Do you know the meaning of what
is popularity called those long
ings," or cravings, which beset so
many women during pregnancy?
There is something lacking in the
mothers blood. Nature cries out
and will be satisfied at all hazards.
One woman wants sour things,
another wants sweets, another
wants salt things, and so on.
The real need all the time is to
enrich the blood so as to supply
nourishment for another life, and
to build up the entire generative
system, so that the birth may be
possible and successful.

in one OF the best agricultural regions in
the world, are TO be ieliciated for their
excellent Judgement in adopting inn

ing governed by prejudice or hearsay.
To the farmers OF Johnson county, who
have been familiar with the Wind
stacker stree its introduction in 1891,
discussions at this time concerning the
merits Of the Wind stacker must be
amusing. When they know that they
have straw stacks that have stood for
three, four and five years with the straw
bright and clean few inches below the
surface. they certainly cannot help
wondering why the Wind stacker could
anywhere be condemned because the
straw would not keep. Tue geographic

Brandenburg-I appreciate your de-
sire to distribute good literature and you
strike the responsive chord of my heart
when you say that, zone who loves to
read is never lonely, never tires OF
home" How true and yet how few
ri ally love to read, or try to teach their
children the love OF good books. There
are parents who dress their children in
ruffles, laces, ribbons and flowers. who
seldom or never spend anything for good
literature to adorn their minds and even
many who never furnish their children
with Bibles or cause them to know any
thing of the pure word OF God. 1t sad
dens my heart to see children reared
without any knowledge of the "Holy
Scriptures" for all other books sink into
nothingness when compared with the
Holy Bible. From this book emenates
all good and pure literature, from whence
springs all civilization.
We congratulate the Hardinsburg
Woman, Brandenburg and Uncle John
athan on the subject Of temperance and
reform and ye editor for granting 80
much space to this subject. Temper
ance and reform should be our battle
cry and let every woman Of both Meade
and Breckenridge rise up and by all just
and honorable means help Uncle John
athan to put this evil from among u.s.
and "in the name of God we will set up
our banners." But let us not agitate
this subject as a political issue. These
are moral and religious questions and
should elicit the attention OF all good
people, in all churches and parties.
The temperance was not political or
national question with Daniel, but he
proposed in his heart, that he would not
defile himself with the portion of the
kings meat nor the wine that he drank.
Our hope of reformation is not in the
parties, but in teaching both candidate
and voter to
"Dare to be Daniel,
Dare to stand alone"
And to propose in his heart that he
will not defle himself.

that reason, this county is particularly
favored in having the first opportunity
to receive and Judge OF new inventions.
We suppose the contests by agents for
Gales Of machinery are as keen here as
they could possibly be- anywhere. II,
therefore, there should be any weakness
es or defects In machine, the agents OF
competing machinery would be swift to
discover them aud point them out TO
buyers. The fact is, that thresherman
in this county to-day without a wind
stacker, has very little to do, and none
OF them thinks Of buying a new machine
without It Farmers will no longer en-
dure the disagreeable and arduous labor
required in stacking straw, nor can they
secure hands In busy season to do such
work. The manufacturer OF threshing
machine in this day, which is not adapt
ed To work In connection with The Wind
stacker, has no sale for his goods in this
county. and We are surprised that farm

think Of using old time methods or ma

that they actually advanced within the

sultation with Consul General Lee be-
fore undertaking the formal beginning
of the inquiry. He SAYS his functions
are strictly limited to the investigation
of the conditions under which DIR. Ruiz
met his death in the Jail at Guanabacoa.
The proceedings are not to be in the
nature of legal trial, for so far, at
least, there is no accused person. They
will be rather in the line of close and
thorough investigation, which is to be
he'd with the consent of and by the in
vitation of the Spanish government.
and the United States will be represent

ton, i'll order to offer every assurance
that the proceedings are fair and COM

1t is expected that the investigation
will be initiated by the Spanish author
tiles Just as soon as Mr.. Calhoun indi.
Gates that he is ready to begin. AS the
death of DR.. Ruiz took place in the Jail
at Guanabacoa, u suburb within the
corporate limits of Havana, it will not
be necessary to go outside OF the city TO
make the inquiry.

In Ecuador.
New YoRK, May S.-A special to The
Herald from Panama, Colombia, says ::
The revolution in Ecuador, according to
all advices received, seems to be i'll the
nature of holy war. Among the lead
ers of the rebels are many priests. The
uprising. which started in the provinces
Of Canar and Chimborazo, while not as
serious as was thought at first, is still
causing some apprehension. There has
been no considerable movement so far
as known in the other provinces in the
same direction, but the trouble contin-
ues in the two provinces named.
In the attack on the city of Riobama-
ba, few days since, the rebels met
with heavy reverses. A Jesuit superior,
who was with the rebels, was killed and
two of the principal leaders of the reb-
els. Chiroboga and Costales, were taken
prisoners. EiRhty-two others were cap
tured, among them 32 priests.
The rebels are receiving the aid OF q
small faction. of liberals. who are dis
contented with prevailing conditions.
