Mr Hawkins is only one out of many
thousands that have been cured by the
wonderful penetrating remedy Paracamph
This new remedy is a scientific prepara
tion which when applied, opens the pores
of the skin, allowing the soothing, cool
ing oils to penetrate to seat of the ailment,
removing the soreness and congestion,
drawing out the fever and inflammation
by inducing sweating. It sweats out the
pain and aches, and this is Nature s plan.
Don’t ruin your stomach with strong
internal medicines for Rheumatism, Neu
ralgia, Sore Joints, etc. We guarantee
Paracamph to relieve and cure you if used
as directed. If it fails your druggist will
refund your money. If your druggist don t
handle Paracamph ask him to get for you.
If he won’t do this send direct to us.
But don’t take any substitute because there
is nothing just as good. Paracamph is sold
only in 25 cent, 50 cent, and $1.00 bottles.
The 50 cent size contains three times as
much as the 25 cent size; the$1.00 bottles
eight times as much as the 25 cent size.

Track laying on the railroad is
progressing right along across
Marion county, says the Yellville
Echo. They are putting down
about 4,000 feet of steel a day,
having passed Flippin last Fri
day and unless some unexpected
delay occurs, will reach Yellville
station Saturday evening, and
push right on as far as George’s
creek, where a temporary sus
pension of the work will be nec
essary until the trestle across
George’s creek valley is com
pleted. About one-third of the
structure is already done, and
after the road reaches there so
the heavy timbers can be sup
plied by rail, the work can be
carried on much more rapidly
than at present, while every
thing has to be hauled from Cot

tion passes this point it will be
extended on to Omaha, where
another hold up will be encoun
tered, awaiting the completion
of the tunnel at that place. It is
understood that passenger ser
vice will be extended to Yellville
in a few days or as soon as the
necessary side tracks can be put
down, as the schedule has al
ready been changed to allow for
the additional run between here
and Cotter and leave that point

Advocatedv by University Professor
in Botijk Recently Issued.
Plana InelaSw list* Supervision of All
Contracts sod Liberal Divorce
Laws—Evils la tbo Social
Stpaetaro.
State supervision Ot all marriage
contracts, uniform and liberal divorce
laws, the abolition ot the->,common law
marriage and the education of the
young in sex problems are a'few ot the
reforms advocated in a n&w book
about to be issued at the University
of Chicago.
The work, in three large volumes,
represents 12 y research work on
the part of Dr. George Elliot Howard,
former head of the department of his
tory at the University of Nebraska,
and until recently occupying a similar
post at Leland Stanford, Jr., dbiver
sity. Prof. Howard is the most recent
addition to the staff of the lecture
division ot the University of Chicago.
"Our present dual system by which
marriages may be solemnized by eith
er civil officers or clergymen, is not
the ideal plan," says Prof. Howard.
“It is too complex and is an obstacle
In the way of the development of an
effective system of matrimonial legis
lation. It is awkward and thoroughly
illogical to intrust the execution of the
laws to two classes of persons; one
civil officers created by the state, the
other completely beyond such control.
The license system is also uncertain
and complex in many of its features.
“Radical reform ii* the administra
tion of matrimonial legislation is s
task for future legislators. Ever?
: county should be divided into districts,
ior ui which cl icgiauai buuuiu
be appointed to license, solemnize and
register all marriages civilly contract
ed therein and to license, register and
attend all religious celebrations of
marriage.
“The lawmaker cannot reach the
root of the divorce evil. It is planted
deeply in the social structure and is
In a great measure due to false senti
ment regarding marriage and the fam
ily, a sentiment which can only be
removed by more rational education.
Carefully drawn and uniform statutes
can, however, render conditions favor
able for the operation of this needed
social reform. We need new education
in the problems of sex and this in
struction should be given to the
young, not prudishly, but frankly, and
perhaps while the child is still in high
school.
“The fact that four of our states—
New York, Utah, California and Mis
sissippi—have liberated themselves
by statutory enactments from the
common law marriage within the past
ten years is of vast social Import and
from it reformers may take courage.
In such legislation lies our hope of be
ing able to free America from the
evils of the common law marriage.
“The trouble in a nutshell is that
there is less care exercised in the mat
ing of human beings than there is in
the breeding of fat stock. By exercls
j lng care in contracting unions we shall
! solve the so-called ‘divorce problem.’"
THE MYSTERY OF MEMORY.
A Postal Cleric’s Wonderful Peat
No Adequate Scientific Explana
tion of tbe Wonder.
The newspapers are telling of the re
markable feat of a postal clerk who, in
a civil service examination, did not
make a single error In properly sorting
42,000 test postal cards, each represent
ing a post office In a certain territory as
signed. This was done at the rate of .
13 1-3 cards a minute. Far more note
worthy is the memory of an expert pi- i
ano player, who will play an entire sea- j
son’s concerts without a note of printed
music before him. His memory is so 1
perfect that hundreds of thousands of '
notes must be at the orderly and instant
disposal of the will. And this is com
bined with a multiplicity of synchronous J
recollections of timbre, tempo, expres
sion, etc.
The mystery is at present past the
hinting of any explanation, and this !
fact is as beautiful aR it is appalling. It
shows us, declares American Medicine,
how far we are from any real science of ^
psychology. Physicians note the
strange thrusting of disease among the !
mechanisms of memory, the morbid ef- .
; fects of some neoplasm or Injury to parts
of the convolutions of the brain where
by some memories are lost temporarily 1
or permanently, in part or completely,
while others are unaffected. Even this 1
leaves us in amazement at the lnscruta- i
, ble complexity and methods of the sellu-1 j
lar machine. j
But through these morbid injuries *
we catch tantalizing glimpses which !1
some day, properly studied and followed !
up, may bring some psychologic physl- !
elan to an unraveling of the mystery. I

