Solar Activity During Years 1s33-10oo.
From a close investigation of the
solar records of the period 1S33-19O0
DR.. w. J. S. Lockyer concludes that
there is an alternate increase and de-
crease in the length of a sun spot
period reckoning from minimum to
minimum. The epoch OF maximum
varies regularly with respect to the
preceding minimum, the amplitude of
variation being about eight-tenths OF
a year plus and minus and the cycle
being about thirty-fve years. The
total spotted area varies, regularly in a
cycle of about thirty-five years. Gil
mate variations, frequency of auroras
and magnetic storms are, he concludes.
in general accordance with the thirty
five year period and there is no tndi-
cation of a fifty-five year cycle.

Oil IN MARSHALL
Excitement Over Alleged Discovery
Of J. T. 0zment.
A Stock Company Being Formed to
Sink o Well and Get Q Gusher.

Benton, KY, June 20-A stock
company is being formed here to sink
an oil we'll in Marshall county.
There has been some excitement
over the discovery Of what purports to
be an oil we'll. J. 7. Ozment, ex-
jailer Of the county, owns piece of
land about two miles east Of Benton,
ON the Benton and Birmingham road,
Just on the east side of Clark's river.
For some time, early last spring in
passing q certain part of his farm he
could smell oil, but supposed it had
been spilled by some one in passing
along the road nearby. Later on he
found the place where oil and water
came out of the ground, which he put
into a bottle and showed it to few Of
his his best friends. An investigation
was at once begun and il was found to
contain much oil and came out OF the
ground where il had leaked through
place underneath which is supposed
20 be oil.

Favor TO Butte
King Edward Shows a Preference
for Young Marquis.
He Will Probably Sit with His Elders,
Instead Of Those of His Glass.

London, June 2O--A pleasing i'm
preston has been created by the report
that the king has intimated his wish
to have the young Marquis of Butte
attend the coronation, despite the fact
that the latter according to strict rule
and precedent, would not be entitled
to admission to the Abbey with his
fellow peers. Lord Butte came of age
today, but as he will not take his seat
in the house Of lords before the coron-
alton ceremony he would not be allot-
ted the seat proper to his rank at the
great function next week, II there was
. strict adherence to Official etiquette.
1t now seems probable, however,
that the question of form will be
waived and the young marquis will be
found seated among his elders instead
Of on the special bench provided for
peers and peeresses in their own right
who are minors.
II King Edward makes an exception
in this case it will not be the first time
he has showed special favor toward
the young marquis. A year ago when
the Marquis of Butte was received in
audience by the king for the purpose
OF returning to the sovereign his dead
fathers insignia of the Order Of the
Thistle, the king was exceptionally
cordial and gracious to the young
peer. and by his conduct he gave all
to understand that the i'll will aid al.
most downright animosity towards the
court manifested by the late Lord
Butte during the late reign in connec.
tion with the treatment to which his
aunt, the unfortunate Lady Flora
Hastings, had been subjected while
member of the royal household some
sixty years ago had become thing Of
the past.

MASONIC BANQUET
A Large Crowd at May6eId Last
Evening.
500 Masons Gather Around the Board
and Enjoy Themselves.

The Masons's excursion special to
Mayfield last night was well attended
and about $50 persons went down.
Deans band was taken along and
besides several concerts given on the
streets here and at the train very
nice program was rendered in Mayfield
ON the street corners. The Masons re-
paired to the Wooden Mills building
where they went through the degree
work and then the big banquet was
spread. There were covers for 600
and so large was the crowd that all
could not be seated and several had
to wait. There were about 500 Ma
sons in attendance and the remainder
of the guests were outsiders who had
received Authorizations to attend
the banquet. The speeches made were
very witty and the banquet was fin
ished about 1890. The train left
Msyfeld at 1915 and made the run
into Paduoah in 25 minutes, regular
cannon ball time. The local Masons
are well pleased with the reception
and entertainment given them and
will always remember the Msyfeld
order for its hospitality. The ban.
quet was the largest ever spread in
West Kentucky.

what whisky Drinking Means.

