DESPITE the saying that
there is nothing new under
the sun, the project OF reach
ing the North Pole by balloon
conceived by Swedish engi-
neer, Mr.. Andree, has all the
charm of novelty. Under its
aspect OF daring adventure,
also, it appeals as strongly to
the Imagination as the plan
embodied by Jules Verne in
one OF his wondrouS romances.

Colorado Lab0rers Lodge.
From the New York Sun.
when I left the Colorado mountains,
the first week in December" said west
ern engineer, "thc SHOWS had whitened tho
valleys and freezing weather had set in.
Some of the mines In the new district had
shut down, but others were working. At
one place where a considerable amount of
rock blasting and grading was going or
l was interested to observe the devices of
the labOrers in the way of making homes
for themselves during their stay Most of
the men ate at the boarding house. but
1t was not large enough to accommodate
more than half of their number as lodg-
erS.
Some of those who had to provide their
new quarters had built camps of small
logs chinked with mud and moss and roof
ed with canvas. Others had made their
habitations by digging into the side of an
almost perpendicular clay bank near the
work, excavations large enough for one
man to sleep and cook in A gunnysack
or blanket hung at the entrance served
as door, and tiny fireplace of stone or
hammered-out sheet iron set in the side
of the excavation, with a hole leading
perpendicularly up to the surface and sur
mounted by a powder key for chimney,
abundantly warmed these queer little cave
houses. The smoke curling upward at
morning and evening from these invisible
dormitories was highly suggestive of mimic
volcanoes"

Protecting Children's Feet.

From the New York Times.
my children frequently go through an
entire winter without the sign of a cold. -
said a mother the other day. land I at
tribute their immunity largely to my in
sistence that they shall not run about in
their bare feet. All children like to do
this, both at night after they are ready for
bed, and in the morning before they are
dressed. Few things are more directly con-
ducive to a cold than this chilling of the
feet, and to guard against it provide the
crocheted bed room slippers for each child.
1t took vigilance and constant reiteratlon
to teach them to wear them every time
their shoes and stockings were dotted. but
they are trained now, and they slip their
bare feet into the Horsted shoes instinct
lively and invariably. Warm and dry feet
in winter are the best preventive Of colds
that has been yet found.

Grating Baker, but suspending Detectives
Wright, Looney and Casson. and calling on

This report is signed by all six members
Of the special committee, and Is almost
certain to be adopted by the general coun-
Gil at Its next meeting, in which case,
startling developments are looked for.
simultaneously with the recommendation
for the suspension of the detectives, the
board of health removed Sanitary Inspec-

Mr.. Howells and scores Of others. No
author is too we'll known, none too little
known, to escape his saving scissors.
But the autograph hunting
That is where my friend is unique. Years
ago it occurred happily to his quick wits
that a book would be more interesting for
the present and more valuable hereafter II
work on this idea. Mr.. Howells spent a
winter in Washington and he took Their
Wedding Journey to him for his auto
graph on the fly leaf. 1t was forthcoming
without a murmur. Indeed, there was
twinkle of delight around the little fat
mans eyes as he wrote his name. To a
friend IN Hartford he sent Uncle Toms
Cabin, with the request that Mrs. stowe
be asked to write in 1t. After many weeks
the book, with the autograph returned. In
the same way William Blacks name was
secured. To consul at Apfa the ny lear
of Treasure Island was sent, and Steven
sons name came back on 1t. One or the
most interesting autographs In my friend
library Is that Of Bancroft. With the first
volume of the history in his hand our
name seeker called on the venerable schoi-
ar few years before his death, and made
known his desire for his signature. he
also told him that he intended to give his
set of Bancroft to his boy when he was
old enough to go to college. for he could
have no better foundation for a library.
The idea pleased the old scholar and ne
ransacked his library for good quotation
from Goethe and addressed nice little
note to the boy who might some day own
the book. and the fly leaf of that particu-
lar volume Of Bancroft bears as interesting
an autograph as was ever written.

