Emery comes from the island or

whence 1t has been exported for the
last two centuries or more. The beds
are In the northeast of the island, the
deposits descending into some Of the
neighboring islands, the emery being
found In lenticular masses, resting on
layers Of schist 10 limestone almost
identical with Parlan marble. the fin
est marble known, which comes from
the island Of PHrOs, close by.
There are about 300 men engaged
IN the trade, all Of whom have to be
married before they are admitted to
the fraternity. The material Is much
too hard to be dug out or even blast
ed. Great ores are Lighted around the
blocks till the natural cracks expand
with the heat, and levers are then in
serted TO pry them apart This sys-

reduced In size to masses Of a cubic

Tips given TO Pullman car pOrters by
government employees while perform

mate charges against Uncle Sam. They
are the only tips which are accorded
this distinction. This interesting fact
has Just been Cleaned through the dis
play by a government official Of a bill
Of expenses which he Intended to pre-
sent for a recent trip which he made
in the service of the government. He
exhibited the statement as an evidence
Of the close manner in which the gov
eminent did business He had to pre-
sent a receipt for every expenditure
made, even receipt from the Pullman
car conductor for his berth.
The only item for which there was
no receipt was Tips, 90 cents" When
asked what the tips were for, the Off.
Ger said: "They were tips which l gave
20 Pullman car porters. The govern.
ment allows those, but they are the
only tips which are allowed. If ! tip

carries my bag, the tip comes out OF
my pocket, but the tipping Of Pullman
car porters, a quarter for each journey

The Kidney Complexion.

The pale, sallOw, sunken-Cheeked, dis
tressed.loOklng people you so often
meet, are afflicted with "Kidney Com
plexion."
They may also baYe Indigestion, or
suffer from sleeplessness, rheumatism,
neuralgia, brain trouble, nervous exc
haustion, and sometimes the heart acts
badly.
The cause is weak, unhealthy kidneys.
Usually the sufferer from kidney disease
does not find out what the trouble is I'M
til it is almost too late, because the first
symptoms are 80 like mild sickness that
they do not think they need medicine
or a doctor until they find themselves
sick in bed.
DR.. Kilmer's Swamp-Root will build
up and strengthen their weak and dis.
eased kidney-poIsoned blood, clear their
complexion and soon they will enjoy
better health

OHIO VALLEY
Permanently Improved by Six
Inches Of Water the
Year Around.
FROM PITTSBURG TO CAIRO.
J. D. Babbage, Esq.,
Editor THE BRECKENRIDGE News,
Cloverport, Ky

J. D. Babbags, Esq.,
Editor THE BRECKENRIDGE News,
Cloverport, Ky
MY DRAR SIR
have much pleasure in noting in
your issue Of Wednesday, October 25th,
Of the BREcKENRDGE News, a reference
b the important meeting held In Louis
vile last week.
Your remarks are eminentl7 just and
70 the point. Now is the time for all the
towns on the Ohio river to come to the
support Of the Ohio Valley Improvement
Association, which has demonstrated it's
ability 10 accomplish tangible results in
che way Of improving the Ohio river
The work cannot, however, be success
fully pushed to conclusions without ma
terial aid, and the people Of all classes
who derive their prosperity from the
prosperity Of the Ohio Valley owe it 10
themselves 10 do their part towards sup
porting the very intelligent work which
Col. Vance has been doing, and will con-
tinue to do in Washington, provided
apathy Of his constituents and q lack Of
money do not interfere.
You know the Ohio Valley Improve
ment Association is not conducted in the
interest of any individual, clique, or To-
cality, neither is it a source Of profit to.
anyone except the people Of the great
valley of the Ohio, whose prosperity
must be enhanced if that stream is so
permanently improved as to afford six
inches Of water from Pittsburg to Cairo
the year around.
The idea that this could be done was
ieered at q few years ago, but less than
five years earnest practical work by men
Of intelligence, whose enthusiasm in the
cause prompts them to stick to It, haf
demonstrated the fact that the United
States Government can and will furnish
the means; and United States talent has
already invented the methods; therefore
II the results fail TO be realized, the PEG
pie TO whom they should accrue vii
only have themselves to thank for the
failure.
I, however, do not anticipate eithei
failure on part Of the people or on part o
the Association. The spirit which in
gpired your article seemed to pervade TIL
entire assembly at Louisville, and it can
not fail to spread throughout the entir,
valley.
Please keep up the good work. Organ
lie q club Of one, two, three, four, five o
ten members in your town and vicinity
who will come or send representatives Il
the next meeting, and who will be KEEP
advised through your columns as TO tn
progress Of our work.
send YOU a COPY OF Col VanCe's re
port Of the work done by the last Con
gre@, from which think you can from
time to time publish brief extracts 70
the information of your people, an
thereby promote an intelligent orGanize
interest in the work.
Thanking you for the interest you hav
manifested, and in advance for the intel
est which you will continue to manifest
am Yours very truly,
