children's Favorlts Toys.

A hundred and thirty-two school
boys OF Paris and u girls were invited
y describe their preferences In the
way Of toys. Among the former 81
voted for railway train, 23 for tin
soldiers, ten for steam engines, nine
for building bricks and eight each for
toy typewriters and mechanical horses.
Forty girls-a solid majority-de-
clared without hesitation that a doll
was superior tc any other implement
of recreation. The super-child seems,
happily, long way off.

spIndIe.shanked Men Of To-day.

"You see," said Mr.. Simpson, editor
of the American Gentleman, trousers
are trousers and there are no new
ideas possible in them. We've had the
baggy trousers and the peg-top. The
normal has now been attained and
we're going to stick to it. Knee
breeches? Oh, my, no! You'll never
see them in America-not even fol-
evening dress. The trouble is that
the modern city man is too spindle
shanked and knock-kneed to wear
them with distinction. And It's not
only the city mans legs that are de-
teriorating in grace and strength. It's
a well known fact among tailors that
the man of to-day is physically inferior
to bis grandfather. It's the extension
of transit facilities and elevator serv-
ice that is running him. Nowadays II
a man has any flesh it's under his
vaistband."

H. E. Roseberry, pastor of the M.
E. church South, at Sardis, this
county, has resigned, and will leave
in few days to join his wife in
Louisville. His resignation he says
is due to several men in that neigh

miserable because he preached a
number of sermons against night
riders, and lawlessness in Kentucky,
Mason county, and he
claims they tried to burn him up by
setting fire to the parsonage on the

Fought Under Six Flags

A remarkable soldier has just died
at Budapest in the person of General
Stephen Turr, one of the bravest rev.
olutionary generals that eyer lived.
He commenced his military career
as lieutenant in the Austrian army.
Then he fought for the Hungarian
revolutionary government, helped
to quell a German revolution, and
joined Garibaldi in his great struggle.
On the outbreak of the Crimean war
he served as a volunteer in Omar
Pacha's army against Russia, and
finally received a commission in the
British transport service. 1t was
while buying horses for the British
army at Budapest in 1855 that the
general was seized by the Austrians
as a deserter and sentenced. to death.
But both the British and the French
government made such emphatic
protests against this sentence that it
was commuted TO banishment.

WHAT THEIKIDNEYS DO
Their Unceasing Work Keeps
Us Strong and Healthy.

All the blood in the body passes
through the kidneys once every three
minutes. The kidneys filter the
blood. They work night and day.
When healthy they remove about
800 grains of impure matter daily,
when unhealthy some part of this
impure matter is left in the blood.
This brings on many diseases and
symptoms-pain in the back, head
ache, nervousness, hot, dry skin,
rheumatism, gout, gravel, disorders
of the eyesight and hearing, dizzi-
ness, irregular heart, debility, drow-
siness, dropsy, deposits in the urine,
etc. But if you keep the filters
right you will have no trouble with
your kidneys.
Mrs. w. l. Bailey, living on East
Greenville street, Madisonville, KY,
says: 1T is four years since recon-
mended Doan's Kidney Pills through
our papers, and my confidence in
them during the time which has
elapsed has not been shattered in the
least, but to the contrary, | learned
more about them and can recon-
mend them even more strongly. l
said at that time that Mr.. Bailey
had suffered with kidney complaint
off and on for a number of years,
and had used almost every known
for this trouble but nothing
brought permanent results. He fl
nally learned of Doan's Kidney Pills
and got a box. They benefited him
in every way, more so than all other
kidney medicines he had ever tried.
He has used them many times during
the past four years, and they have
never failed to give him relief from
these severe attacks. l have used
Doan's Kidney Pills myself for a
weakened condition Of the kidneys
and they proved just as satisfactory
in my case. We both think there is
no remedy like Doan's Kidney Pills.

HAY 80 INCHES.
Third Crop of Alfalfa Cut BY
Mr.. Geo. V. Green.

Hon. Geo. V. Green has just cut
the third crop of alfalfa hay from a
field on his farm in the suburbs of
Hopkinsville. Samples of the crop
shown the Kentuckian were 80 inch
es in length. Many farmers are ex-
perimenting with alfalfa, but Mr..
Green has been more successful with
the crop than any one we have heard
of anywhere in the county. The
hay is of the finest quality and
serves all the purposes of clover
without possessing its disadvantages
when fed to stock.

Cashier Parrish.

The Owensboro Messenger puts
the blame of the Owensboro bank
failurs on the cashier in these plain
words:
James H. Parrish, bank wrecker
and swindler Of widows and orphans,
who had himself elected to the presi-
dency of a land company, has done
about all the harm and caused about
all the sorrow and misery that one
man can cause. Those who are de-
luded into placing furthur confidence
in this Walsh, of Owensboro, are fit
subjects for the Western Kentucky
asylum for the insane.
AS the per cent. the depositors of
the Owensboro Savings Bank and
Trust company will be paid on their
deposits grows smaller each day, the
brass of the wrecker of the institu.
tion increases. ("
Parrish has been one of the most
conspicuous church men in the city
and his downfall is the sensation of
the hour in Owensboro.

ORIGIN OF A SOUP

THE exiles that took refuge in London at
the time of the French Revolution met
the poverty and hardships of their lot with
much courage. They never begged, and it
was often difficult to induce them to accept
the funds subscribed for their assistance.
The won1en did not accept the partially
worn and soled clothing of wealthy and
charitably inclined women, as most women in
their condition would have been glad to do,
but managed to dress neatly and tastefully
with the cheapest materials. Their necessities
developed inventive spirit. The records
of the London patent Office at the beginning of
the eighteenth century bear on every page
such names as Blondeau, Dupin, Cardonel,
Gastineau. Leblond, and Courant.
How ingenious they were in utilizing the
most unpromising materials is shown by their
invention OF now famous dish When the
London butchers slaughtered their beef they
were accustomed to throw away the tails with
the refuse. The Frenchwomen had the bright
idea of buying them, since they could get them
for next to nothing, and making soup of them.
And thus they gave to England the popular
oxtail soup, which loyal Britishers now con-
slider an essentially national dish