FORTUNE IN PORPOISES.
-1_
laar of the White Cetacean* Pm
taeat the Gulf of St. Lawrence,
and Are Valaable.
American tourists crossing the St
Lawrence from the mouth of the Sague
nay can almost always enjoy thefsight of
a number of porpoises disporting them
selves upon the water In the neighbor
hood of Tadoussac, says the New York
Sun. The great white cetaceans appear
like shapeless masses of blubber as their
arched backs show from time to time
above the surface. They are doubtless
attracted to the mouth of the Saguenay
by the large number of salmon which en
ter the river throughout the season.
A large Industry is expected soon to
spring up In various parts of the Gulf of
St. Lawrence In connection with the
hunting of porpoises. It has already
been attempted upon a small scale, but
the difficulty of capturing any great
number of the animals has stood in the
way of success. Now the difficulty has
been overcome through the observations
and experiments of Campbell McNab, a
Canadian hunter, who has spent many
years in the study of these animals.
-The adult porpoise of the St Lawrence
and the North Atlantic ocean is from
12 to 18 feet in length. It somewhat re
sembles a dolphin in shape, with large
dorsal fin and a mouth armed with many
strong and sharp feeth. Each porpoise
Is believed to eat from one to three bar
rels of fish a day, so that it is difficult
to estimate the frightful ravages which
they make among the salmon, the her
ring and the cod. They are largely gre
garious, though they aften hunt their
prey in couples. Mr. McNab has often
peered over the edge of an overhanging
rock to watch them catch salmon at the
mouth of a stream and sometimes a long
distance up a river, where they follow
their prey. They chase a salmon Into ft
shallow and then two approach it from
either side. The salmon appears un
able to move, as if paralyzed with fear.
Li. uc auciu^iD luou uum wuc ui mn
pursuers he falls Into the open mouth of
the other.
The porpoise Is equally expert in fish
ing for the slippery eel. Mr. McNah
opened one of these animals the other
day and found more than 40 eels in its
stomach. To prevent their wriggling,
tnd to aid digestion, the porpoise cracks
the skull of the eel between its teeth be
fore swallowing it.
Like the eel, the porpoise can live •
long time out of the water. In fact, it is
virtually amphibious. Some time ago
Mr. McNab shot a number of the ani
mals which had been hauled ashore and
bound together by their tails. After
tkinning another lot at some distance
md taking out the blubber, he turned a
lew days later to the lot which had been
last shot. Unknown to him one had not
>een killed outright. As he passed in
front of it it growled at him “like a dog.’’
be says, and opened its jaws to snap him.
The porpoises are captured by being
Imprisoned at low tide on the shoals,
>ver which they have journeyed when
;he tide was high, in pursuit of thelv
?r*y. Hitherto the difficulty has been to
Ind any barrier strong enough to retain
mch enormously strong, heavy beasts,
ind so many of them together as are
lometimes enclosed. Mr. McNab has
nade the interesting discovery that the
mormous nets through which they often
broke are not necessary to hold back
;he brutes. They are unable' o stand the
rtightest vibration in the ^ater, and so
ill that the hunter now finds necessary is
jo fasten a long thin pole like a fishing
rod to a stake in the mouth of the
itream, the bay or the estuary within
prhich it is desired to retain the por
joises. They remain to be stranded and
tilled upon the shallows rather than ven
iure past the vibrating roa.
This sensitiveness is believed to have
to seat in the ear of the animal, which
las so small an opening that It might
ilmost have been made with a pin. For
rears McNab has held firmly to this
heory, only to be laughed at for his
jams. He has now proved It beyond
►eradventure, and has reaped the fruit
>f his persist secp. At one tide the other
lay he secur r! C9 of the animals on the
ihoals or the Portneuf river a few miles
>elow Tadoussac, and next year wlij
mrsue opera'ions thcre upon a larger
icale. He has '“cured a nine year lease
»f the shoal from the government and
las apparently a fortune within easy
'each. The s’, in and oil from a single
jorpoise are worth from $30 to $50.
The utmost caution has to be takes i
lot to drive the animals away from their i
Launts. If any of the blood or refure o.
heir dead Is permitted to reach the wa
er. Mr. McNab declares, they will de
lert the place entirely. This Is the ex- i
jlanation he gives of the present absence
>f porpoises from the River Ouelle and
>ther places on the banks of the St. Law
'ence, where a few years ago many of
hem were annually killed. The por
>olse, he says, is one of the most inteili
lent animals created.
Unprotected Port.
The reputation of a house often de
fends upon the manner of packing as
nuch as on the merchandise Itself.
Joods for Manila should be packed with
special care. The port Is unprotected
ind the sea is often very rough, mak
ng unloading at such times Impossible
rransfer Is made by natives In small
jo&ts from a point two miles distant
fhese boats are tossed about by the
(lightest agitation of the water.

