Systematic Farming,

George G. and j. Carroll Hamilton
of Flat Creek, Bath county, are among
the most extensive farmers III this
section of the country, and they are
also very successful. And why? Be-
cause they 60 at it in n business-like
manner. These gentlemen own and
manage four large farms, one in this
county, one in Bath, one in Ohio
aud one in Missouri. They employ
Colonel Gumf, IN expert bookkeeper,
whose duty it is to keep an open ac-
count with every field on each of
these farms. Reports are made to
the colonel every day Of the amount
of work done in each field and every
thing in the way of cost to produce
any article in these fields is charged
up to it, just the same as mer-
chant would charge YOU with any
article you might purchase from
his store. So when the crop is sold
they always know whether they have
made or lost money. This is n system,
we venture To say, very few farmers
III Kentucky practice, and while most
every farmer will admit that it is a
good one, still very few of them will
follow the example OF these gentle
men. The trouble with great many
of orr farmers these days is that they
like To be IN town too much Ii they
would stay at home except when they
have business in town they would be
better of Now wa dome want ,r,.
friends who are landowners 20 take
ofiense ut this, for we are interested
in their success. When the farmers
are successful everybody will prosper,
and that is why we make the sugges-
ton that they give their land more
attention instead of sitting around
on drygoods boxes in town whittl-
ing sticks.-Mt. Sterling (Ky.) Sem

Candle Fish Food. Medicine and Light
In Alaska.

With the discovery of the Klondibe,
with all its winter priyations, comes
also the practical discovery of a tish
found along the Alaskan shores which
it is said will furnish food, light, heat
and medicine to the prospectors who
have gone into the new FL Dorado.
This fish is of the smelt variety. but
larger and fatter. They are caught in
nets easily aud on being caught, are
found to be of rich green color on
the back yariegated with blue, and
with golden reflections on the belly.
On being caught these fish are dried
and stored. When the Alaskan is
showed in and without IL light, he sim
ply inserts the tail of one OF these fish
in crack in the table and touches
match to its nose. Itgiyes out clear
three-caudle power light. The back
bone is largely formed of phosphorus,
which not only causes it to ignite
easily, but also accounts for the
strength of the flame and heat devel-
oped. The substance of the fish,
largely fat, retards herapid burning as
the tallow acts in an ordinary candle.
The fish is also valuable as food. Still
another use TO which it may he put is
as Il substitute for cod-liyer oil, which,
aiding the natural heat of the body,
serves to protect against the severe
cold. 1t is to he hoped that scientists
will discover way by which the skin
OF this fish may be made into clothing,
and its backbone sharpenel into min
er's picks.

ELECTRIC LIGHT AND eYEsIcHT.
Gray and Blue Eyes Are Most Succcpu-
bile to Injurious Effect.

One effect of the advent Of the y
ray has been to direct closer attention
to the influence of the electric light
on the eyesight 1t has recently been
stated, says the Pitlsburg Dispatch,
that sailors suffer much in their eye
sight from the brilliant electric lights
used on shipboard. Gray and blue
eyes are the most subject to injury,
not being heavily charged with pig
ments The men who work the search
lights already wear dark blue glasses,
but il is found that these only miti-
gate the intensity of the light, and do
not absorb the source of the trouble,
the ultra. violet rays. These rays,
however, can be Intercepted by Cog
giles or screens of uranium or yellow
glass, and with these ii is understood,
the sailors of the French navy are soon
to he provided.
Another interesting case bearing on
this subiecs is reported from a British
warship. 1t seems that two stOkers
on the ship, having little spare time,
became engroSsed in the operation Of
an electric drill, which was burning
out holes in hardened steel plate.
Both men declared they only watched
the arc for about three minutes, and ut
the time felt noill effects, except that all
objects appeared to be of deep gold
color. At night, however, both men
were aroused by intense pain and par
tial blindness for the time being, but
both recovcredquickly after treatment.
The electric drill acts by fusing hole
through the steel, and the intensity Of
the light is greatly increased by the
rays of light thrown off by the molten
metal. The fact, too, that the work
is carried on chiefly in the daylight is
apt to deceive the casual onlooker IA
70 the degree of brilliancy Of the light,
and it is not until the after effects be-
gin to assert themselves that he is
aware of anything out of tho common.
Dark glasses are now used by all the
men on the electric drilling shifts. A
singular feature of this affection is that
1t is analogous to snow or desert blind
ness, and. Us in them, the pernicious
effects of the electric light are proba-
bly, due 10 the ultra violet rays of the
spectrum.

