TRIP TO YALE.
A Protest to Democrats and Re-

as our Junior editor goes up and
down the streets of Mt. Sterling and
here and there through the surround
ing counties he sees aud hears much
that gives promise TO the coming
years, that reveals the good that is in
man and its attendant blessings aud
joys. Yet ell is not bright or encour
Sging-reslly there is much to cause
serious thought and sadness.
On Wednesday morning we started
east. Our first stop WAS at
MoREHEAD.
DIR. L.P.V. Williams has had grip
for some>days.
We called at headquarters of the
Morehead q West Liberty railroad
A small force is at present working
on the road. On account of severe
cold little progress can be made in
grading. We accepted an vitaliOn
10 dine at Cottage Hall with Mr.
George Carr. There are nine mem-
bers of the Carr family boarding at
she Cot,sse.
Since our last call at the Normal
School some improvements have been
made. The addition to the schoo!
building had been completed and fine
nag stone paven ent laid through the
Campus. The Normal is in -four
;shiug condition. The attendance is
now 1870. There are 25 classes in the
Advanced Department with s instruc-
tore. Tuition and BOARD cost $40 per
month
We came 10 Salt Lick in the after
noon to take the train for Yale
We met Mr.. L. j. Craig, who du-
ring the summer, was in charge of
she ci.- wc!l ariiiiag Ia ihis city. On
the preceding Saturday he finished
drilling the second oil well, nesr the
residence Of Thos. Raglan on Licking
river, s miles from Salt Lick. At a
depth Of 408 feet very fine quality of
lu0ricating oil was found. Mr.. Craig
says the yield is bbl. per hour-the
oil is heavy and has to be pumped.
He will at once begin drilling another
we'll scoss the river.
AT o'clock the train pulled out for
Yale. The little passenger car, was
well filed with passengers. Ga board
we're some men who seemed to have
lost all discretion, much self respect,
sense of shame and regard for the
feelings OF others. Drunkenness, whis-
ky drinking and vulgsrity debassd
what was made in the image of God.
We regret to say that the conspicuous
one was a man who by the people of
his county had been promoted to high
official position. He was not .esi-
dent of Bath county.

The Vogue of Coral.

How pretty the girl in her teens
looks at dancing school with her
white cambric frock, blue sash and
coral necklace. Women of good taste
never bedizen their little daughters
with fanciful jewelry or over trimmed
dresses.
A plain white lawn or cambric frock,
with a little real lace edging fine as
that on baby frock, or fine EN-
broideries and insertions of needle
work are prescribed for the children
of the society leaders at their dane
ing lessons. The blue sash and knot
of hair ribbon is sometimes exchanged
for pink or buff ribbon.
The coral necklace is the preferred
ornament for the throat.
The double rope of twisted coral is
liked rather better than the rounded
coral beads. The rough ends of coral
will hurt the soft white throat if the
string is too short or too tightly
drawn.-Philadelp Record.

Valuable Philippine Forests.

The Philippine commission in Its re-
port on the forestry of the archipelago
says that the timber-producing trees
have been classified in order of their
commercial value as follows: Super
ior group, IL species; first group, Ii;
species; second group, 40 species; third
group, "A species; fourth group, 200
species; fifth group, SO species; total
species, 3S5. 1t is certain that there
still remains more than 90 species not
yet classified. Included in this list are
very hard woods, capable of taking a
beautiful polish; woods that resist cli-
matte influences and are proof against
the attacks of white ants; woods es-
pecially suited to use for set piling, on
account of their imperviousness to the
attacks of teredo navalir or for rail-
road ties, because thsy hast extremely
well when placed in the ground; in
short, there are woods for every imag-
Unable use.

herself to reach such a perfection of
misery when there is absolutely no
need of it. The subject of our por.
trait in this sketch, Mrs. Williams of
Englishtown, Nj, has been entirely
cured of such illness and misery by

Pinkham of Lynn, Mass.
] No other medicine has such record
for absolute cures, and no other medi-

German Farmers Rely on Chemistry.

Recent reports to our department of
agriculture indicate that farming is
conducted in Germany on more inn
proved and scientific principles than
anywhere else in the world, says the
Youths Companion. The German far
mers employ less machinery but more
chemistry. They pay very close atten-
tion to the fertilization of the soil. Yet
with all their efforts and all the ad-
vantages of their advanced science
they are unable to fully supply the
demand of the population of Germany
for breadstuffs They do supply sew
entighths of that demand, but the re-
naming one-eighth, which has to be
imported from abroad, amounted in
1899 to more than 50,OO0,00o bushels
of wheat alone

lection of Sea Gulls.

That sea gulls are possessed with
strong affection for each other was
clearly demonstrated near the Ogdens-
burg ferry dock the other day. Two
of these birds, evidently mates, were
flying over the water about 500 feet
from the ferry dock, when a man shot
one of them. AS the dead bird was ly-
ing on the water her mate did every
thing in his power to help her up. He
would fly close to her, and several
times tried with his bill to raise her
out of the water. He hovered around
the spot some time after the dead bird
was taken away.-Boston Weekly Bou-
Quet.

