llIiteracy and Bad Roads.

Illiteracy and bad roads are
twin sisters. Where there is the
most illiteracy in Kentucky you
will find the worst roads, or to
put it another way, where you
find the worst roads, you will
find the most illiteracy. We do
not know that illiteracy is respon-
sible for the bad roads, or wheth-
err the bad roads are responsible
for the illiteracv. We do know
this: that if you stamp out Tilt
eracy by better schools you will
soon get rid of bad roads, for in
telligence won't take long to ed
ucate the people who live on
them. The reason why the News
for twenty-five years has been
hammering on the school and
road question is because upon
both of these together hang the
future development, progress
and advancement of the State.
You can not build good road in
Kentucky that a good school
house and a good teacher will
not follow it, and you can't build
a good school house that a good
road won't follow. We will nev-
get rid of illiteracy and bad roads
in Kentucky until the education
al and good roads forces unite
under the banner for the exter-
mination of these twin sisters of
ignorance and poverty.-Eliz-

Cures FOR Snake Bites.

Many people believe that
whiskey is the only remedy for
snake bites," said Sam Griffith,
of Tracy City, Tenn, at the Tu-
lane. Il know Of a remedy that
will never fail. | have tried it
and know others that have Used
it with success. If you ever
have snake bite the first thing
you want to do is to find chick
en-. Kill the foul and apply the
hot entrails to the wound
Every drop of poison injected
by the reptile will be taken out
and your life saved. Another
good and sure remedy is to take
crushed onions and salt and re-
peat the application until the
pain ceases and all the poison is
drawn out. | have known peo-
pie who suffer a snake bite
to bury the wound in mud and
let it remain there for several
hours. This has been done with
good effect. If a copper head
snake bites you kill the reptile,
split it open and bind around
the wound. He will undo what
he has done. Ali these RENE
dies l know from experience to
be all right and safe. Nashville

Care of the Piano.

Never let your piano be left
open at night or at any time
when not in use. Keep it in an
even temperature, if possible,
for musical instruments are cas-
lily affected by alterations of
heat, cold, dryness and moisture.
For this reason do not place it
next the outer wall of the house.
An upright piano may be placed
with the back next the wall, but
a grand piano should be placed
so that the player will face the
persons in the room. Keep Or
naments off the piano, unless it
be the bust of afamous musician.
Objects piled on top detract from
the tone of the instrument.
Open the lid occasionally to let
in the air. A small bag of un-
Stacked lime hung inside the lid
will catch any dampness and pre-
vent the strings from rusting.
in winter when the fires are GO
ing, a piano sometimes gets too
dry, for this reason it is well to
keep a plant in the room, that is
watered regularly, and this will
require more water than a plant
kept in any other part of the
house. Have the piano tuned
once every three months; pianos
allowed to be out of tune for
long, lose the power to retain
tune. The strings becom e
stretched, losing their elasticity.
Keep the piano freefrom dust by
wiping with soft rag that is
used to polish furniture, damp
ened with a little boiled linseed
oil. Dust the inside of the piano
every time it is tuned; do this
very carefully so as not to harm
the delicate construction. A
light feather buster will do nice
ly where rag can not reach.
Wipe the keys frequently with
alcohol. A small linen bag filled
with camphor kept inside the
piano will keep away moths.

What a Poor Boy Did.

Leaving the village school at
the age of thirteen, Dwight L.
Moody entered the army of wage
earners, never again to enjoy
the opportunity of an elementry
education. When in after years
he made friends who had conf
dence in him, and were willing
to aid in his work, his heart
went out to the class to which
he had belonged when young,
and he determined to do his ut
most to afford an open door of
opportunity for the youth of his
country. The North held schools
became the concrete ex-
preston of his sympathy for
boys and girls who had been
handicapped, and he determined
to help them to acquire, as he
expressed it, 'such' an educa-
ton as would have helped me
when l was that age. - The

Popular Decisions.

Widespread prevalence of the
idea that there will be an actual
union of the waters of the At
lantic and the Pacific upon the
opening of the Panama Canal
caused the War Department to
issue a statement explaining the
plain, prosaic fact that sea water
on either side of the isthmus will
get no further than the entrances
of the great water way.
ITO those who know the engi-
neering features, said the state
ment, this idea is rather anus
ing, so far as the canal is con-
cerned the waters of the Allan
tic and Pacific will never mingle.
The Gatun Lake, which is mid
way of the canal, has an eleva-
ton of eighty-fve feet above the
oceans, and water from the lake
will merely flow each way to the
two oceans, the water from the
lake being fresh and derived
from the drainage of the sur
rounding area"
The statement also explained
that the blowing up of the Gam
boa dixie on October 10 will not
permit the passage of even a row
boat from ocean to ocean, as it
will be necessary to complete the
removal of the dixie by dredgring
and then to dredge out the Cuca-
racha slide before the canal will
be opened from end to end.

is divine.
Remove everything about the

and replace with things that will
be good for sore eyes.
More young animals should be
found on farms. Those who
procure crops should raise ami
