A Magnificent Book Can lie Secured by Our
PeopIe-Absoiuteiy Free.
The KEsTucKIAN takes pleasure in
announcing TO the people Of Christ
ian county that they can secure a
copy of "The Golden Gems Of Life"
or Gathered Jewels for the Home
Circle" at absolutely no cost what
ever. The Gems comprise a series
of essays on the different passions OF
the human heart, on the successive
periods Of human life, on the various
graces Of the Christian religion, and
on many allied topics, all of which
are highly elevating and helpful in
character and calculated to bring
much good into every home where
the book may find entrance. II is re-
freshing to recommend and encour-
age the circulation of a book of the
rare merit of "The Golden Gems Of
Life" 1t has the hearty endorse
ment of the pulpit, press and people
and an examination of its contents
will prove the Communications to be
fully deserved.
The most reliable merchants of
Hopkinsville have arranged with the
publishers of the "Gems" to place
copy of the book in every home at
their expense. They hope by this
means to secure enough new trade to
justify the great expense of the en-
terprise. The merchants actually
furnish the money Ito pay for the
books. Representatives of the mer-
chants will call on the people during
the next few weeks and explain the
plan upon which the book is furnish
ed to the people, and we trust our
people will take advantage of the
liberal offer made by the merchants
of our city. The advertisement on
the tenth page of this paper further
elucidates the particulars of the en-
terprise and contains the names OF
the firms. A few reliable, intelligent
men can secure employment as So
licitors, by addressing Central Pub
fishing House, Cincinnati, Ohio, at
once.

Inertia Of Fly wheels.

The enormous amount Of energy
stored in a revolving fly wheel is
strilxingly shown when il flies In pieces,
As one did In the Manville mills, at
MAnville, r. l., on the morning of the
18th ultimo. In bursting the wheel
destroyed two other wheels OF the
same size, 30 feet in diameter and
a 25-ineh face. The break will
cause a shut down OF the mills for
nearly month for repairs, and the
damage amounts 10 $4,000. The arms
of the wheels were broken OFF nearly
10 the hubs and immense pieces were
hurled long distances through the
roof and walls of the engine room.
Large pulleys and other machinery
above the engine room were smashed
and twisted into mass Of wreekage.

STORED HIS GAME.

An Indian Hunter who Placed Five
Deer in His Cold Storage Vault
A gentleman who was at work at the
Howard slate quarry in Willimantic,
or mo. g." as 1t was then called,
twenty-five years ago, says deer We're
as plenty then in the woods north OF
Sebec lake as any one could ask for.
The slate company had large num-
Dor of mon employed and boarded
them in camps, the same as lumber
men board their crews in the woods.
To keep the camps supplied with fish
and meat they kept a hunter employed
every day. The supply never ran
short, but some of his methods were
peculiar. He evidently kept fish on
call in the winter season. On several
occasions, the gentleman says, COM
pany came ia from Bangor unexpected
vi late in the evening. But they had only
to say trout to Stone, the hunter and he
would start off into the woods 20 re-
turn in fifteen minutes with a hand
some string Of fish, apparently just
taken from the water.
He would bring in deer in the winter
in much the same way. His manner
OF doing this the gentleman explains,
for he went with him once and learned
the secret He took the deer sled out
to bring in game, and the workman
went along to help haul IT, They did
not 90 very far into the forest, when
they came to lot Of evergreen boughs
heaped upon the snow. Here Stone
stopped. Lifting the boughs, he
tipped the pile over, and the locker on,
who wondered what he was up to, was
scared nearly out OF his senses when
big buck bounded up ont OF the hole
and fell fiat ON his side. His feet were
tethered so he oOHld Dot stand. Stone
had caught him, tethered him and
buried him alive under the brush and
snow against future emergencies, This
was his system OF cold storage.
