MAY ELECT CARLISLE,

Senatorial Situation in Kentucky Is Much
Mixed.
WASHINGTON, Nov. ia special dis
patch fir ON Frankfort, KY, says that
the candidacy of Governor Bradley for
the United States senate has led the
followers of his enemy, w. Godfrey
Hunter, also q Republican candidate,
to seek an alliance with the sound
money Democrats to elect Secretary
Carlisle. The election Of Carlisle is by
no means impossible. While the Re-
publicans have majority of the legis-
lature on joint ballot, it is an open
secret that one of their members is
pledged to Carlisle. The Bradley peo-
pie say, however, that if the Hunter
forces go to Carlisle, the Blackburn
men will vote for Bradley and elect
him.

Captain Fischer sought assistance. An

the bay. The British flag was sent
swinging out upside down and the
Minneapolis lookout saw the signal Of
distress. Captain Fischer told his

all the assistance you want. You'll
take those refugees safely out Of this

miles behind, but the captain had for
gotten his manifest. The Armenians

In League with Satan.

Almost every renowned man of an- tiquity in the Middle Ages was be- lieved to be in league with Satan. Prob ably the oldest legend of which the Faust legend Is continuous thread is that of Simon Magus. According to Justin, he was a native of Clifton, a village in Samaria; he was, no doubt, a man of great intellectual powers. He was the father of the school of the Gnostics. It is also reported of him that he could make himself invisible, that he could pass through flames un- harmed, could transpese matter, make gold, and exercise demons; in fact, he laid claim to all these powers, and his name as miracle worker lived through many centuries. Unusual &C., complishments, great eruditiOn, were attributed to the supernatural tnfu- ence, and the general disposition to superstitious assumption was strength ened on the one hand by dOgmatic af- firmation on the part of the church of the existence of a personal Satan, with his numerous household, and on the other hand by incorporating the magic arts among the practical sciences, of which astrology and alchemy occupied no mean part.

Gludness Comes

With a better understanding of the
 w transient nature of the many phys ical ills which vanish before proper eff forts-gentle efforts pleasant efforts rightly directed. There is comfort in the knowledge that so many forms of sickness are not due to any actual dis ease, but simply to constipated ccndi- ton of the system, which the pleasant family laxative, Syrup of Figs, prompt ly removes. That is why it is the only remedy with millions of families, and is everywhere esteemed so highly by all who value good health. Its beneficial effects are due to the fact, that it is the one remedy which promotes internal cleanliness, without facilitating the organs on which it acts Itis therefore all important, in order to get it's bene- ficial effects, to note when you pur- chase, that you have the genuine article, which is manufactured by the California Fig Syrup Co. only, and sold by all rep utable druggists.
 If in the enjoyment of good health, and the system is regular, then laxa- tives or other remedies are not needed. If afflicted with any actual disease, one may be commended to the most skillful physicians, but if in need of laxative, then one should have the best, and with the well-informede everywhere, Syrup of Figs stands highest and is most largely used and gives most general satisfaction.

Exit the Rlue Jacket.

A proportion of the blue jackets of any full-rigged ship were necessarily athletes. The Upper yardmen" in a line of battle ship or frigate were ex- ceptional men in this way, and much more so, perhaps just about the time that sail power was receiving its death warrant than ever before. These young men had to race aloft to nearly the highest points, at top speed eight or ten times a week wheE the ship was in harbor, to keep their heads and main tain their breath while holding on by "their eyelids," as the phrase goes, and manipulating with careful and meas ured order of action the various and intricate arrangements for Crossing" or sending down. the royal and top gallant yards. It was all done at full speed, for it was universally held that the upper yardmen gave a character to the whole ship; and that one which was foremost in this exercise was ever considered the smartest ship in the fleet. The upper yardmen were always the coming men. They had the most opportunities far distinguishing them selves, were the best known, and were most under the eye of the authorities. They developed great muscular power in chest, shoulders and arms. Their lower extremities suffered, and one always knew the men who had been upper yardmen by their tadpole-like ap- pearance when they were bathing.
 But in the modern steam line-of-battle ship and frigates these extremely ath- letic specimens formed very small minority of the ships company, and none of them could lose his turn at being upper yardmen so long as the ships reputation depended on the speed with which the upper yards were cross ed and sent down. In harbor the rest of the blue jackets had the handling of yards and sails for exercise once or twice week, but at sea the use of sails for propulsion grew less and less important, and most of the work aloft was more of an exerclse and less of 8 necessity.

COLORS IN BATTLE.
Why tho Soldiers In the English Army
 Are Arrayed In Scarlet.

Why tho Soldiers In the English Army 1 Are Arrayed In Scarlet. The scarlet uniform of the British in- fantry has been greatly criticised in re- cent years, chiefly on the ground that 1t exposes the men to needless danger by disclosing their whereabouts to the en- emy. The objection taken to the scarlet, however, is groundless, and scientific reasons are given why the prevailing color is for all purposes the most suit able that could be selected.
 In the first place, scarlet affords the best attalnable protection against the extremes of heat and cold to which sol diers are liable to be exposed. The darker the color protecting a warm body the more rapidly radiation proceeds. White would be the best color to reduce radia- tion to minimum, but white Is barred by other considerations, as are also all the grays Scarlet CT red comes midway between white and black or other dark colors, while with reference to protec- tion from the sun scarlet takes a far higher place than any of the blues, greens or drabs and other shades often used for military clothing.
 Yellow and orange are excluded be- cause these colors are particularly con- spicuous at a long distance. Although scarlet or red is more conspicuous than gray, when the sun shines directly on the troops it blurs on the sight and is consequently more difficult to hit.
 With existing rifles the actual result of fight is usually decided at dis tance just outside the effective range of the weapons. This distance lies between 500 and 800 yards Nearer than that it is impossible to close without replying to the enemy's fire, and as soon as the return fire whistles about the defend ers' heads the possibility of aiming rap idly and accurately decreases
 Therefore, from this point of view, it is unimportant whether the object to be hit is conspicuous or not, but from moral point of view it is a serious con- sideration. Within TOO yards each sub- sequent advance is conditioned by fire superiority already achieved, the de- lenders are shaken, the time for count ing heads is past, and the mental i'm pression conveyed by the sight of the assaulting troops becomes the main point.
 It is a distinct advantage that our men should bulk large in the decisive stages of an encounter, and there is no color which enables them to do this so effectively as scarlet. On the whole, therefore, every scientific consideration justifies the retention of scarlet as tho best uniform for our troops. ~-->
