Up TO the last few days, commenc-
ing with the time that James M.
Barr became director general, the re-

been a cent of surplus and no pro-

care for the exposition property an

Therefore, a receivership is inevi-

Shall We Pay Taxes to Support
Our Schools.

Every nation has crystallzed into
its public institutions its ideals of life.
Go into and community and you will
find there the best interest of it's peo-
pie manifested in It's public buildings
and public exercises. If you find a
community well supplied with athletic
grounds, and games frequently provid-
ed, and little interest manifested in
any other public enterprise, you con-
clude that the community is fond Of
athletic sports. If you enter another
community and find there well bull,
churches, neatly and carefully kept IAN
educated ministry and large congre-
cations in advance upon the services,
you conclude that you have entered
a community where religion is promi
nent in the thoughts of the people.
Were you to find, in another commun-
ity, stores and all business houses open
seven days in the week and everyone
entering the mad race for wealth you
would infer that the community in
which you are found is given over
to the worship of the Almighty dollar.
So indeed, If the school building occu-

people who are sufficiently patriotic
and thoughtful for the welfare of their

continuation Of our government and

1t is needless for me to say that we
need in Kentucky a better spirit to-
ward our schools that we need to pro-
vide for their material improvement
with a freer hand. We need an edu-
cational awakening in our pocketbooks
and our bank accounts and this will
come when we study the proper basis

Kentucky would place herself in the
most attractive position among her
sisterhood of States, a great awaken

people will do more 10 accomplish this
desired end than all other forces. She
has already begun to feet the thrill
of better hope and a better purpose.

How to Prepare a Mixture to
Cure Rheumatism.
This Town Has Its Share of Dread
Disease Which is Said t0IYield
TO Simple Home Recipe.

To relieve the worst forms of Rheu-
matlsm, take teaspoonful of the fol-
lowing mixture after each meal and at
bedtime:
Fluid Extract Dandelion, one-hali
ounce; Compound Kargon one ounce;
Compound Syrup Sarsaparilla, three
ounces.
These harmless ingredients can be
obtained from our home druggists, and
are easily mixed by shaking we'll
in bottle. Relief is generally ielt
from the first few doses.
This prescription, states a well
known authority in a Cleveland morn
ing paper, forces the clogged-up, in
active kidneys TO filter and strain
from the blood the poisonous waste
matter and uric acid, which causes
Rheumatism.
AS Rheumatism Is not only the most
painful and torturous disease, but dan
gerous to life, this simple recipe will
no doubt be greatly valued by many
sufferers here at home, who should at
once prepare the mixture to get this
relief.
1t is said that person who would
take this prescription regularly,a dose
or two daily, or even few times
week, would never have serious Kid
ney or Urinary disorders or Rheuma-
tism.
Cut this out and preserve it. Good
Rheumatism prescriptions which real
ly relieve are scarce, indeed, and when
you need it, you want it badly. Our
druggists here say they will either
supply these ingredients or make the
mixture ready to take, II any Of our
readers so prefer.

The IMMENSE power
FROM The WIND.
Sails Used in Germany to Gen.
crate EleCtri-
city.

The utilization of wind power for
the generation of electricity continues
10 receive attention in Germany, and
we learn from the Electrotechnische
Zeitschrift that Herr Gus,ave Couz,
the electrical manufacturer in Ham
burg, has been experimenting in this
direction with promising results. A
wind motor has been erected at the
works of the company in question
which has a diameter of 40 feet and
an effective sail surface of 1470 square
feet. The motor works at the rate of
about eleven revolutions per minute
which speed is regulated by automatic
modification of the direction of the
sails TO the wind. With this motor an
output of l horsepower to 80 horse
power and more may be obtained, &C
cording to the force of the wind,
which power is transmitted to a 80
horsepower, shut-wind, ironclad dyna-
mo, designated to give 120 amperes at
100 volts terminal pressure when run
ming at 700 revolutions per minute.
The current generated by this ma
chine is conducted 10 a switchboard and
is conducted to a switchboard and
thence to a battery of accumulators
having a capacity of $4,000 watt-hours,
or may be delivered to electro-moters.
So soon as the wind has attained We
locity of feet per second the dyna-
mo may be brought up TO us full
terminal pressure. An interesting wind
force the charge of the battery may
be commenced. Automatic cut-outs for
the dynamo were proved unnecessary
with the arrangement adopted. The
electromagnetic for thedynamo are pre-
manently excited by the battery, the
plus pole being connected with the
battery, while the negative pole is
connected to the charging switch. BY
this arrangement automatic regulation
of the dynamo voltage is secured. An
automatic y-discharging switch.
Small motors are connected to the
lightning circuits, but larger ones are
supplied by separate circuits branched
off from the terminals of the genera
tor.

A KNITTING Needle Case.

A most suitable present for a lover
Of knitting is case in which the diff
ferent sizes of needles may be kept
and preserved from rust when not In
use.
The outer cover, composed Of any
pretty material, may be as deliberately
worked as you like. 1t must be cut
little longer than the length of the
longest needle 1t is to hold, and about
three times as wide as 1t Is long. In
making the case you will be guided by
your own or the recipients usual re-
quirements in the way of knitting nee
dies, as one or two sizes may be pre-
ferred to the entire ''set-"

sive yellow tint and not thin" in
places Cut it to the size of the case
and allow half an inch over to be
pinked out and show over the edges.
Before fixing in, place moderately
wide piece of leather down the center
piece and make as many trimmings
across it as will correspond with the
number of knitting needles the case is
destined to hold. If desired, the leather
lining need only meet the edges of the
case, which may be bound with ribbon.
The case can be rolled up when not
in use and tied with a ribbon from the
outside. These cases can be adapted
for various uses by regulating the size
of the center runnings, into which can
be slipped embroidery silks as well
as knitting needles, and such case
lined with oil silk would make an I'D

NUNS, tied prettily with long ribbon.
When the paste is thoroughly dry, an
edging Of heavy paper or tape to finish
the pieces at the top should be added.
At the bottom or about an inch from
the edge Of each two holes should be
made, one ON either side, for through
these openings ribbons that tie the
pieces together are run. The ribbons
are made into pretty knots and help
decorate the holder. Through two
holes at the top Of the large piece Of
cardboard a ribbon Is fastened with
bowknots, so that the holder may be
attached to the wall or q desk-wher-
ever it will hang conveniently.
Quite as serviceable as the holder
and equally appropriate for man and
woman is a blotter for a desk. 1t is
made of square piece Of cardboard,
over which a light blue or delicate
pink blotting pad is placed. This is
held down by four decorative corners
made Of cardboard covered with Grape
paper In pretty floral designs. These
corners are made like right angled tri
angles to fit the square edges Of the
bottom and are attached to the latter
by fine wires.

Shooting the Whale.

The Norwegian whale fisheries ex-
tend over nearly the whole of the Arc
tic sea, from the north of Norway to-
ward Spitzbergen and even to the Shet-
land islands. The whales are shot
from small steamers, the implement
used being the so called bomb harpoon.
an arrow shaped iron spear furnished
with line, which is discharged from
small cannon. The whale often
drags the vessel long distance until
it becomes exhausted and expires. 1t
is then towed to the anchorage, where
it is stripped of the blubber. This
whale fishery was begun by a we'll
known Norwegian, Svend Foyn, in
1868 At first only the blubber was
utilized for train oil; now the bones
are crushed for manure, and the flesh
is used for fodder
