FRANKFORT. KY.
STEREOPTICON LECTURE-IN
AND AROUND THE
HOLY LAND.

To be given here at Y. M. G. A.,
Monday, December IL, 1880 p. M,
by f. A. Cox.
Mr.. Fox has recently returned
from the Holy Land. He is now
delivering this lecture all over the
State, and those who have heard it
are unstinted in their praise. Mr..
Fox took his camera with him and
many of the pictures he shows are
his own. He describes what he
saw, together with the habits and
customs of the people, in such
realistic way that you feel as
though you have actually taken
the journey after having heard him.
You can learn more of Palestine
and its people in this one hours
lecture than by years reading,
because you not only hear, but you
see every place described.
Selections from this lecture were
read at the State Convention at
Henderson under the title, "Some
Interpretative Thoughts. and the
State President, Mr.. H. A. Som
mers, pronounced it one of the
gems of the convention. Old and
young alike will be interested in
this lecture. In order that all may
have an opportunity to hear it, no
admittance will be charged, but an
offering will be taken for the State
Sunday-school work. Let every
one come prepared to give some-
thing, and make IL silver Offering
If possible, as the money goes to
one of the most worthy causes In
the State, and you are getting more
than value received for your money.

CONCERNING ALCOHOLIC
COMPOUNDS
7 labeled as Medicines and Held Out
to the Public As Remedies
for Diseases.
Treasury Department,
Office of


Commissioner of Internal Revenue,
Washington. November "a, 1905.
To Collectors of Internal Revenues:
On September IL. 1905, Circular
No. 673 was issued from this Office
concerning alcoholic compounds
advertised and sold as medicine
under various names, some of which
were composed chiefly OF distilled
spirits, or mixtures thereof, with
out the addition CT drugs or medici-
nal ingredients in sufficient guam
tity to change materially the char
acter of the alcoholic liquor.
In that circular it was stated that
because these preparations were
held out to the public as medicines
would not afford ground for reliev-
ing their manufacturers from
special tax as rectifiers and whole
sale liquor dealers, and would not
relieve the retail dealers therein
from special tax as retail liqour
dealers under the provisions OF the
Federal Statutes.
It was further stated that this
Office would, by analyses made in
the chemical laboratory here Of
these various compounds, deter
mine as to whether or not those
manufacturing and handling them
would. be liable to the special tax
above named.
Further, that until such analysis
were made and conclusions reached
by this office druggists and mer-
chants selling these compounds in
good faith as medicines only would
not be affected by the new ruling
until December 1, 1906. Before
that date 1t Was tho purpose of the
office to make public announcement
of the various preparations found
by analysis to be within che terms
Of the ruling Of September IL.

"Graft" Not New.

Grating proclivities of the Amer
lean people took solid root in the days
of Washington, according to Prof.
Francis w. Shepardson, of the Uni
versity of Chicago, who declares this
particular method of acquisition is not
so bad to-day as it used to be-com-
paratively, of course, for the country
has grown considerably since its father
died. Besides, printing facilities OF
the present time are such as to give
more space and wider circulation to
the subject Of graft. Prof. Shepard
son is a recognized authority on Unit
ed States history, and as one of the
foremost historians of the country his
views on graft" delivered before a
gathering Of junior and senior students
at the University of Chicago a few days
ago, were at least theoretically con-
vincing. Present day grafters did not
appear so bad to the students vixen
they heard from the professors own
lips that graft, tainted money and vul-
gar commercialism all fiourished at the
inception of this government. why,
Peter Faneuil, who built Faneuil hall,
which historians have termed the
cradle of liberty was liquor dealer
who made his money by beating the
government" the professor solemnly
declared. There is also proof that
one of the signers of the declaration
of independence was indicted for
smuggling" the professor concluded,
impressively.

pecanting Wines.

