Fire and Mater.

Why does water put out fire? Water
below the point of ignition; therefore it
cannot burn. Water does not smother
the flames even when the burning brand
is completely immersed in tank Of
water. because the first contact puts
out the 6re--that is. reduces the tenn
perature Of the flame below the point
OF ignition.

Representative Browns Speech

His speech was as follows:
"Mr. Speaker and gentlemen Of
the House of Representatives: /
would be an ungrateful son of Chris
tian county were mot to say some
thing in my humble, feeble and inn
perfect way. in regard to this small.
modest and meager appropriation,
which is asked for in order to build
a memorial to the honor and mem
DRY of Christian county's greatest
son and to one of the greatestn native
born Kentuckians. This appropri-
alton is asked for mainly in order to
-,buiId a monument or a memorial to
Jefferson Davis to be situated upon
the farm where he was born.
Lessons to the younger genera
ton in regard to this terrible conflict
are not altogether learned from his.
tory, but also from monuments and
memorials erected and dedicated to
the peerless leaders and chieftains up
on each side. and from relics which
tell their own story. In recent ex-
position there was in one room moth
ing but Confederate relics Of the
late war. There were hundreds of
these and every one with history,
and a writing attached with them
which told of the greatest war the
world has ever seen between broth
ers. Here a broken spygIass with a
spent minnie ball still in it; there a
twisted and broken sword that told
III a hand to hand combat on the red
Held; on this side an old saddle,
which told of the loss of the rider;
on that, a tattered banner, each
glittering star and broad stripe in
it pierced by ball after ball. showing
by its tattered threads that it was
once where the battle waged fiercest
and bullets flew thick. Here an old
checkered cotton dress, made by an
old negress upon a cotton farm, and
worn by proud Southern belle on
her wedding day during the war,
and then in corner there was q
cradle in which jefferson Davis slept
when he lived in Fairview. Christian
county. at that time.
The good people tell US that God
doeth all things we'll. and perhaps
the war was only a furnace in which
the bonds of unity and peace were
welded together stronger and strong
