SIx Kentucky Marriayes.

At the village of Roley one day not long ago there were six couples mar ried. In the morning there was a, triple wedding in the church. In the after. noon three other couples were welded within an hour of each other at the homes of the respective brides. All six of the couples were entertained at the home of Uncle Bob Tucker, who, after the different marriages, was closely re- lated to all the principals thereto. Now come some of the singular features of the case. Uncle Bob, before the we'd ding, had in the lot of 12 individuals a daughter, a son, three granddaughters. one niece and one nephew. In the 12 there were a brother and sister, two sisters, two brothers, three cousins, two uncles, an aunt, four nieces and two nephews and yet no one of the 12 per sons married any one related to him or herself. Another funny feature is that before the weddings there were two named Hopkins, two Dunbars, two Chelfs, two Fuckers, two McWhorters, one Pendleton and one Hood. After the omelet was done, the Dunbars and Hop kinses had gained two, the Pendletons, Chelfs and McWhorters had been ex- terminated, the Hoods had been in creased by one, and the Fuckers had held their ground Ever since the we'd ding day the gossips have been figuring on the probable kinship between the several brides and grooms and their mu- tual relative Uncle Bob Tucker-Co- lumbus (Ky.)

Wars Growing Shorter.

With the exception of the Franco Prussian war, the greatest war which Europe has seen since the days of Napo- leon W as the Crimean-war, which took place more than 40 years ago and lasted about two years. The campaigns of Ma poleon, of course, while they were con- sidered short as compared with some previous wars in Europe, were certainly long as compared with the wars of the past few decades. A distinct movement in the direction of the shorter duration of wars is to be noticed in the past few centuries.
 The campaign in the Spanish Neither lands lasted 42 years. Then followed the thirty years war ill Europe, ending ill the peace of Westphalia. Civil war in England lasted from 1642 to 1860, all though hostilities were not in progress all that time. The wars of the Spanish succession, of the Austrian succession, the Swedish Russian war and the Seven Years war followed, averaging about ten years apiece. The French and the American revolutions averaged about seven years apiece. The Napoleonic campaigns covered nearly 1 5 years. The Crimean war lasted from 1854 to 1856. In the war of the rebellion, in this coun- try, the world saw the latest war which extended over four years of time
 Since 1865, with the general intro duotion of the telegraph, the electric cable and the msdern system of rail ways, war has become matter of few months at most In 1866 Prussia defeated Austria in seven weeks. Prus- sia defeated France in about two months. The war between Russia and Turkey began in April, 1877, and was practically finished by the close of that year. The war between China and Japan began about midsummer, 1894, and ended in March, 1895. The present war between Turkey and Greece seems to be practically ended in about four weeks from the outbreak of formal hostilities It seems to be shown by experience that two important civilized nations in these days of telegraph and railway cannot conduct wars for any length of time un- less the contending countries are sepa- rated by the ocean or some other natural rier.-Boston Advertiser

There Is more Catarrh is this section of the country than all other diseases put together and until the last few years was supposed to be incurable. For a great many years doc- tors pronounced it a local disease and pre- scribed local remedies, and by constantly fail- ing to cure with local treatment, pronounced it incurable. Science has proven catarrh to be a constitutional disease and therefore re- quires constitutional treatment. Halls Ca- Co.,, Toledo, Ohio, is the only constitutional cure on the market. It is taken internally in doses from 10 drops to teaspoonful. It acts directly on the blood and mucous surfaces of the system. They offer one hundred dollars for any case it fails to cure.

But, Lucy" said the teacher, "don't you see that there would be three fami- lies, and they would each move into house, and that would be three houses, so the sentence would be right?" "Yes," said Lucy, "but there might be three floors in one house, and the families would all move into the same house. " And the teacher could not say that Lucy was not right. New York Times.
