This method of cooking is, as a rule,
confined to club houses, where large
open fires are accessible, but 1 assure
my readers that planked fish may be
served to perfection in the smallest
and most modest home in America
The peculiar favor impaired by the
heating plank makes the fish more de-
licious than when cooked in any other
way. If one has gas stove the method
is quite simple, but the oven OF a coal
range may also be used with success.
Secure a two-inch plank the size of
the oven, made from hard wood, oak
or hickory; when ready to use put it
in the oven until il is so hot that you
cannot bear your hand on Il for an
instant. Have the fish split down the
back; put In, skin down, on the hot
plank; dust with salt and pepper and
baste with melted butter. In an ordi-
nary coal stove, put 1t on the oven bot
tom, close the oven door and bake for
30 minutes, basting two or three times.
When the fish is done, take il from the
oven, garnish with parsley and lemon,
and send 1t to the table on the plank,
placed on a japanese laquer tray, Just
little larger than the plank. White
fish may be planked in the same way.

Simmer EurnIshinEs.

Physicians say that the fashion of
simplicity in summer homes is in direct
consonance with a craving cf human
nature. The heavy furnishings of win
ter drawing rooms and living-rooms are
distasteful for systematic causes when
the breath of July is over the land.
For this reason the summer housekeep-
ing should be simple. Pine floors, COW
cred here and there with rugs, wood
furniture with graceful curves but no
carving, plain, almost unpictured walls,
the thinnest draperies, if any at all, are
a positive remedial agent to the spirit
worn with the winter coI1plexity of
city residences as well as city life and
cares.-N. Y. Post.

Never Knew There Were ANY,

After the man who had just bought a
bicycle had got so that he could go
twice around the riding academy with
out falling off. the instructor suggested
that it was important that he should
learn the rules of the road.
Learn the what?" he exclaimed.
''Rules of the road" repeated the in
structor.
"Are there any such rules for BIZ
cyclists?" demanded the novice.
Certainly" answered the instructor.
The man with the new bicycle began
to get mad.
That's just my luck" he said. Here
I've been dodging bicycles that were
trying to occupy both sides of the road
at once for two or three years, and do
ing my best to keep out of the way of
people of both sexes, who would not rec
ognize law if they were introduced to
II after they once get astride of wheel,
and when finally made up my mind TO
learn TO ride the bicycle because I've
never seen a man on a wheel who fol-
lowed any rules at all, I'm told that
must learn the rules of the road. When
did they adopt these rules-yesterday
or to-day ?'-Chicago Post.

THE SKIN AND DIGESTION.
Cutaneous Ailments Spring from the
stomach.

Stoh1ch-
Several skin diseases occur IN connec-
ton with digestive disturbances, and,
in fact, appear to be largely caused by
them.
This is particularly true of acne, a
disease in which the sebaceous glands
of the skin are infiamed, and which is
characterized by the formation of pim-
Piles, generally upon the face and shoul-
ders. The disease occurs mostly in
young adults, and is always associated
with disturbance of the digestive or
gans. Dyspepsia and constipation are
invariably present, and so long as they
continue the condition of the skin does
not improve.
The diseased condition of the skin
known as 'hives," or "nettle-rash," as
also associated with disturbance in the
alimentary canal. By far the most
common cause of this affection is the
presence in the stomach or intestines
of some irritating article of food.
Indigestion not infrequently occurs
in connection with eczema, or salt
rheum." In infants, particularly, di-
gestive disturbances due to improper
feeding often leads to the development
of eczema.
A common form of this disease oc-
ours in infants who are well nourished
and unusually fat, and is character
lied by the appearance upon the skin of
red patches covered entirely or in part
with a yellowish crust. This affection
results from a lowered state of the vi
tality of the skin, caused by en- over
taxed digestion.
The eczema which occurs in adults,
though perhaps less often caused by
digestive disturbances, is certainly ag-
gravated by them, and for this reason
persons who are subject to eczema are
advised to abstain from food that is
stimulating and difficult to digest.
indigestion and constipation are fire.
quently associated with an itching of
the skin of the entire body, an affec-
ton which sometimes attacks middle
aged persons.
The treatment of all such skin dis
eases should include measures looking
to healthy digestion-a careful diet
and regularity in the action of the
bowels. These, with appropriate ex-
ternal treatment, will restore the skin
to healthy condition.-Youth's Com
panion.

HUMOR FROM OHIO.
A Unique Set of Rules in n Buckeye
Hotel.

They were sitting in the lobby at
Murphy's, talking about the striking
peculiarities of some of the hotels they
had been up against in the course of
their travels.
In the party were n red-headed drum
mer from Arkansas, a travelling rail-
road man and a spindle-shanked man
who sells oil out of Pittsburgh. The
deal got around 10 the man from Ar
kansas, and what he had to say was
this:
I've had to stand for some queer
rules and regulations in my time, but
the most unique code of rules govern
ing a hotel 1 ever had sprung on me
was at the Tallewanda hotel, in Col
lege Corner, o. / remember each one
of them distinctly to this day. They
were posted in this order:
81. Board, $50 per week, meals extra.
so. Breakfast at five, dinner at six,
supper at seven.
SO. Guests are requested not to speak
TO the dumb waiter.
a. Guests willing to get up without
being called can have self-raising flour
for supper.
So. The hotel is surrounded by a
beautiful cemetery. Hearses to hire, 25
cents day.
&c. Guests wishing to do little
driving will find hammer and nails
in the closet.
"7. If your room gets too warm open
the window and see the fire escape.
"s. If you are fond of athletics and
like good jumping lift the mattress and
see the bed spring.
80 If your lamp goes out take a
feather out of the pillow; that's light
enough for any room.
40. Anyone troubled with night
mare will find a halter on the bedpost.
al. Don't pick a quarrel with the
clerk. His brother is the chief of police
and his father the mayor of the town.
"12. Don't worry about paying your
bill The house is supported by its
foundation."-N Y. Herald

THE CLEANEST CITIES.
New York and Toronto Have Cleal
est Streets on the Continent.

