Opposition to crime is growing fast
in the mountains of Kentucky, notes
the Louisville Courier-J Journal. The
Jackson (Breatbitt County, Hustler
says: "Word comes to us from every
direction of the revolution in the SEN
timent of the people of this section of
the mountains in regard to furnishing
criminals. A man told us this week
that he had been in eight counties
since the Fields-Adkins trial at Bar
louisville, and that the intense feel
ing against lawlessness was universal.
A gentleman who has been in Perry
Couaty much of the time in the past
six weeks told us that there would be
10 trouble to get jury in that coun-
ty to hang a man if he deserved it. In
the counties where lawlessness has
been worst this feeling is greatest.
The revolt from the state of terror and
death will sweep a number OF men
into the State Prison and some into
their graves. Woe to the despera.

race is run. The grand .uries are do

stone-paved dairy, where pans o.
milk and cream were ranged in or
derly array; great stone pots stood
under the shelves, and blue-painted
churn was already placed on the table
for service.
Mr.. Bellenden was Justly proud of
his dairy. Not chance guest came
to the house but was invited down to
see it; not housekeeper in the
neightorhood but secretly envied its
many conveniences and exquisite
neatness.
"And it isn't the dairy alone" tri.
umphantly remarked Seth Bellenden.
And you may go through the house
from garret to cellar, and you will
never find speck of dust or O stain
of rust. There never was such q
housekeeper as my wife"
Mrs. Bellenden was yonng, too
scarcely three-and-twenty. She had
been the daughter of retired army
officer, delicately reared and quite ig-
norant of all the machinery of domes.

'1t's very strange" Lucy had writ
ten to her father. "The farm is
beautiful. You never saw such mon
strous old buttonball trees, nor such
superb roses, and the meadows are
full Of clover and the strawberries
shine like jewels on tho sunny hill
sides. But nobody sketches or reads.

and no one ever heard of Dore or Mil
lais. All they think of is how many
dozens of eggs the hens lay, and how
many cheeses they can make in year.
And the woman who has new re-
ceipt for waflles, or a new pattern Tor
n horrible thing that they call crazy
quilts, is the leader in society"
But presently young Mrs. Bellenden
herself caught the fever and became a
model housewife. Example is all
powerful, and Lucy began to believe
that the whole end and aim OF life was
domestic thrift, money-saving and the
threadmill of work.
"My dear," said Seth, "if you
thought you could get along without
Hepsy, the maid, 1 might be able to
afford that new reaper before the oat
crop comes in"
"Pll try" said Lucy.
And after that she rose before day
break and worked later into the night
than ever.
"What is the matter with your
hands, LucyP" Seth asked one day.
'They are not SO white and beautiful
rs they used to be"
Lucy colored as she glanced down
at the members in question.

said she.
And then she took to wearing old

one day remarked.

asked his wife.
Seth laughed-a short laugh.
'What do you think Mrs. Higgin-
botham has done?" said he. ''She
ripped up her husbands old suit aud
cut a pattern by it, aud made a new
one, and entirely saved him ten dol
lars !"

"we must take means at once to stop

Got a Kick Coming.

Mr.. Felix Greenwood returned
yesterday from Houston, where he
was taken as an attached witness
by Deputy Sheriff Chas. Schreiner.
MIR. Greenwood is justly indignant
at the arbitrary action OF Judge
Gavin, of Houston, in refusing to
allow him mileage for the return
railroad trip from Houston, es-
pecially as it places an unnecessary
and Improbable hardship upon
him. This is the second time he
has been so attached in the same
case and each time been compelled
to "dig up" for his return fare. The
worst part of it is that Sheriff Erich
son, of Houston, says every county
where he takes attached witnesses,
always allows the return fare.

There is little doubt that an immense
number of persons habitually sleep on
the left side, and those who do so can
never it is said, be strictly healthy. 1t
is the most prolific cause of nightmare,
and also of the unpleasant taste in the
mouth on arising in the morning. All
food enters and leaves the stomach on
the right side, and hence sleeping ON the
left side soon after eating involves a sort
of pumping operation which is any
thing but conducive to sound repose.
The action of the heart is also seriously
interfered with and the lungs unduly
compressed Hence it is best to cultivate
the habit of always sleeping on the right
side, although Sandow and other strong
men are said to invariably sleep on their
backs. -Philadelphi Times.

CIGARETTES AND THE TEETH.
A Dentist Says the Nerves In Them Arc
Killed by Nicotine Poisoning.

There is one bad result of constant
cigarette smoking that very few people
know anything about" said a Brooklyn
dentist The result itself has been APP
parent to me and to all dentists for a
long time, but the cause has been a mys-
terry until very recently. For years the
nerves of teeth in every other way per-
feet have been found dead. A careful
examination of a dead nerve found in
an unexposed tooth recently revealed the
fact that it had been poisoned by nico-
tine, and thereby the mystery referred
to was solved Nicotine poisoning from
cigarette smoking is killing the nerves
in the teeth of smokers. 1t is most
serious state of affairs, although most
people will not understand. They think
a dead tooth is as good as a live one.
They will find their mistake some day.
"A young woman whom have Known

and wanted a tooth attended to. /
worked on the tooth some time, and

she never made a sound, and naturally
concluded that the nerve of the tooth
was dead. 1t surprised me because the
tooth was good one and the nerve I'M
exposed. Well, / extracted the nerve
and the minute saw it l knew what
was the trouble.
" DO you want live nerve left in
your head?' l asked.
" Why, of course, she replied.
" Then stop smoking cigarettes,
said.
" Why, doctor, what do you mean
she began. Then she put on a great
show of Indignation.
My dear young lady l said,
what's the use of talking so? I'm a
dental surgeon and know thing when
see it. You have been smoking ciga-
rettes for long time, and my advice
was given i'll perfectly friendly spirit.
Well, she collapsed then, acknowledged
the truth of what ! had said, and that
ended it, don't think that cigarette
smokers figure this result of nicotine
poisoning in with the many other in
furious effects of the weed, but to my
mind it is the most dangerous of all. -
