ThePecular Amusement of a Little Ken¬
tucky Town.
People of tho little mountain town
of Sharp3burg, Ky., have a peculiar
divertissement known as "egg-throw¬
ing.” Formerly Sharpsburg was the
scene of many shootings and cuttings,
but the boys amuse themselves now
by throwing eggs at one another. The
eggs cost but little more than did the
44-calibre cartridges used in their
Winchesters, and sinco they have
been throwing eggs nobody has been
seriously wounded.
The heaviest battles occur on Satur¬
day night. Jim Strong is the captain
of one egg-throwing band and Bill
Eversole is the captain of the other.
They have about twenty men each.
Each man has to provide himself with
a dozen eggs, and of course it is to his
interest that he buys them where he
can get them the cheapest. As no in¬
dividual expects to he struck by his
own eggs, he does not require the
dealer to “caudle” them. In this way
the dealers in country produce here
are able to realize at least cojt price
on their sickest eggs.
Last Saturday night’s battle was .a
glorious one. The moon was shining
and the boys lined up for the fray
about 9 o’clock. Every member of the
two companies was present. Thc cap¬
tains did not throw, simply directing
the movements of their men. Each
man had his full quota of eggs when
the battle began. The first volley was
thrown by Strong’s men, and six men
on the Eversole side were struck.
Then the Eversoies began to throw
eggs, and at their first volley seven
Strong men were marked, and one egg
carried away the cap of Captain
Strong. Then the throwing became
indiscriminate, and no attempt at vol¬
ley work was made.
The sport did not cease until the
entire 4S0 eggs were thrown. Nearly
every man had been plastered and the
captains were regular omelets from
head to foot. It was decided that
Strong's men won the fight. The most
casual observer passing along the
street next morning could have told
there had been an egg battle, for the
houses, sidewalks, fences, and curb¬
stones were plastered with eggs and
shells.—Chicaeo Record.
, Son of a Siamese Twin,
W JL. Bunker, of Milan, Kan., who is
said to have raised the largest wheat
crop in Sumner County, is a‘ son of one
of. the famous Siamese twins, When
the twins had become rich they settled
in North Carolina, bought two large
plantations adjoining each other, and
married two sisters. They divided
their time between the two places,
spending, a day and a night on each,
aiternttely.
About 18S0, ten or twelve years after
the death of the twins, two of then-
boys came West and settled near Milan,
where they still live.
W. L. Bunker has a large farm well
stocked and fenced, and is wealthier
than the average Kansas farmer. He
is proud of his lineage, though he sel¬
dom mentions it. He is now about
forty years old, and says he remembers
well how the twins went about from
one plantation to the other. He has a
family of several children, and the
home suggests » quiet refinement not
often surpassed by the‘country place.
The Blues.
This is a synonym for that gloomy, harrassed
condition of the mind which has its origin in
dyspepsia. All the ugly spirits that, under
the name of the “blues,” “blue devils,”
“megrims” and “mulligrubs” torments the
dyspeptic almost ceaselessly, vanish when
attacked with Hostetter’s Stomach Bitters,
that, moreover, annihilates biliousness, con¬
stipation, chills and fever, kidney complaints
and nervousness.
The man robs others who does not make the
best of himself.

