Land Of Twins and TripIetS.

Scotland is the land Of twins and
Triplets, holding long lead over her
sister countries in this matter. In
twelve months no fewer than 1,625
mothers gave birth to twins and 25
presented triplets. Scotland is among
the few countries of Europe where the
proportion of male babies is greater
than of females, Striking an average,
it is found that there are about 1O4
males to every 100 females, but the
surplus of grown up girls is neverthe-
less large, as so many men travel south
and apparently neglect to take the pre-
caution to obtain return tickets TO the
Land of Cakes. There is vet another
interesting fact about Scotland. 1t is
the land of hale old age. Recent re-
turns show that during one year 673
people died between the ages of ninety
and one hundued. Chicago Journal.

kentucky Crops.

The past week has been warm, with
plenty of moisture, and the result has
been beneficial to crops in Kentucky,
according to the weekly report issued
this morning from the local Weathe,
Bureau planting has been somewhat
retarded by rain In regard to the va
rious cereals, fruits and vegetables the
report has this to say:
"Wheat continues improving and is
most promising. 1t has begun to head
out in some of the Western and South
ern countries, where there is also some
complaint of rust.
Corn planting continues Industrious
ly; the crop has been mostly planted
in some sections and only about half
so in others. There is some complaint
of cut worms where the early planted
mas come up.
''Oats doing nicely, though growing
little slowly in some sections. Rye
is promising, and grasses and meadows
are in excellent condition.
Tobacco plants, in the main, are
still doing finely and are plentiful, ex-
cept in some sections of the western
part of the State. Cutworms, however
are doing considerable damage, and
reports Of damage from this source are
becoming more general. Some few
plants have been set out, while general
ly ground is being prepared for trans
planting, which promises to be well
under way in a week or ten days.
Hemp has been Sown and is coming
up nicely.
''The fruit situation continues very
good, improving, if anything, over last
week. Peaches will probably be a
short crop. Strawberries are ripening
in the southern counties, the crop va
rying from fair to very good.
Gardens are growing finely; pota-
toes are up and looking we'll, and toma-
toes are being set OUT

International Railway Congress
Opened in Washington With
Nearly 500 Delegates.
THE VICE PRESIDENT PRESIDED.
Three Hundred Delegates Are For
eigners and Every Railroad of I'M
pOrtance is Represented.
Tomb of Washington Was Visited Dur
ing the Day and the Collection of
the Corcoran Gallery of Art
in the Evening.

Washington, May 5.-The seventh
session Of the International Railway
Congress was formally opened here by
Vice President Charles w. Fairbanks
The opening ceremonies took place in
the ball room Of the New Willard
hotel, and was attended by nearly 500
delegates and as many of their friends.
Three hundred of the delegates are
foreigners and every railroad of i'm
pOrtance in the world is represented.
Vice President Fairbanks words OF
welcome and cOngratulation were fol
lowed by addresses by Stuyvesant
Fish, president of the American sec
ton Of the congress, and by Ernest
Girard, temporary chairman of the
permanent commission of the congress.
The five sections through which the
congress is to accomplish its work of
discussion were organized at once to
take up the duties assigned it.
Will Be in Session Ten Days.
During the afternoon the delegates
visited Mt. Vernon and the tomb OF
Washington by steamer and in, the
evening a private view of the cOllec-
ton of Corcoran gallery of art was
given.
The discussions of the sections are
conducted behind closed doors in or
der that there may be no restraint in
expressions Of opinions by delegates.
The topics to be handled are entirely
scientific and technical. The cOnclu-
sion reached by a section after due
discussion of a topic is distracted and
presented to the general congress
meetings to be held during the ten
days term of the session. These con-
illusions are printed and constitute
the work of the congress. No legis-
lation of any nature is ever enacted
by the congress and no resolutions
hiding railway arrangements to any
..ne of policy are considered.
The present is the first session of
the congress to be held in the United
States.

Judge Cochran.

What the decision of Judge Cochran
will be after hearing the argument on
the application for the removal of the
Powers case from the Scott Circuit
Court to the United States District
Court for Eastern Kentucky. is necessa-
rily matter of conjecture, but one
thing is certain, his decision will be in
accord with his ideas of justice and an
impartial Interpretation of the law.
Few Federal appointments made in
Kentucky have brought to the bench or
to public Office a man of greater ability,
finer character, or truer conception of
duty regardless of political, partisan
or personal influences than has the ap-
pointment of Judge Cochran. In all
trials where he has presided, he has
been the Judge first, and a party man
afterward. Efforts to prejudice him
against the accused on the ground that
they were active Democrats have en-
ded invariably in failure and deserved
censure for their authors. Cases
brought before him are assured of tri-
al on their merits and decision in ac-
cordance with the weight of testimony
offered.

Fourteen Chief Mistakes of Life.

Somebody has condensed the mis-
takes of life and arrived at the con-
clusion that there are fourteen of
them. Most people would say, if they
told the truth, that there was no limit
to the mistakes of life; that they were
like the drops of the ocean or the sands
on the shore in number, but it is well
to be accurate
1t is a great mistake to set up our
own standard of right and wrong, and
Judge people accordingly.
To measure the enjoyment of others
by our own.
To expect uniformity of opinion in
this world.
To look for judgment and experience
in youth.
To endeavor to mold all dispositions
alike.
To yield to immaterial trifies.
To look for perfection in our own
actions.
To worry ourselves and others with
what cannot be remedied.
Not to alleviate all that needs allevi-
alton, as far as lies in our power.
Not to make allowances for the
infrmities of others.
To consider everything impossible
that we cannot perform.
To believe only what our finite minds
can grasp.
To expect to be able to understand
everything.-Selected.

People who come down to their stores.

how 1t happens that such heavy accu-
mutation of dust should confront them
on counters and desks and other furni-
ture. If they pass in the night. says the
Boston Transcript. and see the great

around even the closest joints. their Won

health. 1t is freighted with all kinds of
peril. 1t is the medium by means Of
which the microbes of disease distribute
themselves. 1t provides the millions of
wings upon which they fly to the points
of least resistance.
But the public streets are not the only
sources of discomfort and the public
sweepers are not the only offenders. The

are to be disturbed and set in motion,
and fortunate is the household that can
escape the ordeal without anything
worse than an extra tax on muscles and
nerves.
Any triumph of invention that will
bring us nearer to dustless paradise is
to be fervently welcome and it is graft

not only among the potential features of
progress, but are coming more and more
into practice and general use. What