SHARK AS A MESSENGER.
__________ tf
Carried Newspaper to Sydney Outdis
tancing Steamer Conveying Im
portant Item of News.
The story of the discovery of
human bones and bangles in the
interior of the crocodile captured
at Fort Johnson, Rhodesia,
brings to mind another story
which may appositely be recalled
at the present juncture. Every
body has heard of “Mrs. Macquar
rie’s chair,” as they call the east
ern point of Farm Cove, in Sydney
harbor. There, says the St
James’ Gazette, it was that a poor
emigrant, in pre-cable days, killed
and towed ashore a shark, cut him
up, and found a London newspa
per in the internals. In the paper
was the announcement of the war
between France and Germany.
The shark had outdistanced the
steamer by which the mail was
coming, and here the discoverer
had the fact to himself. He gave
his information to a wealthy wool
dealer, who bought all the sea
son’s clip at 9d. per pound, and
sold at 3s. after the news of the
war had arrived by the ordinary
channel. He cleared, it is said,
four millions sterling by the deal.
The man who killed the shark and
extracted the news of price—well,
he received a battered silk hat
and a five shilling piece and unre
strained liberty as to the disposal
of the shark.
Forgot the Chimney.
A short time ago a public cere
mony was to be carried out at
Landsbut, an important town in
Lower Bavaria. A new publio
school was to be formally opened,
and all Landsbut quivered with
pleasurable anticipation. Unfor
tunately the festivities had to be
put off at the last moment. The
school could not be opened. No
scholar could take his seat upon
the brand-new forms. The land
was in the grip of winter, and the
architect had forgotten to provide
a single chimney throughout the
building.
