Representative Bradham told US he
made speech advocating bill reeuir-
ing sheriffs to keep blood hounds, and
that if he had been provided with
blood hounds when he was sheriff the
notorious Bill Dixon would not have
escaped. But then, if the dog-the
blood hounds are provided. will that
always insure sheritf's doing their duty?
We doubt it.
Representative Green is kept very
busy, we imagine, tho we have heard
nothing from him. he is member OF
the dispensary committee, ,and this COM
mittee has been overwhelmed with a
whole lot of bills; some to wipe out the
sale of liquor entirely; some to have

Best Gloves From MIX Fed Kids.

This is milk fed kid" said the
leather merchant. 1T is very soft
and fine and pliable, isn't it,"
He smoothed the delicate white
skin and went on:
"All first rate kid is milk fed. 1t
comes to us from the French noun
taineers. These men are superb goat
herders. Their immense flocks sup
ply the worlds kid gloves.
"The goatherds of France are
careful to keep their kids on an ex-
elusive milk diet. They pen the little
animals, with their mothers, in
rocky enclosures, where there is no
grass. At that, the kids often escape,
often manage to eat solid food. For,
with almost human perversity, kids
that shouldn't be weaned wean
themselves early, whereas calves
that should be weaned cling like
grim death to milk.
Zone meal of grass will spoil a
kids skin, will rob it of it's softness
and pliability, will harden and
coarsen and stiffen It, Hence, when
you buy kid gloves always choose
the milk fed kind"

One of the most remarkable in
stances of the name of an article
surviving its use is the penknife.
We talk Of 1t every day, but the pur-
pose for which the penknife was
originally designed exists no longer.
The pen of western civilization
was fabricated, as old people remem-
Der. of quilts, and quill pens are
still affected by old-fashioned per-
sons, who declare that no efficient
substitute has yet been found for
them.
The penknife Of our great-grand
fathers day was, indeed, triumph
of the cutters art in the keenness of
its edge. According to the rhymed
list of the requirements Of a COM
plete writer, the scribe needed "a
penknife, razor metal" always at
hand, and people who remember
how soon quill pen became I'M
suitable in the hands OF vigorous
writer's will appreciate the necessity.
To be good pen mender was one
of the first essentials in the village
pedagogue. His penknife was an in
dispensable to him as his cane
Strangely enough, there were mend
ers of pens who seemed born to fulfil
the function, and men who could
never learn the art let them try as
they might. But the penknife, prop
erly so-called, is no more, and with
its disappearance has vanished the
expert who welded it.

"From time immemorial," said a
Louisville judge, southern people have
been lavish in bestowing titles. l think
there is something in the southern tenn
permanent which explains this. l didn't

sophical disquisition. but rather to tell
how a certain Kentucky gentleman es-
tablished valid title to the rank Of colo
mel. He went to Cincinnati once with
a friend who enjoyed many acquaint-
ances in the Buckeye metropolis and
who introduced him to every one as
Colonel Brown. Everything went along
smoothly until finally one Cincinnatian

EGGS OF Various Fowls.

The white of an egg IS nearly sew
en-eighths water, the balance being
pure albumen The yolk is slightly
less than one-half water. These fig
ures apply approximately to the eggs
of turkeys, hens, geese, ducks and
guinea-fowls
To show how nearly alike the
eggs of various domestic fowls are in
respect to composition, the following
figures are given by the Department
of Agriculture:
Hens egg-5O per cent. water, IS
per cent. protein" 38 per cent. fat
Ducks egg-46 per cent. water,

Goose egg-44 per cent. water, 10

Turkey eggs per cent. water,
IS per cent. protein" SO per cent.
fat
1t should be explained that pro
TEN" is the stuff that goes to make
muscle and blood Fat, of course, is
fuel for running the body-machine.
Thus it viii be seen that eggs,
though half, or nearly half, water,
are extremity nutritious, containing
all the elements required for the
building and support of the human
body. But the old saying that an egg
contains as much nutriment as
pound of beetsteak is far from cor
rect. 1t would be nearer the fact to
estimate a pound of eggs as equal to
a pound Of lean beefsteak in nour-
ishing power.

In reply to the question, What man
or woman, not monarch or acknOwl-
edged ruler, has welded the most de4-
potic power? a writer says no single
individual has ever eQualed or even ap-
preached Jean Antoinette Poisson, the
most famous among the train of Louis
Nv. of France, who was created Mar
quise de Pompadour and for twenty
gears swayed the whole policy OF
France. She filed all public Offices with
her own nominees and made her own
creatures ministers o& France. She it
was who brought Belle Isle into office,
with his vigorous policy, and intro
duced the Able de Bernis into office TO
work her own pleasure. Previous to
1856 the policy Of France had been to
weaken Austria by alliance with Ger
many. This was arbitrarily changed
because Frederick the Great lampoon-
ed her and because Maria Theresa
wrote her Il courteous letter entered

WOMEN WORKERS IN JAPAN.
Employed as Clerks, Bookkeepers
and School Teachers.

The remarkable increase during
the last few years in the number
of women employed in various
branches of commercial life in Jap
an must be regarded as very sig
niiicant sign of the times. Not con-
tent with the occupations which
have almost exclusively belonged to
females, they have now invaded
those fields which have hitherto
been considered as belonging to the
male sex.
The experiment made in the en-
ployment of women as clerks and
bookkeepers has been found salts
factory, and we now find girls en-
ployed by many of the firms and
stores in Toxic and other large
cities. The employment of women In
these various directions will do
much toward emancipating the Jap
anese women, who have until now,
been entirely dependent on men for
the shaping of their destinies. 1t is
only natural, under such circum-
hNttAANNoS AhtiN Atl4ldlt OuuNdllOn
should engage serious public atten-
ton. The number of girls receiving
a school education, it is stated, is
now more than eight times the num-
Der of those at school ten years ago
More remarkable are the figures
given by the Toxic Educational So
ciety. Fifteen years ago the per-
centage of females admitted to the
training school was less than 20, as
compared with the men, but to-day
the rate has been completely re-
versed, the number of male appli-
cants being now about Is per cent
of the total! 1t is said that women,
as teachers, are proving themselves
superior to the men, and that there
is consequently more demand for the
former than the latter. There is no
doubt that the employment of wom-
en- in the various branches of bust
ness activity will steadily increase
with the advance of education among
them.

designates his device a boat propel-
lor. Fortunately, he Is not so en-
thusiastic over his invention as to
imagine that it can be used as sub

for sails in the merchant marine, but

Ostensibly the boat is propelled by

LATEST AUTOMOBILE WHEEL.
Springs in Tubular Spokes Substi-
tute for Pneumatic Tires.

The greatest relative expense in
connection with automobiles is not
the initial cost of the car, but the re-
placing and repairs to tires. When
the great weight of automobiles is
taken into consideration-an aver
age OF over a ton-and the rough
roads over which they travel it IS
not surprising that new tires are
constantly needed. A Cleveland man
advocates dispensing with pneumatic
tires entirely. AS a substitute he en-
ploys wheel, peculiar in construc-
ton. In this Wheel an illustration
of which is here shown, the spokes
are hollow, being made of tubes.
Encased within each tubular spoke
Is d strong spring, which abuts
