The Bible.

Not only was Diderot right when he
said, mo better lessons than those of
the Bible can 1 teach my child" not
only was Franklin right when he said
with dying lips, Young man, my ad-
vice to you is that you cultivate an
acquaintance with, and a firm belief
in, the Holy Scriptures-thisi is your
certain interest" but even Descartes
and Newton were right when they
said, mo sciences are better attested
than is the religion of the Bible-not
even the mathematical" Nay, one
still more illustrious than these great
scientists was right when He said, IF
they hear lot Moses and the prophets,
neither will they be persuaded,
though one rose from the dead"
Whoever will take the trouble to
go as far as the metaphysics of the
senses or of geometry, can find that
even their ultimate principles are as
sailed by no smaller objections, and
defended by no greater proofs than
attach to the Biblical religion

GIFT APRONS.

The making of the gift apron OF
materials other than white is a dis
tinctly new idea, but nothing could
be prettier than dainty handkerchief
linen in colors.
Lavender, canary yellow, blue and
rose have all been worked into the
afternoon tea apron-two very differ
ent sorts.
For those who serve tea in the in
innate circle of home the pretty apron
is indispensable, and it's color but
Odds to the brightness of the home
scene-a touch beloved by husbands,
fathers and brothers; and men are
particular little apron is small, fiat
and dainty, and is unlike the fancy
workers, which takes on the shape Of
bag when she wants it to-. Here
again is the color an advantage from
the very practical viewpoint of clean
illness. White shows the dust almost
at once, and the workbag apron
should at least see the worker
through one piece of embroidery.
Of these delicate linen aprons, cut
by either pattern, there may be
mere touch of embroidery done in
white with single strand of I'M
twisted cotton, or the apron may be
finished with a frill of white net

FUED OVER SALT
COSTS MANY LIVES.
Mar of determination Between
kentuekv Families Was Started
by TriflIns Dispute.

The merest trif1es served to start
some of the terrible fsuds of Ken
tucky-the straying of a drove of
hogs, little dispute over politics and
so on-but there is only one that
grew out of salt. That most domes-
tic of commodities is usually associa-
ted with peace, there being an Ara
bian custom that whoever eats salt
in ones house is entitled to protec-
ton and honor from the owner so
long as he may be a guest, but it is
unlikely that the Baker and Howard
families of the Kentucky mountains
ever heard of it. If they did it GER
tainly carried no weight with them,
says the Wide World Magazine.
Of all the feuds, that between the
Bakers and the Howards was proba-
bly, the most sanguinary. Before it
ended there were involved in the
struggle the wealthy families of the
Bakers, the Towards, the Philpots
and the Griffins, all numerous and
powerful, and living in various coun-
ties of the State. The internecine
war involved nearly the entire popu-
lation of Clay County, and the mis-
chief it caused did not end with itself,
but out of it eventually grew the IA
nous HargisCockrill and Stronghold
lahan feuds, which made Breathitt
County notorious all over America.
The feud in Clay County had its
origin more than half a century ago
in 1S43, to be exact-and there is
scarcely an acre within the county
boundaries that does not hold a spot
where some member of the populace
has not been shot from ambush, and
in most instances left to die unat-
tended. as often as not in total ignor-
ance of the identity of his slayer.
