Ants Have Combs.

No creature is more tidy than an
ant, which cannot tolerate the pres
ence Of dirt on its body. These lit
tie creatures actually use a number
of real toilet articles in keeping
themselves clean. Their toilet arti-
cles consist Of coarse and fine tooth
ed combs, hairbrushes, sponges and
even washes and soap. Their saliva
is their liquid soap, and their soft
tongues are their sponges. Their
combs, however, are the genuine
article and differ from ours mainly
in that they are fastened to their
legs. The ants have no set time for
their toilet operations, but stop and
clean up whenever they get soiled.

DENTISTS TO MEET

The Kentucky State Dental Asso.

meeting at Ashland, KY, June So

extreme northwestern part Of the
State, bids fair to be the largest meet
ing efer held, as there will be many
visitors from Ohio, Virginia and
West Virginia. Kentucky has the
most progressive organization Of
dentistry of any State south Of the
Ohio river, and the meeting at Ash

tional reputation. No dentist in this
State who desires to give his patients
the best in dentistry can afford to
miss this meeting.

The Word Budget"

The origin of the word "budget, !"
meaning an estimate of government
revenues and expenses, is thus ex-
planned:
Almost from time immemorial 1t
was the custom in England to put
the estimates of receipts and ex-
penditures presented to parliament
in a leather bag, the word budget
being thus borrowed from the old
Norman word bougette, which sig
nifes a leather purse. Curiously
enough, the word has passed back
again into France from England.

Wind Wheeibarrows.

One of the strangest sights in
China is the wind wheelbarrow. 1t
is drawn by donkey, and when the
wind is fair sail is set. The wheel
turns in the middle of a wooden
frame, sustained by iron bars. Upon
the frame are hung all kinds Of
utensils. The donkey is generally
mounted by the paterfamilias, the
son and heir is at the stern assist
ing all he can, while the mother and
younger ones ride on the vehicle.

II is often said that the farmers
can hang to everything except to-
gether, and we heard a little Incl
dent the other day which is inter
esting in this connection. In one
Of the best counties in Iowa two
farmers we're talking together, and
one remarked: ~ have lived in
this neighborhood Twenty-Five years,
and in all that time have never ask
ed help from my neighbors for any
thing" The other reflected for a
moment and then said, "Jim, do
you know that if there were ten
more such men around here, this
would be a mighty poor neighbor-
hoodf" Jim had never looked at it
just that way, but he caught the
thought, and after a little he said
"Well, sir, you may be right"
OF course he was right. There
is nothing so helpful in making real
men and women as in giving help to
others and in receiving it from them.
When we once recognize our obiga-
tions in this respect we get on a
common footing, and it is easy for
the neighborhood as a whole. As
time goes on, it will be more and
more necessary that farmers under
stand each other and be able to work
together for the common good. The
only way to begin is to build up the
community spirit, and the way to
do this is for each family to be
friendly with his neighboring fami-
lies. If you want to feel friendly
toward a neighbor, just do him a
favor.
The neighborhood club is fine
way to crystalize the community
spirit. Getting all the families of
the neighborhood together once a
month, eating together and carrying
oat literary program Of some sort,
cements neighborhood ties and makes
it possible for the community to act
as one man when the common inter-
est is at stake. Suppose you start
the ball rolling nows-The New

SLAMS ROYAL ETIQUETTE.
Only Specially Polite Talk Allowed at
Court Functions.

