"'rhe Daylight Rock. ="

On business trip to the western
portion of Laurel county recently we
visited what is known as ''The Day
light Rock" The rock or clf is on
top of mountain and resembles an
arch made by railroad companies
where county roads or other crossings
pass under the track, being just about
the same size, and the earth above
about four to six feet deep and being
about the same width of roaClbed of IL
railroad gives it the Appearance OF Il
crossing of this kind. About the only
difference is that the masonry on
"The Daylight Rock is far superior
to any that could be put up by the
most skillful stonemason. Old hunt
ers of fifty years ago tell OF many in
teres ing experiences at this rock.

prove tho stand taken by the president.
Davis, Pcttigrew and Morgan are outspoken
and Congressman Grosvenor Is Of the same
opinion. Cullum believes Spain Is seeking
a quarrel. and neither president nor people
will submit to insult. 1t is safe to say that
nothing since the explosion Of the Maine
has thrown Washington into snch fever OF
excitement as the presidents pronuncia-
mento. 1t has settled the fact in
the public mind that the crisis is approach
ing. The very use by the president OF the
word ..crisis'' indicates that the serious con-
dition Is fully appreciated In the mind OF the
executive Nothing less than realization
of the attitude OF Spain toward the United
States and the necessity for bold and I'M
qualified declaration on our part would have
induced him to make public such an EN-
phatic defiance One important phase OF the
presidents statement should not be over
looked. This is the unusual refusal OF this
government to accede to demand for re-
call of one Of it's agents abroad. Under Or
binary circumstances Il mere notihcatlon
from any government to another that per-
son representing 1t Is persona non grata Is
sufficient to secure transfer OF the oblec-
tionube person. This the United States has
always insisted IN the proper course to be pnr-
sued. 1t made Russia recall Cataca2y, 1T sent
Lord Sack villc-West home to Great Britain,
1t would have given the recent Spanish
minister his passports II he had not antici-
pated that action by his hasty resignation.

Next time yon have pain anywhere
try Irrigation.
Obligation, according to Professor
Elmer Gates of Washington, is
"he power of the individual
to confine his consciousness
exclusively to the sensations of any
selected part of the body and by prac-
tice to send more blood to that part
and alter therein the lympthatic and
tharmic functions.
This means that by concentrating
ones thought, say on ones hand, for
IL given time one could, by practice,
send more blood into it, or withdraw
unnecessary blood, and also make it
warmer or colder.
This is a scientific mans attempt to
explain the mind cure. 1t is ingeni-
Gus. Perhaps it is true. Who knows
how much the concentration of the
thought upon the toothless gums has
had to do with the growth of new sets
of teeth in old people? The next time
one of these cases is discoreredlet the
inquisitive scientist put these ques-
tons: GLOW long have yon been think
ing about your jaws as tooth prodnc-
ers? Have you not been hoping and
perhaps expecting that you might get
a new tooth, or Il whole set?'
Perhaps we are on the eve of dis
coyeries that will make the doctor and
dentist unnecessary. The twenty-trst
century man may acquire powers sucl
as the humble lizard now possesses.
He may be able to replace lost hair,
teeth and even more important organs
by Irrigation. Louis Post Dis

What Causes Steam?

A newsboy at one of our railway
stations was very much puzzled as to
what made the steam which issued
from the railway engines.
Seeing learned-looking old gentle
man pacing up and down the platform
he accosted him thus:
81 say, mister, will you tell me
what steam is?
"Steam, my boy-steam, did you
say? Oh-er, steam is steam OF
course"
The lad felt as wise as ever after
receiving this reply, and, seeing a
mate OF his coming toward him, he
addressed him with
"Bill, do You know what steam is?'
"Why, of couse / do, Jack. It's d
bucket of water all of sweat" he re-
piled with q knowing air.-Spare
