Our special messer ger from tele-
graphic communications reports
that at 9 o'clock Wednesday, the
returns show the state Democratic
ticket elected BY five to ten thous-
and majority with exception of
Hardin for governor, which race
il is believed is very doubtful.
Bradley and Hardin both claim
to have won by about.a thousand
votes each and the best informa-
ton to be had says that it will
probably require an official count
ito decide the race. Gen Hardin is
Ii. good spirits and says he has a
small majority. Green Kellar, for
railroad commissioner, is defeated
by three to Eve thousand. Judge
Swango, lit is thought, leads the
Democratic ticket by a few lengths,
owing to an increased vote in the
mountains.
Hon. J. c. Lykins received a
majority of 206 in Morgan and
100 in Wolfe, making a total of
1926 in the district. Hardin car
ried the district by AIS. VIM.
Burch, Independent, received about
a hundred votes in each county,
his support coming from Clifty,
Eel and Salem.
Frank Horton is elected by 100.
Menefee gave Tabor a small ma
iority, but Montgomery voted
straight for Horton.
Bailey is elected by 200 or there
abouts. Magoffin gave him 402
majority and the Democratic vote
in Breathitt was light.
Bath and Rowan lose their rep
1esenta ton to the RAIDS as we'll as
their state senator.
Powell and Estill follow their
example and have gone the way
of Wards ducks"
All in all, this state has lost a
big vote due to the "stoy-at-homes"
who. don't like Hardin's views on
the money question.

Economy Of a Milk Diet.

Aside from the physiological con-
siderations the economy ola milk diet
is not the least among its advantages,
as compared with beef. In the for
mer there is no bone, as in meat, nor
waste in trimmings, and, though the
amount of bone in meat varies it is
rarely less than eight per cent. tin
the neck and brisket of beef, for in
stance, it is about ten per cent, while
in the shins and legs it amounts to
one-third or even one-half the total
weight. Again, milk requires no
cooking, hence is always ready for
consumption at a moments notice,
and without being subjected to waste
and shrinkage. The ordinary per.
centage of loss in boiling beef is TWEEN
ty per cent; IN baking. t~wenty-nine
per cent, and the roasting process in
wolves fully thirty-one per cent. ; true
this loss arises partly from the evapo
ration of water, as we'll as the melting
down and escape of fat, and tn
destructive action OF heat-whateve'
loss, however, is thus dccasioned, ha
no counterpart in milk Boston Oul

He Would Sell Himself for His Family.

A most extraordinary incident, in
dicative, no doubt, of the desperate
state of mind to which many have
been reduced by the prevailing hard
times, occurred at Emergency Hos
pital. A man about forty-fve years
of age called OF the hospital and asked
to see the superintendent or physician
in charge. When that functionary
was called and inquired the strangers
business, the man said:
"My name is Albert Stoner. I am
6 painter by trade, and have a family
dependent on me at Flint. have been
out of work for a long time, though I
have sought it constantly and done
anything and everything that was Of
fered to me, which was very little.
My family are now reduced to very
straitened circumstances, and | want
to sell you my body for S25 for dis
secting purposes"
The doctor was astonished at the
novelty Of the proposition, and said
facetiously that the hospital might
have to wait q good while before the
goods we're delivered.
"Not at ALL" replied Mr.. Stoner.
'sJust as soon as l find that the money
has reached my family I will commit
suicide and leave al order that my
body be given to you"
If the doctor had been astonished
before, he was much more SO at the
last remark of Mr.. Stoner, and began
to suspect hat he was dealing with a
l%unatic. But though he applied the
usual tests in the long conversation
which followed, he was unable to de-
tect the slightest ALTERATION OF mind,
except that Mr.. Stoner had brooded
SO long over his inability to provide
his family with the, necessities of life
that he had become desperate, and had
lost sight of the fact that he was ask
ing the doctor to become q murderer

The Poisoning Works,

The Chancellor of the State Uni.
versity of Kansas in his recent report
on the results of his scheme for ex.
terminating chinch bugs by turning
loose among them bugs infected with
a dangerous and contagious disease,
shows that in two-thirds of the cases
the plan worked to admiration. Last
year he sent out 1900 packages of dis
eased bugs to various farmers, who
turned them loose on their farms. He
says that the only difficulty in the
way of the entire determination of the
pests is that many of the farmers of
the State will not take the trouble to
use the remedy, and SO n farm from
which the chinch bugs are cleaned out
is soon overrun with them again from
the neighboring farms. New Orleans

Greatest Refrigerator, in the World.

