One Of the best acts Of the Legis-
lature was to defeat the proposition
To change the manner of appointing
the school book commissioners. The
new scheme was for the Senate to
appoint three, the House three and
the State Teachers Association

the responsibility as that the book
trust would easily he enabled to
control the adoptions. The present
plan of appointment by the Cover

President Roosevelt again stunn-
ed the big Republican senator's and
others of his party in a speech at
the corner stone laying of an annex
to one of the government buildings
at Washington last Saturday. He
advocated national legislation in
favor of an inheritance tax, which
excited the ire of even some of the
Republican senator's and congress
men who have been closest To him
in the railroad rate legislation
Democratic comment is to the ef-
feet that the President is swinging
around To their platform, and if he
had a few more years To his term

A Problem In Wixardry.

We want to know why persons who
believe in wizards, or, at all events,
consult wizards. nearly always prefer
to believe i'm men or women who are
of a race inferior to their own or in
circumstances which prove that their
occult powers are of no use to them
selves. The rule is not invariable, for
there have been great wizards like
Paracelsus, Roger Bacon, Michael Scott
and Cagliostro, who were acknowl-
edged by those who consulted or fear
ed them to be in all ways their SUI
perlors, but it is seldom broken. In all
the letters on country superstltions
which we have published the wise"
man or woman has always gypsy blood
or some popularity Of appearance
marking out him or her unfavorably
from their kind. The wizard of India
is usually a naked savage, while those
who resort to him are civilized beings
clothed carefully in muslin. The rever-
ence Of the whites for the black obeah
man or woman in the West Indies is
the subject of countless narratives, espe-
cially in the French islands.-London
Spectator.

Frightened the Bride to Death.

In the Church of CHRISTIAN at Pisek
in Bohemia. a marriage was about to
be solemnized between Anna Roslin,
aged nineteen. and a youth Of her
choice. Bride and bridegroom stood all
ready before the altar, where were
lighted tapers. Before the priest could
unite the bridal pair one Of the tapers
became suddenly extinguished. A loud
shrek came from the bride, and she
gasped, "Meine kerze ist erloschenw
C'My taper is extinguishedrO and sank
unconscious into the arms Of the bride
groom. Immediately all attention was
turned TO the condition of the bride.
Several attempts were made to revive
the poor girl. but In vain. The bride,
I'm her chaplet and VEIL died at the al
tar rails. The superstition OF the viii
lagos Of the plain is that IL a lighted
taper becomes extinguished on either
side of the altar the person standing
on that side of the altar where the light
went out will suffer a dire calamity

OUR COMMON
SCHOOLS.

Nobody at all informed on the sub
ject believes that the Common School
System of Kentucky is what 1t ought
to be. A look at the miserable little
cabins that serve as school houses In
many, if not most of the school dis
tricts in the state, and peep inside at
the more miserable children during
school hours, on a winter day, would
convince anyone that Kentucky is be-
hind the times In the matter of Com
mon schools, but yet their are South
ern States behind Kentucky. That
Southern man would be singularly
wanting in patriotism and affection
for his people who did not desire to
have this condition improved. How
best to bring about such results car
only he ascertained through inter
change of ideas aud opinions among
persons conversant with the situation
ay1 capable OF helping the cause Thus
was suggested a Conference of the
leading educators in the Souther o
stsres, for the purpose of envolving
some plan to extend the educational
system so as to benefit all the paople.
Higher, chools and Colleges and de.
nomlnational institutions have done
great work, but they did not ''reach
the spot. What the people need is the
free school and that OF as high stand
ard as it is possible to make it, sup
ported by general taxation. There is
the rub; that question Of taxation.
The difficult thing is to induce the
people to tax themselves for schools to
the extent of having ten months
school year and teachers paid adequate
salaries In Kentucky, in the country
districts, the rule is six months
school, poor for the teachers-poor
teachers-poor scholars-poor schools
poor people Any agency by which
such state of things could be remedi-
ed should receive a welcome from all
good people. Such an agency is The
Conference for Education in the
South" which meets annual to consid-
or Southern Schools conditions and de-
wise methods 10 improve them. Its
meetings are attended by eminent citi-
zens, not only from the South but from
the North and East also, who are in
terested in ths welfare of the South
and her people. The next meeting of
the Conferen 9 will be IN Lexington
oY~M May 2-3-4, and ali who desire to
see better schools throughout the
State are invited 20 attend

Calling People to Church.

