CAUSE OF KENTUCKY FEUDs.
President of Berea College, I'm a Re-
cent Address, Says Educa-
tfon Il Wanting.

DR.. w. G. Frost, president of Berea
college, in the mountains of Kentucky,
recently made the following remark at
the Chautauqua assembly at Buffalo, N.
Y. on the mountain feuds:
THE absence of restraint" said he, "is
the sole cause of the feud. The noun
taineers of Appalachian America are the
descendants of colonials. not to be con-
fused with poor whites. They are south
ernors who owned land, but not slaves,
and who were loyal to the flag in the
civil war.
''The feud area has greatly contracted
in recent times. Many killings caused
by whisky or sudden anger are classed
by newspapers with feud murders. Such
is not true.
The case in Breathitt county is a po-
litical one-an outbreak unusual, and
not to be classed with ordinary feuds. As
the death Of Hamilton was the occasion
of a great sermon by DR.. Knott. which
practically ended the duel in America,
$50 we may hope the storm of opposi-
ton aroused by the death Of Marcum
may bring Us nearer the end of political
assassinatioas in Kentucky"
The cure for the feud, said Dr. Frost

CORRECTED HIS MISTAKE.
KlOniike Dentist" Got the Right
Tooth Later On and
Charged for 1t.

High prices often prevail in frontier
towns, and those who live in new settle
ments become accustomed to the charges
and think little about it. A man who
recently returned from the Klondike
tells good story which is printed in the
New York Tribune.
People get used to paying big money
for trifles. he said, and two dollars for
a box of sardines or five dollars for a
pound of bad coffee came to be regarded
as reasonable prices. But once I had
the surprise of hearing an unexpectedly
low price named. 1t was like this:
had jumping toothache-was nearly
wild with it-and went to a shanty
where I was told there was a dentist.
rough-looking fellow told me that
he was the dentist, and l asked him
to draw my tooth. He looked me over.

Make the Tropic. Contribute.

Development of the great natural re-
sources of the tropical belt of the earth Is
in the opinion of Hon. o. p Austin, chief
of the bureau of statistics, necessity for
the future progress of the world
Although this belt contains PRACTICAL,
one-half of the land area of the globe
it now contributes but one-sixth of the
exports which enter into internationat
commerce. With the growing popula-
ton of the world, and the increase of IA
cilities for transportation, a change
should be wrought in this respect Sci
erce has shown how life and health can
be protected in the tropics. and India
southern China, and other oriental coun-
tries contain populations capable Of Ia
boring, and willing to labor, in the trop-
les. Finally, Mr.. Austin points out that
in comparatively recent years praeti-
cally all the tropics, exeepttropical Amer
lea, have been brought under the con.
troll of temperate-zone countries

FISH THAT CARRIES WEAPONS.
Species That Has Skin Like Sand-Pa-

COrnered Files

Two of the fish al the aquarium wear

New York Tribune. They are the or

In hollow on the top of the back they

neighborhood of the bay have other

names for them. "Old SOW" "old maid"
and foolish" are some of the designa-
tons which they apply to them when
they sit over the fire and spin yarns.
The shape of the head and mouth is
responsible for these names. The
mouth opens upward, the lower jaw pro-
truding beyond the upper. Crustaceans
are the diet of this fish. and the shape
of the mouth and the sharp teeth with
in are for catching and destroying this
kind of food. One would say, judging
from their appearance, that their diet
was not well suited to their needs. for
they have a starved look. The other
day partJ of sightseers observed this
look.
Here's fish trying the starvation
cure" remarked one, turning to his
competitions. There's something the
matter with him. Don't you see how
thin he is?"

WON BY A BLACK LOOK.
the Ingenuity Of the Late
Cassius NJ. Clay.

The late Gen. Cassius M. Clay was a
awyer of great adroitness in his earlier
days and conducted many important
career at the bar, says southern ex-
change.
A man was once being tried for muir
der and his case looked hopeless, in
deed. He had, without any seeming
provocation, murdered one of his neigh
bors in cold blood. Not a lawyer in the
county would touch the case. It looked
bad enough to ruin the reputation Of
any barrisSer.
The man, as last extremity, appealed
to Mr. Clay to take the case for him.
tainly refuse. But when the celebrated
lawyer looked into the matter his fight
ing blood was aroused and, to the great
surprise of all, he accepted.
Then came a trial the like Of which
has seldom been seen. Clay slowly car
ried on the case, and It looked more and
more hopeless. The only ground Of
defense the prisoner had was that the
murdered man had looked at him with
such a fierce, murderous look that out
of self-defense he had struck first. A
ripple passed through the jury at this
evidence.
The time came for Clay to make his
defense. It was settled in the minds Of
the spectators that the man was guilty
of murder in the first degree. Clay calm
ly proceeded and laid all the proof be-
