to the fact that the little kidney

other serious form of kidney com
plant.

A Comets Tail.

The tail of a comet is composed of
gas, existing in highly rarefed con-
dition, Little particles of electricity
called corpusGles, or ions, are being
constantly given off at enormous
speed by the sun. Each meteorite
is the comets head is surrounded by
its own rarefied atmosphere. When
one of these little ions strikes one of
the molecules of gas in the comets
atmosphere. it carries it off with it
to form the tail. The electrical
charge makes the gas luminous, and
it is by this light, and not by reflect
ed sunlight, that the tail is made
visible to us. A comets tail, there.
fore, seems to be merely a very ex-
tended aurora. The Century.

On the Affinity of Her Hus-
band, in Henderson
County
BOTH TONGUE AND WHIP
Mrs. John Mitchell Severely
Chostised By Irate Wife of
Walter Griffin.

Henderson, KY, April 15 Lash
ing the affinity of her husband, Mrs.
John Mitchell, both with her tongue
and big buggy whip, Mrs. Walter
Griffin, Of Dekoven, a small station
a few miles south of here, created a
scene at the depot there Wednesday
afternoon. Although there we're
nearly hundred people present no
effort was made to part the couple,
a passing freight serving this pur.
pose after Mrs. Griffin had broken
her whip over the head and shoulders
of her pretty rival.
Like all small towns there is al
ways gossip going on in Dekoven.
Several people had linked the
names of Griffin and Mrs. Mitchell,
who is decidedly pretty blonde.
The matter had finally come to the
ears of Mrs. Griffin. Yesterday she
went out to investigate. Griffin who
is employed at the Carlew mines at
Dekoven didn't go to work, and af-
ter giving some excuse, left the
house.
No sooner had he left than Mrs.
Griffin started after him. Shortly
afterwards she found him in COM
pany with his affinity. The wife
said little but went to her home and
secured a buggy whip. She started
in pursuit Of her husbands affinity.
She found Mrs. Mitchell at the
depot and despite the crowd pro-
ceeded to lay on the whip good and
plenty.

REPENT, SAYS EGG.
A Strange Phenomenon in
Product of a Hen.

A dispatch from Bucketunna,
Miss. says:
A most unusual occurrence is re-
ported from near Silas, Ala. A lady
went out TO get some eggs, and
hearing a hen cackling, she went to
the nest and took out the freshly
laid egg.
On the way to the house she no.
ticed something peculiar about the
appearance Of the egg, and discoV-
cred that the shell bore an inscrip.
ton which was as follows: Repent,
all of you. while there is opportu.
nifty" DR.. Woodie Knight obtained
possession of the egg and brought
it to Healing Springs. where it has
been examined by number of peo-
pie.
The gentleman from whom this
information was obtained says he,
like others, thought the matter was
a hoax until he saw the egg. He
says that the shell is white and the
letters are of a yellow color and
raised about the surface, and are
plainly legible. the word you" be-
ing under scored. The lady took
the egg from the nest while it was
yet warm.
AS improbable as this story ap'
pears. it is vouched for by people OF
known reliability, and the egg i;
now in possession of Dr.. Knight
No one attempts to account for thii
strange occurrence.

He Cor Badly Left.

Experiences IF a correspondent of a
Nuremberg raper go to show that the
German adulteration laws are drastic.
He says "A French friend sent me
four bottles of burgundy. After pay
ing the duty | was informed that all
wine coming from abroad has to be
analysed AS my consignment includ-
ed two kinds of wine a double analysis
was necessary, and for this ] paid a
fee of 1924. As the end of week
received first a certificate attesting that
my wine was pure and, second, the
case in which the bottles were sent
Twas also informed that two bottles
had been required to form the basis of
each analysis and that consequently
there was no wine left. I am natural
ly grateful to the state for the precgu-
lions taken to guard my health. but
cannot help thinking | am entitled to
the empty bottles. Surely these were
not also analysed"

a PLEA FOR wAYSIDE TREES

and Beautify Landscape

| saw by the roadside, some time ago

he was destroying it, that he was re-
moving a great ornament from his

/ In those parts of cur country where
woodland is scarce, and where most of
the land is in fields and pastures, the
/ loss of a single tree is a sad sight TO all
who pay even the slightest attention to
what IS beautiful Even as it is, we
have altogether too few trees. | have

mile-long avenues of trees, and | can
truthfully say that nothing could have

or reflected the prosperity of the coun-

woods.
| Our state lawmakers. too, have been
alive on the subject of tree planting,
and have made several laws to encour-

! trees along the roads. You may not be
aware of the fact that you can lessen
your highway taxes considerably sim
ply by having a row of trees by the
wayside; but such is the case. The law,
