Dual Military In Frankfort.

Frankfort, KY, March 24.-State
troops recognizing Governor Beckham,
are in possession of the county court
house and jail and will do military
duty here under orders from Governor
Beckham, during the examining trials
of Republican Secretary>o of State Caleb
Powers, Captain Jown w. Davis and
w. ii. Culton, before Judge Moore.
The military is also reinforced by
seventy-five special deputy sheriffs,
who were sworn in by the civil au-
thorities. The Lexington company, of
seventy men, under Captain Longmire,
were drawn up in regular marching
order at the station and marched to
the court house. The sidewalks along
the way were well filed with people
and the troops were cheered at various
points. The line of march did not pass
the state house square, where Governor
Taylor's soldiers were quartered, and
the dual militia did not come face to
face. It is understood that practically
the entire contents of the Lexington
armory has been brought here.

The great playwright and novelist,
Dumas, once found a man fast asleep
performance of a play by his friend
Sonnet. You see that?" said he. ''That
is your work" Next evening a Dumas
piece was being played and the two
friends again went to the theater. Once
more they found a sleeping man. "You
see, my dear Dumas, that your works
can produce Sleep said Sonnet. do
you refer to that MANI" asked Dumas.

night and he's not awake yet"

A few years ago a landowner made
his neighbor tear down and rebuild a
four-story block because it overreached
six inches into the next lot A still
more selfish contention concerns the
proprietorship of five inches of space
three hundred feet above the sidewalk
The bringer of the suit declares that a
neighboring cornice projects five inches
over his own modest roof, and he
claims large damages therefor. For
once Doctor Hales look up and not
down" seems at fault. Thackeray' s
irony is more apt: eff your neighbor's
foot obstructs you, stamp on it; and
do you suppose he won't take it away?'

Sir John Murray in a recent address
drew a vivid picture of the time, in
the remote future, when temperatures
as low as those which Professor Dewar
produces in his experiments at the
Royal Institution will prevail all over
the earth. The atmosphere and the
oceans will then have disappeared
within the rocky crust of the globe,
their elements having entered into
new combinations. In other words, to
use Sir John Murray's expression, "the
waters of the ocean will have become
solid rock" But over their surface
will roll the waves of new and most
wonderful sea, IAN ocean of liquid air
about forty feet in Depth At that
time, of course, life as we know it will
have vanished from the earth.

DR.. Thomas Wilson Of the United
States National Museum, discussing
some of the problems of American an
thropology, points out among the pc
culiarities yet unexplained, that a
fringe of country lying between the
coast range and the Pacific contains
a greater number of stocks, or families
of Indian languages than all the rest
in North America combined. The ar
row and spear-heads of the Pacific
coast are notably different from those
of other parts of the country. Pottery
although made by neighboring peoples
in Mexico and in the Pueblo county,
was absent from the arts of the Pacific
coast, while, on the other hand, the
finest specimens of basketry perhaps
in the world, either in ancient or mod
ern times, are to be found in Califor-
mia. Doctor Wilson regards the ia
nous Calaveras skull as a genuine
relic of ancient man on the Pacific
slope.

The remark is often made that the
winter of 1899-19e0 has been, in great
part of the country, bad for some
branches of business because of its
mildness and dryness. The statement
is quite undeniable, since business
practically means the spending of
money. and not the saving of it.

Camille DareSte, Frenchman,
made many experiments on the effect
Of foreign circumstances on hens eggs.
One of his last was the effect of cold.
On his death his assistant, Etienne
Rabaud, completed the experiment,
and has given the result. There vera
so rows of "a hens eggs each. They
were new laid, and were submitted to
test after remaining three days undis-
turbed. Eighteen were exposed to q
temperature of IS degrees and were
kept apart for purposes of comparison.
third Of the frozen eggs were put
at once in the incubator at SO degrees
C. The second third was slowly
thawed in the open air, and then eft
in the incubation temperature. The
remaining third lay three days, SO as
to let them get over the effect OF the
nanipulations, and then were put into
the incubator. The results were:
Il. Hens eggs can stand a tenn
perature of at least Is degrees cold
and live. 2. The freezing works a
great change, since the further de-
yelopment in most cases seems to be
only a growth of cells without clear
differentiation. g. The damage done
is lasting, for slow thawing does not
give back its normal development to
the germ. A. The individuality of the
germs is obvious in this experiment,
in that several of the eggs subjected to
freezing could still produce an en-
bryo with peculiarities, but possibly
normal.

Coloring Butter.

