lines:

How can the people Of Kentucky be
tired of the Hon. JOSEPH CLAY STILES
BLACKBURN? He is not tired OF them.
They have kept him in Office most Of the
time for a generation. II he went from
the Senate in 1897 twas but to return
in 1901. They count not well who think
they're going to leave him out in 1907.

words, He that dallies is q bastard and
he that doubts is damned Kentucky
does not breed doubters and dallien.

eats fire occasionally, he never lets II

caliber may be some diameters less than
that OF the Hon. JOHN WESLEY GAINES,

it will compare very favorably with that

Simple Grief.
rom the New York Tribune.

From the New York tribune.
A priest in a factory district of western
Massachusetts recently began a crusade
against costly funerals among his parish
toner's. On investigation he found that their
expense frequently impoverished the be-
reaved family, and that In order to pay
for a magnificent coffin, elaborate floral
settings and long procession of carriages,
all of which constituted only "a passing
pageant of an hour" household was often
compelled to deny itself for months the
bare necessities of life. In his pulpit ac-
cor6ingly he openly denounced such prac-
tees and asked that henceforth those of
his flock who died be buried as simply as
they had lived.
The words of this priest bore good fruit
Simplicity inste I'D of ostentation has more
and more characterized the funerals of his
parish. and as result the community as
q whole has been much happier. This was
not because 1t grieved the less over its
Dead but because, being less starved by
extravagant manifestations of its sorrows,
it could bear them with greater fortitude
Nor has single parish only been blessed.
The sentiment against costly ceremonials
for the dead has spread to other parts of
Massachusetts, where other clergymen have
followed the example of the priest.
1t is to be hoped that the gospel of simple
grief, as some have called 1t, may find its
gycrk vaster good? Where could It's ma
tertal benefits, those which keep the cup
board stored, the muscles strong and the
nerves steady, be more felt than in the
crowded tenement districts, where death
comes most often and life is hardest to
live. And where could 1t perform greater
spiritual mission. the sort which puts sin
certify before outward display. and full
d art before a full purse. than in some OF

Poison in Eggs.
Letter to the London Telegraph.

Paris Letter TO the London Telegraph.
Eggs may be poisonous even before they
are laid" is the cheerful statement made by
Prof. Metchnikoff of the Pasteur Institute
in the witness box. The whites may con-
tain disease-breeding microbes. These,
when heated, survive in a negotiating state
UP to 60 degrees centigrade, or 140 degrees
Fahrenheit. Consequently raw or even
partly cooked egg, however fresh, may al
ways be poisonous, owing to the possible
presence of lively bacilli in the white, and
contained therein from the very beginning.
The professors evidence was given In a
case before the first chamber, in which
pastry cook is being sued by twenty-five
persons who had been made very Ill by eat
ing some of his cream tarts and by the
heirs of a twenty-sixth who died of it. Of

The Endowed College Athlete.

From the Saturday Evening Post.
The proposal Of certain Cornell alumni
to establish a scholarship to be awarded
on the basis of scholastic attainments,
character and athletics combined opens up
vistas of delight to the comic spirit. On
the face of 1t, the proposal is identical with
the Cecil Rhodes bequest: but whereas that
was received with JOY, this Is opposed with
reprobation. and especially at Ithaca If
IL is right for an English university to re-
ward sportsmanlike prowess with sti-
pend, why is 1t wrong for an American
university? Simply because 1t is. There
athletics is. and always has been, pri-
mariy a pastime. Here we make of it
first and last a business. In England the
authorities are not for moment to be
suspected of tendency to swerye from tho
line of rectitude in order to further the
chances of beating the rival university.
At Cambridge. it Is true, there once were
signs of pique over the sudden influx OF
tried athletes at Oxford. but the occasion
was at the worst one of half-sattrical jest
In America we know by bitter experience
that even college faculties are prone to cul-
tivate success on the field as a mere adj
vertisement Once legalize the endowed
athlete, and the way is opened up to
hideous orgy of professionalism In mas
