FRIDAY, JAN. 24, 1896.
THERE has been a large amount of rainfall during the last few days. The rains have been the heaviest during the nights, Several of the creeks of the cout'fy are out of their banks. The ground is filling up vith with water as all the rains have been such that |the water soaked in about as fast as it fell. It should soon begin to tell on the wells and someof them fill up that have gone dry in the past year or two.
N that the Republicans are in charge of the affairs of Kentucky, the State Treasurer not only finds the treasury empty, but bankrupt. When the Republican State Treasurer took charge of the office he found $169.78 to the credit of the general fund, with unraid warrants outstanding amounting to $609,000. There is also due the asylums for former ap propriations $176 000 To pay $785,000 there is less th?m $170. There remains to the credit of the school fund $39,880 66 There was due the teachers of the State January 6, $414,000, so that [when the $39,880 is paid out there will be $374,000 due the teachers, which they cannot bore to get

USES OF OZONfc.
Valuable For Artificially Aging Liquor or Season inft Wood.
Ozone is now practically applied for several purposes. Experiments with it have shown that it will artificially age brandy, whisky, sweet and hard wines and liquors. Ozone will also improve coffee by rendering harmless oily beans. The aroma of tobacco is also considerably improved by the application of ozone. The latest application of it is for rapid seasoning of wood for sounding boards of musical instruments, which for the purpose is left in a hermetically closed, heated room from 12 to 24 hours, ozonified air being freely introduced into the room. It seems that this process will harden the wood, increase its resistance against the influence of temperature and moisture and give it considerably more acoustio or resounding quality.
Another recent application of ozonified air is that of the thickening of linseed oil for the manufacture of linoleum, which by the old process took several months. By the liberal use of ozone linseed oil is now thickened to the required consistency within a few days. Most remarkable, however, is the advantage of employing ozone for bleaching linen, since the time employed is less than one-third of the bleaching process by sunlight, not considering that this latter is dependent both upon the season and the weather. The ozone process of bleaching renders the work absolutely independent of outside influences. Ozone has also been found very valuable in chemical and technical processes, particularly in the production of pure derivatives of starch, for instance, soluble starch, dextrin, crystal gum, etc. Here the ozone is instrumental in tak ing away all the matter which causes the dark color, bad odor and taste.— Philadelphia Record.
Hotel Kleptomaniacs.
I was talking to a hotel clerk, and he said: "Talkabout kleptomaniacs at dry goods stores, they are scarcely a circumstance to those at a first class hotel. People who cheerfully pay $5 a day for board will steal a 10 cent cake of soap and put themselves to a great deal of trouble to do it. But the principal things guests take are towels, and the collection of those articles has become a regular fad. They are taken as souvenirs of the hotel, and a lady who has traveled a great deal will have a whole trunkful with the names of the hotels on them. This is conclusive proof that they have stopped at those houses, and a person whose towels bear the marks of hotels throughout the civilized world is to be envied as possessing a most interesting collection of mementos. A few napkins .. are taken and occasionally spoons. Door keys and checks used to disappear in great numbers, but none of these equals towels in the eyes of collectors of hotel souvenirs."—Washington Star.
Deafness Cannot Be Cured-
by local applications as they cannot reach the diseased portion of the ear. There is only one way to euro deafness, [and ttat is by constitutional remedies. Deafness is caused by an inflamed condition of the mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube is inflamed you have a rumbling sound or, imperfect* hearing, and when i) is.entirely .closed, Deafness is the result, -and unless the icflamation can be taken out and this tube restored to its normal cotdition, hearing' will be destroyed'forever ni le cases out of? ten are caused^by cataira, which is nothing but an. inflamed.condit}on of the mucous surfaces.

THE EYE OF THE HEART
"I'd
know him—aye, know him 'mid thousands," she said, "Although these poor eyes cannot see, The sound of his voice and the lilt of his tread
Would alike be sweet music to me," So all day she sat by the door of her cot While she dreamed of her lad far away, Aiid she never bemoaned her poor, pitiful lot,
For her hope bloomed anew day by day.
The roses had faded for many a year They told her the boy of her heart Had long since forgotten the mother once dear,
But ne'er would his image depart. "I know he will come,'' she would murmur, "dear lad,
He would never forsake me, not he, And my poor waiting heart occe again will be glad
When my laddie comes over the sea."
A stranger walked up to her cottage one day. Said he: "I bring news from your son. He rests in his grave, out at sea, far away."