How many men would buy a ticket
in death lottery?
Suppose that some very rich man
should start a lottery in which one
ticket in every hundred meant death
He could not sell the tickets. He could
not give them away. He could not
get rid of them even if he paid people
to take them, Offering them money,
pleasure and excitement.
Every man would say: 81 will not
have a ticket in such a lottery at any
price. | might not be the man in q
hundred destined TO die, but, anyhow,
| will not take a ticket"
Does not every man who starts out
to drink whisky in a small way really
take ticket in death lottery?
OF hundred young men who begin
drinking whisky at least one is ruined
as a matter of fact, the percentage ia
unfortunately much greater.
The punishment of the unfortunate
ones in the lottery of drink is really
greater than if that lottery really
meant immediate death.
Drink, when it masters a man, is
worse than death. Every man worthy
OF the name would rather be dead thaa
a slave, and whisky means slavery for
those whom it conquers.

The Menace of Intemperance.

The menace of interlperance has be-
come so gigantic that it is rapidly as
suming the proportion OF worldwide
peril In Germany. the place where
above all others. drinking has been
proclaimed as harmless, and the nat
ural satisfaction of simple and nor
NAL appetite, urgent voices are rails
ing the cry of alarm, and these from
sources not likely to be easily passed
by as partaking of temperance fanati-
cism. The hold of the drinking on
university life, to say nothing of the
military and industrial classes, is q
fact so general and appalling that
most earnest efforts are being made by
cool headed and open-eyed lovers of
the Fatherland to avert the danger
which approaches with increasing ra-
pidity. In France a similar state of
AFFAIRS Is observed. The supposed
harmless habit of wine drinking has
developed appetites for more danger
ous and deadly beverages. until the
manhood of France is being sapped by
the drinking Of absinthe and other
native and imported drinks, almost
equally noxious. In England a more
open inebriety is more evident on
every hand. The public house is the
foe of England's progress. The poorer
classes make 1T their constant resort,
and the scenes of degradation wit
messed not only in the slum districts
Of London, and other large cities, but
the industrial sections, and even in
residence portions of the city. are
enough to fill the mind of any lover OF
humanity with apprehension and dis
tress.

Where once the dainty tiutings were
Is now a faded brown.
Tho steps are rOtting; in the porch
Great gaping holes are seen:
The roof-tree's broken; with thick mold
The boards are fairly green.
The yard is filled with weeds and tras h;
The walk is crumbling fast:
The trees and shrubs are broken-an
Their beauty-days are past
The sagging rails tug at their posts
As though they fain would drop,
Aye all is drear and desolate
From floor TO chimney top.
And yet about the crazy door
And round the tottering stoop
Chambers and clings tendriled vine
In many a verdant loop;
And on that vine bright blossoms glow
And smile through all the day;
From every dainty how'r the bees
Sweet burdens bear away.
The broken house-a ruined man
With blighted life and fame;
Soul windows dimmed, a tarnished coat
more than tarnished name.

Whose fragrant blossoms bless the world
Through all the changing years.

school Children and Alcohol.

Prof. Hannel, a well-known German
professor of pedagogy, has been maxi
ing some interesting Investigations on
the effect of alcohol on German school
children. His inquiries have extended
over 1888 cases, children between the
ages of six and eleven. Only 2.26 per
cent of the entire number of children
professed to be ignorant of the taste
OF strong drink, and 1874 per cent con-
fessed to having been once or oftener
drunk. over IL per cent have daily
supplies of drink given to them, and
over per cent drink alcohol in some
form before they leave for school in
the morning. Teachers unanimously
declare that children who habitually
use alcohol are the worst in the school
and that the children of drunkards are
always a source of trouble. One in
spector of schools in the Rhine prov
lnces has eleven children under his
care. the offspring of notorious drunk
