The laws OF health are taught in the

much practical benefit and are never
illustrated by living examples, which
in many cases might easily be done.
II some scholar, who had just contract
ed "a cold, was brought before the
school, so that all could hear the dry
loud cough and know its significance,
see the thin white coating on the
tongue and later, as the cold deve-
loped, see the profuse watery ex-
pectoration and thin watery discharge
from the nose, not one of them would
ever forget what the first symptoms
of a cold were. The scholar should
then be given Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy freely, that all might see that
even a severe cold could be cured in
one or two days, or greatly miti-
gated, when properly treated as soon
as the first symptoms appear. This
remedy is famous for it's cnres OF

Col. Young, Chairman of the Com
mittee on Corporations, has submitted
a report recommending that the leg
islative boards of cities having but
one board should be elected from the
city at large. This would destroy
the ward system, by which it is made
possible f)r the taxpayers OF many
cities like Bowling Green, Hopkint-
vile, Paducah and Danviile to con-
troll the city. In Hopkinsyille for in
stance six out OF seven wards, in
which nineteen-twentieths of the
property is located. are Democratic.
In the otLer wBrds, where there is col
ored majority Of three hundred, a vote
has for years been piled up large
enough under the old order Of things
to control the entire city and fill the
Offices with the most malignant parti-
sans Of the Republican party, black
and wLite. For the first time an eltc
tion has just been held und:r the
ward system and the city has been
rescued from such domination. The
adoption OF Col. YouDg's report
would destroy white supremacy in
Hopkinsville as well as in numbers of
other cities, and such clause in the
constitution would call down upon it
the opposition Of the Democratic
vote in all such cities. The Conven-
tion will make more than mistake,
it will commit stupid blunder, If it
adopts such a clause, and it is ear
nestly to be hoped that this portion Of
the report will be rejected by the Con
vention.

Quebec (Canada) dIspatch: The bark
Askow, from Hamburg, which arrived
here last night had on board Capt
Anderson, the mato, and four OF the
crew OF the Norwegian bark SPernnZa,
Capt. Anderson, which was sunk of
the Grand Banks In collision with an

OF the accident says:

ing very good time, sho ran plump into
an iceberg as tall as her spars and,
Capt. Anderson believes, fully
q mile long. He says It was
running into tho face of cliff.
The bark's bows were crushed in
as If she were an egg shell, and be-
fore those aboard could collect their
senses the vessel began settling In the
water. Captain Anderson gave orders
to work the pumps, but only half
dozen strokes had been taken before it
II was found that to save their lives
the crew must desert the ship immed-
ately. One side OF the vessel was still
crunching against the side OF the
berg. and the foretopmast with
its rigging, and the forward yards
were strung over both bows,
where thev had fallen when
the vessel struck. The watc, below
rushed out of tho forccastle in their
trousers and shirts when the shock
came, and all hands at once took to the
two boats. The second mate took COM
mand OF the smaller boat, with three
others OF the crew, while the captain
and the first mate, with four Of the
crew, took the larger boat. The smaller
boat has not been seen since the day
after the collision, throe weeks ago,
and they are all thought to be lost.
The captains boat had very little
provisions in 1t, and the next morning
an attempt was made to lay course for

apparently struck the eastern edge OF a