She smiled ere his words were half done. "It's wise ye may be," she exclaimed, as she rose
And clasped him with transports of joy "No mother so blind, laddie, all the world knows,
As not know her own darling boy I" —Monroe H. Rosenfeld in New York Sun.
AN ODD COUPLE.
Usually every community has a few individuals that can be called originals, and by their originality attain a classical fame, and among several such characters I remember old Fia Maord and the provincial letter carrier, Johannes Isaksson.
Fia Maord had her little history and her proud recollections in spite of her humble station in life. Ever since she was a child, and long after she had attained the gracefulness in figure of a barrel, she had been in the service of the barons of Svanaholm, and when the old baron departed this life, like all other barons, and his son, the young honorable, succeeded his father, feeling his asstlietic mind suffer from daily beholding old Fia's corpulence, Fia was pensioned off and given a little cottage on the estate and enough pasture ground to support in comfort the female of the bull—in other words, a cow of the regulation pattern and size. Old Fia had it most comfortable in her old age. Not a party, wedding, christening or funeral took place for miles around but that old Fia must be there and cook, and as Fia was not by any means bashful, her larder was constantly provided with the choicest of eatables and drinkables.
Old Fia was certainly not a beauty. She sported a pair of mustaches that were the envy of the young men in the village. Her form partook more of the resemblance of a Dutch cheese than a sylph, and to behold Fia sailing down the village street, like a galley under full sail, was a sight for the gods. Of course Fia was not to blame for her appearance—that was accepted as a freak of the Creator—but Fia was of such extremely moral temperament that as soon as she discovered that any young man and woman in her neighborhood were spooning, or an engagement reported, Fia did her best to break or hinder it, claiming it was all frivolity and the work of the evil one. Of course Fia claimed to be prompted only by the best intentions, but this little streak of virtue in old Fia was not appreciated by the young people, and Fia was considered a good, lawrul subject for all the pranks that the depraved minds of the young village people were capable of, and young people's minds in our modern times are very elastic.
Imagine, then, the glorious rumor that spread that £ld Fia herself had been made subject for the lance of the evil one and that the object of her tender, maidenly love was the old letter carrier, Johannes. And to think of the consequences of letting love loose in such a big body as Fia's! Tho result might well be considered serious, and the villagers were on the tiptoe of expectation.
Old Johannes had, early in life, been a steward on a big estate and associated with city people, and even met foreigners, and acquired a high toned language and manner which, all combined, had conquered old Fia's maiden reserve.
One day Johannes had called at Fia's cottage to deliver a letter, and as this was something so extraordinary,an event in Fia's life, Johannes must perforce remain and read the communication. It turned out to be a notification that Fia had inherited the respectable sum of 1,000 rix dollars from a member of the noble family of Svanaholm, and Fia had, therefore, the attraction of an heiress for Johannes.
Fia, on her part, considered Johannes as a great man. Was not his language like what she sometimes had heard at Svanah^m? And did he not represent his majesty the king's postoffice department? The best of everything from Fia's larder was placed before Johannes, and he was feasted like a king. The satisfaction was mutual, for as Johannes said one day: "Mamselle Fia, it is so pleasurable to visit here, when one has asBuetuded with edificated persons, and again converse with an .-equivoke and eynic female."
Old Fia just sat there, the picture of astonishment at the big words, of which she did not understand the meaning, but it charmed the old girl, and Johannes' learning was rewarded with pancakes and frequent glasses of something Fia claimed kept rheumatism out of the bones.
Johannes would have been made of stone if such attention had not touched his heart or his stomach. Whether Fia or Johannes first made the proposition to visit the village pastor and request that the banns be published between them will forever remain a mystery. (In Sweden it is the custom for the pastor to read the names from the pulpit after service on Sunday of those that intend to marry, and this is done for three Sundays in succession.) 'V
Both Fia and Johannes knew tEat if their intention became known to the villagers they would be exposed to much unpleasantness from the young people, and they decided on a plan that they thought was very clever. This was for Johannes and Fia to start, dressed in {heir ordinary everyday dress, by sepa-
rate routes and then to meet at the edge of the forest, where they could put on their Sunday costume, which they would bring with them tied up in a bundle.
The two benighted old souls had many a good laugh at the clever way in whioh they would fool their tormentors.
