OFFERED LADY INSULT,

The Sad Experience of a Gay
Christian County
LOthariO.

The Hopkinsville Kentuckian says:
North Christian has for several
weeks been reveling in a social SEN
satiCn of the first water. a well
known and prominent citizen rode
by country store and calling out an
other well-knUwn citizen made to him
proposition involving the virtue of
his wife
The man then rode away after his
proposition had been Indignantly re-
iected. He returned the same way
later in the day and found the in
jured husband and two friends wait
ing for him with shOtguns. They
made him dismount and the wife APP
peared from around a convenient cor
ner armed with a hickory withe and
proceeded to lay on blow after blow
until her strength was exhausted.
When she finally ceased, the gay Lo-
thario was in a very much battered
condition.
AS soon as he was able to make the
trip, he came to town and consulted
A lawyer in regard to a damage suit.
The lawyer, who has the reputation
of being able to diagnose a case at a
glance, said to him: You do not

THE ROMAN ANcARlA.
Ancient Postal System That Came
Down From the Persians.

NHSioUt tostat oyttem nat came
Down From the Persisns.
The carefully organized postal sys-
tenn Of today,sis Of course more COM
plete than the angaria of the ancient
Romans, yet their mail Travelled with
considerable speed.
The system of angarl, or couriers on
horseback, was borrowed from the Per-
SLAMS, who, according to Zenophon, had
established 1t under Cyrus the Elder.
The Roman adaptation of IL was the
best system of transmitting letters
among the ancient states.
All along the great Roman roads
houses were erected at a distance Of
FIVE or six miles from each other. At
each of these stations forty horses
were constantly kept, and by the help
Of relays 1t was easy to travel hun
dred miles in a day.
These services were intended for the
state only, II being imperative to Sc
cure the rapid interchange of official
communications. In the time of julius
ganized that of two letters the great
soldier wrote from Britain to Cicero at
Rome the one reached its destination
I'm twenty-six and the other in twen-
ty-elght days.
Private citizens had to trust to the
services Of slaves, and 1t is not until
the end Of the third century that we
hear of the establishment of postal
system for private persons by the En-
peror Dlocletian, but how long this
The supply of horses and their main
tenance were compulsory, and only the
emperor could grant exemption from
either. The word angaria therefore came
to mean compulsory service in dis
patching the royal mail.-Scrap Book.

Whisky Made Of Old Barrels.

"The man is grogger." said the
food inspector. HE makes whisky out
Of old barrels. Grogging is recogniz-
ed trade in some slums. You get hold
Of old whisky barrels wherein spirits
have been maturing for years, and you
pour into these barrels boiling hot wa
ter, and you wait few days. The re-
suit Of your waiting is that the hot
water turns to whisky. The wood Of
the old barrels. you see, is so saturated
with spirits that the hot water draws
out enough to make strong grade of

Flame and Wire Gauze.

To Sir Humphry Davy belongs the
credit Of discovering that the flame of
burning gas will not pass through wire
gauze having 7S4 meshes to the square
inch. This contention may be tested by
bringing a flame I'm contact with SINH
lar gauze, when 1t will be found that
the flame will not go through the
meshes. This is owing to the cooling
action Of the wire, which tends to re-
duce the temperature of the flame be-
low the ignition point, the unburned gas
passing harmlessly through. OF course
IL the gauze becomes overheated the
fame is able to get through.

STEAMSHIP ENGINES.
A Thousand Tons Of Coal Daily Feed
the 1872 Furnaces.

