The beginning Of actual work for the
establishment Of the proposed Alaska
railway, for the construction Of which
Congress appropriated $4,000, 900,
was realized last week when Thomas
Riggs, Jr., a member of the Alaska en-
cheering board, arrived in seattle to
assemble the party and equipment
which is to lay out the route for the
railroad in the northern territory. 1t.
Frederick Mears, U. S. A., and w. C..
Edes, the other members OF the COM
mission, will join Mr.. Riggs this week,
and the party will leave Tor the north
on June 8, or few days later. Seattle
will be made the base of supplies for
the surveyors. 1t is expected that the
work will take until December /. The
data gathered, together with estimates
of cost of construction, will then be
submitted to President Wilson, who
will decide the route OF the railroad.

MOISTURE AND HEAT. =
Why 3 Person May Feel Cold In
Room That Is Well Heated.


1t often happens In winter that per
son living in steam heated apartment
feels cold even when the thermometer
shows the necessary degree of warmth
In the room. OF course there is rea
son for this and also q very simple
remedy. The reason Is that the air In
the room Is too dry-it does not contain
enough molsture-and the remedy is,
of course. to keep some water in the
room all the time, so that 1t can evap-
crate into the air.
Our bodies, you see, are at all times
exuding moisture In the form of per
spiration. Now. this persplration, even
more than one would think. being
measured in the pints. To evaporate
water heat has to be used up, and, as
the body is warmer than the air, the
heat to evaporate this perspiration is
taken from the body. OF course then
the body feels cold.
Here is still another illustration OF
this fact: 1t has been shown by actual
experiment that a man can stay in an
oven heated to the boiling temperature
of water and not get uncomfortably
hot-that is, painfully hot. The heat
makes him perspire, and the heat taken
up by evaporation from the body keeps
the body from getting hot. But sup
pose that the oven already contained In
its atmosphere all the water vapor that
1t could hold. Then, as none could
evaporate from the body, the drops on
the body would soon get near the boil
ing point. So in the room referred to
above, II it contains a good bit of
moisture the evaporation from the body
will not be so fast. and consequently
the body will not feel cold.-New York

SLEEPING IN CHURCH.
Men Do 1t Because They Are More At.
tentive Than Women.

Men Do It Because They Are More At
tentive Than Women.
A German professor who has been
making a study of the problem de-
clares that men fall asleep in church
because they pay more attention to the
sermon than do the women. Further,
he declares the average woman does
not begin to grasp the purport Of the
sermon; that she is far slower OF un-
Outstanding than man.
The man will watch the minister
every minute, he will concentrate all
his mind upon the preacher and what
he is saying, he will watch his every
gesture and every motion of his lips
and listen to every word until finally
be drops off to sleep simply because he
has watched so steadily, gazed so In
tently, that he hynotized himself.
If the woman does not grasp the
meaning Of the sermon so readily, If
her mentality is not quite so keen and
quick, one would think she would fall
asleep. But the fact remains that she
has plenty to interest her. A man can
not look about the church and be inter
ested In John Jones cravat or William
Smiths vest or Sam Whites cuff but
tons. He doesn't care anything about
them, but a woman will sit quietly In
church, she will hear what the minis
ter is saying without giving much
thought to it, but she will be interested
In everything every other woman is
wearing, and there is enough to keep
her just moderately entertained and
wide awake. Chicago Tribune.

THE IDEAL jURYMAN.
His Age and Qualifications From an
English Point of View.


English Point of View.
There is a general agreement In Lon
don legal circles that the best jurymen
are to be found among men sixty years
Of age. The opinion is that jurymen
at that age show better judgment than
younger men.
A leading London barrister, asked for
his opinion, said: 81 prefer men about
fifty years of age. A defending barris-
ter In, say, criminal case which has
certain sentimental elements will al
ways welcome young jury. He knows
he can touch their emotions far more
easily than he can those of men over
fifty. Sentiment is very rare at fifty.
and a man Is cold and purely logical.
The average man who has reached the
age Of fifty looks upon things from
materiahstic point Of view, and his
judgment is therefore unaffected by
sentiment.
Education, save in certain civil
cases, is no great asset to juryman.
The brickayer or the mechanic has
Just as much knowledge of human ma
ture and sense of justice as the pro
fessor, and in many respects barristers
and judges prefer the unlettered jury
man to the man Of culture, though In
the case Of the latter he is less sus-
ceptible to an emotional plea. The man
with sound common sense. learned not
from books, but from everyday life. Is
not so easily led either by Judge or
counsel as many suppose, and If you
add the wisdom of years you get the

a. fast flying train on the Queen and

THE QUARANTINE SITUATION.