The Di<u*ipleg on the tiiko of Galilee—A
Draft of Discouragement—*The Disad¬
vantage of an Unfortunate Name—Some
Mistakes That Cloud the Karly Life.
Text: “The wind was contrary,” Mathew
xiv., 24.
As I well know by experience on Lake
Galilee, one hour all may be calm and tbe
next hour tbe winds and waves will be so
boisterous that you are in doubt as to
whether you will land on the shore or on
the bottom of tho deep. Tho disciples in
the text were oaucrht in such a stress of
weather and tho sails bent and tho ship
plunged, for “the wind was contrary.”
There is in ono of the European straits a
place where, whichever way you sail, the
winds are opposing. There are people who
all their life seem sailing in the teeth of
tho wind. All things seem against them.
It may bo said of their condition as of that
of the disciples ln my text, “the wind was
contrary.”
A great multitude of people ate under
seeming disadvantage, and I will to-day,
in the swarthiest Anglo-Saxon that I can
manage, treat their cases not as a nurse
counts tion and out eight thorn or ton drops half glass o? a prescrip¬
stirs in a of water,
but as when a man has by a mistake taken
a large amount of strychnine or paris green
or belladonna, and tho patient is walked
til rapidly he round the room and shaken up have un¬
gets wide awake. Many of you
taken a large draught of the poison of dis¬
couragement, and I come out by the order
of the Divine Physician to rouse you out of
that lethargy.
First, many people are under the disad¬
vantage of an unfortunate name given
them by parents who thought they were
doing a good thing. Sometimes at the
baptism of children while I have held up
one hand in prayer I have held up tho
other band in amazement that parents
should have weighted tho babe with such
a dissonant and repulsive nomenclature.
\ children have not so much wondered that some
should cry out at the christening
font as that others with such smiling face
should take a title that will be the burden
of their lifetime. It is outrageous to afflict
children with an undesirable name because
it happened to be possessed by a parent or
a rich uncle from whom favors are ex¬
pected or some prominent man of the day
who may end bis life in disgrace^, It is no
excuse, because they are Scripture names,
to call a child Jehoiakim or Tiglath-Pil-
oser. I baptized one by the name Bath-
sheba. Why, under all the circumambient
heaven, any parent should want to give to
a child the name of that loose creature of
Scripture times I cannot imagine. I have
often felt at the baptismal altar, when
names were announced to me. like saying,
as did tho Rev. Dr. Richards, of Morris¬
town, N. J., when n child was handed him
for baptism and the name given. “Hadn’t
you better call It something else?”
Impose not upon that babe a name sug¬
gestive of flippancy or meanness. There is
no excuse for such assault and battery on
the cradle when our Janguagd is opulent
with names musical and suggestive in
mea ning, such as John, meaning “the* gra¬
cious gift of God,” or Henry, meaning “the
chief of a household,” or Alfred, meaning
“good counselor,” or Joshua, meaning
“God, our salvation,” or Ambrose, moaning
“immortal,” or Andrew, meaning “manly,”
or Esther, meaning “star,” or Abigail,
ing meaning “my father’s joy,” or Anna, mean¬
“grace,” or Victoria, meaning “vic¬
tory,” or Rosalie, meaning “beautiful ns a
rose,” or Margaret, meaning “a pearl,” or
Ida, meaning “godlike,” or Clara, meaning
“illustrious,” or Amelia, meaning “busy,”
or Bertha, meaning “beautiful,” and hun¬
dreds of other names just as good that are
ft help rather than a hindrance.
But sometimes the great hindrance in life
is not in the given name, but in the family
name. While legislatures are willing to
lift such incubus, there are families that
keep a name which mortgages all the gen¬
erations with a great disadvantage. You
say, “I wonder if he is any relation to So-
