NEW RAILROAD.
L. & N. Said to be Pushing to CON-
pleteti0n Road From Madi-
SOnville TO lrvingtOn.

The Louisville Post says that it is
good authority that the Louisville
and Nashville railroad is pushing
the construction of the line proposed
to be run from jacksonville to Irv-
ington. KY, by the way of Hartford
and Fordsville and the road is said
to have agreed to purchase the line
after its completion. A company
of jacksonville capitalists propose to
build line from Madisonvilie to
Fordsville, where it will connect with
the Fordsville branch to the Louis
vile. Henderson and st. Louis rail-
way. This road would be another
step toward direct line between
Louisville and Paducah.
In view of the fact that Paducah
is likely to become an Ohio river
crossing before many years. the L..
& N. is said to be anxious to get a
better approach and more direct line
to that place than it now has. At
present that road reaches Paducah
only by running so far south that it
almost reaches Tennessee, and anoth-
er road has district advantage.
The proposed road will tap a valu-
able area of undeveloped country,
and should the l.. & N. secure the
new branch it would be but a step to
connect jacksonville with Paducah
running trains from Fordsvlle over
the, H. and st. l.. thus securing a
direct route to Paducah.

passed from his mind.
A day or two ago Palmore was in
Brownsville and was introduced to
Skaggs. The latter questioned Pal
more closely and finally said that he
owed him $50 and interest since
1851 So completely mad Palmore
lost all memory Of the matter that
he informed Skaggs that he was mis-

was correct the debt had long since
been cancelled by the statues of limi-

had the money in the bank to pay his

Palmore into the bank and began to
calculate the interest on a basis of 10

The largest lot of frogs even grown
in captivity in Pennsylvania is now
being distributed from the Pleasant
Mount hatchery, in Wayne county.
Fish Commissioner Meehan decided
last year to add frog culture to the
service rendered by the Fish Com
mission, and few were raised at the
Cory and the Erie hatcheries and
distributed. The experiment was
successful, and frog raising, it was
decided, should also be tried the
new Pleasant Mount Station. There
the frog crop has been entirely sue
cessfully, and the 300, 900 that were
raised are now being sent out.
These frogs will be the only ones
the people will get from the state
this year, as the experiment proved
a failure this season both of the
Erie and Cory. At Erie an epidem-
ic got in among the pollywogs, and
at Cory more than 100000 small
frogs We're eaten by snakes.
The process of raising young frogs
is exceedingly interesting. When
four or five days old they are ready
to ship and are from II to 2 inches
long. When II days old they are
worth 2 cents a piece for bass bait,
so there is money in raising frogs if
one knows how, since it is possible
to grow 100000 Of them to the
acre.
The frogs are shipped in cans of
400 each, packed simply in wet
moss.
The 100000 on hand are not nearly
enough to supply the acquisitions,
which come from every county.
Fish commissioner Meehan will in
the fall issue bulletins from the re-
ports of the Superintendent of the
fish hatcheries giving their expert
ence at frog raising for the benefit
aud instruction of the public.
The raising of frogs is easier than
the raising of poultry. A frog
week old planted now will be fit
for the table next year, and in two
years will be monster.
Two kinds Of frogs, the greenhead
and the Western, were raised at the
hatchery, but the greenhead is per-
ferred by epicures. The market
price of edible frogs is from $3.50 to
So dozen.

Thought and Disease.

Thousands of people actually think
themselves to death every year by al
lowing their minds to dwell on NOR
bid subjects
The idea that one has some incipient
disease in ones system, the thought OF
financial ruin, that one is getting on In
life without improving prospects-any
of these or a thousand other similar
thoughts may carry a healthy man to
premature grave. A melancholy
thought that fixes itself upon ones
mind needs as much doctoring as
physical disease. 1t needs TO be Grad
icated from the mind or it will have
just the same result as neglected
disease would have.
Every melancholy thought, every
morbid notion and every nagging wor-
ry should be resisted to the utmost, and
the patient should be protected by
cheerful thoughts of which there is a
bountiful store in everyone's possess
sion. Bright thoughts are cheaper
than drugs and plasters.
The morbid condition of mind pro-
duces morbid condition Of body, and
if the disease does happen to be in
the system it receives every encourage
ment to develop. We need more me--