The day finally arrived, and early in the morning Johannes started out, carrying with him his Sunday dress, tied up in a bundle. Unfortunately he was compelled to pass through the village street, and here be was accosted with the inquiry by one of the young fellows of the village "where the postmaster was going to so early in the morning?" "Oh," replied Johannes—and he tried to look dignified—"just peregrinating terra firma." Johannes expected the big words would astonish his tormentor, but the boy stuck to him and succeeded in discovering that Johannes' Sunday coat was in the bundle. The villagers were at one informed of the fact, and Johannes was followed at a distance by one of the boys. Soon Fia was seen waddling through the village street, also carrying a bundle, and the villagers were now sure that something was about to happen. Fia was followed, and was seen to enter the forest. Here she met Johannes, and both were busy taking off their everyday dress when, with a horrible yell, the entire population of the village was seen approaching. "Look out for the wolves!" they cried. "They are biting everybody." Fia and Johannes did not stand on ceremony. In his flannel underwear, leaving his Sunday dress behind, Johannes sprinted for the village church, followed by Fia in her red petticoat, with the villagers running behind them, yelling "Wolf!"
The minister was baptizing Abolid Kristina's child, when the door to the sacristy was burst open and Fia, breathing like a whale from her exertion, rolled in, followed by Johannes, bareheaded and in his flannels.
The minister and the baptizing party were almost scared out of their wits. "My friends! My friends! Have you escaped from highwaymen, or has the evil spirit entered into you?" "No," said Fia, with the little voice she could command after her rapid running. "Begging the worthy pastor's pardon, no other spirit has entered in ns but to come here and request the worthy pastor to read the banns over me and Johannes next Sunday. But the villagers say the wolves were after them, and I have lost my Sunday dress, and Johannes"—and here Fia had to stop for lack of breath, and Johannes tried to crawl under a table to hide himself.
The minister was not slow to see the joke and understand the situation. Repressing as far as possible his inclination to laugh, he requested Fia and Johannes to approach his table, and addressed them on the sanctity of matrimony. When the pastor went home to his dinner, he and his sexton had a good laugh, at probably the oddest pair of lovers ever to appear before a minister.
And as for the village people, they yelled and cried and hurrahed until Johannes, as he later confided to Fia over a tumbler of something refreshing, "had never in his life been-so extemporaneously frustrated," and that he expected every minute to be stricken with obfuscation."—From the Swedish.
Peter Backed Out.
A New Orleans letter to tho Philadelphia Press contains an account of a singular adventure that befell a Louisiana boy, Peter Sykes by name, who drives a milk cart for his father. He was on the road about sunrise, pretty dozy and perhaps sleeping a little, when a sudden jolt shook him wide awake.
Instantly he became aware of a horrible thing. By some unaccountable means a big rattlesnake bad found its way into the cart, and was wrapped about the neck of one of the large milk cans. The fellow looked as if he were all ready to strike. That was an awful moment for Peter.
The cart was a tight little box of a place. The two cans filled up the front, and the driver's seat was well in the rear. A covering of black oilcloth shut the boy in. There was a narrow door space on either side, to be sure, but as it happened Peter had fastened down both the flaps to keep out the morning chill.
It would not do to stop the cart, lest the sudden jar should hasten the snake's movements. A flash of thought, Iika an inspiration, came to the boy. With his eye still fixed on the reptile, he drew his knife from his pocket and whipped the blade across the tight oilcloth behind him, making a wide gash. Then shouting "Whoa!" to the horse, he let go the reins and dropped headforemost out of the cart.
Luckily the horse stopped, and a policeman who happened along at the moment helped Peter to kill fte snake. According to the story, the fellow measured 4 feet and carried ten rattles.
She Was an Illustrator.
The teacher of a primary school in the mission read "The Old Oaken Bucket" to the little tots, and explained it to them very carefully. Then she asked them to oopy the first stanza from the blackboard and illustrate it as the artists illustrate a story in the dally papers.! One little girl handed in her verse with. Beveral little dots between two of the' lines, a oircle, half a dozen dots and three buckets. "Lizzie, I don't understand this," said the teacher. "What is that circle?" "Oh, that's the well." "And why have you three buckets?" "One is the oaken bucket, one is the iron bound bucket and the other is the bucket that hung in the well." "Then what are all of those little dots?" "Why, those are the loved spots which my infancy knew."—San Francisco

"What is she marrying for—money or family?" "Family, I should nay. He's a widower with 11 children."—New York Tribune.
