May Arrests.
A Big Improvement.

Messrs. Pyle 4 Rensbaw, the furni-
ture men, have for several weeks been
at work on their furniture rooms, up
stairs in the Henry Block. A new
raised floor for the better display of
their fine suits Of furniture has been
put down, the office has been re-
hoored and papered, all the rooms
have been re-painted, and now every
thing presents a bright and attractive
appearance. These gentlemen. know
what furniture is and when to buy it,
and they say they are going to sell at
lower prices than ever before. Their
only expense is house rent and they
well afford to do this. They carry
one Of the largest stocks in the State,
from the finest to the cheapest grades,
conspicuous among which are then
bridal suits. Those who are contem.
plating furnishing bridal chambers o.
needing furniture Of any kind should
not fail to call and inspect their stock

A Handsome Increase in Spite Of the
Spring Fires.

A Handsome Increase in Spite Of the
Spring Fires.
The following items or interest are
taken from the City Assessors book
for 1890, just returned to the City
Clerk;
Number OF tithes, white, ia, min
listers not taxed, 10; colored tithes,
5l7, ministers 10, Making total of
72i white and 5S3 colored males over
q, against 692 white and 53l colored
last year. This is not complete list,
as there are probably 20 or 30 voters
in the city exempted from poll tax and
not included in the list of tithes.
Furthermore the colored list shows
an increase OF SO, while the KENTucK-
IAN only few months ago printed
the names of "a voters who were not
listed last year. These names brought
the list for 1889 up to COS and yet the
1890 list shows only 5s3. There has
been some more lodging, but not 30
much as last year.
These figures show total OF l,3OI
voters, but the old men exempted and
the dodgers would add 80 or 100
names to this footing.

The ,tnti-steal bar shown in the second
cut is another very simple yet effective
contrivance for locking the stable door,
illustrated in the same journal as was
the foregoing.
"Itconsists simply of couple of pieces
of strong bar iron. The upright at the
right of the door is mortised to allow
the longer bar to pass back far enough
for the other end to enter the upright
at the left. The left end is notched
as represented, and a short piece is fas-
tened by single bolt, allowing the
notched end to play up and down. When
the bar is pushed in the catch rises un-
til the notch is passed, when it drops into
the notch in the bar. holding it firmly.
''To open it is puzzle to the uniniti-
ated. The key is a short piece of fence
wire, which should hang near at hand.
Move the bar to the left, which raises
the catch, pass the key through gimlet
hole represented just over the catch,
press against the catch, holding it up,
when the bar can be pulled ont. There
are several advantages in this mode oi

wedding Rye from wheat,

In wheat growing localities rye is a
weed, and an especially dangerous one to
get among seed wheat We have known,
says Toronto Mail, some wheat growers
who would not grow rye on any part of
their farms, as it would get into the
manure piles and thus spread to the
wheat field. Rye is much more hardy
than wheat, and in bad seasons it in
creases As its tall heads peer above the
wheat, ten days or more before the latter
heads out, there is ample time to go
through the field with sharp knife and
cut out the intruder. 1t is curious to
note the prolificacy of rye when it has
good chance. Each of these stools il
from single grain, and each will have
from four or five to eight or more stalks
with a well filed head, and altogether
bearing often fifty to sixty times the
number of the grains from which it
sprung. AS the farmer is doing this job
he may well wonder why rye, as sown
IN the field for grain, does not yield at
this rate, and whether he does not usual
ly SOW three or four times as much seed
as would be needed if the plants were
better manured and the soil better fitted.

EPOCH.

The transition from long lingering
and painful sickness to robust health
marks an epoch in the life of the individ-
ual. Such a remarkable event is treas
ured in memory and the agency whereby
the good health has been attained is
gratefully blessed. Hence it is that so
much is heard in praise Of Electric Bit
ters. So many feel they owe their res~
toration to health, to the use of the great
Alternative and tonic. If you are troubled
with any disease of kidneys, liver or
stomach. of long or short standing you
will surely find relief by use of Electric
Bitters. Sold at SOC and 81 per bottle

In our cuts are shown some clever con-

in hot weather, one day arranged an
umbrella as shown at Fig. 1. I cut a
small burr oak, about an inch in diam
