dc not deserve the name at all.
Home means comfort, but when we
have it fixed up so deliberately that
we must sit in the garnet or the back
yard to genuinely enjoy ourselves,
then it is high time we made a
change and turned out the too-good-
to-use articles and substitute for
them real homely things that we
could enjoy every day in the year
and every moment of the year and
every moment of the day.
Men like pretty home-makers, no
mistake there. They cal appreciate
beauty as well as the next one, but
they want that beauty to be of an
order that appeal to their comfort.
OF what good are cushions so elabor
ately embroidered that no head can
rest on them? What sense is there
in easy chairs of such rich material
that they are quite the reverse of the
name given them? Is there any
satisfaction in room the furnishings
of which cost hundreds of dollars,
when it is only open at rare inter-
walls, when the owner, perhaps, sits
by the kitchen fire or in some dingy
sitting room, where he can put his
feet upon the fender if he wants to,
can smoke, and as great indul-
gence, tilt back his chair?
Let the sunshine into the gloomy
rooms, have a couch to lie on, a
piano to play on; in fact. home to
live in; one wherein a sense of hos
pitality and good cheer exudes from
the very tables and chairs, instead of
mausoleum of gloomy elegance,
wherein everything is for show and
nothing to be used.

The Future of the Jews.

According to DR.. Maurice Fishberg,
writing in the Popular Science
Monthly, the future of the Jew looks
two ways. His tendencies are either
to marry with Christians or go Phys
ically down hill.
In the first place, in every county
in Europe the Jewish marriage rate is
lower than the Christians. The Jews
marry later and consequently have
fewer children-their birthrate is
lower. For the United States, figures
do not seem available, but there is
no reason to suppose that they would
be very different
The popularity is not due to ra-
cial difference, but is a social phe-
nomenon only. The Jews have low
er marriage and birth rate because
among them are relatively few ag-
ricultural laborers. They have, on
the other banda large number of mer-
chants, skilled workmen, etc., whose
lOWcl diuOHS pCOpiC
in Europe" This was not always
the case, being in fact a phenomenon
of recent years. But it seems likely
to be permanent.
This general tendency to extinction
is reinforced by two others. "A sur
vey of the census statistics published
in various European countries reveals
that wherever the Jews are subject to
special adverse legislation, segregated
in Ghettos and deprived of friendly
social intercourse with their non-Jew-
ish neighbors, very little or no inter-
with Gentiles occurs" But
where there are no such restrictions,
intermarriage Is frequent. I'm some
countries this intermarriage has as
sumed such proportions as to threat

Rest is the great restorer. We tire
our muscles by exercise and then rest
to restore them; yet a great many of
us do not stop to think how little
rest we give to our stomachs. AS a
usual thing no part of our bodies is
SO generally overworked as our d.
gestive organs. A tired and over
worked stomach will give signs Of
distress to which we pay no heed un-
til at last Dyspepsia takes hold. In
digestion is just a warning,of further
consequences. Kodol is most thor
ough stomach relief. 1t digests what
yon eat and gives the stomach the
needed rest and greatly assists in re-
storing 1t to its normal activity and
usefulness. Kodol is sold on a guar
antee relief plan. 1t is sold here by
all druggists. m

Farm Products.

The Lexington Herald thus reviews
the situation from the farmers stand
point:
With high prices for most pro-
ducts of the farm with the condit-
ions at the beginning of the farm
ing of crops, with the wheat in fine
condition, there is the promise of
another year of plenty.
The farmers seemed to have sue
ceeded in approaching a complete
CONTROL of the tobacco crop and al
ready the prices are better than for
several years. The influence of the
Society of Equity is seen in the de-
creased tobacco acreage.
The whole country Is realizing
more than ever its department upon
the farmers. The Improvements in
agricultural methods and the in
crease in the productiveness of the
soil are among the most important
factors in the prosperity of the
country. The farmer is particularly
important to every interest in Cen
trail Kentucky, in fact, farming is
almost the only productive industry
in this section and the prosperity of
the farmer means the prosperity OF
every form of business"

When Daniel Boone was CAPTURED.

Dan Beard, the organizer of the
Sons of Daniel Boone" tells the
young club members a stirring tale
each month in the Womans Home
Companion. The April number con-
tains the title tale:
THE most notorious of the rene
gades was Katepacomen, as the
Indians called him, or Simon Giyty,
as he was known to the whites.
After serving in the American army
for short time, Girty, for some real
or imaginary offense, deserted it and
Joined the savages, fighting against
the Americans, and for twenty years
thereafter lived the life of an Indian
chief among the adopted red-skin
brothers, waging war upon the whites
and decorating his belt with the
bloody scalps of his own race. The
three renegades-James Girty, Geo
Girty and Simon Girty-and two
Frenchmen were with the Indians
who captured Daniel Boon in 1777
Girty led the attack upon Bryant
Station and it was Girty who planned
to rescue Kentucky from the posses
sion of the long faces" as the In
dams called the whites, and restore
it again to the red men. But he
failed in both these undertakings.
He was, however,a man of war, pos
sessing all the cunning and treachery
attributed to the red men; but when
his comrade scout, Simon Kenton, was
captured by the Indians he did
all in his power to save him from the
torture stake"

His Life.

Derry and Raphoe, In speech at the
synod Of the Irish Protestant church,
referred to the story OF pickpoeket
having been found dead with the
watch OF the clergyman who had come
70 attend him in his hand The cler
gyman In whose experience this
strange incident occurred was the late
Rev. w. Fl. White, chaplain of the
Savoy and chaplain to the speaker OF
the British house of commons In the
reign of Speaker Brand. Mr. White
was aroused in the small hours of the
morning from his sleep by sick call
when, early in his ministry, he was
curate In Brighton parish. He
was summoned to a bad quarter of
the town and was led to the bedside
Of q man who was rapidly sinking,
amid surroundings Of restitution and
squalor. The man passed away while
Mr.. White was offering prayer In his
behalf. and Mr.. White. on rising from
his knees, discovered to his astonish-
ment that hts watch had been removed
from his pocket and was held tightly
IN the grasp of the dead man.

In Mississippi there was a colored
preacher noted In those parts for the
extreme frankness and candor OF his
exh0rtations to his wicked brethren
to reform. On one occasion. relates
Representative John Sharp Williams,
the divine was holding forth on the
sin OF theft. Among other things he
said. Il see befo' me ten chicken
thieves, includin' Dan Samson" This
bald statement OF fact rather aroused
the resentment of the aforesaid Sam
son, and, he threatened the minister
with personal violence. The latter's
friends persuaded the divine to with
draw the accusation III Samson would
promise not to offer the minister any
hurt The question seemed about to
be adjusted, 1t being settled that the
clergyman should, on the following
Sunday, publicly retract his statement
as to the honesty of Mr.. Samson
