A Philadelphia philosopher thus ex-
plains the general preference for a

man ate in peril. The cave bear, the
sabre tooth tiger. even some warrior

ment TO leap upon him and to devour
his food, and perhaps himself. There
fore he took his meals with his back
against a cliff. or in the corner OF two
adjoining cliffs. II possible. and with
the open country before him. That.
you see. was the safest way for him TO
eat. He could not then be surprised.
And we still have in us that memory
OF the primitive man. and we still I'M

repasts. choose places that give us a
wall for our protection"

A humorous story was related as
the experience OF a reporter at a gath
ering OF women Of the press at Buff
falo. II was in a country town and
she was sent TO get an obituary from
a woman whose husband had hanged
himself in an attic. The bereaved wild
ow was a friend of the editor OF her
paper. and she was specially instruct
ed to make no allusion to the hanging
in talking with her. The first remark
of the reporter, however. led up to a
faux pas. Very pleasant weather"
she said. by way of a beginning Yes, e
answered the widow, but we haven't
had a pleasant Monday for washing in
a long time" "Oh. shouldn't think
you would mind that" said the report
err. Mamma always envied you: she
said you had such a good attic In
which to hang things"

The north pole attracts one end OF
the needle OF the compass and the
south pole attracts the other. There
fore the needle points in the same
direction whether one is north or south
OF the equator. The magnetic poles.
however. are not at the poles of revo-
luton, but about twenty degrees from
them. There arc two or them in each
hemisphere. Sir James Ross In 1881
found the principal north magnetic
mole at poin. above Hudson's bay, 20
degrees minutes north and SO degrees
az minutes west from Greenwich. The
secondary magnetic focus in the north

pole is at a point 1874 degrees south
and l47h degrees east from Green

DEMOCRATS GETTING MAD.

The fight for the Democratic nomi-
nation for congress in the First Dis
trict is waxing warmer, and some OF
the friends Of James and Grassland
are getting mad. Grassland and his
supporters are missing no opportunity
to shoot it into the congressional COM
mittee for calling an early primary
and the Mayfield Messenger. published
in Crossland's home town, has discov-
cred that in the seventy days the can
didates have in which to conduct
their respective campaigns there are
10 Sundays, and 20 per cent Of the re-
mainder of the days are always taken
up in attending to important BUSINESS
at home and other delays over which
tine candidates have no control, which,
when divided, will leave only so days
to canvass the thirteen counties, allow.
ing about four days to each county.
1t then alleges that there are 20,
636 Democrats in the district who
voted for Beckham and 1894 Of them
are in Graves county. That all of
these Democrats desire and are enti-
tied to.hear the candidates, and their
own convenience instead Of that of
the candidates, should have been con-
suited in calling a primary

they are in control of the machine"
simply ignore the rawlings of the 9TH

with,their little domestic affair, it will
be good chance for the Republicans
to step inland clean out what's left
of them with the Republican candi-
date for congress.

The congressional committee has
decided that the Schley case must
drop, and it must. Il has been al
most lost sight of since President
Roosevelt, in his scholarly, iucisive
way, decided against the petitioner,

willing to let IL be forgotten. The
more Admiral Schley and his friends
agitate it, the worse they make it for
him.

The business men of Kentucky will
take up the matter of an exhibit at
the st. Louis exposition, and probably
succeed in doing what the mossback
legislature failed to do-provide a
means for Kentucky representation.

assigned Kentucky by the exposition
people, the work of arranging for the
exhibit will begin at once.

eral hard t-backs Of late, and in the
Patrick case now on trial in New
York writing experts have shown con-
clusively that they can recognize a
signature in any way to suit those
who employ them.
Quite a number of handwriting ex-
perts have been called in the case, and
their testimony is Numerically OPP
posed. so that Jury derives no assist
ance whatever from them. One will
go upon the stand and solemnly swear
that signature is genuine, while an
other equally distinguished expert will
follow him. and with equal solemnity
swear the same signature is forgery.
There are certain rules which enable
experts to discover forgery and dem
onstrste a genuine signature, but il
seems that these rules are becoming so
mixed and antagonistic that they are
in conflict with each other and destroy
themselves in the mutual conflict.
Even the medical experts who are
called in from time to time to give
testimony differ widely in their con-
illusions, and they seem TO be of as
little benefit in the way Of throwing
light on a question as are handwrit-
ing experts. II only one side were
listened to the jury would have no
difficulty in agreeing with them ! but
SO long as they differ so.widely what
they have to say has no value.

One Of the arguments against going
into the second class was that the to-
tai assessed valuation Of property was
not sufficient to meet the increased
demands of government without a
greatly increased tax rate. 1t is like
ly,as pointed out in the county assess
ment few days ago that the asses
ments we have been getting are not
correct even on: q 80 per cent ba-
sis. The assessed value of prop
erty in McCracken county is given at
something under nine million, while
that in some of the other second class
cities alone is three times as large
and ours would doubtless be also if
we get a fair and thorough assessment.
There is no doubt but that it is going
to cost more to maintain our govern
ment under the second class charter
than the first, but IL the property is
properly assessed, it will be found
that there Is much more than has
been found by the assessor or listed,
and this will preclude the necessity
of increasing the taS rate. There
seems to be a determined disposition
on part of quite number of people to
see that the assessments are more COM
plete in the future. There are two
classes of people who do not care any
thing about the assessment, those
who do not have to pay anything but
poll tax, and those who have escaped
paying taxes ON some of thei proper
ty, aud do not desire complete as
sessment. These will always remain
silent whenever the assessment is dis
cussed, but the great bulk of the peo'
pie, who are assessed for what they
are worth, demand a change, and that
all be assessed alike and no guilty
man escape.
