MT. STERLING WATER WORKS
A Genuine Boon to This City, And
Our Neighbor City, WiDches-
ter as Well.

The Mt. Sterling Water, Light
& Ice Plants have given evil
dence of their real worth during
this, the most severe drought in
the history of the country. While
Danville. Winchester, Richmond,
Harrodsburg, Shelbyville, and 9th
err good cities have been forced to
shut off water, the Mt. Sterling
plant had the greatest supply of
good wholesome water, the supply
being $50 feet wide by near seven
miles back water and ranging in
denth from seven to twenty feet,
the quantity coming into the
reservoir is as much each day as is
pumped out for. the demands on
the plant. Such plant is real
treasure and shouldlbe an induce
ment to manufacturers to locate
here. Manager Baird informed us
that the supply is sufficient to
keep Mt. Sterling with plenty of
water even if there should not be
another drop of rain fall for a
year, The tax on thess plant dur
ing the drougth'has been heavy but
sufficient to keep the electric plant
at Winchester going, for the sup
ply of Winchester ice and also the
supplyinglof water for the c. d 0.
trainsl and in addition to this the
plant furnishes to farmers that
have taps all the water needed for
stock and to this was added the
he=-y,aensnd here for free water
at thescity building, court house,
graded school, public square, and
public watering places for stock.
These demands caused continuous
but the reservoir had as
muchlpure springiwater coming in
as was drawn out. In addition to
the free and commercial tax on the
plant the Superintendent informs
us he is holding himself in readi-
ness to supply water to the poor of
free of any cost and
thereby prohibit al water famine
in that city.
We have written the above with
the. object Iof attracting money
manufacturers swho need
much water in the running OF their
plantsl Ito our city where they
could feel sure of having an album
dant supply at all times. Mt.
Sterling citizens in view of this
seasons record are proud of their
plants and the more because they !
are home enterprises that bear
large. assessments and contribute
to the running expenses of our
State, county and city. With the
assurances of much water our peo-
pie could well:afford to lay them
selves out for the constructing of
other railroads, .steam aud electric,
and get right in the push for much
business.

The StnrdN Wan of Innnn

The average Jap we see in Europe
gives no fair idea of the physique of
his people. He no more represents the
average man of his people than does
the bOulevardier represent the French
peasant.
The average Japanese man. while
not tall. gives one the impression of
being probably the hardest man on
earth. He lives perpetually in the
open air and on the simplest food. His
home consists of paper screens, which
never shut the air wholly out and are
always open great part of the day.
He is hardy because he has been in
ured to the most extreme discomfort
since infancy. He does not know what
comfort is. His home has practically
no furniture. Mating. bedding mo
bed and a tray for food supply his
wants. In a land cold beyond belief
over large part of the year he never
has coal fire. but warns himself over
a box holding few fragments of burn.

Origin of City Plans

All cities. with few exceptions, trace
the origin of their plan to the inclosed
camp, and many still show marked
features of primitive Notifications. In
all early scheme for defense the in
closed square was considered the best.
From the time when wagons were
merely parked on the plain to the time
when buildings were constructed with
blank walls to the enemy. and their
facades to the open square. this plan
has been universally adopted. and
many Of the great squares or market
places of great cities still show unde-
niable evidences of these precautions
for defense In the old city of Brus-
sells the square upon which faces its
wonderful city hall is approached by
streets so narrow that they must sure
ly have been constructed with the idea
of defense in mind.-Architects and

Reason why BIRDS Make Toi1et

AS bird fashions do not change, the
lady birds of today wear the same
kind Of dresses their grandmothers
wore and are never troubled about
style. Two suits year are quite
enough for most birds, but they need
TO take great care of them. Each sep,
arate feather must be cleaned and look,
ed over and the useless ones pulled
out You have seen canary preening
his feathers by lifting them and
smoothing them out with his bill, and
you have thought him vain to do this
so often. If you neglect to comb your
hair 1t will become tangled and look
untidy, but more serious things happen
to bird who does not comb his feath-
ers. These feathers are not packed
close together, you know, but lie loose,
and have places between them filled
with air, When bird wants to get
warmer he lifts his feathers so that
these air spaces may be larger, but If
his feathers are tangled or wet and
dirty he could not raise them, and soon
he could not keep the heat in his little
body and would die, Of course.

SIZE OF THIS YEARS CROP.

The size, and directly related to this
the price, of next years cotton crop Is
a question which seriously concerns
all the Southern States, declares the
Nashville American.
The worlds crop last year was alb Jut
seventeen million bales, ten mill on of
which was produced in this country.
The other seven millions wero raised
in Egypt, Iadia and in Brazil, This
latter seven4million b Iles, however, is
mainly consumed by the countries
which grow it, and does not enter the
worlds market, aud consequently is
not a factor of much moment as bear
ing upon the price of cotton.
Conserva i've estimates seem to be
that if our crop next year does not
reach more than ten million bales the
price Will run from Is cents 10 20 cents
per pound, but that if 1t runs about
eleven or twelve millions the price will
decline proportion ately.
1t is even argued that twelve mil
lion bale crop will not bring, gross, any
more money than ten million bale
crop, and will yield less money net,
as of course 1t Will take much more to
produce twelve millions than it will
ten million bales But the argument
does not seem to be based on s.und
reas oning.
The consumption of cotton has in
creased greatly, and is being employ
ell in so many new ways that twelve
million crop will not depress the price
materially, end that the South will
show the worst sort of judgement if it
does not produce all it can-at least
twelve million bales.
As concerning the talk of antagon-
ism of foreign countries and their at
tempt to become independent of our
cotton by stimulating the industry in
their colonies, it is not believed by
those who have studied the situation
carefully that it will amount to much,
or If it does, that it viii be many years
before its effects are felt.
1t is pointed out that our conditions
are unequalled anywhere for the pro
duction of cotton, We have just the
right climate for growing it and the
long fall for picking it
We have favorable labor conditions
not found elsewhere, and the necessa.
ry rainfall, and hence are independent
of artificial irrigation, which must be
employed in Egypt. But when it is
understood, as for example, that Ger
many imports So, 600, 600 worth of our
cotton annually ii Is readily seen that
she has direct interest in the price of
the aple.
1t seems certain that if The boil wee
vii does much damage in Texas the
rest of the Southern Sta'es cannot
raise too much cotton, and If is there
fore urged upon them to plant the lar
gest crop they can properly tend and
gather.

The stiok1ehanL 1anana

The stickleback is one of the species
OF fish that build nests. There is a
legend that the stickleback builds a
nest because during the deluge it
pulled the tow out of the bilge hole of
the ark. and If 1t had not been for the
hedgehog. who plugged up the leak
with his own body, Noah and his sons
would have had an exciting time bal
