Military officials who advocate the dum-dum bullet are now eontending that it is really a humane projectile, inasmuch as it knocks man out once for all instead of boring hole through him so minute that it does not interfere with his continuing the fight or return ing to it after a brief absence at the field hospital It is argued that the modern smalI-calibre bullet is the one that is really inhumane, as it tends to prolong war. '"This is an argument" !" says an authority, "that might appeal to the taxpayer, but will hardly be ac- cepted as convincing by those whose duty compels them to stand in front of flying projectiles. Every purpose is an- swered, So far as the result of battle is concerned, by wound that disables a man for the time being"

Examinations of over 100000 pairs of eyes and careful tabulation of the re- suits in the Boston public schools show that nearly all children enter the prim- ary schools with normal eyes. Tn the higher grades one-fourth of the pupils are nyopic, and in universities this in- creases until from 60 to 70 per cent. of the students are myopic. In other words, nearsightedness increases stead fly from the lower to the higher grades, and in exact proportion to the length of time devoted to the eye strain of school life.

Poultry Notes.

1t is advisable to have all perches
the same height, and at distance
of not over two feet from the
ground. Having them roost too
high is the cause of humble foot.
To increase the egg-producing
capacity of flock of hens requires
selection-the culling of the hens
and proper selection of the male, as
he is sire of all the chicks Matched.
The first rule for fall and winter
egg production, is to get out your
puilets early and keep them grow
ing from the day they break the
shell to the day they are put in
their houses in the fall.
Standardized poultry is the best
for any purpose, because the stan
dard requires that they be started
right. They are bred for results,
and, as chicks, are fed for growth.
1t is the only way to get hens that
will lay well and pay well, Have
you this kind?
1t makes no particular difference
whether hens are fed twice a day,
three times a day, four times a day,
provided the system, whichever it
is, be maintained regularly and is
governed at all times by an intelli-
gent understanding of the need of
the flock and the results obtained.
Keep the hens scratching in the
litter of the house. A little wheat
or oats will keep them busy long
time. Feed heavy enough at night
to send the fowls to their roosts
with a full crop.
Eggs in fall and early winter
must come primarily from puilets.
A hen that has laid faithfully for
nine or ten months is now just re-
covering from the moulting period.
Consequently we must not expect
her to do much in the way of pro
ducing eggs. If she is of the
American class, true she may lay
now and then enough to pay for
her keep. Primarily We must de-
pend on the pullets to furnish the
bulk of the eggs at this season of
the year. Bnt pullet must be full
ly matured before she will produce
an egg day.

State Capitol Possible Without
Extra Taxation.

In his report to the General As
sembly, just compl tied, Auditor
Coulter has the following to say in
the matter of the appropriation for
new State capitol
Inquiry has been made of the
Auditor by various members of the
General Assembly and by quite a
number of citizens of the State %
to whether or not the present reve-
nues of the State would provide
sufficient funds to build and furnish
new capitol buildings. l have given
this careful consideration and
thorough investigation, and for
answer will say that it the General
Assembly should decide to make an
appropriation for the erection of
new capitol the present revenues, if
left unlmpaired, and vigorously ad
ministered, will be able to furnish
in excess of the current expenses
at least $500, 900 per annum until
the purpose of the appropriation be
accomplished.
at will not be necessary to Dor
row a dollar, nor increase the pres
ent rate of taxation to secure
money necessary for capitol build
ing purposes.
"By painstaking and vigilant
administration Of the fiscal depart
ment of the government, and the
practise of rigid frugality with re-
gard to expenses of all departments
of government throughout the
State, a surplus equal to the de-
mands of the proposed public build
ings can be quite easily accumu-
lated.
sit will require at least three and
possibly four years to complete the
capitol buildings. 1t will be more
economical, and certainly more bus
inesslike, TO provide In the appro
priation bill that a certain stipu-
lated sum be set apart for this pur
pose out of each years revenues,
until the aggregate amount appro-
priated is consumed"

eral years.

Whisky as Pure Food.

The whisky men of Kentucky are
delighted because the Government
has agreed to allow them to make
an exhibit of their produce in the
pure food department of the United
States exhibit at the Worlds Fair.
Pure food as we understand it is
free from anything hichisinjurious
from anything which is injurious
to health2 How does whisky ever
get in this clasp Is there any pro
duct on the face of the earth that
destroys the health ct mere psopis
than whisky
Wherever there is an exhibit of
the stuff there ought to be an ex-
hibit of it's effects. We suggest
that at ST. Louis where the distilled
corn juice is displayed there be APP
propriate pictures of what whisky
produces. There should be paint
ing OF a gaiiows with man swing
ing with moose around his neck,
on him in large gilt letters the
words whisky caused this" Then
there should be another picture of
a happy home and companion
piece of a ruined one and whisky
shown as the cause of this. Dis
grace and dishonor might be pict-
ured in fifty different ways. The
penitentiary should be put upon
the canvass in large picture and
the words should be written across
the building, "More than half the
inmates came here from the use of
whisky" which the government
says is pure food. Then a few
facts like this should be hung up,
"Whisky causes more crime, more
misery and more disgrace than all
other agencies combined" A man
intoxicated on this pure food and
beating his wife might find place
in this collection, also the state
ment of some of our celebrated ply
sicians that the curse of drink is
inherited and the sins of the faith
ers ale visited on the children of
the second and third generation.
We believe these pictures would at
tract more attention than the ex-
hibit of bottled goods which the
government has classified as pure
food.-Elizabethtown News.

