Old Folks Everywhere.

Kentucky is making a proud boast of its old people. There is old man Dave Galloway, of Uno, who is 50, and hasn’t been out of Hart county he was a boy. He plowed considerable this year, but never got too tiled to stop his mule and tell that flaa-bitten sage what Henry Clay said to hint once. There’s Mr. Phil Waters, too, six years older than old man Dave, and chipper as a cricket If it weren’t for him and Aunt Sally Huskinson, who lives over on Fountain Run, and is 102 years old come her next birthday, folks around the "Barrens” would have to look in the almanac to find out what century they were living in. But these hardy old pioneers are almost children when compared with Uncle Israel Tisdale, of Horse Cave. Uncle Israel says he’s 117, and there’s nobody to prove differently, besides, his shiny black face is as wrinkled as a butternut The last heard of him he was “cuttin’ capers” around a young cullud “widow ’onian,” and they say he’s got his eye out for another chance at matrimony. Such is the gallantry of old men in Kentucky. Kentucky is right to be proud of her old people. It is a land where folk take a great joy of life. The sun is bonny in Old eKntucky, the bluegrass is paradoxically green, and the air sweet with the bloom on the corn. ' All good things are there —the mellow dew of mountain moonshine, hominy and hog meat, tobacco as fragrant as though the lips of fair women had breather kisses on it. Its inhabitants are loath to leave this land dripping with fatness and perhaps that is why bonny in Old Kentucky, the bluegrass with their boots on and a few little puffs oL white smoke hanging in the foreground. Most of them just live on an on, enjoying life and its blessings, until one day there comes a strong wind blowing out of the mountains and it catches them up and the place thereof knows them no moie. But the oldest inhabitants are not all confined to Kentucky. Providence be thankful,we have them everywhere Life is better regulated and' better protected now than it used to bs. What would the world do without its brave octogenarians, with their ripe judgment, their cheery voices, their unfailing wisdom to guide the footsteps of those who must carry the business , of life where they have already trod? Blessings on the men who grow old serenely and on the women who grow old graceful y, for theirs is a beautiful autumn and a well earned time of rest!

Leon, being an electrician, fixed a contrivance to capture the miscreant and at the same time set off an alarm in the house. That night while Mr. Haskell and son were away the alarm started to going, signifying that something had gotten into the trap. Mrs. Haskell decided not to go out to it but to await the return of the men. There being no way for her to stop the alarm it was allowed to continue ringing. When the men returned the. armed themselves with clubs and stove pokers and sallied forth, opened the trap very carefully and to their amazement and chagrin, out strolled the family cat The dog is still at large.

Diphtheria’s Deadly Grasp.

t rancesville Tribune. lor the past month the home of James Burk, five miles southwest of Francesville, has been a hospital of limited capacity where three small rooms have furnished insufficient space to care for fourteen children, all of whom were innoculated with diphtheria.

With the continuous use of anti-toxin the other children were getting along alright until Saturday, when Addie, aged 6, and Anna, aged 12, took worse, with chai.ces very unfavorable for recovery, although one was reported slightly better Tuesday morning. The people of Nauvoo are giving the family every possible assistance since the fatal disease b°gan on its deadly mission and the at ending physicians are giving the family the closest kind of attention.

INTELLIGENT FARMING.

Different Treatment Is Needed for DIF ferent Soils. ■ One of the first thing* the farmer must learn is that soils differ greatly as to the kinds and quantities of the plant fopds they contain. This seem* to be one of the hardest things to impress upon the farmer. Over and over again the mistake is made of buying a fertilizer because it has given good results when applied to certain farms. In fact many of the fertilizer sellers put out literature that has for its base the testimonials • of growers showing how many potatoes were grown, or how much of other things were grown, as a result of 'the use of the fertilizer Soils differ so radically that it 1* impossible to make a fertilizer mixture that will be suited to the production of a certain crop in all places. The Supposition that such is possible is a delusion and a snare. Every farmer should try to read the reports of the investigations of soils, that he may be able to form a true conception of the needs of his soil. To show how enormously soils differ we have but to journey to different parts of the state of Illinois or to any state where a soil survey has been made and experiments undertaken. Go down into the Kankakee marshes that have been drained and brought into cultivation. They have soil so rich in nitrogen that it is a loss of time to put on nitrogenous fertilizers, and S4O of blood per acre gave no results. But a little potassium made the soil bring forth ten fold. Just the opposite may be found in another county where the land lacks nitrogen and has enough potassium. There the application of potassium had no effect while a little blood accomplished wonders. Many soils have both potassium and nitrogen, but lack phosphorus. This has to be supplied before they will give returns of any consequence. As long as men buy fertilizers because they do well in some places, so long will they throw away a large part of their money. Soils differ in different counties, and they differ sometimes on the same farm, says v Farmers’ Review. Frequently' one part of a farm is of one geological formation and another part of another geological formation. One may have been created a million years before the other was created. One may be product of the grindings of the glaciers, while another may be the result of the slow action of water depositing its silt little by little. One part of a man’s farm may be rich in nitrogen, while another is starving for it A man must know his land and what is in it

CARRYING TRUNK IN A BUGGY.

Frame Which Will Make the Undertaking Safe. To carry a trunk or any bulky article in a small buggy, make a frame out of two pieces of 1%x2 inch scantling*

Carrying Trunk In Buggy.

8 feet long. Nall a board across the ends as shown in A of the accompanying illustration. Place the free ends beneath the seat and under the foot rest in front, letting the frame extend behind the buggy. The trunk or box, explains Prairie Fanner, can then be placed on the end of the frame behind the seat of the buggy. It should be tied on.

