The MAN WHO ALWAYS FINES FAULT.

The man who is ALWAYS finding fault
with what everybody else does, without
particularly trying to do anything him
self, is neither ''a thing of beauty nor
JOY forever" No, he is positive nui-
sauce, and he should do one or two
things, either die or pick up his traps
and leave his country, for his country's
good. Don't continually wear long
face and preach failure Of every enter
prise undertaken by the people of your
town and community. II YOU can't put
your shoulder 10 the wheel and help
on the car OF progress, at least don't re-
iard lis onward movements By evil
prophecies aud expressions Of unbound
ed fears. Don't mar the happiness OF
your family and friends and rob them
OF their slnshiue by moroseaess aud
discomfort, but come out Of the canyons
Of despair unto u.e hilltops Of joy and
gladness. and seek for what is good 10
humanity and give the evil the charity
! Of your silence.-Ex.

The RATCHET is BURIED.

A Frankfort special says: Colonel
Jack Chin, of Mercer, and Senator
Bronston, of Fayette, who two months
ago were threatening each other with
all sorts of trouble as the result of
law suit, are said TO have buried the
Ratchet and agreed to he friends. This
story is told by Iiarrodshurg politicians
here today, who say further that Bron-
ston will have dismissed the indict-
ment returned by the grand jury of lis
county charging Colonel Chinn with
being nuisance. The trouble between
them began at Lexington at the meet
ing of the Democratic State Central
Committee, when Chinn abused Mr.
Bronston in the lobby of the Phoenix
Hotel and the later went cunning for
him"

Tie ground often over many States The
rain falling during the night and the next
day after the battle of Bull Run was very
extensive. At the close of the battle Of
Williamsburg heavy rain set in the
same evening.
While riding from one station to an
other for observation l noticed a yellow
ish substance on the water which stood
in large pools many miles from the battle
grounds. Dismounting I gathered some
OF the water and on examination foune
the yellow substance to be sulphur, evil

II once witnessed the burning of train

very little report but the enormous vol
ume of smoke and chemicals formed a
cloud of its own, whose deep shadow so
cooled the moist-laden atmosphere that
rain clouds formed in a clear sky and
continued to spread until the sky was
completely obscured and rain came in
great quantities within an hour and lasted
through the night
IT am not alone IN noticing the phe-
nornena of rain following closely after
battles. All close observers soon began
to notice this.
Heavy bombardments are not so likely
to bring rain as are long lines of mus
kerry. There are times when neither

produces an oscillation in their path

the disturbing influence is we have no
means of finding out. 1t may possibly

which case also we should be deprived

fectIv homogeneous body the introduction

any Jar containing a solution OF salt In
such proportion as to amount to super
satrration If we are able to keep the
solution homogeneous throughout, with
out any Earring or sudden lowering or
temperature the salt will not crystalline.
1t is even possible, provided the solution
be kept perfectly homogeneous, to lower
IFS temperature a great deal without in
ducing any change. If, however, for

for instance a small crystal, IT would
form instantly what is termed center of

the bottom. In the same way we might
imagine atmospheric conditions which
were perfectly homogeneous throughout,
without any disturbing influence what
ever from wind or jar of any kind. Then
under such circumstances an explosive
balloon or the firing of guns might
make centers of precipitation which
would start a fall of rain. The conditions,
however, are improbable to the highest
degree.
THE old stories of rain falling after bat
ties are nothing but popular supersti-
tons

and effect between the heavy firing dur
ing battle and the fall of rain after
ward?'
"That would be incautious to say. But
most probably there is not. 1t is really
nothing but a popular superstition which
the Texas experiments ought surely to
disprove."
Gustav Eisen. Ph.D.. of the Academy of
Sciences, said the whole idea was laugh
able in the extreme and had really been
dfsproved long ago. In speaking OF the
matter he said:
How can you get moisture out OF the
air when there is no moisture in it? If
there is more moisture in the air than it
will hold at a certain temperature 1t will
fall in the form of rain. If the air is
warm and full of water 1T will be precip-
itated if suddenly cooled. But this cool
ing cannot be done by artificial means ex-

The explosion of a few thousand pounds
of powder in the expanse of the upper

According TO the London Young Woman
Princess Victoria of Wales is one Of the
few royal women who prides herself on
the fact that she has learned regular
profession. At a recent industrial ex-
hibition in London there was a specially
interesting bookbinders exhibit, there be-
ing contributions from the best known
binderies in Great Britain. Among them
there were several artistically executed
book covers which gained universal adj
miration and whose maker was certain
Miss Matthews. to whom several prizes
were awarded.
Some time afterward the identity of
Miss Matthews became known and great
was the surprise when it was found that
she was Princess Victoria of Wales, who

icism without consideration for her rank

The Chamber of Commerce has taken up
the question of attempting to produce

moisture may be produced to relieve the

Professor Lowe tells the Chamber of

atmospheric conditions are favorable. as
they are oftener than there is need of a

In order to produce moisture PROFESSOR
Lowe saws that he would apply his own

One effectual way of dealing with the
Trusts would be to deny corporate fran
chises to every company proposing to
enter into private business with which in
dividual energies. enterprise and capital
can easily cope. 1t is an abuse of the
power of the State to create joint stock
companies to print cottons. wash clothes
boil soap and engage in all the other
varied forms of private business in COM
petition with individuals But to be eff
fective this inhibition upon corporations
in ordinary business would require the
cooperation of all the State Legislatures
in repeating the general laws for creating
business corporations. If this could be
accomplished the propagation of the
breed Of Trusts would be checked. and
in twenty years many OF them would
collapse in obedience to economic laws.
while many others would fall under indi-
vidual ownership while preserving the
nominal form OF jsint stock corporations.

THE cotton mills of the South are now
factor that must be respectfully con-
sidered in the disposition OF the cotton
crop. They are in the market at pres
ent prices TO such an extent as to limit
the usual offerings for export and to give
a stronger tone to prices and demand.
This is as it should be. There is no
sound reason why the bulk of the cotton
crop of the South should not be advan-
tageously manufactured in the South and
the finished product instead of the raw
product sold in foreign markets.