Court Functions.
The kings person is by far the
most sacred thing in Siam. Court
etiquette is exceedingly strict, and
the ceremonies connected with the
throne, such as coronations, are all
Of religious nature and are strong
ly imbued with Brahman influences.
Twice year the princes and the
noble or official classes throughout
the country make oath of allegiance
to the king. This ceremony is call
ed "Teu Man," or "The Holding of
Water" and is OF ancient origin,
having been observed at the court
of the kings of Brahman India
more than $500 years ago. In Bang
kok the rites are observed in the
presence of the king in a temple
adjoining the palace. Within the
precincts are gathered together the
princes and the leading officers of
state, while beyond, upon the wide
lawns Of the outer palace inclosure,
detachments Of cavalry, artillery
and marines, battalions of infantry
and white elephants are drawn up
in the panoply of glittering ac-
couterments.
To the sound of drums and the
blare of the royal trumpets the king
appears from the inner palace, seat
ed upon a gilded throne carried
shoulder high. A thousand bayo-
nets flash to the royal salute, guns
thunder and the massed bands play
the national anthem as his royal
majesty is borne along the front Of
the troops.
Arrived within, the king seats
himself and watches the court and
officers Of state walk in, two by two,
take from a table a small cup of
water specially prepared for the
function by powerful Brahman
charms, touch it with their lips and
retire through an outer door.
In the provinces this same cere-
mony is enacted before the official
representatives Of the king, and
thus the whole country binds itself
to the loyal observance of the royal
commands.
Politeness and respect demand
that in speaking to royalty q special
set of words be used "a custom
which seems to be due to the COM
mon feeling that the use of for
eign or unusual word to express a
vulgar object makes the object ap-
pear less vulgar. In other words,
as the royal ears might be shocked
at hearing a spade called spade, it
is necessary to call it an agricultural
implement. This so called palace
language is so complete that not
only are the crow, dog, cat and 9TH
er common animals expressed by
special words, but the actions Of
royalty, such as eating, sleeping,
walking, speaking, bathing, dying,
are spoken of in words much more
distinguished and polite than those
used to describe similar actions Of
ordinary people.-Exchange.

FLYING AT PARKS HILL

The greatest exhibition lights ever
seen in Kentucky, will be witnessed
at Parks Hill Camp Ground, for an
entire week beginning Saturday,
May 18th, and ending on Saturday,
22nd.
These exhibitions will be given
daily, except Sunday, and to see
Stockman's wonderful "Air Bird"
soaring as a bird, through the air,
going at times to great attitudes, and
again, dipping to the earth, will be
one thrill that will be long remem-
bered
His roller coasting, figure eight,
lower rolls, dips, bombarding the en-
envy with aerial bombs, as in war, the
fall Of the smoking aeroplane, with
other features, brands Theodore
Stockman as one of the best and
most spectacular Of all the present
day aviators.
In his powerful aeroplane, he has
flown hundreds Of miles and his ma
chine is one Of the great attractions
now on exhibition at one Of the
great Pittsburg department stores,
where he is giving daily lectures on
aviation to the high school and other
students of the city.
Mr.. Stockman has consented to
waive the usual fee for showing his
machine to visitors on the grounds,
and to those who "want to know"
he will give full advice and instruc-
tons regarding all the mechanical
points of an aeroplane.
The aeroplane is one Of his own
construction, with a Curtis 8 cylin-
der 85-horse power motor, which
motor, alone, cost him $2700.
Mr.. Stockrhan began his career as
an aviator in 1911, and flew differ
ent kinds of aeroplanes, including
the Curtis, Rex, Smither, Farmer,
French and other kinds and has u.s.
ed different kinds of motors. With
his long experience, using several
different kinds Of mtors, where dur
ability and endurance is a matter
of life and death, his new IS horse
power Curtis is the best he has ever
tried, and he has no hesitation in in
viting one Of the patrons, each day,
to accompany him, with the full con-
fidence that he will be returned to
his admiring friends, safe and sound.
One editor and one lady have al
ready agreed to fly with Stockman.
He states that as a rule, women are
gamer than men, and it is expected
that, having waived the usual fee
for passengers, that Of the seven
who are expected to fly, most of them
will be ladies'.
"Aviation Week" will be inaugu-
rated with plenty Of fine music, the
management having engaged Rays
Concert Band Of seven pieces.
And word to the wise: While on
beautiful Parks Hill, listening to the
fine music and watching Stockman
do his aerial stunts, take stroll
over the grounds and pick out one
of those lots, cinch 20 year lease
on it, build a cottage-yours for
20 years-and Gown a Home at
Parks Hill"

is liberated. From eight to ten
mounted horsemen enter the impro-
vised arena, their only defense
against attacks of the bill being their
superb horsemanship and knowledge
how to twist the bulls tail in such
a manner as to cause him to tumble
over. While the attention of the
bull is attracted by some of the party
horseman dashes from the rear at
full speed, gives a dextrous twist,
and over rolls the bull This sport il
not without its danger, and almost
every coieado festival adds to the
hospital list. The honor of being
champion bull-tail twister develops
keen competition, for the winner is
crowned with flowers by the prettiest

great achievement being to bring the