BETTER THAN WHITEWASH.

Serviceable Paint Which Is Made Out of Sour Milk. A serviceable paint for farm buildings can be made by thickening sour milk or buttermilk with Portland lament and metallic Venetian red, or bright red paint powder to the ordinary paint consistency. I painted the outside of my barn (rough -lumber) with this mixture and also painted a few boards with ordinary oil paint as a check, and six years after the milk paint had preserved the wood better than the oil paint It has kept its color and shows no sign of age, writes a farmer in Indiana Farmer. This paint will not rub or wash off like whitewash, ,Jhe grease In the milk seems to have the fixing quality, as I tried using water with the cement and found It rubbed off readily.. For this reason it is judged that sour milk is better than buttermilk, as it contains more grease. This sort of paint costs but little and can bo mixed up instantly. It is very valuable for doing little odd painting Jobs around the farm which might not otherwise get I done. It is necessary to keep agitating the paint, as the cement settles quickly. Id the rotation a leguminous crop coming first win add nitrogen for the use jt subaeuiiahi crops.

SU AVIVORS OF TSU-SHIMA.

T *K of the Awful Hardship and Rough Treatment by Officers. A writer in the Slovo draws a painful picture of the attitude of the naval authorities toward the survivors of the Baltic fleet, which was destroyed in the battle of Tsu-shima. < “You cannot imagine the treatment to which we were subjected,” said a young officer of one of the Baltic cruisers to the writer. “It made one feel ashamed of wearing our uniform. For more than a year we did work equal to penal servitude. Our crews worked 18 hours a day carrying coal, transporting it to small boats in the ocean, languishing under a tropical sun, feeding on salt meat and tinned food. “During eight months we lived in dirt and slept.in rubbish. During eight long months not a single night passed without alarm or without expectation of the enemy’s attack. And before us we had still greater labor and privations in blockading Vladivostok in case we succeeded in reaching it. And reproaches and insults were our only reward. You know the rough nature of our sailors. Well, our chiefs have succeeded in touching them to the quick by their humiliating invectives, and I have seen them cry, broken down by this new kind of welcome from their mother country after the labors they have undergone. Truly, we envy those who perished.”—St. Petersburg Dispatch.

Thieves’ Shoes.

"Shoes have played an important part in the capture of criminals,” said Detective William Barrett of Buffalo. “Had it not been for the footwear of certain thieves they would never have been caught. It is not so long ago that I aid two others were detailed on a case, and before we caught our man another shop had been burglarized. We looked at the marks about the windows and noticed they were scraped by nails. We went back to the other place and found the same conaitions. Later we went into well-known resort and found a man sitting in a chair. He had his feet encased in a neat-flt-ting pair of shoes, but for some reason he had nails put In the heels. We “jumped” him at once, and, searching his rooms, we discovered enough loot to start a store. He later explained that the nails were put in his shoes to aid in roof-climbing. Squeaky shoes have caused the arrest of several thieves right in this precinct. The other night a thief bought a pair of cheap shoes and they were very musical. The man got into a place, and before he got anything his noisy shoes gave him away and he was caught. All clever criminals have a penchant for buying good soft shoes. They pay a good price for them and they are repaid sometimes by getting off with the swag to pay up for what they spent.”—Shoe Retailer.

Tea, Three Cents a Pound.

There is a description of tea sold in Japan at the average price the country over of 6(4d. per pound. This is “brancha,” which consists of a mixture of the former year’s leaves, withered stalks, etc., and is mainly consumed by the poorest classes, thowgh the price varies considerably in different prefectures, being as high as 9d. in Kagoshima and %d. per pound in Kyoto. In 1903, according to a consular report by Student Interpreter Phipps oi Tokio, no less than 55,588,030 pounds of tea of all was produced, valued at £1,120,800. During the same year 48,239,484 pounds valued at £l,422,535, were exported.—From the London Chronicle.

Mikado’s Large Income.

The yearly allowance of the Mikado, which is at the same time that of the whole imperichl family, is now $1,500,000. Beside; he hM the Yearly income of $500,000 from the interest on the $10,000,000 which was given to him from die war indemnity received from China ten years ago; of $250,000 from his private estates, which amount to $5,000,000 or more; of $500,000 from the forests, covering an area of 5,124,873 acres and valued at $512,487,300, at $lO an acre; in all, $1,250,000. Thus his yearly net income amounts to $2,750,000. There are in all sixty members of the imperial family, inclusive of eleven married and four widowed princesses, who are members of the royal family by marriage.

Orientalism in Commerce.

Even in its commerce Smyrna is Oriental. Few Westerns care a fig for Smyrna, but that famous old city regards the fig as the mainstay if its prosperity. The most popular merrymaking of Smyrna’s year is the fig festival. That takes place when the export of the fig harvest from the interior gets in. The first train load enters the station with the engine beflagged, the wagons covered with branches and garlands, and there areartillery salutes and flourishes of trumpets. These, however, arp as nothing compared with the noisy rejoicings of the populace, who follow loaded camels through the city to the grand bazaar singing and dancing with all the unrestrained fervor of the Orient —London Globe.

Has Ite Own Laws.

An English island free from English law is an anomaly, yet such is ths situation of the Isle of Man, which has a code oi laws entirely its own. It has uever been ruled by the laws of England.

One Early Ambition.

Lord Kitchener had an ambition to become an actor when a young man. A well known actor, whom the great soldier consulted, offered him a part as “walking gentleman,” but advised the army, and the engineers tn particular.