and-so,” mentioning some family celebra¬
ted for crime or deception. It is a wonder
to me that in all such families some spirited
young man does not rise, saying to his
brothers and sisters, “If you want to keep
this nuisance or sc&ud&Uzation of a name,
I will keep it no longer than until by
quickest course of law I can slough off this
gangrene.” The city directory lias hun¬
dreds of names the inere pronunciation of
which has been a life-long obstacle. If you
have started life under a name which either
through ridiculous orthography or vicious
suggestion has been an incumbrance, re¬
solve that the next generation shall not
be so weighted. It is not demeaning to
change a name. Saul of Tarsus became
Paul the Apostle. Hadassah, “the myrtle,”
became Esther, “the star.” We have in
America, and I suppose it is so in all coun¬
tries, names which ought to be abolished
and can be and will be abolished for the
reason that they are a libel and a slander.
But if for any person you are submerged
either by a given name or by a family name
that you must bear, God will help you to
overcome the outrage by a life consecrated
to the good and useful. You may erase
the curse from the name. If it once stood
for meanness, you can make it stand for
generosity. If once it stood for pride, you
can make it stand for humanity. If it once
stood for fraud, you can make it stand for
honesty. If once it stood for wickedness,
you can make it stand for purity. There
have been multitudes of instances where
men and women have magnificently inflicted con¬
quered the disasters of the name
upon them.
Again, many people labor under the mis¬
fortune of incompetent physical equipment.
We are by our Creator so economically
built that we cannot afford the obliteration
of any physical faculty. We want our two'
eyes, our two ears, our two hands, our two
feet, our eight fingers and two thumbs.
Yet what multitudes of people have ordinary but
one eye or but one foot! The
casualties of life have been quadrupled,
quintupled, sextupled, aye, and centupled, North i t
our time by the Civil War, at the
and South a great multitude are fighting
the battle of life with half, or less than half,
the needed physical armaments. I do not
wonder at the pathos of a soldier during
the war, who, when told that he must have
his hand amputated, said, “Doctor, can’t
you save it?” and when told that it was im ¬
possible, said, “Well, then, goodby, old
liand. I hate to part with you. You have
done me a good service for many years, but
it seems you must go. Goodby.”
Put to full uso all the faculties that re¬
main and charge on all opposing circum¬
stances with the determination of John of
Bohemia, who was totally blind, and yet at
a battle cried out, “I pray and beseech
you to lead me so far into the llgjit that I
may strike one good blow with this sword
of miner* Do not think so much of what
faculties you have lost as of what faculties
remain. *You have enough left to make
yourself felt in three worlds, while you
help the earth and balk hell and win
heaven. Arise from your discouragements,
O men and women of depleted or crippled the
physical faculties, and see what, by
special help of God, you can accomplish! under
Another form of disadvantage
which many labor is lack of early educa¬
tion. There will be no excuse for iguor-
anc© in the next generation. Free schools
and illimitable opportunity of education
will make ignorance a crime. I believe in
compulsory education, and those parents
who neglect to put their children under
educational advantages have but one right
left, and that is the penitentiary. But
there are multitudes of men and women in
midlife who have had no opportunity. Free
schools had not yet been established, and
vast multitudes had little or no school at
all. They feel it when, as Christian men,
they come to speak or pray in religious
assemblies or public occasions, patriotic
or political or educational. competent, They are

