We Always Get There.

The illustrated edition oflast Tues
days South Kentuckian was reg
ular daisy. Many compliments have
been passed upon that issue and so
great was the demand for 1t that day
that the sales excelled by for any is
sue of any paper ever printed in the
city. The Ohio Valley Railway
Company bought 500 copies for dis
tribution, which, with the number
called for by others, forced us TO is
sue two extra editions. Well, what
does this demonstrate but that the
people know a good paper when they
see it? or course we appreciate the
words of encouragement we receive,
but they don't make us the least bit
proud. Oh, no; they only nerve us
to go head in furnishing our readers
with the newsiest paper they have
ever had. When there is anything
to be found that we think will inter

and serve il up in style that takes.
We are going TO keep on at it,
too. We don't stay in the Office and
wait for items 10 come TO US, we go
out after them. All we ask is an i'm
partial comparison with other pa

g. HAsKINs.
Mr.. Haskins does not give any rea-
son for chopping the matter of so
short, but we are satisfied he was an
anti-railroad man, and is still harbor-
ing prejudice in his heart. This is
the wrong feeling TO have about an
election, and upon the same principle
those who were for the railroads
could swear vengeance against the
l.. & n. because it was against them,
but they do not feel that way, but on
the contrary the officials and the PEG.
pie bear the same relations as hereto
fore, and the l.. n N. accepts her de-
feat. Mr., Haskins, as you have paid
up your subscription, we shall re-
turn to you your rebate, but as time
moves on and we get the new raul
roads we are satisfied you will
change your feelings towards those
who favored them.

A Stupendous Enterprise.

vi that vast work, as projected, the
ship canal between Bordeaux on the.
Atlantic seaboard and Narbonne on the
Mediterranean coast, it is stated that
the cost will be some $4,000, 900, and
while its length would be about $50
miles the use of it would be a saving of
nearly 700 miles by vessels going from
Southern France or Northern Italy to
the Northern Atlantic. The plan, it is
said, contemplates having railroad
run along the margin of the canal, and
using locomotives to tow the vessels
through, by which means, it is be-
ieved, a speed of seven miles an hour
may be maintained both day and night,
as during the hours of darkness the
canal might be Illuminated with cleo
trio lights. There would be, accord
ing to the plan, thirty locks in
the canal. and the depth of water,
twenty-seven feet, would permit French
armor-clad vessels to pass through the
canal, thus uniting the two sea coasts
of the country, and avoiding the pas
sage through the Strait of Gibraltar,
which might in time of war be block
AIDED by the feet of an enemy, and
would deprive the English of certain
advantages which they now havein the
Gibraltar Notifications. 1t is thought
that, for commercial purposes, the pat
ronage of the canal will be sufficient to
pay a good return on the money invest
% in Its construction.-N. T. Sun.

Horse-FIesh in Corea.

Corean ponies are very diminutive,
not averaging larger than the Shetland
pony, but now and then larger one is
seen. The foreigners of Seoul, how
ever, use Chinese horses almest exclu-
sively. At Tientsin and other places in
China are held what are called spring
races, and hundreds of horses are
brought in from all of Northern China
to be tried, and of course the vast ma
jority of them do not come up to the re-
quired standard and are Immediately
sold off for what they will bring. One
can then pick up a fine horse for 800 or
$50. Large numbers have been brought
from there into Corea. They are large
compared with the Corean ponies, but
on the foreign farm which the King
has started here there are two or three
American horses, and they seem gigan-
tic compared with the Chinese horses
even. The roads about Seoul are not
proper for carriage riding, and SO that
has not been generally INTRODUCED. but
one foreign ''trap" has been brought
here and it was first used on the street
about week ago, and in certain parts
of the city and suburbs it can be used
very successfully. It was novel sight
for the Coreans, and on all sides the
queerest EXPLANATIONS were made. One
man thought the harness was con-
trivance for strapping the horse to-
gether so that he would not fall to
pieces. Not very complimentary.

CONCER MING SOUPS.

Nutritious Varieties.

