Huxley and Lewe..

Here is an anecdote once related by Herbert Spencer-who. by the way. was rather heavy in hand when he undertook to play story teller. Apropos of Huxley's humor he described a din ner of distinguished authors:
 Over their cigarettes they fell to dis cussing their various methods of com mencing to write. One said he wrote and. wrote, tore up. then wrote again. and so on.
 George Lewes, who was present. looked surprised, and then cried out:
 ''Oh, I'm not like that! I commence to write at once. directly the pen is in my hand In fact. I boil at low tenn perature."
 Indeed" cut in MT. Huxley. "that is very interesting, for, as you know. to boil at low temperature implies a vacuum in the upper region"
 Lewes himself was the first to lead the shout of laughter which of course greeted this clever repartee-

END OF A RED NOSE
New Flesh-Colored Product That Heals and Hides Skin Imperfec- lions


 Heals and Hides Skin Imperfec- tiOnS.
 A peculiar feature of poslam, a new skin discovery, is that it is naturally flesh-colored and contains no. grease, so that when used on the face for the complexion, or for pimples, red noses, or any other inflammations, blemishes or discolorations, its presence cannot be detected. It can thus be applied in the daytime. the natural color of the skin being immediately restored and the actual healing and curing pro- cess accomplished in a few days It can be had of any pharmacist who sells pure drugs. Jennie Hamilton's Phar- macy makes a speciality of it. Fifty cents worth will answer either for the troubles mentioned or in curing ordin- ary cases of eczema. Itching stops at once.
 The Emergency Laboratories, No. 32 West Twenty-fifth street, New York are the sole dispensing agents for pos lam in the United States. and will send an experimental quantity free by mail in plain wrapper to all who write for it. This will show results after an overnight application

Oldest Mule in Kentucky.

From Frankfort comes the story
that former Adjutant.General Henry
R. Lawrence, of Cadiz, has discov-
cred what he thinks is the oldest
hule in the world. This particular
Maud is a resident of Rutherford
county, Tennessee. The mule is own
ed by Mike Hayes, and is known to
be 80 years old, and may be older.
She has been in the possession Of
Hayes for SO years, and has helped
raise his entire family.
The most peculiar feature of this
Maud is that she has never been
known to kick. Hayes worked her
until few years ago, but since then
she has been living on her accom-
llishments Of the past.
The NEWS does. not doubt any part
Of this story, but the Bluegrass peo-
lie must come again" Upon the
Stafford fork of Rockcastle is a mule
much older than Mike Hayes animal,
and the Honaker mule in Pike
county-she must be lead by this
time-had an established record of
II years.
Mauds peculiar feature" never
known to kick, ought not to be at
all peculiar. It's all a matter Of
training and use, not breaking and
abuse. A mule, properly treated, is
he most valuable animal in the ser
vice of man. Weight for weight it is
stronger than a horse, more patient,
more easily kept, not half so "scary,"
and far more intelligent. Mule own
ers who give more kicks than corn
and more blows than bedding should
try the virtue of good care awhile,

\ very severe electrical storm Vi,-
urd portion OF Louisa on last
Thursday afternoon. About haIr-past
two o'clock a bolt of lightning des-
crnded in the northwestern part of
the town, and the shock was Sc
verely felt by all the residents of thu
section bounded by Lady Washington,
Perry and Pike streets.
Mrs Eugene Allen and baby were
rendered insensible, and for quite a
while it was thought that the child
was dead, but by the use of restora-
lives all were revived. Several others
in that vicinity were severely stun
ned The lightning struck the roots
of a tree opposite the residence of
COL Jay II. Northup. 1t covered the
sidewalk with dirt but did no dam
pge. Mrs. ]. NJ Turner and little
daughter were sitting on the porch
not more than twenty feet from the
tree, but fortunately neither mother
nor child was injured, A nearby
telephone was put out of commission
by the bolt.

Kentucky Coal Productions.

But for increased developments in
the mountain regions of Kentucky,
in Floyd. Johnson, Lee
5nd Pike counties, the production Of
coal in Kentucky would have shown
a much greater decrease for the year
1903 than was actually shown. The
! reduction in Western and Southeast
Prn districts showed a heavy falling
off. but the Northeastern -JdfStric6
made a gain on account of the in
creased development and opening Of
new mines. The total output of coal
in Kentucky, according to the annual
report made to Governor Wilson
by C. J. Norwood, chief inspector of
mines for Kentucky, was 9,S05,777
tons, of which the greater part was
shipped TO market. The total receipts
at the mines made the price per ton
about 81, the total selling value be-
ing $9,776,762.
Prof. Norwood recommends more
attention to the making of coke, es-
pecially in the Big Sandy Valley,
which has an especially fine grade
Of coal for this purpose. There has
buen an increase of more than 35 per
cent. in the number of persons EN-
Iloyed in coal mines in the last four
years, Prof. Norwood shows, the
number having grown from 1906 in
1904 to 1851 in 1908 During the
year thirty-nine persons lost their
lives as a result of accident at, near
o! in mines
