KENTUCKYs SHAKER MILL.
Once It Ground Flour For Cake For
Queen victoria.

Once It Ground Flour For . Cake For
Queen Victoria.
One Of the Oldest mills now standing In
Kentucky, says Lexington correspondent
of the Cincinnati Tribune, is that known
as the Shaker mill, which IL located ON
Shawnee run, small stream In Mercer
county, about six miles northeast Of Har-
rodsburg and about two miles from the
famous high bridge on the Cincinnati
Southern railroad. The mill has now
fallen into decay. The dam was partially
washed away by freshet In the spring Of
1896, and the millstones which for so many
years ground their grist day and night are
stilled, perhaps forever.
The mill was erected about the year
1909 by John Meacham and Benjamin
Youngs, Shaker missionaries from the
Mount Vernon society In New York. They
had established q Shaker community with
in q mile of the millside, and 90 It was
thriving rapidly they soon found the need
of mill. At first the mill was rather
small affair, but az the Sheker community
increased In numbers and wealth improve
ments were added until 1t was finslly one
of the best mills in Mercer county. Old
fashioned burs were gradually replaced
by the best French burs, and the reputa-
tion of the -four made by the Shakers
caused them to find a ready market for
every pound they produced, and many
hundreds Of barrels Of -four ground In this
old mill were shipped on flatboats down
the Kentucky river to Louisville, Mem
pihs, Natchez, Baton Rouge and New Or
leans.
From the latter port Shaker -four was
frequently shipped to Europe, and 1t is
said that on one occasion the Christmas
cake for Queen Victoria was baked from
flour ground by this mill. The machinery
was turned by two old fashioned overshot
water wheels.
The Shakers were. scrupulously honest
in their milling operations, and nothing
but the very choicest wheat was ground
by this mill. 1t was on that account per-
haps as much as in the excellence Of their
mill and the skill of their millers that
they produced such n superior article OF
-four. It was noted all over central Ken
tucky for its excellent qualities In making
the delicious salt rising bread 80 familiar
to all strangers who have partaken Of Ken
tucky's country hospitality. In recent
years the mill has made but little -four,
as the Shakers never put In the Hungarian
rollers, and all the grinding down there
has been In making cornmeal. Since the
dam washed away, however, even this
work has been abandoned.

A certain captain included among his
cargo couple Of gallon jars Of Ane brandy.
Incidentally he also included remarkably
smart and intelligent cabin boy. The
worthy skipper had a deep rooted aversion
to the inconvenient curiosity Of the rev.
enue officers. In short, he desired 10 land
his brandy without their aid.
Upon berthing his vessel alongside the
quay, a plank was pushed on to the jetty,
and as soon as the patrol came within y
few yards the cabin boy, carrying tho jars.
stepped ashore and was Immediately ac-
costcd by the customs officer. The follow
Ing dialogue ensued:
"well, my lad, what have you got
there?'
Cant tell you, SIR"
"But you must"
captain said I wasn't to, SIR"
"Oh, but I'm n custom house officer,
my boy, and II you don't tell mo what you
have there shall call that constable over
yonder and havo you arrested"
"Well, sir, captain'll just kill me II he
knows. He said was To take the jars to

A FINE DISPLAY OF ART.
American Sculpture ~ Shown In the L.
brAry Of Congress.

American Sculpture ~ Shown In the La
brAry Of Congress.
Upon the whole IL may almost be said
that the soulptors appear In the library to
greater advantage than the painters. Not,
Of course, that the art of sculpture ID 30
successfully cultivated In America as the
art of painting, but that the library pre-
sents moro adequate exposition Of what
we can do In sculpture than In painting.
It Is indeed the first collective exhibit In
durable form Of the work of American
sculptors that has ever been made. There
Is no American sculptor who Is conspicu-
Gus by his absence, whereas there are
American painters whom the observer will
miss and others whom he will encounter
with more or less regret. The bronze doors
of Warner set q standard at the threshold
to which 1t would be too much to hope
that all the interior sculpture should con-
form. And yet those who know American
sculpture best will probably be most sur
prised at the success with which the sculp-
tural adornment Of the great rotunda has
been managerial the appropriateness,
alike architectural and symbolical, Of the
eight austere figures of the pendentives, at
the dignity and the force Of the portrait
statues. Not that even here there are not
some works which appeal for attention by
o provincial eccentr1city.
The more strictly decorative modelling,
which still has sculptural pretenGons, one
cannot praise 90 highly. The facility Of
the modeler Of 1t is 80 astonishing that II
would be contrary 70 nature II IL were not
largely reminiscent. Reminiscent or not,
the aspiring bronze figures that form the
finals Of the newell posts In the vestibule
are extremely effective. But the flying
figures which hold the tablets over the al
legorioal statues and which fll the span
drills by the simple expedicnt Of kicking
backward into them, are pretty plainly
inoongruous with tho sober and monu-
mental richness which is the character Of
the great rotunda and which Is very pow
erfully enhanced by the allegorioal statues
Of the pendentives and the portrait statues
of the marble screens.-Montgomery

fact that when diamonds are placed In u

lights He has seen them emit bright

Since the Philadelphia has been In

eount Of q rumor to the effect that Japan
ese cruiser Naniwa would land force

act and II 10 believed that Admiral
BeGrdsles's prompt action caused the
Naniwa's captain to change his mind.
The English speaking people here be-
heve that there was good foundation
for the rumor In spite Of the denial made
at the japanese legation.
There are all kinds Of rumors float
ing around" said Counsellor Akiyama.
"One ridiculous one was that the Japan
eee steamers were to land men and take
charge OF the custom house. Another
Is that the Naniwa Is to leave on Wed
nesday next. That rumor es also the
other, is without any foundation"
Japanese Minister Shimamura denies
the story that japan has withdrawn its
request for an explanation from the
Hawaiian government Of the reasons
for ejecting the Japanese immigrants.
The minister says that he has ad-
dressed two letters to the Hawaiian gov
ernment on the subject. but has as yet
received no reply. Shikawa, editor Of
the Toxic Shuo Shimbun. who came here
to investigate the trouble arising from
Japanese immigrations, started for home
on the 18th inst. Mr.. Shikawa said: IT