That statistics can he made to prove
anything has been often said. Just
what the honest statistics do prove,
however, as to the relationship be-
tween crime and ignorance on the one
hand, and between virtue and educa-
ton on the other, is much disputed.
A New York paper has opened its
columns to the discussion of this
question, with the result TINT some Of
its correspondents assert that crime
and education are increasing together,
while others insist that the more
highly educated people become the
fewer crimes are committed. And
both parties to the argument make
plentiful use of statistics.

SENATOR MILLS STORY.
Abraham Lincoln's sweeping Pardon tn
John L.. Helm.

John l.. Helm.
Senator Mills has a new story about
Lincoln. 1t was told to him by q
son Of John L. Helm of Kentucky, who
lives in Corsicana:
cold John l.. Helm" said the GEN.
ator, Twas famous character in Ken
tucky. He was, il | remember right
ly, governor of the state. but mt any
rate his position was most prominent
one. When the civil war came on
Helm was rabid secessonist. He
could not praise the South too highly
and could not heap enough abuse
upon the North. He was too old to
go into the war with his sons and re-
manned at home, doing all he could to
help the confederataNause and harass
the Yankees who invaded the state.
Finally he became So obstreperous that
the federal general who was in COM
mand near Helms home put him in
prison. The old mans age, the high
position which he occupied in tne
state, his wide connection aud espc-
cially his inability to do any harm,
were all pleaded in his extenuation,
and he was released. Instead of profit
ing by the warming the old man be-
ca'ae more persistent than ever in his
course. Once more he was clapped
into Jail. This happened two or three
times, and finally, while lie was still
locked mp, the matter was brought to
the attention of the federal authori-
ties. Even President Lincoln was ap.
pealed TO and asked TO commit the ar.
deut southerner TO an indefinite con-
linement in order that he might be
curbed.
Lincoln listened to the statement
of the case with more than usual in.
tere't Then he leaned back and be.
gan TO speak with smile upon his
face. You are talking about old man
John Helm? Well, did you know that
| used To live when was boy in
Helms town. He was kind to me.
He seemed to like me as boy, and
he never lost an opportunity to help
me. He seemed to think, said Lin.
coin. with another of his almost pa.
thetic smiles, that | would probably
make something of a man. Why. when
| went out to Illinois, poor and un.
known, that man gave me the money
to pay my way and keep me until [
got n start John Helm? q, yes, |
know him, and know what | owe To
him. think can fix his case.
And then" said Senator Mills,
Lincoln went to his desk and wrote
a few words. The bit Of writing is
treasured in the Helm household 10
this day. This is what the president
wrote:
II hereby pardon John l.. Helm
of Kentucky for all that he has ever
done against the United States and all
that he ever will do.

II il be true that the Mexican gov.
eminent has contracted with an
English syndicate for scheme of
colonization, involving the settlement
of 1000, 900 Europeans within twenty
five years, the scheme is one of direct
interest to this country, remarks the
New York Mail and Express. The
development of the natural resources
of Mexico by immigration ought to
mean n vast increase in our export
trade beyond the Rio Grande. At
the same time, there are growing in
terests of our own capital in the land
of our neighbor with which so vast q
scheme of colonization might clash.
Further announcement of the details
of this somewhat visionary plan must
be awaited. We would not allow the
establishment of foreign empire in
Mexico by force of arms. 1t remains
TO be seen whether this proposed
peaceful invasion will accord with our
interests.

Once again England nervously is
discussing the possible exhaustion of
her coal supply, which forms the
backbone of her commercial supre-
macy. Leonard Courtney, as presi-
dent of the Statistical society,
more than confirms Professor
Jeyons's view that the supply will be
in peril within an ordinary lifetime.
The output for 1896 actually was thirty
per cent less than it would have been
il the rate of progress in Jevons's
time had been maintained. While
the British output has increased less
than . l-2 times since 1860 the Ameri-
can output has increased ten.fold, and
while the American cost of output has
greatly decined the British has greatly
increased. This strengthens the Spec
tator's belief that America soon will
occupy a position of unchallenged
supremacy in the industrial world.
England must adjust herself to
smaller output of coal and iron and
readjustment of vocations. "If,"
adds the Spectator, English suprem.
acy be destroyed, it will not he
through the failure Of coal, but
through incapacity to keep pace with
the electric Development in America
and Germany"