Bad circulation affects the hair The
scalp grows tight, and must be loos-
ened. Spread the hands either side of
the head and gently move the scalp
forward and backward 10 times each
day.
The hair and scalp should be as
clean as the face. They should be
! shampooed once a fortnight
Falling hair means failing health. A
tonic for the body will be better than
one for the head. Both at one time
is better still.
Weak dry hair needs food. A mix
ture of vaseline and cocoanut oil is ex-
cellent. Almond oil is also recon-
mended, for blonde hair especially.
Have the ends of the hair singed
once in three months. Cutting the
ends causes it to bleed" while sing
ing closes the hair tubes perfectly.
Never allow the haii to be wet long.
Dry it quickly with warm towels, dry
heat and friction. Every day give it a
few minutes brushing. Then rub the
scalp until it glows.

Can i Make IL Farm Pay?

Writing an answer to the often put
question, Can l Make a Farm Pay?"
Professor Bailey of Cornell. gives in
The Worlds Work some good advice.
There must be, first of all. he says, a
love of independence, love of the
country and an ambition to work for
the works sake. Speaking of the love
of country life he says:
Half of country life is in the living.

J. Warrenne Sunderland, who is now
living at Collegeville, Pa, at the age
of 81 years, claims the distinction of
founding at Collegeville in 1851, the
first institution in the world to offer
college advantages to women. The in
stitution was in existence % years,
during which nearly 1000 young wom-
en- were educated, and more than 100
gaduates took the degree of bachelor
of arts.
Mr.. Sunderland believes that he is
the only American now living who
saw the destruction of the Turkish
squadron in the harbor of Navarino,
Oct 20, 1927, by the allied fleets of
England, France and Russia.

Philip said he was the only horse there
was that amounted to anything. To
be sure, Philip was not what pompous
old DR.. Dinwiddie called a "dis-in-ter

was altogether too fond of Roderick
Dhu for that. Didn't he keep the mar

didn't all the sugar plums, every one,

view that Roderick Dhu enjoyed.

Flowers have way of advertising
that is quite as effective as the dis
play type and cuts used by merchants.
The scientists tell us that there is a
constant struggle in nature for the
propagation of species, so that the fit
test may survive, and out of this has
grown the advertising that the flowers
do.
1t is necessary that the pollen of one
flower be carried to another to pro-
duce civilizations, and natures agents
for this work are the honey loving
insects. In taking the honey from a
blossom they get their feet and legs
coated with pollen and thus carry it
from one blossom to another. With
out this fertilization many species
would soon die out and become extinct.
To save themselves and to perpet-
uate their kind the flowers must have
the services of the insects, and they
have been advertising for them from
the earliest ages. The first adver-
tisements were very plain and unpre-
tending, set, as we might say, in small
type and solid, but this simplicity did
not suit the bountiful and ambitious
designs of nature and she gave colors
and sweet odors to the flowers that
they might offer more attractions to
the insects, and thus make their visits
more frequent. Then there grew up a
rivalry among the flowers to see
which could attract the most insects,
and blossoms became larger, colors
brighter and odors sweeter.
Thus it is that the flowers advertise,
for, while it is true that their beauty
and fragrance are intended in part to
give us pleasure, it is equally true that
these characteristics were designed pri-
marily to help the flowers in their
struggle for propagation and survival

First Newspaper woman of California.

Mrs. Caroline M. Parker, the first
newspaper woman Of California, is now
bedridden old lady of 73. Her pio-
neer newspaper work was done on
the San Francisco Post in 1872, and
later she filled positions on several
other papers. An ardent suffragist,
Mrs. Parker has always been an advo-
cate of everything that pertained to
woman's progress, and now California
women are glad to show their appre-
citation of the work she has done.
In her pretty cottage at Los Angeles
Mrs. Parker is surrounded by every
comfort, and despite the pain she suf-
fers, is bright and cheerful and takes
great interest in the work of the young
women who find newspaper work east
er because she first led the way.-San

Lends Money TO Business women.

Chicago has a Business Women's
Loan association which suggests the
Little Societies" that have long -four
ished in Germany, although it is less
of philanthroDic enterprise and more
of business proposition. The Ger
man societies lend small amounts Of
money to women desiring to go into
business for themselves. and records
show that the losses of the organiza-
tions have amounted to very little.
Th Chicago association lends money
for the same uses, but requires good
security and protects itself against
any heavy loss. The need of such an
organization and its success are an
interesting commentary on the eager
ness with which women are invading
the business world.

How Coal is Made.

An interesting case of rapid trans.
formation of lockwood, or 'lignum
vitae" into coal has been reported by
Mr.. G. Arth. The pockwood had been
inserted into the bronze footstep of
12-horse power Jonval turbine, which
was making 112 revolutions. The re-
volying mass weighed about 900
pounds. The lockwood, on which the
steel pivot of the shaft rested, was
not always under water, but 1t would
always be wet. When the turbine had
been running for six months some re-
pairs became necessary, and it was
observed that the lockwood had
turned black in its upper portion; the
wood was brittle, and the fracture
strongly resembled that of coal; many
assures We're noticed. The lower por-
tion of the wood was not altered. The
black wood contained 2.75 per cent of
moisture. Dried in vacuo, it yielded
on analysis, 80 per cent. of ashes,
1856 of hydrogen, 69T6 per cent. of
carbon. and the heating value of the
dry material was found to be 7,10d
calQries. The substance would thus
occupy an intermediate position be-
tween Ignite and coal. This trans,
formation had been effected within
the short period of six months, and
the temperature could not have risen
to any high degree. The change
would, therefore, appear to be due es-
sentially to continued friction of the
wet wood. The author concludes that
we need hardly believe in the long
periods which geolQgists demand for
the formation of our coal fields.-Moni-
teur Industrial.
