INCREASE OF CRIME.

That a high degree of civilization, where
schools and churches abound, and Chris
tan benevolence blossoms on every hand
is not free from numerous scenes of dia-
bolical crime, is only too painfully mani
fest in the criminal records of our coun-
try for the year.
Never before in all the history of jour-
nallsm have it's columns been so crowded
with the details of all that is fiendish and
horrible, and with the often frantic and
ominous manner in which the public has
sought to avenge itself, as of late.
During the year 1882, the number of
murders reported by telegraph was !, 966.
Already the list for this year foots up
1917. Another feature, suggestive and
reproachful, is the fact that the larger
proportions of punishment have come in
the shape of public retribution, but of 211
who have paid the penalty of crimes.
only SO have been judicially executed.
Here is important matter for reflection
to both the philanthropist and law maker.

lemons a Cure for consumption.

A correspondent from an En-
glish medical journal furnishes the
following receipt as a neg cure for
consumption: Put a dozen whole
lemons in cold water and boil until
soft mot too soft), roll and squeeze
until the juice is all extracted,
sweeten the juice enough to be pal
atable, then drink. Use as many
as a dozen day. Should they
cause pain or loosenesg of the
bowels, lessen the quantity and use
five or six q day until better, then
use a dozen again. By the time
you have used five or six dozen you
will gain strength and have an APP
petite. OF course, as you get bet
ter, you need not use so many.
Follow these directions and we
know you will never regret it, if
there is any help for you. Only keep
it up faithfully. We know of two
cases where both patients were Civ
en- up by the physicians, and were
in the last stages of consumption,
yet both were cured by using lem
ons according to the directions we
have stated. One lady in particu
lar was bedridden and very low;
had tried everything that money
could procure, but all ia vain,
when, to please q friend, she was
finally persuaded to use lemons.
She began to use them in February,
and in April she weighed 40 lbs.
She is well woman to-day and |
likely TO live as long IS any Of US.

The Railroad Station Loafef.

OF all loafers the railroad station
loafer is the most loaferishest. He
is noisy, obtrusive, insolent. He
sits down, and compels the passen-
ger, the patron of the railroad, to
stand up. He kicks your valise as
he passes it. He is never without a
mouthful of tobacco, and he always
eXpectorates either in the direction
of your valise or your. feet. He
stands in your way st the ticket
office, although he is never known
to go anywhere. He looks over
your shoulder at the telegraph win
dow while you write a message. He
spars and 'rastles" with other hood
lums. He loudly calls the attention
of his fellow-loafers to your personal
appearance and makes "stage- aside"
remarks for you to hear as you pass
by him. He is utterly useless, in
fnitely worthless and q wholesale
nuisance. When he is under four
teen years of age he should be
logged and compelled to go to
school; between the ages of fourteen
and twenty-one he should be sent
to the house of correction or re-
form school, and after reaching The
age of twenty-one he should be
hanged. Off with his head. So
much for the loafer.-Burdette.

Hungarian Grass.

The present month offers an ex-
cellent opportunity to those who
are scarce of meadow, or where the
catch has not been good. to SOW
Hungarian grass. This is not only
an excellent green forage crop, but
when properly cured, makes a sweet,
nutritious hay. We are fully per-
suaded our farmers do not grow
enough. There are various opin-
ions about its nutritive qualities
compared with Timothy. We do
not consider Hungarian grass is as
nutritivs as timothy, but it bears a
far heavier crop to the acre making
up in quantity what it lacks in
quality. 1t is also an excellent
crop to clean land and tone down a
piece of land that has a tendency to
grow too rank a crop of straw. The
trouble about Hungarian grass is
that it is not generally cut at che
proper time. Half bushel should be
sown to the acre, about the middle
of June, and if cut right, makes
fine hay, and on good land should
yield from two to three tons per
acre. 1t should be cut when in the
first blow, before any seed is
formed; wilt in the swath the same
as clover, and make in the cock.
The stalk will then be nearly solid
aad the hsy very heavy, and it will
be as green as grass. If cured in
this way, it is excellent iced
for horses and COWS. But if al
lowed to turn yellow and form seed,
it is the same as any other grain,
and will, of course, injure a horse
the same as if he were fed wheat in
the bundle to excess; and for this
reason we often hear of the injuri-
Gus effects resulting from feeding
Hungarian grass-that is, when it
is cut too old and fed indiscrimi-
nately. When harvested at the
proper time, there is no more dan
ger in feeding it to stock than
clover or timothy. If cut at the
proper time, it will sometime sprout
up and make good tall feed, or a
good crop to turn under. If an
early crop is cut, it may be cut a
second time for seed, but it will
be short and will scarcely pay.
Hungarian grass comes in as a sea
soning soiling crop, and every far
mer should have an acre or so on
hand to feed mich COWS and horses
when they come up at night. The
crop pays.