When | was examining the church
bells Of the East Riding of Yorkshire
some years ago | came to little place
called Fordon. on the wolds between
Nation ana Brdllngton. 1t was very
primitive place, quite cut Off from the
world. the few inhabitants hardly
knowing the road over the hilltop To
the next place northward. The di-
minutive building which serves as a
church is built near the brow of the
hill. 1t has no tower, bell turret or
bell cot. On inquiry l found that it
had no bell. The parson came over
on horseback now and then from a
neighboring parish, tied up his horse
outside the church, opened the door,
put on his Surplce and then walked to
the top Of the hill and cracked his whip
several times. land then ve lnaws as

Solid Emery WSeeIs.

In the production of solid emery
wheels the best cement that can be
employed is one that binds the emery
together with that degree of strength
which will resist the centrifugal strain
due to the high speed at which emery
wheels cut best-about 5000 feet speed
per minute. 1t must not soften by
frictional heat or glaze or burst or be-
come brittle and break with cold, nor
must 1t hold the cutting grains until
they are too dull to cut nor release
them so readily as to waste away the
wheel too fast. 1t must be capable Of
being thoroughly mixed evenly with
the grain emery, so that the wheel may
not have either hard or soft spots and
be out of balance, and must also be
capable of being tempered to suit diff
ferent kinds OF metal or work. Great
care and skill are required In the mat
ter of selecting only pure and strong
chemicals for these cements.-Cassier's
Magazine.

Going through the hospitals in our
large cities one is surprised to find such
large proportion of the patients lying
on those snow-white beds women
and girls, who are either awaiting
or recovering from serions operations.
Why should this be the caseP Sim
ply because they have neglected them
selves. Female troubles are certainly
on the increase among the women of
this country-they creep upon them
unawares, but every one of those
patients in the hospital beds had plenty
of warning in that bearing-down feel
ing, pain at left or right of the abdomen,
nervous exhaustion, pain in the small
of the back. dizziness, fiatulency, dis
placements of the organs or irregular
tiles. All of these symptoms are indi-
cations of an unhealthy condition of
the female organs, and If not needed
the penalty has to be paid by danger
Gus operation. When these symptoms
manifest themselves, do not drag along
until you are obliged to go TO the hos
pital and submit to an operation
but remember that Lydia f. Pink
hams Vegetable Compound has saved
thousands of women from surgical
operations.
When women are troubled with ir-
regular, suppressed or painful periods,

Meanness of Theft.

A man who has been rifling the mail
boxes of at least one city has been
caught. He was apprehended as he
sought to cash a check he had found
in his loot. The fellow deserves long
sentence, for in this peculiar form of
crime there is contemplate mean
ness absent from some petty offenses
To steal letter with money or
check within may be no worse than
other forms of larceny, but there are
concomitants that add to the gravity
of the act The mail thief does not
box, he takes whatever packets come
to hand, and those that are worthless
to him he casts away The letter that
never comes may lead TO the tragedy
4 broken friendship. 1t may impair
credit. In II there may be some mes
sage of priceless import. Happiness
and prosperity may have depended
upon its safe delivery. About all these
things the thief has not n care. Mis-
sives perhaps more precious than their
weight in gold are to him rubbish. In
destroying them he may be doing a
greater actual harm than in diverting
negotiable property. Everybody is in
terested in the safety of the mails-no
less than others those who never in
trust to them anything but written
words. When a letter has been prop
erly stamped and deposited, says the
Philadelphia Ledger, the sender has a
right to be secure in the belief that
It will reach its designated place and
not be rified by wretched thief. If
such thief is caught the necessity of
making an example of him is obvious.
Compared with him, the ordinary pick.
pocket seems almost desirable ele'
ment of society. He is the lowest type
OF criminal vandal.

Antique Autos on Parade.

antiquated and ramshackle motor cars

were represented and it took the par
ticipants several hours to cover the
distance of eight miles. A large crowd
derived much amusement from the pa
rade. No car could take part that was
less than ten years old, but many mod
ern machines accompanied the old
timers, and the comparison between
the old and the new excited much in
terest and made most striking exam
pie of the rapid progrss made in mo-
tor construction in a decade.