A Thousand Tons Of Coal Daily Feed
the 1872 Furnaces.
One of the most impressive mani
festatlons of the power of the modern
steam engine Is the sight of an up to
date freight locomotive starting train
Of forty or fifty cars and gathering
way until the whole mass Is thunder
Ing over the rails at a speed of twenty
FIVE or thirty miles an hour. When we
attempt by our unaided strength to
move heavy piece of furniture, we
understand very well what Is meant
by mass and inertia. TO move a single
loaded freight car on the level by hui
man power it Is necessary to crowd
around it as many men as can lay their
hands or shoulders against it in unit
ed propulsive effort. And hence when
we see not one, but forty or fifty load
ed cars, started from rest and swung
into their full stride by single loco
motive the latter becomes symbolical
In the popular mind of majestic power.
1t Is for this reason that to represent
the horsepower which will be neces-
sary to drive the new Cunard liners at
twenty-four and one-fourth knots an
hour we have taken the average sized
freight locomotive as our unit of COM
parison. The least amount Of power
which the designers of the Lusitania
and Mauretania found would be nee
essary to drive these ships at their con-
tract speed was 6S,000 horsepower.
Now, the horsepower of the average
freight locomotive is about 2,100, and
consequently the total thrust on the
four propellers of each of these ships
will be equal to the total pull exerted
by thlrty.two modern American freight
engines. One of these locomotives
could haul on the level train Of fifty
cars. whose total length would be just
a third of mile. Consequently the
whole 6S,0O0 power Of the Cunarder
expressed in terms Of locomotive work
would be sufficient to haul a train Of
1900 cars, whose total length would be
over five miles.
To develop a minimum of 6S,000
horsepower and maximum that Will
possibly run up to $4,000 or $4,000
horsepower calls for boiler and en-
CINE plant of truly titanic proportions.
Steam will be supplied by twenty-five
cylindrical boilers, Of which twenty
three are double ended and two single
ended, the former being seventeen feet
three inches In diameter and twenty
one feet long. The coal will be burned
In these boilers on 1872 furnaces, the
total area of whose CRATES would be
represented by a square measuring
sixty-four feet on each side, contain
ing about 1000 square feet of surface.
Night and day an army of several hun
dred firemen Will be continuously shov-
cling coal into these furnaces, where
1t Will be burned at the rate of about
1000 tons every twenty-four hours,
and to insure that the coal Is burned
at fierce white heat the air Will be
forced through the CRATES continuously
by means of powerful electrically driv-
en- fans, the rush Of air being also as
sisted by the four great smokestacks,
through which the products of combus-
ton will be discharged high up In the
air at about $50 feet above the level
Of the CRATE bars.-Sclentific American.

FOR SEASON OF 1907.

Barber No. 2765, the we'll known
German Coach Stallion, will make
the season of 1907 at ($2O.0O) twenty
dollars to insure a colt to stand up
and suck, money due when the fact
q is ascertained or the mare transferr-
ed. Barber will be found at Hartford
Fair ground on Monday, Tuesday and
Wednesday of each week, Centertown,
KY, on Thursday, Friday and Satur-
day
AS a coach horse, Barber has no
superior in the State, and we think
this is the horse the farmers need, as
it becomes necessary for them to
patronize a large breeder and raise
large stock, for this Is what the mar
ket demands, and if you have some
thing that suits the market, you
have no trouble in selling it. Barber
served 73 mares last season and must
make 100 this season.
AS to BARRIERS natural style, size,
action, color, individuality and his
extra gentle and sensible qualities,
which he transmits to his offspring,
and his far superior breeding quail
ties, proof of which is established by
him, being thoroughbred In every re-
spect, we feel safe in saying to one
and all that, all things considered,
we regard him by far the best stall
lion in the State for all classes of
mares.
Barber is a red bay, years old, ex-
ira fine set of black legs and SPLEEN
did feet, over 16 hands high, weighs
in medium flesh 1850 pounds, has
good disposition as family horse and
is as sound as silver dollar. We
will gladly do business with our old
patrons and hope to have many new
ones with good mares this season.
Ask to see him when in town. Care
taken to prevent accidents, but not
responsible should any occur
We will on September 1, 1908, offer
a premium of $4,000 in gold to the
owners of three of the best colts
sired by Barber 2765, In the season
of 19O7-$250O to the first, Is to
the second and $1,000 to the third.
