Kangaroos would be very apt to get

small and like an antelope, They
pre-, like all kangaroos, very shy.
Immediately after a baby kangaroo

recently, 1t is placed in its mothers

Only one patient at the Lexington asy-
lum is now In restraint In any way, in
stead Of some twenty-six or more, as
was usually the case in the past. Only
human methods Of handling the patients
are to be permitted IN the future and
every effort will be made to have the
three asylums for the insane in Ken
tucky on the same footing as the State
asylum in Iowa, where not patient is
restrained, aud where there are no iron
bars and dungeons. The attendants
are being required now, in the three
asylums in this State, to use no force
and to work to cure the patients instead
Of simply restraining them.
Gov. Wilson has announced to the
Board Of Control Of charitable Insti-
tutions that he wants no restraint more
than is absolutely necessary in the asy-
lums. He says he wants TALL the straight.
jackets and handouts and legirons and
padded cells done away with and the
insane persons treated as though they
were persons diseased, not criminals,
The Governor says that the insane car
be handled by restraint and that 1t Ii

It is not the purpose of the asylums
he says the patients are put there to b,

because they have committed an
wrong. The governor does not thinl
that II is necesI to confine the pat
tents as much as they have been con
fined, and he wants TO have the Ken
tucky asylums like those model ones II
some other States where no restraint |
exercised.
As result Of the Governors request
a change has already been worked i
the asylum at Lexington. When tn

was found that twenty-six persons wer

A JOLLY RIDE.
Our Country Cousins Recently
Enjoyed a Hay Ride and Had
A Merry Time.

Not long since a party Of young
people In honor OF Misses Myrtle Nor
rell, Francis Boggs and Aurors Flaugh
er, went hayriding. The means OF
conveyance was large wagon load
OF hay was drawn by four horses
The party consisted OF seven couple
and were all out for good time.
The crowd was picked up from here
and there until the number was
obtained, then for the start, 1t was a
fit night for ride like this, for 1t
began Just at the fall OF evening and
a full moon rounding into sight from
over the hills was Just peeping into
sight into n peaceful valley between
the vine clad hills OF old Kentucky.
All was hushed except the merry and
idle gossip of the youngsters whose
approach was long foretold by thunder
GUS roars or In piercing yells. The
wagon went hurriedly over horned
rocks, and through mud puddles, and
over rough ways and smooth ones.
Now and then lights cleaned
through the windows of some farm'
house an evidence that retirement had
b come, andw oe unto those
in slumbers for they were disturbed In
their dreams. People came to the
doors amazed at the noise and doubt
less wondered II the night riders were
Invading their community.
All along the journey dogs barked
and pigs squalled and girls giggled
No doubt the jubilant ones thought
the world seemed bigger and the mool
shine brighter than ever before.
Songs were sung and jigs whistlet
and yarns spun," and at no time dur
ing the drive did anyone feel fatiguet
or sleepy,e and just when the nigh
had been exchanged for the morning
and when sister moon had gone NOR
than half her journey through tn
skies, the happy youngsters disband
ed and departed to their homes, de
lighted with their moonlight drive an
wishing for another in the future.

each other all the blessings that
could come to the life of a public
speaker. But now-the truth is he
does not know that Florida is on the

splendid history and achievements
they have no place in that editorial
sanctum at New York. The other

HOW MIXTURE IS
PREPARED BY
ANYONE
Simple Prescription Easily
Mixed to Cure Kidneys
And Bladder.

A large New York health publica-
tion tells its readers of a number of
simple and safe prescriptions that can
be made at home. The following,
however, for the cure of rheumatism
and kidney and bladder troubles re-
ceives the greatest praise. viz: Fluid
Extract Dandelion, one-half ounce;
Compound Kargon, one ounce; Com
pound Syrup Sarsaparilla, three
ounces These simple, harmless in
gradients can be obtained at any
good prescription pharmacy at little
cost and are mixed by shaking well
in bottle.
The dose for adults is teaspoonful
after each meal and at bedtime, drink
ing a full tumblerful of water after
each dose 1t is further stated that
this prescription is positive remedy
for kidney trouble and lame back,
weak bladder and urinary difficulties,
especially of the elderly people, and
one of the best things to be used in
rheumatic Affections, relieving the
aches and pains and reducing swell
ings
"A well-known local druggist states
that this mixture acts directly upon
the elimipative tissues OF the kidneys:
cleanses these spongelike organs and
gives them power to sift and strain
acid from the blood which is the cause
of rheumatism.
Cut this out and hand to some suf-
ferer which would certainly be an act
of humanity. s*s

Ship Canal Across Florida
F. P. Fleming in The Tradesman

the Florida peninsular. In my own
opinion, while the project is a thor
oughly feasible one, and | am inclined
to thing would prove a financial sue
cess, it is too great an undertaking
for a private enterprise and should
be undertaken by the general govern
ment.
The government having undertaken
the work of constructing the Panama
canal, which is of much greater i'm
portance, | do not suppose will under
take the Florida canal until the former
is completed.
Besides a ship canal, there have
been variouse projects with a view of
barge canal ACROSS the state, con-
meeting the Gulf and Atlantic water
WAYS, but nothing tangible has devel-
oped SO far.
The only canal company in the
state that / am aware of which has
succeeded in accomplishing canal work
is the Florida Coast Line and Trans
portation company. This company
was incorporated some years ago and
has just completed a continuous water
way along the east coast from st. Au-
gustine to the waters of Biscayne bay,
at Miami, a distance of something
over 800 miles, a large portion of
which, however, consists of natural
waterways, but for a considerable part
required deepening. l understand that
it is proposed by this company to con-
tinue its work to connect with the st.
Johns river.
