Some Advice.


A company is being organized In
Paris, KY, for the purpose of buying
the old Bourbon Fair Grounds and
holding an old-fashioned Kentucky
Fair this fall. Hon. Claude NJ. Thomas
is said to be at the head of the move
ment and has circulated subscription
paper that has received large num-
Der of sigDers. 1t has been decided by
the owners Of the historic old grounds
either to cut the place up into building
lots or sell it as whole for agricult-
urai purposes. An old-fashioned Ken
lucky Fair means that their will be no
racing and no trials of speed except
those once seen in the "bull rings of
our country agricultural society, but
We trust that such will not be the case
with our Bourbon friends, and that
they will try to utilize the good half
mile track they already have without
the building. Bourbon is a horse
breeding and hOrse-raisIDg county, and
the breeders should take an interest in
the new association and do all in their
power not only to assist in the promo
ton Of the contemplated fair, but also
to revive the old-time interest of the
Bourbon county people in contest of
speed by light harness horses The
Stock Farm wishes the new association
great success, and believes that revival
of trotting racing, properly managed,
will so long ways towards securing it.

STRENGTH OF GRIZZLY BEARS.

Public Opinion.
The strength of grizzly bears is al
most beyond belief, says a hunter I
have read about the powerful muscles
in the arms of African gorillas, but
none compared with those in the arms
and shoulders of big grizzly bears.
have seen grizzly bear with one paw
shot into uselessness pull its own LOO
pounds of meat and bones up precipices,
and perform feats of muscle that trained
athletes could not do. l have seen
grizzly bears carrying the carcasses of
pigs that must have weighed 20 pounds
several miles across a mountain side
to their lairs, and 1 have heard hunters
tell of having seen COWS knocked down
as il by a thundorbolt with one blow
from the forepaw of a bear. Three
summers ago spent the season in the
mountains near Hudson's bay, and one
moonlight night saw big grizzly in
the act of carrying dead cow home to
her cub. l had a position on the
mountain side where could see every
movement of the bear in the sparsely
timbered valley below me. The Great
ure carried the dead cow in her fore
paws for. at least three miles, across
jagged, shap rocks 10 feet high, over
fallen logs, around the rocky mountain
sides, where even a jackass could not
get a foot hold, to narrow trail up
the steep mountain. She never stopped
to rest moment, but went right along.
l followed, and just about half mile
from the beasts lair l laid her low.
The heifer weighed at least 200 pounds
and the bear about 450.

THE PLATFORM WOMAN.
She Has Ever Been a Blot Upon American
Womanhood.

The platform woman never has been

lean womanhood. l make this en-
phatic statement from the personal
knowledge of the homes which these
women leave behind when they go to
their meetings." writes Edward Box
IN the January ladies' Home Journal.
Il have seen the rooms of their homes
left in wild disorder; 1 have seen their
servant sitting in idleness with work on
every hand to do; have seen their
children neglected and left to their own
devices; l have heard husbands speak
in derision of the motives of their
wives. No woman in happy Ameri-
can home can ever afford to
listen to these parasites of her sex.
Fortunately, the platform woman's in
fiuence is steadily on the wane. She
was never a power. She was never
even picturesque. Her worst injury
was wrought upon certain weak women
who for the time she deluded. But
even with them she was soon regarded
with wonder rather than with interest
with suspicion rather than with conf
dence. Less and less has she been
able to get listeners, and it is signifcan.

At close of our Civil War in 1866,
there appeared in the London Times
the following:
"If that mischievous financial pol
icy which had its origin in the North
American Republic during the late
Civil War in that country, should be-
come indurated down to a fixture,
then that government will furnish its
money without cost. 1t will have all
the money that is necessary to carry
on its trade and commerce. 1t will
become prosperous beyond precedent
in the history of civilized nations of
the world. The brain and wealth of
all countries viii go to North America.

The plan of raising ones own. cattle
on the farm where they are to be fed

crop rotation system, which must be
adopted or the productiveness of the

The rotation should be in grains and

something of that class, much of which
can be returned to the land.

Choice, ripe beef cattle are reported
scarce in every market, while there is
a surplus of the habitat kind. Cattle
ripe for the butcher commands the
highest price of the season, while the
tendency is downward for the half-ripe
sort. The moral in this is evident to
every man who studies the wants of
the market. Send your product

market when it is III the condition that
the trade demands. Half-ripe fruit
sells for little more than the half-rot-

twenty car loads of fine cattle to Jer-

Here is an instantaneous and positive
cure for frost bite. 1t was given to me

THE REMEDY.
For a child: take thimble full of
gun powder, place it in a pan and flash
it under the foot affected, holding the
foot two to four inches above the pow
der. Use double tie amount for a
grown person. If the first fash doesn't
give relief try a second or third, leaving
the feet bare in the meantime. There
will be slight aching sensation for a
few minutes and then the cure will be
perfect.

ing day of nine hours. The ship buiiaers
include rfveters and caulkers and the
strikers say the action of these men and

strike for several weeks. The men went

ten o'clock as they had previously ar
ranged. -.
There was no disorder at the yards. The
committee which on Saturday presented
the demands of the men to the firm set
ten o clock this morning as the time limit
for a reply At that hour, receiving no
word from the company, the men picked
up their tools and walked out. They were
