plants for the manufacture of our
raw' products into the finished ar

Of course there are exceptions,
but the ma jority of the Arkansas
farmers are as prosperous, happy,
and contented as those of any state
in the Union. Hut they have j
many obstacles to overcome, not
tin' least of which is to outlive the
false impression which the outside
world may gather of their condi
tion from reading the driveling |
rot thrown olf from the cankerous
brain of such stupid creatures as I
the editor of the Pine Bluff Graph
ic. But the Arkansas farmer is
made of the stuff that does not
hesitate at obstacles, and having
become accustomed to the putrid j
odor of the false sneers cast at him
by men who thus disgrace the \
newspaper profession, he ignores;
such punitive slurs and proceeds;
with his business of producing the!

right and The Journal is glad to

FISH SHED THEIR SCALES.
According to Scientific Writer Who
Quotes Fisherman, Finny Crea
tures Change Coats.
Do fishes shed their scales? is
] askc<| by I>r. Marett Tims in the
| course of a paper on the develop-!
! inent of tisli scales, published in
! the latest issue of the Quarterly |
I Journal of Microscopical Science, j
The author leads up to this ques
tion by referring to the theory
that the age of fishes can be de
termined by counting the number
of lines of growth in their scales.
This theory he is disinclined to i
support, one of his reasons beingj
that scales first develop at differ-1
ont periods in different parts of a
fish's body, so that if any compar -
ison be made of their lines of,
growth the scales should be taken
from the same iegion.
The author states that experi
enced fishermen on the east coast
of Scotland are fully convinced
that such "moulting" does take
place, more especially among fish
es that have recently spawned. It
is said to be esjtecially noticeable |
in the herring; and the author re
marks that, in view of the ease!
with which the scales of that fish
become detached, such a replace-]
ment would, prima facie- seem to!
be highly probable.
Even if such shedding and re
placement does take place it
might lx* urged that it need not
necessarily invalidate tin* valueof
the rings of growl h as an age test,!
as the scales might bo reproduced!
with the same number of growth
lines as those replaced. This Dr.
Tims is disposed to regard as an
improbable supposition; but it
may be pointed out that so far as
we are aware the scales on any re
gion of an individual fish’s body al
ways have the same number of
rings, thus suggesting that if they
are shed they are renewed in the
j exact likness •»f their predeces
sors.

FEAR FOR POTS AND LINEN
Duchess Forever Measuring to Pie
| vent Petty Theft of House
hold Articles.
There is one middle aged but
still beautiful duel ess whose
many whimsicalities pass all the
bounds of reason. < hie of her idio
syncrasies is a firmly grounded
belief that the world is in league
to steal certain valueless and un
important possessions, says the
New York Sun.
At the dueal palace in Scot land
are many priceless heirlooms,
much magnificent plate, etc., to all
of which she is seemingly indiffer
ent, leaving the care of it to hire
lings. Not so the house linen,
traveling rugs and kitchen uten
sils in her various residences.
Often, indeed, before her guests
have left their rooms at the con
elusion of a visit she is upstairs
stripping the beds, and with a tape
measure and memorandum, goes
: carefully over every sheet, towel,
slip and cover in the place.
It is of little avail that she as
i siircs the disconcerted visitors
that her suspicions of filching bits
oi linen are directed against their
maids and valets.
i
5>he is equally queer about rugs
ati< 1 wraps. The duke buys heaps j
of warm carriage blankets, furs, j
etc., against tin* phrewd air of the
north, but no matter how gener
oils his purchases there is never
anythin}; but a ragged Highland
plaid on hand. When In* goes
for a drive till the ’thick things
have been carefully packed in
chests, never to see the light.
But most eccentric of all is the
duchess’ passion for measuring
her saucepans. Kveryday shede
; scends to the kitchen domain and
with her own hand records the di
ameter of every vessel in the
cook’s keeping.
She tears a big pot may be re
placed by a smaller size, and keeps
an uproar in the servants’ quar
ters l>y this strange fancy and also
by compelling her domoHties to
live almost exehmively on tish.
Otherwise the duehess is a bril
liant, dignified and delightful
woman, and it never seems to oe
eur to her to restrain these nneorn
fortable and diaeoneerting prac
tiers. _
AT THE WHITE HOUSE.
Formerly the Public Could Look Directly
Into the Kitchen.
The ground-glass window-panes of
the white house kitelu n are a recent
innovation. One morning, says the
Woman’s Home Companion, Senator
llanna came upstairs to Mr. McKin
ley's oilieo, and during his stay there
said: “Well, Mr. President, you are
going to have an Irish stew for lunch
to-day.”
Of course the chief executive was
surprised that the senator should be
so well informed, and asked him how
he knew.
‘‘Oh, my authority is first-hand,”
he replied. “As I came in 1 saw a
party of sightseers very much inter
ested in watching what was going oa
down in the kitchen, so I strolled
over to see what it was that enter
tained them, and found that it was
the cook making an Irish stew. She
did it. well; I’ve no doubt but that
it will he good,” he added, jocosely.
This gave Mr. McKinley a new
idea, and he’askod Col. Bingham if
he did not think that the kitchen
might he made a little more secluded.
The ground-gla^s panes were the re
sult. _
PRAYERS MKt NOT FAVORED
Kansas Gets Cloud of Pest Prayed Out
of Nebraska and Sends Message
to Neighbor Executive.
“If flu* inosipiito theory regard
ing yellow fever is correct,’’ said
M;ij. Charles It. Heck to the Hous
ton Host, “we ought by all means
to send to the governor of Louisi
ana a message similar to tin* one
the governor of Kansas sent the
governor of Nebraska.
"I remember once when the
grasshopper scourge hit the west
ern country. Nebraska had been
severely afflicted. It finally got
so bad that tin* governor of the
state issued a proclamation set
ting apart, a certain day for till the
people of the commonwealth to
meet tit the public places in jhe
various cities, towns and hamlets
to pray the Creator to deliver
them from tin* curse. The mes
sage was worded in the usual ter
minology and the people met as
appointed.
“It happened about that time
some one in Kansas called the at
tention of tin* governor of that
commonwealth to a cloud of grass
hoppers being blown into the state
from the north. You know
they came in perfect clouds. Well,
as soon as the governor saw that
cloud he immediately wired the
Nebraska governor as follows:
“ ‘Stop praying your infernal
grasshoppers into Kansas.’ ”