Vanderbilt's Cook Tells How to Prepare
Nutritious Varieties.
The French preparation of soups is
perfect in the care taken to remove all
grease, which is allowed to rise to the
surface and become hard, then being
removed in solicited mass. The
French avoid noodle, lobster and
mock-turtle soups, and they do not use
vermicelli or macaroni. Delicately
organized persons take safely oyster,
tomato, grumbo, rice, oxtail, puree of
bean soup. If eggs are added to soup,
it will be richer and more nutritious.
Excellent force-meat balls for game
and mock-turtle soups are easily
made: Rub to a paste the yelks of five
hard-boiled eggs, adding slowly and
carefully, at discretion, some calves
brains, also two beaten eggs; season
with salt and butter, and add these to
the soup five minutes before boiling
The French make their soup the day
before it is to be used, giving ample
time for the fat to rise, harden and be
removed. Before serving the next day
it may be thickened with rice, flour or
whatever is preferred. To prepare a
lunch bouillon; soup-bone of
five or. six pounds is required; cut the
meat into small pieces, crack the bones
and turn it all into two quarts of cold
water; let it simmer for five hours,
when the strength will be taken from
the meat; remove all the fat and strain
through a sieve; it should boil down
to ten cups, then season with salt and
pepper. This served in cups. Another
more elaborate bouillon is prepared
with four pounds of the brisket of
beef; place it in a glazed stew-pan.
Pour over it three quarts of cold
water; add three teaspoonfuls of salt;
place it at the side of fire and care
fully remove the scum as it rises; al
. low the regular slow heat for four
hours, occasionally adding a table,
spoonful Of cold water, which will
cause the scum to rise. When quite
clear add two turnips, two carrots,
one leek, one fried onion with two
cloves in it, a head of celery, bunch
of parsley, with a bouquet of sweet
herbs, and a teaspoonful of black pep
per, and let it stew for one hour more.
Take out then the bouilli or boiled
meat, and the vegetables, and strain
the soup, which is served French fash
ion, poured over slices of bread at the
bottom of the toureen, or English
fashion, with small squares of toasted
bread. The bouilli, used as a remove
to the soup, should be sent in with the
vegetables neatly arranged around it.

HOME. FARM AND GARDEN.

"A piaro put squarely against the

"A slight raking every few DAYS will

Blackberry vines should be well
cultivated after the fruit has been
picked. The old canes should not be
cut out until late in the fall, but the
new canes, which are to produce next
years crops, will be greatly benefited
by cultivation.
A correspondent of the Fruit Re-
corder says he has boiled leaves and
stems of tomato plants, until the juice
has been all extracted, and has found
the liquor deadly to caterpillars, lice

1t does not iniure the growth of plant,
and its odor remains for long time
to disgust insect marauders.
AS rule meadows should be cut
reasonably early, not later than when
the seed begins to form. Early cutting
aids to thicken up, while allowing the
plants to mature seeds increases the
loss, especially if the weather should
keep hot and dry. Thin or vacant
places can be thickened up by raking
or narrowing so as to loosen up the
soil and then sow plenty of good seed,
either in the fall or spring. Western

SOME SUMMER CROPS.
Grasses and Vegetables That Grow Rap
idly and Mature Early.

Grasses and Vegetables That Grow Rap
idly and Mature Early.
Some of the most important crops
grown are those that are seeded after
the summer opens. While certain
plants may require the cooler weather
of spring, with plenty of time for
growth, any failure of the crops seeded
in the spring does not necessarily cause
loss of the whole season, as some of
the most profitable crops grown are
put in as late as July. The sweet po-
tato, bean, millet, buckwheat and tur-
nip crops are strictly summer crops,
and grow rapidly and mature early.
The sweet potato plants are set out in
rows like cabbage, and this compels
the work to be done rather early in the
season, when the ground is moist,
which renders the plants subject to in
jury on cool nights, as they are very
tender. This desire to get the sweet
potato plants out early has caused their
loss, and it is necessary this season for
replanting in many instances. 1t is
not the early plants that always take
the lead in growth, but those that start
off under the most favorable conditions,
and late plants, therefore, may produce
better than those put out early. Millet
is one of the most profitable crops that
can be grown, especially on fields
not suitable to clover, as it entails
but little labor and produces hay of ex-
cellent quality if cut when the seed
flowers appear. Much depends on the
time of cutting and curing the crop.
Hungarian grass, which is closely al
lied to millet, can be used as pasture
grass when young, Or it may be moved
at intervals of time allowed for growth
and cured as hay. Millet and Hunga-
rian grass are excellent weed extermi-
majors. The seed terminates quickly
and soon takes possession of the ground,
crowding out the weeds and killing
them in their first stages. Buckwheat
is a summer crop that has long been
known as a special agent for reducing
rough soil and for blowing under as
green manurial crop. The turnip crop
is one of the most important. Formerly
farmers gave the turnip crop but little
attention owing 70 the labor required
for it's production, but at the present
day the opening of the rows, seeding,
covering, and wedding can be done
with implements especially adapt
ed for the purpose, and the crop should
be a leading one on every farm. Tur-
nips can be grown in large fields if the
grouad be properly prepared, and for
winter use, fed to stock either cooked
or raw, they serve to promote health
and increase the value of the grain
rations by their dietary effect. 1t has
been shown that whenever roots are
fed to such stock in connection with
other food the combination gives
greater increase than an exclusive
diet of one kind, and this fact alone
gives an additional value to the turnip
crop.-Philadelphia Record
