THE DARDAN ELlES.
a Strait Famed In Mythology ~ wsa
a. In History,


The Dardanclles nd the Hellespont
are MINES for the same thing. At its
narrowest place the strait Is less than
q milo wide. On one side IL Asia. and
on the other il Europe.
The strait Is famous In mythology
The pre- Christian incursions Of barba-
Rams into Europe often were halted
there.
Xerxes and Alexander ferried across.
One determined to destroy the civiliza-
ton Of Greece and the other to diffuse
Grecian culture over the whole world.
Crusaders went back and forth over
his strait. The Roman empire Of the
east commanded It even after the Mo
hammedans had established themselves
at Adrianople.
BY treaty and by consent and by her
situation Turkey was given control Of
this strait.
Strange to say. In modern times the
first ship OF war that ever passed
through flew the flag of America.
Bainbridge ran by the guns Of the
forts and unfurled the stars and stripes
In front OF Constantinople. and in that
city he and the American crew were
deliberately entertained.
For many centuries Russia has look
ed with eager eyes for the control Of
the shores along this strait-Memphis

Just Like Ewes Apple.

A fruit supposed to bear the mark OF
Ewes teeth Is one of the many botan-
zeal curiosities of Ceylon. The tree on
which 1t grows is known by the signifi.
cant name of "the forbidden fruit" or
"Eve's apple tree" The blossom has
a very pleasant scent. but the really
remarkable feature of the tree, the one
to which 1t owes its name, is the fruit.
1t Is beautiful and hangs from the tree
I'm a peculiar manner. Orange on the
outside and deep crimson within, each
fruit has the appearance Of having had
a piece bitten out OF it. This fact, to-
gether with its poisonous quality. led
the Mohammedans to represent 1t as
the forbidden fruit of the garden Of
Eden and to warn men against its noY
ious properties. The mark upon the
fruit is attributed to Eve.

Panama Canal Traffic.

The latest issue of THE Canal
Record" the official publication of the
Washington Office of the Panama Canal
gives an interesting analysis of the
traffic which passed through the Canal
during the month of February. This
analysis shows that the traffic embraced
some sixty-fve different commodities
OF these, the commodities which had
the largest tonnage were those registered
as general cargo" Next came nitra.es
shipped from Chilean ports, mostly to
Europe.
Next came wheat from Seattle and
Tacoma, Washington, and Portland,
Oregon, and consigned to England,
France, Algeria, and South Africa.
Next came barley almost equal in
amount to wheat All of the barley was
shipped from San Francisco, and all
went to Great Britain, except small
amounts to Denmark and Holland.
Next followed sugar Most of it came
from Hawaii and was destined to the
harbor of New York; very small
amounts, however, came from Japan
and Peru.
Next in order came phosphates, and
then followed iron and steel, iron ore,
seed, flour, railway material, lumber,
machinery, cotton, canned goods, crude
oil, oats, Panama hats, copper ore, tex
tiles, cacao, coal, beans, liquors, rice,
and many other commodities.
The diversity of all this traffic will as
suredly increase the universal interest in
the commercial operation and influence

The Elqip Marbles.

The adventures of the Elgin marbles,
now In the British museum, began In
1903. when they We're wrecked at Ceri-
go on their way from Greece to Eng
land.S 1t took the divers three years
and vast sum of money to fish up the
Parthenon relics. II is believed that
Lord Elgin spent over f74OO0 In pro-
curing these priceless fragments left by
Turkish vandals, who would probably
have made an end Of even these had
the earl not rescued them In time. The
house Of commons voted 100000 for
their purchase. so that the enterprising
peer lost heavily In cash and suffered

A STORY THAT VARIES.