The color question is a matter OF
vital interest to the dairymen of the
United States. Upon that line nearly
all the repressive legislation that has
been had against the fraud oleomar-
garine, is based. For that reason, IN
order that in the future deception ana
swindling may be prevented, 1t be-
comes a matter of necessity that all
butter shall come upon the table In
yellow color, says Hoard's Dairyman.
So far as deaths having ever ensued
from the eating of butter that has been
colored, that is the merest humbug.
Butter is colored simply as a matter
of taste, because in summer, when FEED
is green, all butter is yellow. 1t does
not make poor butter good butter. Fhe
coloring has nothing whatever to do
with the question of quality. No man
need be persuaded to buy poor butter
for good because it is yellow. Quality
in butter is not judged by the eye, bu.
by the taste and smell, so color has
nothing to do with quality, but has
much to do with another department
of value, that of appearance to suit the
eye of the customer.
The aim of the dairymen and all
consumers who do not wish to be
swindled into buying oleomargarine
when they call for butter, is to force
oleomargarine, by the strong arm OF
| the law, to appear in the market and
| elsewhere in its own distinctive color,
| which is white, or nearly so. Then,
| if the poor want it as a cheap substi-
tute for butter, they can buy it for
what it is worth. Public sentiment
and understanding is fast coming to
see the integrity, fairness and wisdom
| Of such purpose.
The boarding house or restaurant
keeper who puts white butter on his
| table is lacking in good business sense.
| No deaths, nor even sickness, have
ever occurred, to our knowledge, from
eating butter colored by any form Of
! color.
The sooner all butter comes on the
| table in yellow attire and all substi-
! tutes are forced to appear uncolored
the quicker will justice be done to the
| consumer and the dairymen.
Some people wonder why more
squads are not raised for market, and
say that when pigeons are so very pro-
life there should be no reason for the
squads selling at from Is cents to so
cents each even in winter. The reason
why more squads are not produced
is doubtless due to the fact that the
men that attempt to raise pigeons do
not~confinc them in covered yards, that
is, yards with wire sides and tops. The
result is that all kinds of enemies prey
on the pigeons and the constant loss
from this is large and discouraging. If
doves are to be kept for the SQUADS
they produce it is evident that the
work to be successful must be scienti-
fically carried on.
The Bite of Pig.-It is a rather
remarkable fact that the bite of the
pig is more dangerous than that of any
of our farm animals. Why this is so
is not easily accounted for; but the fact
remains that injuries inflicted by pigs
| usually take a much longer time 10
heal than those inflicted by, say, horses
or dogs. However, wounds inflicted
by swine are of rather rare occurrence.

duced by large spot or splash on each

BOY S MAD F FREAK
Young Hoffmeyer slashed
His Wrist Because He
Was Reproved By
His Teacher

Robert Hoffmeyer, azften year old pupil
of School No. Z, Hopoken, stabbed himself
in the wrist yesterday with penknife be-
cause his teacher had reproached him.
Robert came to class with dirty hands,
and MISS Messenger, the teacher, admon-
ishedf him. That made the lad angry and
be- began to cry.
When further reproved he pulled out a
cheap penknife and began plunging it into
his left wrist. While doing so he kept
screaming and running around the class
room. The other pupils became alarmed
when they saw the blood squirting from
the cut wrist. Miss Messenger quieted
them, however, and succeeded in taking
the knife away from the boy.
Hoffmeyer continued crying, and said
he would never come to school with dirty
hands again. Miss Messenger could not

watched.
Soon after Whitlock first saw them Su-

Ferry Company approached the men and
inquired their business.
That's none of yours one replied.
'You had better let us alone"
Heffernan then summoned Whitlock,
who demanded the reason for their pres

fused to answer Whitlock then told
them that unless they moved on he would
lock them up. The twain smiled and

WOULDN'T DESERT HIS DOG

81 owe Kaiser my life, and sooner than

The words were addressed yesterday to
Poormaster Barck in tremulous, Sob
bing voice. and the speaker, burly man
dressed, or rather covered by long,
threadbare oyercoat, looked with fearful
eyes at an ungainly-looking canine that

nothing for Kaiser. There is no county
institution for the care of vagrant dogs,
SO you will have to bid him goodbye"
The mans face fell as If he were about
to part from the dearest friend on earth,
and it was then that he made the simple,
but eloquent protest recorded. In explana-
tion he fold his story as folIows:-
You see, l had a canalboat once, but
it sank one night, and but for Kaiser
here I would not be here to tell you all
about it. I was sleeping soundly in my
bunk when / felt something pulling the
bed clothing from me, and short time
later Kaiser here poked his snout against
the most dismal way imaginable. I was
just beginning to rub the sleep from my
eyes when I heard strange gurgle, and

into Mr.. Barcks face.

the poOrmaster, considerably moved by
the mans extraordinary appeal, but you
can tell your story to the recorder"
Later on Livermore and his fonr-footed
friend appeared before Recorder Stanton
and he repeated his story.
Kaisers all l have, Judge" he plead,
''and won't part with him no matter
what 1t costs me.
Well" answered the recorder, 'I won't
