Old Kentucky Homes.

Rather to the country than TO the
towns in Kentucky must one look for
the local history of the home life.
There first was implanted under Eng
lish and Virginia influences the an
tique style of cOuntry-seat; there
flourished for time those gracious
manners that were the high-born en-
dowment of the olden school; there in
piquant contrast were developed side
by side the democratic and aristocratic
spirits, working severally toward
equality and caste; there was estab-
lished the State reputation for ELUSIVE
private hospitalities, and there still
are peculiarly cherished the fading
traditions of more festive boards and
kindlier hearthstOnes. If the feeling
of the whole people could be inter
preted by a single. saying, it would
perhaps be this: that whether in town
or country-and if in the country, not
remotely here or there, but in we'll
nigh nbroken succession from estate
to estate--they have attained a notable
stage in the civilization of the home.
This is the common conviction, this
the idol of the tribe. The idol itself
uldN IcSG Oi JIG ldCb VI plONlh ISO-
latiOn, which is the fortress of self
love and neighborly devotion; but it
sutfices for the present purpose to say
that it is an idol STILL wtrshiped for
the divinity it is thought to enshrine.
Hence you may assail the Kentuckian
on many grounds, and he will hold his
peace. You may tell him that he has
no great cities, that he does not run
with the currents of national progress;
but never tell him that the home life
of his fellows and himself is not as
good as the best in the land. Domes-
ITCHY is the State porcupine, present
inc an angry quill to every point of
attack. To write of homes in Ken
lucky, therefore, and particularly of
rural homes, is. to enter the very cita-
del of the popular atfections.-J0aaleS

WattersOn on Lynch Law.

The rule of mob law in this country
seems to be extending, says the Louis
vile C0urjer-J0urn0l. The fact that so
many persons are lynched is the most
powerful Indictment that could be
drawn up against the modes of crimi-
nails procedure prevalent everywhere.
There can not be any question of the
fact that the machinery of the law, as
it is administered in the United States,
is cumbrous and slow, and provides
more safeguards than terrors for the
criminals. A skillful criminal lawyer,
if his client possesses any influence or
standing whatever, can "wear out"
any ordinary case, even of murder.
The law fills his hands with trump
cards. He can find plenty of techni-
calities, flaw in the Indictment, or
some other legal bubble, and he can
ask for new trials and appeals and
postpone until the important witnesses
are dead or have left the country and
the public has fOr0OttOn the case,

PURE AIR AND EXERCISE.
If One Tries These Two Remedies He
Will Soon Get Well.

Exercise, as well as pure air, helps
us in our consta1t struggle against the
poisons that wei manufacture within
ourselves It dol s this by driving the
blood charged with oxygen, by means
of the pressure Of the muscles called
into play, more thoroughly through
the tissue; and thus it would quicken
the breaking down of dead tissue into
its safe and final waste products (wa-
ter, carbonic acH and urea), and
shorten the peritP during which the
dead tissue was plssing through vari-
Gus dangerous fox s which it tempo
rarily assumes. From this fact we
may infer that thl man of sedentary
life, above all othelt,requires pure air.
In truth, pure al and exercise are
equal forces acting\in the same direc-
ton. They both gel rid of waste, and
with it of the poisCps in the system
which are depressing various organs.
We need not, there pre, be surprised
when we are told by Mir d. Cation that
after barracks were better ventilated
the rations of the men had to be in
creased; or by "the pathetic story" of
certain seamstresses whose Work-room
was ventilated, and VINO then begged
that the old state of things might be
restored, as their appetites had in
creased beyond their earnings. Sir D.
Gallon gives another experience, illus
trating the Oppressive effect of these
poisons upon the functions Of life. A
New York medical man, according to
the Popular Science Monthly, rather
cruelty shut up some flies without
food, some in foul air, others in pure
air; the pure air being constantly
changed. To his surprise, the flies in
the pure air died first, these dying
from simple starvation; while the flies
in the foul air died from poison, and
with the tissue of their bodies unex-
hausted, indicating how the functions
of life were carried on to the last
where oxygen was available, but had
been slowed and depressed by the
presence of the poison, so that life was
actually maintained longer in the foul
than in the pure air.
