TWO SECRETS WELL KEPT.
Tricks of Trade Guarded by Chinese
and Syrians.

"There are two trade secrets,
said an artist, that the outside
world, 1t seems, will never learn One
is Chinese secret-the making of
bright and beautiful color called ver-
million, or Chinese red. The color Is
Turkish secret-the inlaying of
the hardest steel with gold and sill
yer.
'"Among the Chinese and among
the Syrians these two secrets are
guarded well. Apprentices, before
they are taken for either trade, must
swear strong oath to reveal nothing
of what passes in the workshop
These apprentices, furthermore, must
belong TO families of standing, must
pay a large sum by way of premium
and must furnish certificates of good
character and honesty.
"You have seen damascened steel,
of course, and you have seen vermil-
lion, or Chinese red. Remember the
next time you look at these two
things that their secrets have been
guarded inviolably. have been handed
down faithfully from one generation
to another for thousands of years.

PARROT KNOWS THE SERVICES.
Pet of English Clergyman Has Re-
markabIe Saaacity.

The rector of a Hampshire (Eng)
parish possesses a most wonderful
parrot. Though the rector lives two
miles from the church, the bird in
variably accompanies him to the sa-
cred building. While the service is
proceeding the bird recognizes his
masters voice, and when he reads a
lesson or breaches one can hear the
bid outside chattecing away. The
parrot also joins in the Amens
and is evidently quite conversant with
all church service routine. The serv-
ice over. the parrot screams with de-
light, circles about its masters head
perches on his shoulder and finally
accompanies him home. The attach
ment of the master to the bird is only
equaled by the parrots evident pride
in and affection for its master.

stefan of large experience and practice,
was the first to make up an dtterdtiUc

Many women long for a child to bless
their homes. but because of some de-
bility or displacement of the female
organs they are barren.
Preparation for healthy maternity is
accomplished by Lydia E. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound more successfully
than by any other medicine, because it
gives tone and strength to the entire
female organism, curing all displace-
ments, liberation and Inflammation.
A woman who is in good physical
condition transmits to her children the
blessings of good constitution. Is
not that an incentive to prepare for a
healthy maternity?
If eXpectant mothers would fortify
themselves with Lydia e. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound, which for thirty
years has sustained thousands of
women in this condition, there would
be great decrease in miscarriages, in
suffering. and in disappointments at
birth.
The following letters to Mrs. Pink
ham demonstrate the power of Lydia
E. Pinkhams Vegetable Compound in
such cases.

BURNED OUT.
Newell Plan Adopted by Marshall
County Man to Get Liberty.

On Tuesday night Cecil Ford, the
only occupant of our county jail,
burned a hole thr ugh the floor and
with some on sid assistance made
his escape from p 90, says the Ben
ton Tribune. He was serving a Jail
term of $50 days for breach of the
peace, with the working clause in
cluded in the judgment. 1t is not
known what time in the night he
made his escape, but as he used two
iron pokers, which he heated in the
stove to do the burning, it must have
been late at night when he got out.
The sentiment of the people of the
town seems to be all one way, and
that is. that he will get out of the
state and stay away.

G0BBLED UP
SIGN PAINTERS ARRESTED FOR
PAINTING A WALL.
Maytield is Somewhat Agog Over
the Plight of the Itincrant
Painters.

Two peripatetic sign painters
struck a snag in Mayheld yesterday
They left Paducah. where they had
smooth sailing, for the county seat
of Graves, where a squall struck
them.
The Mayfield Messenger tells the
rest:
r. e. Mckay and r. r. Conner,
who are high-class painters and rep
resent the Cunning System OF Chi
cago, were warranted yesterday and
brought before Judge Webb this
morning charged with trespass, The
crime for which they were arrested
was for painting one of these flashy
Coca-Cola signs on the west wall of
the Ivy Brick store Joining the va
cant lot belonging to the Christian
church. The flashing" sign did not
suit the officials of the church and
consequently these painters were ar
rested, charged with trespassing.
I my NNlN i'liN''hANN ~ @hA'SiH's
w. j. Webb, and when they were
brought before County Judge Webb
this morning, he decided that he did
not have jurisdiction over the case,
as the grand jury was then in SEES
sion. The case was transferred to
the circuit court and they We're car
ried before Judge Bugg. to await the
action of the grand jury, and in de-
fault of bail were remanded to jail.
The Monitor adds:
They afterwards gave bond with
Messrs, =. T, Long and Ed. Gardner
as sureties. The painters obtained
permission from Mr.. Y. T, Long, who
is agent of Mr.. j, II. Iyey, the owner
of the business houses next TO the
Christian church. They proceeded
to paint a large sign which was OBJ
ieoted TO by some OF the congrega-
ton and so the arrest. The church
claims the ownership of half the wall
while Mr., Long claims the wall be-
longs to Mr. Iyey. The grand jury
will likely examine the case at once.