= The committee composed of Messrs.
Thos. H. Clay, Jr., JOS. NJ Hall, Robt.
Meter and Jas. H. Thompson, ap-
pointed at the mass meeting in this
city Saturday, went to Frankfort,
Tuesday, where they conferred with
Mr.. j. W. Newman, Chairman of the
Live Stock Sanitary Board, in regard
to the quarantine being maintained on
Bourbon county stock.
After the exact situation with re-
gard to the prevalence of the foot-and-
mouth disease in this county was
thoroughly and plainly reported by
the committee, they were informed by
Mr.. Newman that Bourbon county was
neither in the Federal or State quaran-
tine area, but was only in what was
termed the suspicious area"
The cattle belonging to Mr. P. J..
Millett, were again inspected by two
Federal inspectors, DrS. Stingly and
Gibson, and no action was taken to
destroy them.
The cattle will be inspected again
in a few days to finally determine
whether or not they will be destroyed.
There seems to be grave doubt
whether or not the cattle are seriously
affected
1t is probable that the quarantine on
Mr.. Millett's place will be lifted within
the next ten days. The lifting of the
embargo will be grea news to the
stock raisers and dealers of the
county.
DR.. R. J. Lawton, of the United
States Bureau of Animal Industry,
who is in charge of the work of fight
ing the foot-and-mOuth disease in
Bourbon and adjoining counties, has
issued request that cattle owners of
Bourbon county report at once any
suspicious or suspected cases of the
disease among the cattle of this coun-
ty. DR.. Lawton says:
eff the stock owners of this county
will report at once any cases of a sus-
picious nature / will send an assistant
or will come myself at once to investi-
gate the case. | feef satisfied that if
the cattlemen and farmers will give
us the necessary cooperation We will
be able to rid the State of this dread
ed malady."
DIR. Lawton asked that his telephone
number, 2304, at his Office in the Fay
cite National Bank Building, in Lex
ington, be published, where he can be
reached at any time during the day
or night.
Thirty-nine cattle belonging to DR..

and-mouth disease, were shot Wednes-

TUESDAYS TOBACCO SALES

The Bourbon Tobacco Warehouse
Company had a small sale Tuesday,
only 1875 pounds being on SALE
The quality of the Offering was not
improved over the opening SALE
There was on the floor a few bask-
cts of colory tobacco that sold for
what looked like the old-time prices,
ranging from 15A cents for flyings to
$22.5O for Jugs. The average for the
crop being $17.51.
On account of the poor quality of
the offerings and the. low prices realiz-
ed, the management of the Bourbon
Tobacco Warehouse decided to pass
up the sales yesterday, but they will
be resumed again Saturday.
In 1912 the first days sales at the
Bourbon Warehouse totaled 142,260
pounds, realizing 17,628.9S, and aver
aging $12.39 per hundred.
In 1913, the first days sales at the
same house totaled 1920 pounds,
which sold for an aggregate sum of
$9,904.16, an average of $3.50 per hun
dred pounds.
The highest average brought by a
1913 crop was on Dec. 20, at the local
warehouse, when Robbins & Tarr sold
2,4O5 pounds at an average of $18.72
per hundred pounds. The next high
est average was attained by White &
Current, who sold 1890 pounds for
an average $18.41 per hundred pounds.
The 1914-15 season opened at the
Cynthiana loose leaf houses Monday,
with offerings of poor quality and
prices low. Prices averaged $6.68.
At Lexington, the offerings have
been of inferior grades at medium av-
erages, ranging from 1854 to $3.50.
On the Winchester market, the
crops average 1892. The highest
price was $500, and several crops
brought $1,000.
