How the State Is G0uged.

The Hon, James l.. Cantrill, titu-
lar Judge of the Court of Appeals, is
now at Mississippi City drinking in
the ozone from the CULTS soothing
atmosphere and suasive waves. We
wish him a long and happy rest, but
duty 10 the Commonwealth of Ken
lucky compels us to wish also
for a cessation of the funeral side of
Cantrillism. The Hon. James +.
Cantrill is receiving in enormous sa-
larry for duties he is unable to render
the people of Kentucky. His phys
ical unfitness is very little more pro-
nounced, if at all, than his intellect
ually incapacity to sit on bench of
justice. Judge Cantrill has never
bsen. since his election to the Court
oSAppeals. fit for the discharge of
judicial duty. The business of the
State and of the people has, accord
ingly. suffered. The state treasury
suffered for one year by paying So
600 for what it cannot be fairly said
it got from James +. Cantrill the
services of an appellate Judge. 1t
is now suffering by paying two big
salaries, one to James E. Cantrill,
enabling the latter to live in Miss
issippi City, or some other health re-
sort. and another to Judge Carroll,
under title of commissioner, for what
Judge Cantrill should be doing as
judge in active duty.
We favor fair dealings, even to
Judge Cantrill but fairness, like
charity begins at home. The over
taxed public is entitled to some. at
least. of the consideration lavished
on a man never known in his days of
DYivity for excessive generously to
others.
With James +. Cantrill the sick
man, we sympathize; in the case of
James f. Cantrill. the disqualified
Judge. we feel that he ought to get
justice, but no more.
Judge Cantrill should quit the
bench or be made quit it.

Great happiness came into the

when his little daughter was restor-

Refined Torture.

The wife of a well-known official
in Washington holds some novel
ideas with reference to the punish
ment of refractory children. Ply
steal chastisement is most repugnant

evolved system that has proved
most successful.

About Women.

Women are born, not made.
There is only one kind of women
namely. women.
Schopenhauer did not approve of
women. Women did not approve of
Schopenhauer.
The chief topics of conversation in
female society are husbands and
servants. The distinction seems ar
bitaary. and doubtless is seldom
drawn.

ladies of the chorus, dye young.
The popular idea that women have
no sense of honor is quite mistaken.

Sanitary Telephones.

The suggestion that disease may
be transmitted by the telephone
mouth piece has led to devising an
Instrument which contain both trans
hitting and receiving apparatus in
a small medal case, shaped like a
watch. which is held continuously
both in speaking and listening.
The transmitting microphone is
made so sensitive that it is not nee
essary to concentrate sound waves
on it by the aid of mouthpiece.

1t is remarkable how few of the
discoveries and conquerors of the
New World died in peace.
Columbus died of broken heart;
Balboa was disgracefully beheaded;
Cortes dishonored; Sir Walter Ra-

murdered; Ojeda died in poverty;
Henry Hudson was left to the mer-

Early Balloon Ascension.

The first balloon ascension was
made in 1888 in France by Stephens
and Joseph Montgolfer, two paper
makers. They succeede in reach
ing, in a small ballon the high of fif-
teen thousand feet. Before this
date, however, Canvendish, who
had discovered hydrogen gas in 1766
and Black, who had the following
year discovered that this gas would
cause light envelop filled with it
to raise of its own accord. had laid
the foundation of aeronautice.
In the same year that the Mon
tgolfer brothers made their ascent
Prof. Charles made an ascension in
a balloon of his his own construction
before half the population of Paris.
Balloon assertions were not wholly
successful, however, until 1880. when
Green, of America introduced coal
gas instead of hydrogen with which
to initiate the bag of the balloon.
The highest balloon ascension on
record was made by Glaisher and
Covwell from Wolverhampton in
September. 1862. They reached an
altitude of seven miles, or thirty
seven thousand feet. The cold at
this height was about IL degree be-

HIGHLAND CROFTERS.
How They Lived In the Middle of the
Last Century

"
In the middle of the last century
the crofters inS the west highlands
seldom saw money and never needed
1t. They erected for themselves huts
mostly built of turf, doored with clay
and rooted with heather. They kept
a few cattle, goats and sheep. which
grazed at will on the open hillside
and provided them with milk and
wool. They lived a truly simple life.
and their needs were few. They grew
oats for their own food and potatoes.
which formed their other chief article
OF diet. Tea was an unknown lux
ury. 1t was by no means uncommon
to ind persons who had never tasted
1t. Wheaton bread had never been
seen in those parts Their clothes
were made from the 1eeces of their
own sheep, spun and woven by the
good wives during the long winter
nights and dyed from the simple dyes
made from the lichens which grew on
the stems of trees or on the powders
Of rock in the neighborhood. The
Whisky they drank came from secret
stills on the hillside and had never
paid excise. The nearest parish
church was often many miles away
No school was there for the children
Very few of them, indeed, could read
or write Still fewer had ever heard
a word of English spoken Their spir-
ltual needs, however, were not neg
lected, for they received constant Wis
its from the ''men," as they were call
ed, who had constituted themselves the
spiritual guides of their neighborhood.

A long continued and far reach

A long continued and far reach
ing howl is going up all over the
country over the stiffening of the
price Of lumber and the lumber
companies are coming in for their
full share of blame. The lumber
men, however, say that the trouble
is due not to any combination to
boost prices, but to a steadily de-
creasing source of lumber supply,
and they say, with conviction, that
prices will never be lower. and
that the day of cheap lumber is
past in this country forever. And
this is true especially of hard wood
lumber, flooring and the likes
which will continue to become
dearer. So, if you are thinking of
building a house, don't keep put
ting it off until lumber gets cheap