Zion is higher than Mount Parnassus.
But what other multitudes there are uu-
a sham, and while the wife prays the chil-
Oren one way tlio husband swears them an-

trying to do his best for God and the
church, and his wife holds him back and

Others had wrong proclivities from the
start. They were born wrong and that

They have a natural crankiness Unit is 275
yearaold. It came over with their great-
grandfathers from Scotland, or Wales, or
France. It was born on the banks of the
Thames, or the Clyde, or the Tiber, or the
Rhine, and has survived all the plagues
and epidemics of mauy generations, and is
living to-day on the banks of the Potomac,
or the Hudson, or the Androscoggin, or
the Savannah, or the La Plata. And when
a man tries to stop this evil ancestral
proclivity he is like a man on a rock in the
rapids of Niagara, holding on with a grip
from which the swift currents are trying
to sweep him into the abyss beyond.
Oh, this world is an overburdened world,
and overworked world. It is an awfully tired
world. It is a dreadfully unfortunate
world. Scientists are trying to find out
tho cause of these earthquakes in all lands,
cisatlantic and transatlantic. Some say
this and some say that. I have taken the
diagnosis of what is the matter with the
earth. It has so many burdens on it and
so many fires within it, it lias a lit. It can¬
not stand such a circumference alid such a
diameter. Some new Cotoxpaxi or Strom-
boli or Vesuvius will open, and then ail will
be at poace for the natural world. But
what about the moral woes of the world
that have racked all Nations, and for 6000
years science proposes nothing but knowl¬
edge, and many people who know the most
are the most uucomforted?
In the way of practical relief for ail
disadvantages and all woes the only subject voice
that is worth listening to on tills is
tho voice of Christianity, which is have the voice
of Almighty God. Whether I men¬
tioned tho particular disadvantage under
which you labor or not, I distinctly de¬
clare, in the name of my God, that here is
a way out and a way up for all of you. You
cannot bo any worse oil than that Christian
young woman who was in the Pemberton
mills when they fell some years ago, and
from under the fallen timbers she wus heard
singing, “I am going home to die no
more.”
Take good courage from that Bible, all
of whose promises are for those in bad pre¬
dicament. There are better days foi*you,
either on earth or in heaven. I put my
hand under your chiu and lift your face
into the coming dawn. Have God on your
side, and then you have for reserve troops
all the armies of heaven, the smallest com¬
pany of which is 20,000 chariots and the
brigade 144,000, the lightnings of
heaven their drawn sword.
An ancient warrior saw an overpowering
host come down upon his small company
of armed men, and mounting his horse he

"Let their faces be covered with confu¬
sion.” And both armies heard His voice,
history says it seemed as though the
dust thrown in the air had become so
many angels of supernatural deliverance,
and the weak overcame the mighty, and
the immense host fell back, and the small
number matched on. Have faith in
God, and, though ail the allied forces of
discouragement seem to come against of
you in battle array and their Jaugh
and contempt resounds through
ail the valleys and mountains, you might
by faith in handful God and the importunatejirayer dust of

COOD ROADS NOTES.
Views of New York's Lieutenant-Gover¬
nor.
In the course of a recent speech at
Binghamton, N. Y., Lieutenant-Gov¬
ernor Woodruff said: “Now that I
have, through my participation dur-
j ono 8e8gion o£ tho Legislature, ac-
management experience of State concerning, affairs, it the
is my
purpose next winter to devote a large
0 f Jn y time an( j energy to the se-
curing of good roads. Legislation in
that direction failed during the legis-
ltttive 8e8s j on 0 f1897 because of the
opposition of the farm owners of the
State, who naturally prefer to work
the roads running through their farms
themselves themselves, rnthnr rather than than pay nnv the tne tax tax
required for some department of the
State to do it. We all know that the
making of good roads requires a care-
ful study of the subject and practical
experience such as most of the farm-
era do not possess. I sincerely hope
that the rural commU nities of our
a btato may be brought to a realization .. .
of the real situation, and another win-
ter acquiesce in a systematic plan for
~ad improvement, not forgetting that
ovei sixty per cent, ot the cost ox such
improvement will be defrayed by the
taxpayers of the cities. I believe that
almost , v every r farmer will «n save m • 11 the „
cost of getting his produce to market
a sum greater thm liis individual tax
by tho substitution of good roads for
tne very poor ones now so prevalent
throughout the Empire State.”

Cost of Bad Roads.
According to statistics collected by
tbe office of road inquiry of the De¬
partment of Agriculture, the amount
of loss each year by bad roads of the
country is almost beyond belief.
Some 10; 000 letters of inquiry were
sent to intelligent and reliable farmers
throughout the country, and returns
were obtained from about 1200 coun¬
ties, giving the average length of
haul in miles from farms to markets
and shipping points, the average
■weight of load hauled and the average
length per ton for the whole length of
the haul.
Summarized, it appears that the
general average length of haul is
twelve miles, the weight of load for
two horses 2006 pounds, and the aver¬
age cost per ton per mile twenty-five
cents, or §3 for the entire load.
Allowing conservative estimates for
tonnage of all kinds carried over pub-
lie roads, tho aggregate expense of
this transportation is figured at $946,-
414,600 per annum. Those in a posi¬
tion to judge, calculate that two-thirds,
or nearly $631,000,000, could bo saved
if the roads were in reasonably good
condition. At $4000 per mile a very
good road can be constructed, and if
an amount equaling the savings of one
year were applied to improving high-
ways, 157,000 miles ot road in this
country could be put in condition.
The effect of this would be a per¬
manent improvement, and an exchange
says not only would the farmer be
astonished in the sudden reduction in
his road tax, but he would also wonder
at the remarkable falling off in the
cost of transportation. He would also
find that he required fewer horses and
less feed for them. He could make
two trips to market a day instead of
one, when ability to get his goods
there at a time when high prices are
ruling is a matter of great conse-
quenoe.
Farmers are beginning to apply a
little simple arithmetic to some of these
and it is not too much to ex¬
pect that in the near future we shall
see a decided revolution in the condi¬
tion of our Jural highways.—Farm,

