HOT WEATHER SUGGESTIONS.

Every chance acquaintance, these
hot days, can tell you what to DO to
keep well and cool, but the safest ad-
wise Is keep close to Nature.
Nature says don't drink very
much ice water-use the tempered
water.
Don't eat heating dishes, warm
meats, and heavy vegetables, but
confine yourselves to light vegeta-
bles and fruits, and cold meats.
Nature, also says, and It's injunc-
ton Is in strong terms, to keep the
system in good condition, the liver,
bowels, stomach, kidneys and skin as
every one contributes to health or III
health.
Osteopathy is Natures treatment,
and the most rational for all disease,
especially the ailments incident to
hot weather. Those weak, tired out
and rundown conditions; dull head
aches; disturbed bowel conditions,
and torpid liver yield quickly to its
application.
But, let me tell you any time, of
people you know well, who will
cheerfplly tell you what Osteopathy
has dohe and is doing for them. That
Is unpIejudiced evidence and will
appeal to you. DR.. G, 3. Froage. SIG

ANOTHER ACCIDENT"
Happens to Train Carrying Grand
Duke Peter NichOlaieyitch.

St. Petersburg, July Sd.-One of
the accidents" that occur frequent
ly while members of the imperial
family are travelling happened today
while Grand Duke Peter Nicholae-
witch. cousin OF the emperor and one
of the leaders of the reactionary
group at the court, was en- route to
st. Petersburg from Peterhof. As
the train was within ten miles of ST.
Petersburg a petard, which had been
placed on the rail, exploded. The
force OF the explosion. however, was
not great enough to derail the train.
and no one was hurt.
A short distance outside of ST.
Petersburg on April 10 last an at
tempt was made on the life of Grand
Duke Nicholas and Peter, who were
returning from TsarskOe-Solo. A
fusillade of shots stopped the train.
No one was hurt. Another attempt
on the life of Grand Duke Nicholas
was made on February %. when a
workman was found preparing an
internal machine to blow up the
train on which the grand duke was
travelling.

There is not state In the Union
that is as well governed as Ken
lucky" says a Democratic contem-
porary. Waving the impossibility
of the language, we must declare our
observation that Kentucky isn't gov
erned at all. That most communi-
ties are peaceful and law-abiding
speaks only to the character of our
people: but in those restless locali-
ties where government is needed. it
il lacking. The Hargis farces and
the outrages in Trigg county, the dis
regard of the rights of citizenship
that manifested itself in the Louis
Vile elections, indicate the kind of
government we are enjoying. A CON-
munity of saints might dwell together
in amity for ages without any social
organization, but one couldn't say
they are well governed, save as they
govern themselves.

attention is paid to the natural guar
dams of youths as to the youths
themselves, the whole process of the
court being directed to the end that
the cause of the delinquency may be
removed, and the youth made n good
citizen. If that isn't economy and
good sense: If that isn't worth the
expenditure of time and money and
intellect; if that isn't conforming to
the letter Of the expressed purpose
of our whole criminal code, state and
national. then the state reformatory
is a good place to send boys, and the
county is justified in spending $4,000
annually to take them there to be
educated.

story of the Toothbrush.

Colonial diaries and letters make it
plain that our unfortunate ancestors
suffered much from jumping tooth
aches, swelled faces and THE early
loss by forcible extraction of teeth
which at a later period might have
been saved to render their owners
many years of further service. No
wonder, since the care of the teeth
was little understood and that little
often but negligently practiced.
Toothpicks were known, but the
toothbrush was not, although rough
Substitutes were employed. made of
fattened sticks, fibrous fringe. Tooth
brushes when first introduced were
regarded as by no means important
accessories to the toilet, but rather
as minor Injuries and suitable for
women only.
The diary of a London merchant
trading to the colonies has this en-
try: Bought a toothbrush for ms
wife, which. used together with salte
water. very strong, and wasshe OF