A deposit will often form in the bot
ties, making it necessary to decant
them into other bottles. The utmost
care should be taken not to disturb
the sediment. In ia; sc wine cellars in
Europe. and in tho cellars of hotels and
clubs employing cellarman. a de
canting apparatus IS used. Decantine
old wine is delicate operation which
requires much care. The bottle should
be carried in a horizontal position and,
gently lifting it to slanting position,
insert power corkscrew" and remove
the cork without shaking Then raise
the bottle so that you can see through
the wine by candlelight and, in draw
ing it of. stop as sooa as the cloud OF
deposit in the bottle gets to the neck
In this way you avoid having any de
post, cloud or crust flowing into the
decanter.-American Wine Press.

SELECTED SCIENCE.

Fine gold has been found to be slightly
soluble in strong solution Of yellow
ammonium sulphide.
An experiment with vacuum tubes OF
several kinds by Herr Hess showed that
external friction of the tube, such as
rubbing with the free hand. stimulates
ccnductivity within.
John Butler Burke, who, through tho
discovery of photographs, has suddenly
become the most talked of man In this
United Kingdom as a man Of science, is
an Irishman, and was graduated from
Trinity college.
Radium, like all other things, must be
known by what it does. And so far as
known, the doings of radium have no
parallel in nature. The chemist has seen
that 1t shines by its own light; and this
not for day, a month, q year. but for an
illimitable period.

Children's Hair.

The reason that children's hair dark
ems as the children grow older is be-
cause the hair pigment changes, the
sulphur of iron increasing and becom-
ing more powerful than the magnesia.
The condition may be kept away to q
certain extent by shampooing the little
ones glory halo every week with eggs
and hot water, a suggestion of salts
of tartar being added to the first water.
Dandruff cannot exist when the scalp
is kept perfectly clean. Twenty-four
hours before the shampoo apply pure
olive oil to the child's head, rubbing
it in well. This will act as tonic,
and when your little girl is q big one,
wearing trailed gowns and enduring
other Affections Of the mature life, she
will have fine, healthy. thick head Of
hair.

KIND OF EGGS THEY LIKE.
New York as to Color
of Shells.

Boston prefers brown shelled eggs;
New York white" says an egg dealer
Why? 1t stumps me- There are a
good many persons who insist that
brown shelled eggs have a more deli
cate taste than white shelled ones.
But if it is true that they are more
tasty, can't understand why New
York does not insist upon them, too.
for however much the Hub may lead
US in the intellectual race, New York's
right up with the leading epicure cities
of the world in the matter of good
table. Some people think that she
takes the lead.
There are those who think that
brown eggs are prettier than white,
and for this reason prefer them for
table eggs. Boston is nothing if not
a stickler for art. 1t may be that she
believes that the crown egg is more
beautiful than the White, and therefore
insists upon it.
THE soda counters of the two cities
tell the story OF this odd difference of
preference. In New York bowls OF
white eggs tempt 10 egg shakes, egg
nogg, etc. In Boston bowls of brown
eggs tempt to the same beverages.
"As far as a diff erence of taste be-
tween the brown and the white egg
goes, it is my personal opinion that II
the most ardent believers in the differ
ence had an egg to eat which had been
broken from its shell out of their sight
they would not be able to tell whether
It had a brown or 4 white cover"

spine to the head.
Il was unable TO hold my head up
straight, the tension Of the nerves drew
it to one side, causing me the most in

drank had something to do with It,

Postum Coffee.
1--WE followed his advice, and from
the day that we began to use Postum
we both began to improve, and in
a very short time both of us were en-
tirely relieved. The nerves became
steady once more, the headache ceased,

Hereditary Fear in Animals.

People who drive 10 the Bronx zoo

wonder what causes the nervousness
of their horses after they have looked
at the animals and come out to drive
home. 1t is the wild animal scent
in their clothes. The same nantes
tations appear in the frightened horses
of the country town when the cages
of circus tigers, lions and panthers are
near enough for them to get the smell.
All dangerous wild animals have .
strong odor. In times Of excitement
this odor is emitted so excessively as
to be almost sickening. Even In the
best geological gardens and menageries
the smell of the animals cannot be
avoided.