Sounds Warning to Young Men in
the Industrial Race.

In New York in a sermon on
"Women," Rev. DR.. Newell Dwight,
Hills has sounded a warning note
to young men in business life. "If
you don't want women to outstrip
you in the industrial race" he said,
"and compel you to come to them
when you want fifty cents you
would better stop drinking poor
whisky and quit gambling at race
tracks and in pool rooms.
Women" continued DIR. Hills
Gin spite of mans refusal to give
them the rights and privileges to
which they are entitled, are today
in 145 branches of business and in
instances showing more ability than
the men.
'In one of the greatest financial
institutions of this city not long
ago well-known man, drawing a
salary of $4,000 a year suffered
nervous collapse. The directors sc,
lected a young woman who for ten
years had been the stenographer.
She, the director told me, has done
better work than the man she sue
ceeded and is doing it for $4,000
a year.
''In fifty years, the women will
know more than the men. They
have more time to read and they
are improving their time. Eventu-
ally they will vote and tell the men
for whom they shall vote.
Eventually all the universities
will be co-educational and the
women will carry off all the prizes. > "

Judge Parker had a special grand
jury impaneled at Lexington and
gave a strong charge on the inves-
tigation of the operation of slot
machines in that city. The regu-
lar grand jury which adjourned
Saturday failed to indict the ope-
rators. The court said he did not
care to censure the action of the
late grand jury, but that he had no
patience with any man who knew
the law was being violated and
would make no effort to stop it, es-
pecially when he had been sworn
and instr ucted by the court to in
quire into and stop any violations.
The jury retired Immediately to the
grand jury room and began the in
vestigation into the slot machine
nuisance, a number of witnesses
being examined.

unication with those of neighbor
ing counties or from contact with
the people of other parts of the
State.
Kentucky has, as to the richer
and more favored parts of the
State, been the pioneer road builder
of all Western States, having more
than sixty years ago built many
miles of turnpike by which the
country traversed by them has been
developed to high degree of pro-
duction anu wealth. Stage lines
from Louisville to Maysville and
from Louisville to Nashville on
these roads long antedated the rail-
roads, while some parts of the
State were gridironed with turn
pixies built in whole or part by the
State. SO also as to slack water
improvements. The Kentucky add
Green rivers were locked and dam
med by the State near the same
period of turnpike construction, but
as in the case of the latter. the i'm
proved navigation stopped short of
the mountains, where If it had been
extended to the coal fields, with or
without the turnpikes, there would
have been a different condition
now.
While there is no longer any pos
sibility under our Constitution OF
the States resuming such policy
and remedying the wrong done the
mountains by exclusion from its
bounty, and while the slow rate at
which the Federal Government is
extending navigation in that direc-
tion may not be accelerated, justice
and good economic policy suggest
that the Legislature should take
the question up with view to IN
augurating some system by which
at least the county seats can be con-
nected with roads of easy grade
and durable construction. All that
region has been geographically sur
veyed and mapped by the Federal
Government and the possibility of
such construction demonstrated.
Discussion of the subject will do
no harm, and may lead to great
good. 1t will at least demonstrate
to the good people of the noun tains
that they are not doomed to hope

Hats off to the Zen.

All honor to the American hen.
This friend of man laid last year
l 100000, 0G0 eggs, worth in the
market $4,000, 900, besides other
millions which have never been
counted. In our own country alone
there are varieties of fowls on the
farm worth $S5,794,OO0 There are
$50, 100000 chickens which pro-
duce, in addition to the egg supply,
poultry for table purposes worth
,$136, 900, 900, making an annual
production of $3.50, 900, 600, or an
income CT 400 per cent on the in
vestment. To further demonstrate
the value of the American hen the
statistician declares that, with the
exception of 1900 the egg crop of
the United States has exceeded in
value that of the country's COM
bined gold and silver output for
every year since 1850; and the same
statement is true of the poultry pro-

Goo d Roads for the Mountains.

There lie no subject which de-
serves more attention during the
approaching session of the Legisla
ture than the condition of the
mountain counties, with view to
its betterment in every possible
way.
One of the best means to this de-
sirable end which suggests itself is
to secure better system of roads
in the mountains. From the ply
sicai conditions there but few rail-
roads have as yet penetrated them,
and until development of their rich
resources shall introduce the neces-
sary( capItal and population, the
mileage cannot be expected to in.
create. The building of railroads
there is most expensive, the region
'being traversed by few streams af-
'fording natural routes, and cut up
by parallel ranges of forbidding
mountains as outliers to the Cum
beTiian,i range. Pending the COM
ing of the time when the develop
ment of the country becomes FEAST
BILE, the wise thing to do is to Sc
cure better roads, making commun-
ication between neighboring coun-
ties more practical, az well as with
the outer world.
There has never bcev nn-
ce1sS action, either d. It
of v1e State or of communities,
looking to the making of good roads
and keeping them in order. In
this respect great wrong has been
done that portion of the State. The
roads follow the old traces of the
Indian and pioneer along the beds
of the streams subject to frequent
overflow, or up steep activities,
without the aid of engineering skill
in their location or adequate pro-
vision for their repair. So serious
has been the neglect in this respect
that it has not been many years
since there were counties in which
wheeled vehicles were not to be
found. Lumber, the chief product,
was foated to market in logs on
freshets, with sleds and horseback
service for travel. The conse-
quence has been that the people
have been isolated from intercom-