Nothing TO Do.

Coming west on y dining car on
the Fort Wayne and Pennsylvania
railroad, the other day, the passen-
gers were putting in the time wait
ing for late breakfast, conversing
on all kinds Of topics. Two men
were in a seat talking when one
said: "Nine o'clock is later break
fast than l am accustomed to. l
always eat breakfast at T." The
other man, splendid looking young
fellow, said, after yawn, ~ never
eat breakfast till ten o'clock. =
The man with whom he was talking
said, s'You must take it pretty leis-
urely about getting to business, -
and then the nice looking young
fellow said, 'Businessl l have no
business. ! have nothing on earth
to do and meyer had thought of
doing anything, and never had a
care. 1 have an income" Every
body that was within hearing turned
and looked at the great strapping
fellow who had nothing on earth to
DO, and he fell away below zero in
everybody estimation. We pitied
the fellow from the bottom Of our
heart. Nothing to do. No ambi-
tion, no nothing, hut to get up an
appetite for the next meal by drink
ing bitters, no business to take his
mind from his lazy life. Then we
studied the fellow all day, and half
of the next day. Honestly, it got
so the passengers looked down on
him, and sneered when he passed.

a young man, whose future seemed at
one so bright, and who had so much
to make life worth living for as
Frank Steele. The son of promi-
nent citizen of Woodford county,
formerly county judge, and whose
open, bright boys face comes to
recollection as we first knew him, he
killed, little over year ago, a
man who was in an alteration with
an older brother. Like so many
youths, he wore the ready pistol,
and in a rash moment of impetuous
temper used it. He pleaded as ex-
cuse that he thought his brothers
life was in danger, but after a full
trial q jury of the county denied
his right to pass sentence of death
on his fellow man, and decreed that
he should go to the penitentiary
for life. 1t is said that eleven were
for hanging him. All that the in1u-
ences of wealthy connection and
able counsel could do was done to
save him, but the verdict came as a
stunning rebulle to the traducers OF
Kentucky law and Justice, who say
that no one with money or friends
can be convicted here An appeal
was taken to the court of appeals
and ably prosecuted, but the decis-
ion of the lower court was affirmed
on the 18th inst, and the blood Of
Welsh is avenged by the regular
course of law. There are tender
hearts of loving kindred which will
bl, ed at this announcement, and
over whose lives will hang heavy
cloud of sorrow. 1t should be q
lesson to every young man, and
empty the hip pockets of every one
who is not at heart a murderer.

is unfortunate that farmers are slow
in doing this No one ever heard
of a physician fresh from his schools
and books being sneered at as a
'book-doctor' On the contrary, all
doctors without a complement of
book-learning, scientific training,
are Stunned and denominated as
'quacks.' Yet very recently it was
common for farmers of the olden
style to look with pity, if not sus-
picion, upon those who studied ag-
ricclture as a science and under
took its practice with progressive
spirit, and to call such book farm
ers.' Happily such errors are pass
ing away; bookfarmers, well edu
Gated farmers, are making them
selves felt, winning respect and
finding an appreciation of their en-
terprise. Let us hope the time is
not distant when book farmers, in
the best sense, shall be in the ma
jority& Then, perhaps, 'quacks'
will be found in farming. The
fact is, at present, quack farmers
are too plenty and book-farmers too
| few"

Setting the Hen.