Perhaps the greatest refrigerator in
the world is that in the Royal Institu-
ton, London, where Professor Dewar
has been giving his lectures to young
people. The professor has been show
ing the youngsters some wonderful
things, among others liquefed air.
To produce liquefed air you must
have a temperature of something like
$40 degrees below zero, which ought
to be cold enough for even the polar
bears at the Zoo. One sharp young.
ster asked the professor what it cost
to liquefy air, but the professor appar-
entity was afraid to answer him, 81
though the cost has not been betrayed
by the institution itself, but by scme
generous friends of science. Ire
mendous exhausting engines and
massive air-compressing machines are
used. The color of liquid air is a pale
blue, and when a drop of it is put on
the surface of water, it dances around
like a drop of water on a red-hot iron,
because the surface of the water is
much hotter than red-hot iron COM
pared to the temperature of the ique-
fed air. Finally, the drop of air
freezes a little cup of ice in the water,
but it o e%vaporates, as the Ice is so
hot that it causes the drop to boil.
Liquid air is not a handy thing to
carry around in the vest pocket. It
will remain liquid for forty hours if
great precautions are taken. 1t must
be put in a Theoretically sealed bottle,
which is inclosed in smother vessel, SO
that the air surrounding the inner
bottle is completely exhausted; the
inner vessel must also have a coating
of mercury around itto.form a mirror,
SO that any radiant heat will be re
hected back. Oxygen, when liquified,
seems to lose all its properties of pro
noting combustion. At such q tenn
perature as $50 degrees below e al
chemical action seems to stop; it is a
"freeze out" as it might be termed.

hollow sphere of aluminium supported

When Their Sting is Fatal.

A Vienna scientist has made a series
Of interesting experiments with the
virus of such insects rs bees and wasps,
and comes to the conclusions that the
effectiveness of the irritating sub
stance depends largely upon the mood
of the insect. A drop of the fluid
taken from the poison-bag Of a dead
hornet, for instance, produces a slight
itching, but nothing resembling the
inflammation caused by a hornets sting
with a much smaller quantity OF the
same virus. This theory is supported
by the curious fact that under the in
iuence, of rage the saliva OF all sorts
of otherwise harmless animals can be-
come virulent enough to produce
alarming and wen fatal symptoms.
Death by blood poisoning has more
than once resulted from the bite OF g
wounded squirrel, q chipmhnk or q
Gagged cat.-American Register.

In O Peanut Factory.

When the peanut arrives at tho
factory they are rough and earth
stained, and of all sizes and qualities,
iumbled together. The bags are first
taken up by iron arms projecting IRON
an endless chain to the fifth story OF
the factory. Here they are weighed
and emptied into large bins. From
these bins they fall to tho next story,
into large cylinders, fourteen feet
long, which %revolve rapidly, and by
friction the nuts are cleaned from the
earth which clings to them, and
polished, SO that they come out white
and glistening.
From this story the nuts fall through
shoots to the third and most interest
ing floor. Imagine row of long,
narrow tables, each divided lengthwise
into three sections by thin, inch-high
strips of wood. These strips also sur
round the edge of the table. Each Of
these sections is foored with a strip
of heavy white canvas, which moves
necessarily from the mouth of the
shoot to on opening leading down be-
low at the further end of the table.
These slowly moving canvas bands,
about a foot wide, are called the ''pick-
ing aprons"
Upon the outer aprons of each table
dribbles down from the shoota slender
stream of peanuts, and on each side OF
the table, s o close together as scarcely
to have ''elbow room," stand rows OF
negro girls and women picking outth
inferior peanuts as they pass and
throwing them into the central Sec
ton. So fast do their hands move Mt
this work that one cannot see what
they are doing till they cast a handful
of nuts into the middle division. By
the time q nut has passed the sharp
eyes and quick hands of eight or ten
pickers one may be quite certain that
it is o frst-class article, fit for the
final plunge down two stories into a
bag which shall presently be marked
with a brand which will command for
it the highest market price.
The peanuts from the central aprons
foil only to the second story, where
they undergo yet another picking over
on similar tables, the best of these the
second grade. The third grade of
peanuts, or what remains after the
second picking, is then turned into a
machine which brushes the shells and
separates them from the kernels.
These are sold to the manufacturers oil
candy, while. the shells are ground up
and used for horse bedding. So no
part of this little fruit, vegetable, OF
nut, whichever it may turn out to be,
is finally wasted, but all erves some
useful purpose. Blue and Gray.

Heat Produces Cold.

It is o rather curious fact that it
takes heat to produce cold. Twenty
million tons of coal will make 200,-
600, 900 tons of ice. A%lecturer of the
Institute of Civil Engineers the other
day gave me some interesting facts
about artificial refrigerators. He
claims that English engineers have not
been able to produce as good n refrig-
orator a. foreigners, and that the
chief machines now in use are of
foreign make. One firm alone since
1884 has made owe 500 ton" of ice a
day. The number of machines at
present in use can make about 200,-
600, 900 tons of ice in q year, and by
means of refrigerators and cold air
machines $500, 600 sheep were
brought to England in a frozen state
from New Zealand last year.-San
Francisco Examiner.