New York and Toronto Have Clean
est Streets on the Continent.
The two cleanest cities on the CONT
nent to-day are Toronto and New York,
and they are cleaned by direct labor.
New York not only employs and thus
| directs all its street cleaning and gar
bage dispatch forces, but it has an
organized department with an ade-
quate and properly adjusted equipment
of horses, carts, brooms, stables and
stations, and it pays its men two dol
lars day and upward for eight hours
work. To be sure, il has had Col.
Waring, but had Col. Waring been a
contractor or a contractors superin-
tendent the metropolis would not have
been the clean city it is to-day. 1t is
by the method of direct labor under
model conditions of employment that
this first worthy result of the kind
in large American city has been
achieved.
Toronto, the other of these two ex-
emplary cities, has gone even further
than New York in eliminating the con-
tractor. In this enterprising Canadian
town, with its 100000 people, Street
Commissioner Jones has, during the
last seven years, entirely revolutionized
the care of the streets of the city. He
has not only organized the execution
of this work under a distinct depart
ment, but out of the margin thus saved
from the annual appropriations for car
ing for the streets he has actually built
and equipped modest but complete set
of workshops, where the entire con-
struction and repair work of the de-
partment is executed.
Not only are the sprinklers, rotary
sweepers, automatic loading carts and
snow scrapers, each after special pat
tern devised by the commissioner or un-
der his direction, built in these shops,
but even the harnesses are made there,
the horses are shod there, and 1t is
the truthful boast of the commission
er that every article of manufacture
used by the department is produced
from the raw material in these shops.
1t is exceedingly refreshing to find
there inventive genius constantly
brought to bear to produce appliances,
not for sale in the general market,
and hence OF that crude adjustment
which can be used anywhere, but ap-
pliances precisely adapted to the par
ticular needs of Toronto, with its own
climate, soil, street mileage and pave
ments.-Review of Reviews.

THE SULTAN A BAD DEBTOR.
How He Made an American Lumber Firm
Wait for Its Pay.

How He Made an American Lumber Firm
Wait for Its Pay.
4 certain lumber firm of this city
more than two years ago shipped to
the sultan of Turkey several thousand
dollars worth of its most valuable
goods. The order included mahogany
and ebony logs of unusual size and of
the finest coloring and general quality
that could be obtained. The payment,
or rather the promise to pay, was in
the shape of draft on the sultan, the
money to be forthcoming upon the
arrival of the logs at Constantinople.
Naturally the American firm regarded
the imperial treasury of Turkey as
good for the price of shipment Of
lumber.
In due time the mahogany and the
ebony reached the Golden Horn and the
Mediterranean Steamship company
sent in 10 the shippers gentle remind
er that the settlement OF freight
charges was in order. But meanwhile
nothing had been heard from the sui
tan or his agents and the New York
lumber dealers did not fancy being
held responsible for charges upon
goods which were not yet paid for.
Cable dispatches and letters were sent
to the porte, but the Sick Man of Eu-
rope" was apparently too busy attend
ing to his Armenian subjects to be able
to look after such trifles as settling
with American creditors. No satisfac
tory response of any sort could be OBJ
tanned.
Then the lumber firm made applica.
ton TO Mavroyeni Bey, at that time
the Turkish minister at Washington.
He promised TO see that his sovereign
paid the bill without further delay,
and the hopes of the dealers were again
raised. But not even Mavroyeni Bey
was able to open the sultan's purse
strings. The Armenian question still
absorbed his attention. Mavroyeni
Bev was recalled without having ac-
complished this bit OF work. The firm
had a lawyer working on the case, but
had for months practically abandoned
all idea of getting the money.
On the last day of October, things
took q most unexpected and joyful
turn. Influenced afar off, il may be,
by the prevailing American sentiment
in favor of paying ones debts hon
estly, about noon on that day word was
sent to the firm that the draft had been
maid. Since then the actual money
las been received.
The moral of the transaction would
seem to be that, if you have business
dealings with Abdul Hamid IL, you
must be content to wait awhile for
YOUR money, he being a slew debtor,
but one who will come around at last
if you give him plenty of time.-N. Y.

Constitutional Amendment.

THE Constitutional Amendment to be
voted on Tuesday is of great Importance
to cities but of little interest to those
voters who do not live in cities. The
purpose of it is simply to give to munic-
qualities the right of local self control
in the matter of municipal taxation for
municipal purposes. This does not affet
County or State taxation, or the tax that
cities pay to County or State, but only
gives to cities the right to determine
for themselves how they shall raise the
money necessary to pay municipal ex-
penses. The question is one of great i'm
portance to cities and the amendment
should carry by tremendous majority.
We call the attention of the votes Of
Paris and Bourbon County to the i'm
portance of this amendment and urge
that Bourbon give large majority in
favor of it. Indeed we can see no reason
why any person who votes on this mat
ter should not vote for the amendment.

the first vote you cast. Then if you dc
not intend to vote for the straight ticket
be sure to pick ont the Sound Money
men and put your stamp in the squares
opposite their names. Dudley and

good majorities. We ask all Sound
Money Democrats not to forget any of
these candidates, and, to be certain that
your vote will be counted, mark in the