DR.. John A. Snowden, who is q
Democratic candidate for the legis.
lature from Clark county, tells in
o card what he will attempt to dc
if sent to Frankfort: One of the
first measures we wish to have the
honor of presenting to the. next
legislature" he says, "is an amend
ment TO the constitution providing
for quadrennial instead Of biennial
sessions of the legislature. We are
mott suffering SO much for the
enactment of new laws as we are
from the proper execution of laws
already existing. It is not our
province or desire to criticise our
former legislatures, but like all
other human institutions, they
have not been models of wisdom
and perfection; and while it is not
true in whole it is in part, that
one legislature spends a great deal
Of time IN repeating or altering the
laws passed by its predecessor, ]
think we can we'll afford to dis
pense with this biennial luxury
and thus save the state every four
years more than one hundred thou
sand dollars Of hard-earned money.
The governor has and could still
retain the prerogatiye of converting
the body to meet any emergency
requiring prompt and immediate
legislation

state and ne give it to our readers
with our hearty endorsement
We must make better roads il We
expect to develop this great coun-
try. /" There is millions in it:
The present condition Of the
roads in this county suggests the
need OF o better system or more
vigorous management Of the pres
emit onSs The indifference on this
subject by those most directly in
serested would be incomprehensi-
Bile in any other civilized country
than this. Why any people should
becontent to wallow along through
mud and mire, and remain poor
and miserable ali their lives is ex-
piainable upon no other theory
than that OF g lack of appreciation
Of the advantages which civilian
ton affords. 1t would almost
seem that some of cur ancestors
must have caught some of the
spirit or rather the lack Of spirit,
81 the aborigines. All that terri
tory which forms the great and
prosperous states Of the northwest,
less than . hundred years ago was
occupied by . people who made
mo advancement and opposed at
every step the march Of improve

TO q Lexington Leader man w.
ID. Il. Walbridge, The New York
railroad magnate and capitalist,
stated that it was certain that the
road from Walnut Grave Morgan
county coal mines will be built
to tap the Lexington & Eastern
somewhere along tho fine near
Bcattyville.
"I have been up the road, !" he
said, aand have seen the country
for myself. Think the coal fields
in and around Walnut Grove, Nor
gan county, are the richest known
to miners. The coal to be obtained
there is of the finest quality
Then the timber supply is also
abundant.
"The road from Walnut Grove
by way Of Hazel Green to Torrent
will open up rich country and
this will certainly benefit Lexing-
ton. T II ar E4
~As to the other two routes
they have been surveyed and found
impracticable. The country from
Walnut Grove to Frenchburg is
the toughest 1 ever saw, The
people in Morgan county have
failed to give the proper encour-
agement TO our enterprise, and
the road is not liable to go their
way. / at first had serious ideas
Of building direct to Morehead.
"The people took the matter up
and were enthusiastic for time.
Later, however, they decided that
the road was going to be built
anyway, and they might as we'll
make all they could out of it.
Consequently We were unable to
obtain more than one-third of the
right Of way. The road won't be
built to MoreheaG.n .EEl
Mr.. Walbridge said he was much
pleased with the little town Of
Campton, and gratified at the way
il which the Hazei Green people
have taken hold Of the enterprise.

that our people are SO bad as this,
but there are some instances where
the tendency seems almost as
strong IN one direction az the other.
People who refuse to lend their
sanction and support to education
and Improvement are only q few
degrees removed from the Indian,
and would, if left to themselves,
degenerate into a state bordering
on barbarian in generation or
twos SCivilized people the world
over have schools, churches, news
papers, roads; and the degree Of
suppors these receive IL an uner-
ring indication as to the character
of the civilization. Bsrbarians
have none of these--don't want
any, in fact, for these are the
eternal foes of Incidence, poverty
and savagery.''--Jackson Hustler.
