"Spring Chickens" is the latest.
1t is just as bad and unsatisfactory
as the others. 1t is modelled after
"Pigs in Glover" and "Cows In the
Corn" 1t is little tin affair, with
five leaden bullets to represent the
spring chickens. The coop is in the
ceutre. If you are right easy you
may have a chance of getting the
chickens safely cooped. If you are
not slow, cautious man, you need
not try it.-Nashville american.

A NEW POINT,
An Act Of the Legislature That Seems
10 Settle the o, V. Gaze.

Another strong point has been
made in the o. V, case, which will
DO tried by the Court of Appeals
about May LIST, that was not made in
the lower court. 1t has been dis
covered that the last legislature
passed an act adopting as the "Gen-
eral Statutes" the latest edition Of
the Bullitt and Feland statutes, in
the preface of which those gentlemen
state that they have included every
State law now in fore, and from
which the 1870 act is omitted. Here
is the act:
Be ii enacted by the General Assem-
bly, Of the Commonwealth of Ken
tucky:
l. That the edition of the Gener.
al Statutes published in the year
1887, by Joshua +. Dullitt and John
Feland, from Chapter | TO Chaptcc
ll3a, inclusive, shall constitute aud
be known as the General Statutes OF
the Commonwealth ofKentucky, and
shall be designated and cited by the
words, 1.-The General Statutes add
ing the number of the chapter and
section, when necessary, and as such
are adopted as the law of the land:
ProUided, That this act shall not be
held or construed to repeal any gen
eral or public act passed since 1873,
or in force and effect at the date of
the passage of this act, and not in
cluded in the edition above men,
toned.
~. This act shall take effect from
and after its passage.
Approved April 10, 1883
Hon. John Feland, one of the COM
pliers Of the General Statutes, is at
torney for the county aud isexpected
TO establish the fact that he omitted
general law from the &c ,neral
Statutes" of the State. THIS is the
one point in the case and Mr. Feland
is certainly placed in an embarrass.
ing attitude.

house is never quite the same when she is out

Lucia still wondered. She loved her mother
In tho instructive, not over intelligent way OF
most young people, but really she could not
see what there was about the estimable wo-
man that should make her father long to see
her every day Of the year and search the
house for her whenever he returned. She
had never heard her father make romantic
speeches, such as nice married people some
times do in novels; and as for her mother,
what did she ever talk of to her liege lord
but family bills, the servants, the children's
faults, and her own ailmentsi Could 1t be,
she asked herself, that this matter of fact

"Most husbands do, sooner or later" said
Lucia
"Perhaps will, some day." the father re-
piled; "and can tell you when it will be-"

Probably no one thing has caused such a
general revival of trade at Parkhill d Son
Drug Store as their giving away to their
customers of so many free trial bottles OF

Their trade is simply enormous in this very
valuable article from the fact that it always
cures and never disappOints. Coughs,
Colds, Asthma, Bronchitis, Group, and all
throat and lung diseases quickly cured. You
can test it before buying by getting tria

Mr.. Rankin, at the first of the farmers
meetings at Boston for the season of 1SS9-90
said he abandoned the milk business oand
small fruits to devote himselft to poultry, be-
cause he found that dressed poultry sold for
three times as much as beef or pork and cost
less per pound to raise; and he found later
that ducks could be raised at still smaller
cost, in half the time and bring still better
profits. And his profits are good and his
bsuiness renunerative. Labor is the great
est expense, and the toll is constant and un-
remitting. He uses incubators, finds Light
Brahmas and Plymouth Rocks the best for
settlers, and cross of the two breeds makes
fine market poultry and good layers and
