Kentucky style.

The following obituary. clipped from
Catlettsburg, KY, paper tells its own
story in its own peculiar way:
Died; at the home of his brother, near
this place, on Jan. 16, Alamander Mar
tin, in the 10Th year of his age. He was
born in Ohio came with his parents to
Kentucky at an early age. He was we'll
beloved by all who knew him. He was
model in the way of economy, industry
and honesty. His voice will no more
be heard by his many relatives whom
he 80 much loved and 80 faithfully
served during sickness. We will greatly
miss him, but pray the Lord to reconcile
US to this sad bereavement, knowing
that our loss is his eternal gain. His
funeral services were attended by the
Rev. VIM. Cook, and a sermon was
preached from the Book of God, after
which large concourse of people fol.
lowing his remains to their last resting
place until called forth on the resurrec.
ton mo"t The following is a short
sketch vi Lis life:
During Mr.. Martins early life
The country was full Of witches.
He carried gun and butcher knife,
And wore the leather breeches.
But as time advanced
He changed his pants,
Yet still preferred the leather.
He would often tell
The way they would smell
In time of rainy weather.
He was man of iron nerve,
A voice loud and piercing
HIS head was gray, his spine curved,
Before he quit his cursing.
His latter days we're days of peace,
A change in disposition
As strength gave way grace increased,
And saved him from perdition.
Now he sails on lions ship,
No more pains from his poor old hip.
He is done with troubles here below,
And gone where all good mortals go.

"Perhaps you would not think 80, but
a very large proportion of disease in New
York comes from carelessness about
catching cold," says DR.. Cyrus Edison.
ut is such simple thing and 40 common
that very few people, unless it is case
OF pneumonia, pay any attention to =
cold. There are great many cases of
catarrh and consumption which have
their origin in this neglect of the sim.
plest precaution of every day life. The
most sensible advice is. when you have
one, get rid of it as soon as possible. By
all means do not neglect it," DR.. Edison
does not tell you how to cure cold but
we will. Take Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy. 1t will relieve the lungs, aid

Loving Too Late.

Not long ago ! met young lady in
poverty whom l had previously known
in wealth. and this was in substance
the story she told me: Father died
suddenly in Washington, and the pro-
fessiOnai skill through which he had
coined money for Us died with him. I
am not weeping because we are poor. I
am broken hearted because none Of us
saw that lie was dying. Was it not pitt
full that he should think it best not to
tell any Of us that he was sick? And !,
his petted daughter, though knew he
was taking opium 10 soothe his great
pain. was so absorbed by my lovers, my
games and my dresses that Just hoped
il would all come right. If could only
remember that even once I had pitied
his suffering or felt anxious about his
life, might bear his loss better!'
The story is common enough. Many
father, year after year, goes in and
ont Of his home carrying the burden and
doing the labor Of life, while those
whom he tenderly loves hold with but
careless hands all of honor and gold he
wins by toll and pain. Then some day
his head and hands can work no more
And the hearts that have not learned
the great lesson of unselfish love while
love was their teacher must now begin
their sad duty when love has left them
alone forever. Amelia E. Barr in La

Caterpillars and Eye Diseases,

1t will come as surprise to many Of
our readers that caterpillars are respon-
sible for an affection Of the eyes which
may entail prolonged suffering and even
result in serious damage to vision. That
such is the case has been abundantly
proved by number Of instances OIL rec
ord i'll which more or less intractable
inflammation Of the eyes has been found
to be associated with the presence Of
hairs which, after removal, have been
identified as belonging to the genus
caterpillar. At a meeting of the Oph-
archaeological society case was related
in which a lad was struck in the eye by
q caterpillar thrown at him by playful
schoolfellow. He picked up the insect
to examine it, and the hand which
seized it became red and developed
papules and other indications of local
irritation. A day or two later the eye
became the seat of what proved to be a
very troublesome Inflammation, associ-
atcd with the presence Of rounded ele.
vations due to an accumulation Of cells
around the imbedded hairs, which were
subsequently discovered and removed. -

Lincoln's Good breeding.

The writer remembers very we'll to
have heard u very fastidious lady. a
member of the Speed household, say
that, though ut that time Lincoln had
none of the polish and Sraccfulness to
be expected from those acquainted with
the usages Of society, he was one of M
lures gentlemen because of his kindli-
ness Of heart and innate refinement.
And after saying this she recalled an in
stance of real good manners on his part
AT dinner there was Il saddle Of mutton.
The servant after handing the roast
passed a glass of jelly. Mr.. Lincoln took
the glass and ate the jelly from it. The
servant got another glass and passed it
around. Mr.. Lincoln noticed that the
others at table merely took a spoonful.
Without embarrassment or apology he
laughed quietly and remarked, 81 seem
to have taken more than my share, -
and then he went on with his dinner.
Most persons, this lady thought, after
committing such solecism would have
been covered with confusion and profuse
in apologies. Gilmer Speed in
