Louisville, Ky, September 19.-(Speeial) ''The Anti-Saloon league is not an insti- tuition to confiscate invested capital" :" said the Rev T. S. Buckingham, super intendent of the Anti-Saloon league in explaining why the Kentucky legislature will not be asked by the league to enact legislation which would result in the immediate enforcement of prohibition throughout the state.
 Many important men all over the state are crowding Us to seek at the next legis- lature a constitutional amendment that will make 1t possible to submit the whole question to the people," he said, but we shall not do this; that question is not for practical politics."
 Continuing he said that the league was working too slowly for some temperance people and too fast for the liquor men, but he thought 1t was going the right gait as it was not an institution 10 con fiscate invested capital. He predicted. however, that before the fight was over the manufacture and sale of liquor in Kentucky would be thing of the past

Conqressman's Troubles.

Indianapolis. September 19.--tSpeciall - The troubles of Congressman James F. Watson of Nashville, who aspires 10 the republican gubernatorial nomina tion are expected to begin next week when the State Federation of Labor meets m Muncie. Some of the labor leaders have been criticising Mr. Watson for his in dorsement of William Blakely of Shelby vile for state factory inspector. and the feeling which has been aroused over the subject is expected to crop out at the approaching convention. Blakely was ap- pointed over the protest of the labor unions, which opposed him because of the part he is alleged to have taken in the fight for recognition at Shelbyville several years ago. While Blakely has made friends with the labor forces by appoint ing none but union men as inspectors, it is said that Watson is regarded by the labor leaders as "unfriendly and danger ous."

Sheen Raisino in Australia.

The greatest industry Of Australia

ranks second among the great sheep
raising countries, Argentina being

second with 100000, and Russia
third with 70,00O,O00 Only a few
years ago Australia was first, pos
sessing no less than 106,260,0 900 head
of sheep. That was in 1891. Pro
longed droughts were the cause of the
destruction of many millions of Aus

has been an annual gain. Yet these
sheep were not indigenous to Aus

wauea Good "smellersv Earn.

There are several trades which pro-
vide men and women with good Hv-
ing simply because they enjoy an ex-
ceptionally keen sense of smell, says
the London World. Scentmakers, for
example, need some one with very
delicate sense of smell to aid them
in mixing the ingredients Of perfumes
in proper proportions. Queen Alex
andra's favorite perfume = violet
costs 4I0 per ounce bottle, and it
has to run the gauntlet of five pro-
fessional ''smellers'' before it is
passed as being correctly blended and
ready for her majesty's use.
Some of the leading firms Of per-
fume makers pay their 'smellers"
from ga to ct week. Contractors
for the lighting of streets, large pub
lie buildings and pleasure grounds
very often engage "smellers" to find
escapes of gas, one shilling being gen.
orally paid for each escape reported.
Some of these men frequently make
over 2S in a single week, the result
being that in many cases the fee has
been reduced to Cd. per escape re-
ported.

Accompanying this article are pic
lures of four Easter eggs. No. 1 shows
the pretty effect of a cabbage rose.
This is obtained by painting the sur
face of the egg to represent the close
ly folded petals of rich red rose and
fastening about it's lower end bunch
of green tissue paper leaves, the long
points being wired to hold them in
place about the egg. Such eggs are
unique and pretty to adorn the break
fast table Easter morning, placing
one on the folded white napkin at
each plate. No. 2 shows an egg rep
resenting our idea of cranky Aunt
Nan, long-faced and of sour mien. A
bit of white lawn, closely folded to fit
the egg, forms her cap A large pota-
to may be cut to answer for a shoul-
der block, into which the lower end
of the egg fits. This potato founda-
ton must also be covered with white
lawn. The features are drawn in,
first, very carefully with the pencil,
then painted with water colors

pie" whose hat may be of straw or
made of plated tissue paper. The

paper and bit of black or gay rib
bon forms the necktie. This style of
Easter egg may be made most laugh
able by painting the nose-at the end
very red, the lips a bright pink, the
cheeks a trifie paler than the lips,
the eyes twinkling black and the
hair color usually known as sandy
No. 4 gives the Easter egg in the
form of very fat baby's face looking
from the full ruff1es of hood The
egg is turned small end up, so as to
give all the roundness to the double
chin and fat cheeks. Paint with water
colors the eyes-wide open-a baby
blue, the cheeks and chin delicate pink
and the hair fiaxen. Pick out long
lashes about the wide-open eyes with
black lead pencil.
There are for sale in the shops al
sorts of china, wooden and glass eggs

satisfaction to the little ones that
