PRIMARY TOMORROW

The Democrats of the eight coun-
ties composing the Second Congress
ional district will nominate a candi-
date for Congress in primary elec-
tion tomorrow. There are three
candidates for the nomination, Hon.
40. Stanley, of Henderson, the
present congressman; Hon. c. Z.
Giyens. of Madisonville, and Hon.
LaVega Clements, Of Owensboro.
All are men of prominence, good
character and intellectual strength.
Any one of the trio would make a
capable representative. The Ken
tuckian has endeavored to treat all
of the candidates fairly and courte
ously in a contest in which its pref
erences have been with Mr.. Stanley
for some strong public reasons and
some equally as strong personal OBJ
legations. We believe the next Con-
Rress will be Democratic and that a
member with experience could be OF
far greater benefit to his constitu
euts than a new man. Mr.. Stanley
has served six years and has accom-
plished much under adverse circum
stances and with his own party
in power he possesses the nat
Nral ability to become party leader
of national prominence. His record
on all party questions has been loyal
and true to the party's principles as
enunciated in the Democratic eau
Gus. He has at all times faithfully
and zealously guarded the interests
of his constituents and as an orator
has reflected more credit upon his
district than any man who has rep
resented it for quarter of centu-
~. These are public considerations.
On the personal side is the fact that
the editor of the Kentuckian has for
years been on terms or intimate
friendship with Mr.. Stanley, has be
hinged to the same School in state
politics. We can recall but one i'm.
portant question-that happily a
past issue-upon which there has
been any especial difference Of opin-
ion. He has done nothing to inter
Enpt friendship of long standing
and we shall support him as we have
in two previous campaigns. There
may be some surprise in store, but
the Kentuckian can figure out nc
outcome of the primary tomorrow
save the nomination of Mr.. Stanley
by an overwhelming plurality and
perhaps an actual majority. A di
Vided opposition is of course greatly
to his advantage.

SEWING NEEDLES.
How They Are Fashioned From Coils
Of Fine Steel Wire.

OF Fine steel wire.
We are so accustomed to s'eing
the little steel sewing needle in
everyday use that we accept its
presence as matter of course,
quite as if it grew on tree like an
apple.
1t is true that needles have al
ways been used, but not always in
their present form. In times when
skins of animals were worn for
clothing the needle was made of
fishbone, bone or ivory, without an
eye and of goodly size and strength,
in order to pierce the skins easily.
Since the latter part Of the four
teenth century steel needles have
been made. Various are the kinds
and sizes which are now required
for everyday use by world of peo-
pie for sewing by hand, by machine,
for packing, upholstery and leather
work, wonderful needles for surgi-
cal purposes and many others.
The material used in the manu-
facture of the needle consists of
fine steel wire, which is supplied in
coils. These coils are cut with pow
erful shears into lengths, each suiR-
cient for two needles.
Several thousand of these lengths
are placed together in a bundle,
heated to red heat and then quick
ly Strengthened by pressure and
rolling.
These straightened lengths are
then pointed at both ends on a re-
volving grindstone. A grinder will
point as many as 100000 needles in
a day, while machinery invented for
the same purpose will point three
times as many as a skilled workman.
Next comes the eying of the nee
dies. You will remember that each
length of wire referred to is suffi-
cient for two needles. At the CEN
ter of each length, therefore, is
stamped the grooved and rounded
impression of two needle heads, end
to end, and then perforated by steel
punches.
Through the double eyeholes thus
formed (of say 100 needles at
time) is threaded fine wire, giving
an appearance of two edged comb.
The needles are held rigid and then
broken apart with comparative ease
between the eyeholes.
The needles are next hardened
and tempered by being subjected to
red heat, plunged into an oil bath,
reheated again and gradually cooled.
After this they must be secured
and polished by friction combined
with soft soap, oil and emery pow
der. Washing, drying and more pol
ishing follow. In fact, there seems
to be no end to the polishing and
finishing processes. But when the
work is finally completed the nee
dies are as near perfection as mod
ern machinery and human skill can
make them.-Exchange.

Many think it unnecessary to de-
vote particular attention to the
teeth until the mouth is affected by
broken or decayed teeth. Others
give their teeth no attention until
pain compels them. Every one who
thinks a. moment on the subject
knows that we cannot masticate our
food satisfactory, if one of the
teeth is tender, infamed or other
wise out of order, and that if this
be the case, the mouth requires inn.

from a popular Greek anthology:

he never awoke again, even though
he wore an amulet"

AN AUSTRALIAN TORNADO.
The Show as Seen From a Reserved
Front Seat

Front Seat.
The tornado of Australia is re-
lated pretty nearly to the same
phenomenon in this country. 1t is
on the land what the typhoon is in
eastern waters. The storm of wind
and rain is preceded by an unnat-
ural stiffness and silence of the ele-
ments. Sensitive persons and ami
mails are aware Of the approaching
storm. The author of "Parts of
the Pacific" who calls himself "a
peripatetic parson," experienced one
such gale when he was at the house
of a friend in the northern part of
Australia, very near the equator
His account is humorous as well as
instructive.
BY and by there came across the
night air a distant roaring noise.
The stiffness of the slumbering
hours was broken. Something ter
rible was at hand, as had been fore
told by the clerk of the weather.
The wind began to moan, then to
whistle. then to below The roof
ratified, the trees shrieked, rain
rushed and Missed, lightning bIazed,
and thunder crashed and doomed
All the household was busy hold
ing on to goods and catching things
as they were hurled off by the vio-
lence of the storm. The roof was
ripped up and carried away. Shut
tiers and doors, walls and furniture
off they went, and people raced
after them to the rescue. All were
at work, myself included.

considering the bed to be the most
valuable article in any part of the

Portable bed | watched the roof go
off, piece by piece. From it saw
the slabs and boards go--I saw
everything go until there was moth
ing left at my side of the house but
me and my noble bed.
Together we weathered the storm
brayely. Together we remained in
the torrents of rain and in the
binding lightning. Uttered with
broken timber, hornets nests,
oranges, bits of furniture from the
next room, pomelos and guavas,
boughs of trees and sundry other
things.
| had never before witnessed a
tornado, and the kind bed gener-
ously afforded me a front seat on
the brow of the hill, from which the
whole show was seen splendidly.
Moreover, as you do not always re-
guire a roof over your head in that
country, it was a mere trifle being
left without one on a night like
that.
When the storm ceased and day
light forced itself in a measure
through the still inclement weather
it was strange to see the river a
long way up the lawn, spreading
its turbid waters over the plain
which we had traversed only the
day before right up to the foot of
the mountain. Two trees out Of
every three were blown down, and
no leaves were left on any. Water
was running everywhere, and the
bright, peaceful scene of yesterday
was now an expanse of dull gray
and wholesale desolation.

eeorae Washinaton,s Lottery.

The great Father of His Country
was on at least one occasion the
originator of lottery, the like of
which at the present day would
be forbidden to send its tickets
through the mails. That George
Washington was interested in such
a scheme is proved by number of
tickets still in existence which bear
his august name. 1t was the Noun
tain Road lottery of which George
was the promoter, and it is, Of
course, unnecessary to state that
Washington himself did not fnan-
cially profit from it. All the funds
raised by the lottery were spent in
building the road through Cumber-
land gap, near Fredericksburg, Va.
Originally the lottery tickets which
Washington signed were worth ST
each. Now, because they bear his
signature, they are easily sold for
$50 apiece, though it is certain that
not one of them will ever draw a
prize.
