THEY SLEEP HANGING UP.
sIoths and Bats suspend Themselves
 Without Exertion.

There Is one animal which lives en- tirely In trees, but Is able to maintain It's position during slumber without tho least exercise of muscular force. This Is the sloth. common in the forests of tropical America. Its long claws are so bent that they hook over the branches and allow the creature to hang upside down like an animated hammock. Gu siously enough. the hammock appears Co be a South American invention and is universally employed by all the h. dlan tribes of the Amazons, Perhaps the primitive human dwellers In this region took 60 sleeping in haGmocks after observing the habits of tie sloth.
 The great ant eater. which Is both Q klnsman and fellow countryman of the gloth. has an enormous tail, which'it uses in very remarkable manner. I recently saw two of these strange ani- mals lying together asleep, and they had arranged their tails so cleverly that their whole bodies were hidden from view. Moreover. it was evident that this eaudal covering would afford excellent protection from the weather. for the central solid part of the tails acted as a kind of ridge pole over the highest part of the sleepers' bodies, so that the long fringes of hair sloped downward on each side like the thdtch upon a roof.
 Like the sloths. many kinds of bats sleep suspended by their hooked claws without any muscular exertion what ever. Some of tbe large fruit eating bats of the tropics. which do not sleep tn holes like the species common In southern latitudes. but which hang sus- pended to the branches of trees In the open air. adopt position which it would be difficult to beat for economy and comfort. Gould's fruit eating bat, common in the warmer parts of Aus tralla. suspends itself upside down by one hind foot and wraps It's body In the tentlike folds of It's wing membranes, which extend right down to the an kles. It's shoulders. to which the mem brane Is attached. are bumped up SO as to act as caves to shoot on the rain, and when asleep It draws It's head un' der their shelter and nestles It's nose among the warm fur of It's chest.

The Alaska case argued in the su- preme court of the United States on Saturday presents precisely the same iS- sue as the Puerto Rico and Philippine cases. II the constitution extends eS proprio vigore over Alaska. the spec iai internal revenue licenses levied in that district are clearly unconstitution- al. Yet it is to be noted that with all the sympathy wasted on the Philippines. not a democratic vote was recorded against the special taxation imposed upon Alaska.-P.-l.

ed us that the C. w. B. NJ. sisters
are making preparation to erect
a large four story stone building
at that place to be used instead of
the academy building now being
occupied. Two more professors
were added to the faculty and the
future prospects of the instltu.
ton are more fiattering that ever
before.
We congratulate the people OF
Hazel Green on their untiring EN-
ergy, long and arduOus labor, and
unrelenting courage in building
up their town and county as they
have done. These attributes OF
civilization and progress may well
be observed as so many beacon.

Fishermen are anticipating a rich
harvest of tho finny tribe, and
when the water is drawn off, what
is left will not be shy on skiffs,

as the peach belt of the world, the

At an informal set-dOwn the
other night of a few professional
men is New York, one of them

Harte, however, will find some
changes in the section of the coun-

and saw the scenes which made
his stories so well liked by all
Americans. Other writers have
been in the field, and if they have
not told what they saw as Bret
Harte would have done, they have
at least taken off the edge, and
Bret Harte will have to draw OH

who, having touched all sides OF
mountain life, at last settled down
in a place where the inhabitants
seemed to have huddled in order
to rest, as q minister. They told
me he was all all-round minister,
by which was given to understand
that he had no creed. One of the
inhabitants explained that all they
wan,ed q preacher for was to marry
the marriageable and bury the
dead.
There had been n death in The

and the all-round man was called
upon to ofliciate. 1t was his tirst

White Man Turned Yellow.

Great CONSERVATION was felt by
the friends of NJ. a. Hogarty, of
Lexington, Ky, when they saw he
was turning yellow. His skin slowly
changed color, also his eyes, and
he suffered terribly. His malady
was yellow jaundice. He was treat
ed by the best doctors, but without
benefit. Then he was advised to
try Electric Bitters, the wonderful
stomach and liver remedy, and he
writes: "After taking two bottles
l was wholly cured" A trial proves
its matchless merit for all stOm-
ach, liver and kidney troubles.

8I.OO PER YEAR,
Always I'm Advance.


Crockett ColdirOn, of this place,
has in his possession two Indian
tOmmahawks that are evidently
the handiwork of some Indian
belonging to q tribe that at one
time inhabited this locality. They
were found on the farm recently
sold by w. T. Swango to Charley
Cecil. John O'hair was the origi-
nal owner of the land, and sub
sequent owner was n man named
Musick, who planted all apple or
chard. In this orchard, always
known by the older inhabitants as
Musick's orchard" were found
these tOmahawks. One of them
shows good deal of artistic taste
in Its manufacture, and must have
cost the artisan many hours of pa
tient toll; that is, provided there
ever existed patient Indian. 1t
is about three inches long by two
in width, has an indention around
which the handle fitted and was
picked to a fairly sharp edge for a
stone. The stone, too, is harder
than the rock usually found in
this section, and is quite heavy
for its size. 1t is also highly poll
ished, and when one looks at it he
can readily imagine that it was
the property of some valient chief.
and believe that it was employed
in battle against the first settlers
of this part of Kentucky. The
other tommy" is similar in its
general contour, but the poll has
been broken and it does not show
the workmanship displayed upon
the other curio. Mr.. Coldiron
prizes these relics of a now almost
extinct race very highly and would
not part wi tn them, or either of
them, for anything in reason.
