Prettiest Girls In the World.

A man who has travelled far and wide
over the face of the earth, visiting
nearly every country known to civili-

the prettiest girls in the world are to

ply In Limerick, Ireland. There is
freshness of face, lustrousness of eyes,
healthfulness of color and complexion
about the Limerick girls en- masse that
carry off the sweepstakes trophy The
girls of Cork, and Of the lakes-in fact
of the country all the way down from
Dublin-are somewhat of the Limerick
order, In form they constitute a hap

maids across one channel and then

Critical Year of Married Life.

Some folks have way of declaring
that the first year of their married life
Is the most trying" writes Edward Box
In the Ladies' Home Journal. But
where one gets close knowledge of
several families the conviction Is
brought home that the. trying period
lies beyond the first year. should fix it
rather at the third year, when the pref
ty trousseau Is showing wear and
needs replenishlng; when the wedding
presents have lost their lustre, and this
thing has worn out and that thing has
to be replaced; when a little family is
growing up and doctors bills are in
troduced into the family reckoning.
That is the trying period when inter-
ests are apt to become very close. Like
wise calculations. Then It is that the
saving of the comparatively care-free
and less expensive first year Of married
life comes in handy, or Is sadly missed
IL the income was then lived up to in
unnecessary buying and foolish enter
tanning. A great deal OF happiness In
this world Is wrecked by debt, and gen.
orally the debt could have been avoid

sense had been exercised"

CURE FOR sEAsIcKNEss
Locking Into a Mirror Said to be &
Remedy

New York. Nov. 1.-The New York
World says:
If the Italian ambassador to the United
States. Signor Major des Planches has
really discovered a cure for seasickness,
he will go down to posterity as a bene-
factor, especially as the remedy is a sim
pie one-the fixing of one eyes upon a
mirror
Signor des Planches has suffered ex-
tremely from seasickness and he was
SO much impressed by his observation
and experiences on recent voyage that
he wrote to DR.. E. Castelli a distin-
guished physician. living at 1918 K street
Washington, D. c.. describing them. In
his letter the ambassador said:

treatment of seasickness. I take pleasure
in giving you my personal observations

experience that the only way not 10 suffer
from seasickness was to lie in horizon

lions of seasickness. During my last

cred remedy. and always with good re-
suits. Take into consideration my obbser-
walton and make it yours. if you think it
may be a benefit to science
This impressed Dr. Castelli, who straight
away considered it scientifically.
The physician says this clever observa-
ton of the Ambassador may be another
clue to the real cause of seasickness,
and he goes on:
During my last t<sp, convinced OF the
possibility that cerer-sl anaemia was the
principal cause of seasicKness, recon-
mended to many travellers the use OF
red glasses in connection with the ad-
ministration of euquinine for the purpose

result of the consciousness of the oscil-

The editor of the Kentuckian has

law, provided the candidates asked
for It and voluntarily assumed the
expenses. But in the matter sug-
gested, why not resort to the time
honored game of craps, if the gang
are unwilling to trust themselves in
the hands of Gov Hendrick, Gov.
Black or Gov. Breckenridge, as the
case may be.
Hopkinsville Kentuckian., 1902-10-14

John Hendrick in opening his
campaign for Governor laid great
stress upon the ineligibility OF Gov &.
Beckham for reelection. We can t
see what the iueligibility of Gov.
Beckham has to do with the eligi-
bility of John Hendrick, but on that
point here is what the constitution
saws about the office of Governor:
"He shall be elected for a term or
four years; he shall be Ineligible
for the succeeding four years, -
Breckinridge News.
Section IS of the constitution pro-
vides that under certain conditions
a governor may be elected for less
than four years, to stand in the
place of a man who was ineligible.
It further provides that governor
elected one "term" shall be ineligI-
BILE for the next. The ablest law
yers Kentucky has produced in this
generation say that a part of
term is a term in the eyes of the
law, because a governors term or
terms IS limited to four years. The
legal de6uition for "term" is 1.-the
time for which anything lasts.
A governors term may be four
years or it may be less if it does
not last four years. A term of
court may be four weeks or 1t may
be three weeks, if it starts a week
late. A convict's term may be two
years or it may be 20 months, if he
gets credit for good time, or it may
be twenty weeks if he happens to
be a gambler and stands in with
the governor and touches the right
button. The court holds a short
term, the convict serves a short
term and the law makes no distinc-
ton between terms and parts of
terms. Beckham is serving a term
as governor now and is ineligible
for another term. Have we made
it plain enough?