Immigration Figures.
The highest immigration record, ex¬
cluding the arrivals of aliens not so
classed, is that of 1882, when the pro¬
digious number of 788,992 came, fol¬
lowing the previous year’s 609,431, till
then unprecedented. In 1883 there was
a heavy falling off to 603,322, and the
decrease went on until 334 203 was
reached in 18SG. Then the tide again
turned, and with some variations an¬
other climax was reached in 1892,
when the figures were 623,084, the third
highest mark, and not far behind that
of 1881. But then began another ebb,
with 502,917 in 1893, followed by 314,-
467, then 279,948, then by 343,207, and
now this year by an astonishing reduc¬
tion to 230,832, as shown by a special
bulletin of the Treasury Department.
The Toad's Larder.
S. V. Hall, of Dunkirk, Ga., discov¬
ered a fact in natural history the other
day. He has a number of beehives
around which toads were in the habit
of gathering of an evening. Prompted
by curiosity, Mr. Hall lingered the
other evening as the bees came in
laden with honey to see what the clam¬
my jumpers were waiting for. As the
bees came in the toads shot out their
long thin tongues and captured every
bee. Mr. Hall dissected one of the
frogs and found its stomach full of
bees, some whole, others in various
stages of digestion. The toads as gour¬
mands certainly manifested an inter¬
esting intelligence in forsaking the
garden with its chance bugs for this
certain provision of choice tid-bits.
A Beautiful Blotchy Face.
Right off you say, “Impossible!” Ringworm And other so it
is. Tetter, Eczema, or any
scaly, ugly skin disease makes the handsomest
face hideous. “Tetterine will cure them. It’s
the only cure—certain, safe, sure. 60 cents et

THE TURN OF LIFE
Is the most important period in a wo¬
man’s existence, Owing to modem
methods of living, not one woman in a
thousand approaches this perfectly
natural change without experiencing
a train of very annoying and some¬
times painful symptoms.
Those dreadful hot flashes, sending
the blood surging to thc heart until it
seems ready to burst, and the faint
feeling that follows, sometimes with
chills, as if the __
heart were go- Q
ing to stop for
good, are symp-
toms of a dan-
gerous nervous
trouble. Those
hot flashes are
just so
many calls
fromna- V7
ture for 'w V
help. The
nerves are crying out for assistance.
The cry should be heeded in time. Lydia
E. l’inkham’s Vegetable Compound
was prepared to meet the needs of
woman’s system at this frying period
of her life.
Tho Vegetable Compound is an in¬
vigorating strengthener of the female
organism. It builds up the weakened
nervous system and enables a woman
to pass that grand change trium¬
phantly.
It does not seem necessary for us to
prove the honesty of our statements,
but it is a pleasure to publish such
grateful words as the following :
“ I have been using Lydia E. Pink-
ham’s Vegetable Compound for some
time during the change of life and it
has been a saviour of life unto me. 1
can cheerfully recommend your medi¬
cine to all women, and I know it will
give permanent relief. I would be
glad to relate my experience to any
sufferer.”— Mbs. Bella Watson, 524