This is the season of the yeal
when the matron of the barn yard
becomes seized with the idea that
upon her shoulders Tor wings
rests the fate of future generations.
She longs to set with a longness
that surpasseth understanding, and
she will turn the fierce ardor of her
affection In an undiminished food,
with equal facility upon an old
door knob, or thousand of brick.
You may turn barrel over her in
the middle of a running stream and
she will set upon the little fishes in
the brook. You may seek, by ty-
ing red flannel to her wings, to WOO
her mind and other emolments from
the object of her thoughts, but to
no purpose. So the best way to do
with her is to give hera hatful of
eggs and let her see What she can
make out of them.
But, dear agriculturist, did you
ever stop and reflect upon what an
awful thing it was to trifle with the
affections Of confiding and unsus-
pecting hen Yhen you tuck away
beneath the canopy of her bosom
and her broad expanse of tail
feathers a setting of duck eggs?
Dear Caucasian mother, would you
like to gaze upon the faces Of your
little cherubs, and see in them Tar
tars, Turks or Chinese, instead of
pure and undefiled blood Of their
parents? Then what a sad and sol
emn surprise it must be to a ma
tronly hen, who, after few weeks
laying, feels that she has had call
to set, and after q lenten season of
three weeks is rewarded by a break
ing of shell and the appearance of
her fedglings, and then looking into
the CONTINGENCIES of her young, be-
holds a broadness of upper lip and
a hoarsness of voice unlike herself
or her husband. Think of the pc
sition it must place her in the So
cial poultry circles-she, a hen
against whom the voice of suspi-
cion had ever been silent and
the hand of calumny unified, com
PEELED to rear a family of young
ducks.
We owe too much to tte hen to
treat her in this cruel manner.
Without her, egg-nog would be an
lmpossibility, ice cream delusion,
and custard Die a bowling failure.
With her we can hope Tor spring
and frosting on cake, and
hundred bits of delicate cookery, |
and we should see to it that she is !
perpetuated and not turned to an
ndiscriminate factory for ducks.
Ducks of course are necessary

hens in branch of poultry culture

If farmers would understand that
it is' only the extra food that
produces growth, or that pays any
thing, they would never raise a SIS
calf, nor would they ever starve cat

starved costs two-thirds as much as
the animal that is fulfilled, and is
seldom worth more than one-third

mes-Democrat: The eastern
manufacturers of cotton goods
started the complaint some time
ago that they were being discrimi-
mated against by the railroads in the
transportation of their goods west
So high were their rates, they said,
that the southern manufacturers,
who, from the many advantages
they possess, are able to make goods
more cheaply than they, were step
ping in and winning away a con-
siderable portion of their Western
trade. At both the Baltimore and
New York meetings they distinctly
acknowledged that they could not
compete with the south in the man
ufacture Of the coarse and cheaper
cotton goods unless the railroads
gave them some more favorable rate.
and they announced their intention
Of giving up business unless better
terms WeFe. granted them. The
question has been before the rail
road commission of New York for
several weeks and has been fully
discussed pro and con. The result
Of this discussion has been to show
that the eastern manufacturers al 1
ready enjoy EXTREMELY low rates for
their cotton goods to the west, and
that any further reduction is i'm
possible. Cheaper rates, the rail
roads show, would cause them to
lose money, and they cannot see
that they are called on to do this in
order to sustain the eastern manu-
facturers. If the east cannot COM
pete with the south in making cot
ton goods, it had best give up this
industry, instead of expecting the
railroads to bolster it up out of their
own pockets. In fine. the railroad
give distinct, emphatic
and somewhat warql rafusal to the
request of the Eastern mills as a.
very wild and impertipent ONE
This controversy, therefore, may be
considered at an end, and oar New
England friends will have to dis
cover some other way OF beating the
south in the manufacture Of it's
great staple into cloth.

France spends So for war every
time she spends thirty-five cents fol
education! That is a great deal
worse than Prussia, where 1916 is
for war against $1.20 for education.
But little Switzerland makes the
best showing among Europeaa pow
ers, where $4.S4 is expended for the
public defence, against $4.16 for
educating the people. Russia is
worse than France, the figure begin
six cents for education to $5.O8 for
war, and no other nation stands in
as unenviable light. No wonder
that absolutism can be sustained in
Russia.
