Blow out cases every day. This will
preserve type, health, and is clean.
Never make hap-hazard bids. Figure
carefully on every job received.
Have place for shooting stick and
malet aud see that they are kept in
place.
You cannot do good work il you use
the same type for printing books, news.

Wet paper is Just as good as plaster for
justifyin forms; besides it is cleaner and
lees expensive.
Discard and dispose OF every font Of
Anticipated, WORKOUT letter, and replace
with new and modern faces.
Make compositors number their gal
leys as well as their "takes." This will
avoid much confusion and many mis-
takes.
Study the tastes of your patrons and
strive 10 please them. In this way yor
will hold your customers and make

Types Of Kentucky Saddle Horses.

Kentuckians have bred saddle hOr
ses for beauty and charm, and have
got them There is a charm about
the Kentucky horse that no other
American horse has. No other ami
mails | have ever met in the country
exist in the memory with quite the
fascination of certain horses / have
seen in Kentucky. There was, for
instance, a few miles from Lexington,
a roam GelGing that had this fascina-
ton to a high degree. He had the
graceful Kentucky characteristics
and yet with difference. His
beauty appeared particularly in the
shape of the rump and in the carri-
age of the tail, There was an ex-
quisite trick IN the conformation of
the quarters. Charming and very
Kentucky" you said, as you looked
at them, and yet you felt that you
ha never seen quite that before. 1t
was perhaps a bold flight nearer the
Kentucky ideal than you had ever
seen. This quality of the figure was
certainly due to an infusion of the
Denmark grace. The tail was the
other chief beauty. There was an
airy grace in the carriage Of it which
reminded you of the fortunate work
of some architect of genius. What
have you done to him ?r said, refer
ring to the graceful lightness with
which the tail was held. Nothing"
said the farmer; las you drive out of
the gate you will see his old dam in
the pasture to the left, and you will
see that she carries the same tail
that he does" L did look at the
mare on the way out, and it was SO.
This carriage of the tail is also a
Denmark characteristic. 1t is said,
by the way, that this tail has been
transmitted to the Kentucky horse
from the Arab progenitOr of the Eng
lish thoroughbred, and that the trait
is due to the fact that the hair was
not allowed to grow upon the tail of
the Arab till he was five years old ;
the custom of keeping the tail shaved
observed through many generations
made it thus light and easily held up,

being unable to account for the slump

At first it was but mere suggestion,
but later it became the actual belief along
the line built by the Georgia and Ala
bama COMPANY. So thoroughly imbued
were they with this idea that they took
the law into their own hands, and the
courts have been appealed to by the cor-
poraiion TO protect its lines. On more

and pulled down seven miles of it.

4 REMARKABLE DINNER.

Perhaps the most remarkable dinner
on record was that given by an antiquary
named Goebei, in the city of Brussels.
At the dinner were apples that ripened
more than 800 years ago, bread made
from wheat grown before the children
of Israel passed through the Red Sea,
and spread with butter that was made
when Elizabeth was Queen Of England.
The repast was washed down with wine
that was old when Columbus was play
ing with the boys of Genoa. The apples
were from an earthen jar taken from the
ruins OF POmpeii. The wheat was taken
from a chamber in one of the pyramids,
The butter from stone shelf in an old
well in Scotland. where for, several CEN
turtles it had lain in an old earthen crock
in lev water, and the wine was recovered
from an old Vault in the city of Corinth.

PICTURESQUE KENTUCKY SCENERY.
Elk Lick Falls and Other Natural Wonders
Near Richmond.

Near Richmond.
Elk Lick Falls, located on the Rich
mond pike, twelve and one-half miles
from this city, is more wonderful nat
ural curiosity than Richmond people
generally realize. Two small creeks or
branches meet and fall into a canyon
about sixty feet deep, and in the water
fall is u mass of limestone similar to that
deposited in the caves of this limestone
region, extending from the bottom to the
top Of this waterfall. This mass is from
ten to thirty feet vide, and from five to
ten feet thick and probably contains 100
tons of stone made by the water. The
cliff is shelving about the falls, and You
can 60 under it behind the limestone
curtain in the falls on a shelf of the rock.
This branch is tributary of Elk Lick
and runs on down the gorge with num-
erous cascades, one of which, about POO
yards down the branch, is thirty-five or
forty feet high, and it soon joins the
main Elk Lick, and in about a quarter
of a mile empties into the Kentucky
river, which miles each way from this
point is bounded 10y cliffs from 800 to 400
feet high.
Ii is Very curious that with the exccp
ton of small amount in one small fail
OF few feet there is no other deposit OF
of this limestone in this stream. 1t
must have r,quired untold ages for the
water to D'ake this enormous deposit,
and this wild ravine of steep cliffs must
have had almost lis exact present for
nation when this deposit began.
If you have time, 90 on to Cleveland
or Clay's Ferry, as it used TO Re called,
and observe the broken strata OF the
earth crust with crosses the river there
twice, and is fine showing OF this great
Kentucky geological fault. which runs
across the rough broken river hills for
about forty miles. The rocks north Of
this fault have been thrown up several
hundred feet above those south OF the
break; and yet the top surface is so near
this same elevation as TO indicate that
this fault occurred in the rock strata be-
tore the Kentucky river began to cut its
deep pathway along those towering cliffs
now 300to 500.feet above the stream.
If you ride up to the top of the bill on
the Madison county line of the river
you will be 430 teet above the river and
enjoy splendid view of river and its
hills.
On the way to the river about
nine and half miles from Lexington
you can see across Madison county to
Big Hill" about seventeen to
twenty miles south OF Richmond, or
or nearly forty miles from your point of
observation This big hill is in Jackson
county, and extends great many miles
each way around the horizon. At least
u half dozen counties are visible from
this point. The associate editor of the
CLIMAX coasted down the steep declivi-
ty called pike, on the Fayette side last
Wednesday, and later in the week
kne.t at the foot of ''Big Hill'', thirty
miles to the east, whilst between the two
stretches the grandest spot of dirt on the
foot stool, peopled by the chosen u
earth, who think there is no place like
Richmond, no county like Madison no
state like Old Kentucky!
