PASSING OF THE VETERINARY.
Few Young Men Are Joining the
Ranks of This Profession.

In times of epidemic among cattle
the veterinary surgeon is invaluable.
His general field of work, however, is
limited to-day, because Of the preva-
lence of automobiles, and few young
men seeking a profession join the vet
erinary ranks.
While there Is much work for a vet
erinary to do among invalid dogs,
cats, cows and other domestic pets,
the subject of his most careful study
and most remunerative work is the
horse.
Horses, so valuable and necessary,
are watched devotedly for the slightest
sign of indisposition. The wife may
cough unpleasantly for a week be-
fore the doctor is sent for, but the vet
erinary will hurriedly answer the
frantic summons Of her husband II his
horse shows the slightest symptoms
of a cold. And the gradual disap-
pearance of the horse robs the veter-
mary of his chief source of income
Many Of the profession who foresee the
continual decrease Of their horse pa
tients are applying to the government
for places as surgeons in the cavalry
perhaps the least likely seat of au-
tomobile invasion.

MANY QUEER AIDS TO MEMORY.
Simple Devices Resorted to by People
Who Can't Remember.

Many and varied are the methods
to which busy men have recourse in
order to keep their memory peeled"
Very simple is the mnemonical sys-
tenn Of a well-known journalist, who
merely ties small piece OF ribbon
round his walking stick. Many a
benedict has a penchant for tying his
handkerchief into q series Of knots to
remind him Of the numerous little do
nestle duties he has faithfully prom
ised to perform during the day.
A very successful plan Is that of q
shrewd business man. who has re-
course to the use OF pepper or snuff
to Jog his memory. A liberal dose
spread over his handkerchief greets
his olfactory nerves whenever he ex-
tracts it from his pocket, and, as he
himself says, that reminds me-"
Very effective is the method adopt
ed By some astute people who place
their finger rings on their keyring. BY
this means they are not only remind
ed of something by the absence Of
their rings from their hands but every
time they use their keys the fact is
forced upon their attention. There Is
one old government clerk who Is an
amusement to all the juniors. When
he has any matter OF urgent impor-
tance to attend to In the morning he
invariably ties two Of his fingers to-
IRether with small piece Of red tape.

other things, an interesting set of auc-
tioneer's hourglasses.
The auctioneer. century or so ago,
concluded sale, not by saying Go

counter with his hammer. but 1t was
his better method to turn up free
running glass toward the end of the
bidding, and to end the sale irrevoca-
bly, when the sands ran out This
saved confusion and dispute.

DIRECTORY.
Kentucky.

According to the last census Ken
tucky has population of 2,147,174.
TIE area is 40,400 square miles
400 of which is water. The streams
within the State, as rule head in the
Southeast and flow in Northwesterly
direction; this fact retarded the con-
struction of railroads and the devel-
opment of our resources for many
years.
The early railroads were built from
the East and went over the more
level territories North of the Ohio
River and South of the Cumberland
Mountains. In those days there was
only a limited demand for coal and
lumber. Now that the demand has in
creased. 1t would seem that
a kind providence has held in
reserve our almost inexhaustible util-
tiles until time when they are most
needed by the country. Our supply
of timber is limited, but there is
enough to last for many years to
come.
We have a coal area of over fifteen
thousand square miles. Other min
erals await development.
Natural gas and oil, in paying
quantities are being developed in
many localities.
There are no more bad people in
Kentucky than in other States in pro-
portion to population. Good people
regardless of politics or religion, are
always welcome.
