the fact
that such goddess life is a restless
one.
Notwithstanding his possessions, his
refinement, the privileges of his posi-
ton and life so cleanly lived as to
leave nc vulgar moral scar, yet he ex-
claims: What shall do that l may
inherit eternal life?" 1t was easier
for the proverbial camel to have en-
iered the city gate (or a literal
deedle's eye as you prefer than for
this young man to yield to God the
control of his life. Every life is under
control A goddess life is self-con-
trolled life. AS men came to Jesus he
saw perfectly their individual needs;
their peculiar malady
The disciples were amazed at the
masters words and thought If a rich
man cannot be saved there is hope
for none Such is not the meaning
This is revealed in the reply to Peters
of position or of possessions for God
loves them all Those who turn the
control of their lives over to his keep
ing. those who, no matter what their
condition or position in life, follow
him, leaving all, or bringing all as the
case may be, will have their reward
here in this life and in the world to
come, eternal life.
The one thing people most dread is
poverty, so did Jesus and he saw that
the possessions of this life so occupy
the time and attention of men az to
impoverish their souls. Wealth is a
trust God looks upon every man, as
Jesus beheld this young man, endowed
with great possibilities and covets
that life for high service. Are we
more anxious to be rich than to- be
good? Is it not an evidence Of selfish.
ness to let those come after us dis.
tribute our wealth? To enjoy it. gloat
over it and to use it for yourself. then
dictate who, why, or how others may
enjoy it is selfshness
