CYCLQNIC.

The unusual prevalence of destruct-
i've cyclones this spring, rendes it OF
great Importance that communities,
and especially farmers distant from
help, should be advised Of the best
mean of escaping their fury. By
carefully reading what Is said about
them, it will be seen that thermome-
tiers, barometers and cellars are good
things to have about houses. The
condition of the atmosphere will be
indicated by the two former sufficient
ly early for warning, and the latter is
the most secure known retreat for a
family. In many, indeed in most in
stances, there has been time after
visible approach of tornadoes, to
reach cellars under residences, and
even those at some distance from
them, constructed to keep milk, but
ter, meat and vegetables. Probably
the latter, when strongly built ant
well covered with earth, are the mos
reliable protection against storms tina
can be devised. Brick and log house:
| seem to be most destructive to lif'
and property, because they 60 tt
pieces by piece-meal and are seldom
or never removed from their founda
tons in a body, as very often ar
frame buildings.

KENTUCKY.

The recent action Of the Democrats
in Kentucky demonstrates how true
the party in that State continues to be
to its historic traditions. In the reso-
buttons adopted by the State Conven-
ton, there is nothing but adherence
to Tariff for revenue" without ref
erence to either protection or free
trade. Their exact p~hraseology is
IS follows:
Resolved, "That the Democracy Of
Kentucky, in convention assembled,
reaffirms its unaltered confidence in
and affection for the principles and
| policies embodied in the organic law OF
the Democratic party adopted at the
National Democratic Convention held
at St. Louis in 1876 and ratified al
| Cincinnati in $780,"
"That our law in relation to revenue
and taxation should be SO framed a:
to secure equality in the rate of asses
ments as nearly as possible, and te
insure the collection Of that revenue
in the most convenient and inexpen'
sive manner"
The above is all that any Demo
cratic platform need set forth. 1t fol
lows the idea of the National Constitu
ton and accepts is plan without con
sidering how much protection will b
thereby given to home industry, o
to what extent free trade will be pro
noted. The craftsmanship Of tn
democracy to be acceptable must b
practical, and the party in Kentuck
has manifested its wisdom by impar'
l ing that quality to its utterances.

Ever since the days of Eve, a long
drawn wall has gone up from the heart
of woman touching her frizzes, and
she has ~passionately yearned for some
thing that would prevent them un-
crimping at inopportune times. In
response to this touching popular
want, behold a scientific American
holding up to the delighted eyes Of
his countrywomen "a crimp protec-
tor for preventing the uncrimping OF
ladies' ~frizzes." 1t was Artemus
Ward who once said of an illustrious
American that every time an emergen'
cy arose he got up and ''busted in
the emergency's head" In view Of
this crimp-protector, who shall say
that Wards tribute to Washington i:
not equally applicable to tue variety
| of scientific American under consid
Grafton? If this protector really
protects we have no doubt that it
patentee will come into such wealth a
to be moved to exclaim: "Let m.
make the crimp-protectors of a natiol
andI carr not who doesits plumbing
And then to think of women all owe
the civilized world speaking his nam
with gratitude and admiration, dow
through the ages until time and frizze
shall be no more.

Correspondence of the Ledger.
LADDoN1A, Mo-, May 2l-The peo-
pie go shivering round this morning
with overcoats and shawls on, and
from all appearance one would think
it the middle of January. The farm
ers are beginning to ''halt between
two opinions" whether it better to
sell corn now at 40 cents, or wait un-
til next winter and get IS cents-pro-
riding the crop be a failure. This is a
mystery that belongs to the future.
Captain Shield gave one Of his
string speeches here last week, on
prohibition.
Mrs. Clara Alexander, who is
working under the order of The Sons
of Temperance, was in town last Sat-
urday. Mrs. M. E. DeGeer, the
great temperance worker, was also in
town on Saturday. She has lately
had an interesting meeting in jeff
erson City, at the time the Medical
Institute was being held there, and
had the pleasure of addressing that
body.
The indications are very good for a
wedding-or we might say two we'd
dings. Two of the parties being old
er in years, and of course wiser, are
less demonstrative of Cupid's darts,
while the other parties, are not sc
cautious.
Many "movers" in town, all hunt.

tt is a practice with some farmers
to whitewash the trunks and larg-
err Of their young apple trees every
spring, to remove the moss and de-
stroy moths and other insects. The
bark of a tree performs functions
similar to the skin of a person. 1t
exhales and inhales such gases and
substances as are necessary to its
healthy condition. The line closes
the pores and becomes an alright
coating. A strong wash of tobacco
I've and ~soapsuds, will be as effective
upon MOSES and insects as lime, and
will open the pores Of the bark, give
it a smooth glossy surface, and will
do no harm.

'HStop Thief!n

Our worthy contemporary, the Intel
zigeneer, gets off its base and talks
rough at the LEDGER about the city
printing. We should think they would
be IN q better humor, as they got the
work, They say they will stop the
''leak,' and pirates about democracy
in connection with the leak. II there
was any leak, the Inteligencer was
the cause of it. They set the price
last year at 80 cents an inch, and
asked US not to bid. The LEDGEB
received the bulk of the work. They
thought, of course, the big 'sI' would
get it all, if there were no bids. Thi:
year the LEDGER bid "a cents per inch
and the Lnteuigencer 8 cents. They
were awarded the city printing
Quite a difference between 8 cents
bid this year, and so cents the.
charged last year. Now, who dit