concealing herself I'm one Of those an
Client carved chests Of large size. After
she had got In the lid closed. and she
found herself unable to raise 1t again,
for 1t fastened with a spring. and she
was shut In. Search was made for her
in every quarter but the right one. and
great perplexity and dismny were caus-
ed by her disappearance. II was not
till years after, when chance led to the
opening OF the chest. that the body Of
the young bride was discovered and
the mystery Of her disappearance
solved.
The story Is found In so many places
that It may be questioned whether it Is
true of any one of them. Rogers tells
1t Of a palace In Modena. The chest
In which the poor bride was found Is
shown at Bramshill. in Hampshire, the
residence Of Sir John Cope. Another
similar chest. with precisely the same
story attached to 1t. was long shown at
Maxwell Old Hall. between Winchester
and Bishops Waltham.
The folk tale OF Catskin or Peau
Zane represents the girl flying with
her bridal dresses from n marriage that
Is repugnant to her. and as this tale is
found all over Europe 1t may have
metamorphosed itself into that Of the
bride who got into Il chest and died
there.-Cornhill Magazine.

REPUBLICANS MEET
Continued from page I

Now, In view of these great principles
and tenets of the Republican party on
which the members thereof are agreed
and united; in view Of our party's his
tory, traditions and achievements; look
ing to the future with hope and courage;
recognizing the failure of the Democrats
in the State and Nation in meeting the
just and reasonable requirements and
demands, we are opposed at this time to
the injection of matters, on which we as
individuals do not agree, thereby caus-
ing dissentions and divisions, inviting
defeat and disaster, which can only re-
suit, as heretofore in electing those who
stand for the things to which we are OPP
posed and are opposed to those things
which we stand.
Therefore, Be 1t Further Resolved,
That we declare our continued adherence
to the County Unit Law, amended, if
necessary, to make it more potent in
promptly carrying out the will of the
voters, as the best temperance measure
for Kentucky, until such time as the
Nation is ready to take effective action
on the question
We believe that so long as the inter.
state shipment of liquors into local op
ton and prohibition territory is permit
ted, that the cause of temperance would
not be benefited or advanced by the
abandonment of the county-unit for
statewide, while at the same time we
would drive the manufacturing industry
to the states across the river, deprive
our state of the enormous revenues, of
which it is so badly in need without any
corresponding benefits.
While we as individuals may be large
ly in favor of National prohibition, we
do not believe that it is within the
province of the State Convention, called
to declare the party's position on state
issues, to undertake to bind or commit
the party on national questions, but that
such action should be left to conven-
tons, called to elect and instruct dele
gates to National Conventions

Grip Of the BULLDOG.

nothing short Of being pried loose will
induce bulldog to give up his grip on
another dog or on an intruder. but this
is a mistake. A little household am
mOnia poured on him as near his nose
as circumstances will allow will make
him let go Immediately. The fumes Of
ammonia are 50 Overpowering that
dog cannot possibly maintain his grip

A New Tax System.

The voters of Kentucky will have an
opportunity to cast their suffrage in No
vember upon tax amendment to the
State Constitution. The present method
is not satisfactory. The fact is the
farmers and real estate owners are pay.
ing 90 per cent. of the taxes, while the
owners of personal property are only
paying 10 per cent. The State has an
Indebtedness of about $1,000, 900 and the
State Board of Equalization for several
years past has been attempting to re
duce it by repeatedly raising the prop
erty of the real estate owner or the
farmer. A system should be adopted to
reduce the tax on real estate and in
crease the tax on personal property.
Other States have passed tax laws re-
ducing the reality and raising it on per-
sonality, while other States are on the
eve of pursuing the same course. Ken
lucky cannot make this change under
the present Constitution, but in order to
do SO must vote an amendment thereto.
The voters of the State cast their suf-
frage favorably upon new tax system a
few years ago, but it was declared I'M
constitutional on account of the election
on the amendment not being published
at the proper time. The voters of Ken
lucky will have another opportunity to
vote upon the same amendment at the
fall election, and it is safe to predict
that it will carry by heavier vote than
at the last election.
