|| AP WHY KENTUCKIANS ELOPE, All the Pleasures of Romanceâ€"Bes A Lawrenceburg farmer heard that his daughter was clearing out with the son of a neighbor . There was no very strenâ€" uous objection and the father bought some wedding presents and with some of his friends started out in pursuit, They arrived in town about an hour after the ceremony~and were told that the happy pair had gone to the hotel for.dinner. ‘The whole party, headed by the rew bride‘s father, rushed into the diningâ€" room and formally presented the gifts, afterward: buying tickets for a honeyâ€" moon trip to Cincinpati. In the country districts of Kentucky a girl is an old maid at 25, at 30 she is passe and relegated to teacups, cats ani knitting. Corkscrew curls are hers. and In some counties in Kentucky last fall the number of elopements is said to have been as great as that of ordinary unroâ€" mantic, premeditated mgarriages. There are instances where three girls and three young men have formed a party and elâ€" oped together. _ The method of procedâ€" ure sometimes is unique. The belle wants none of the traditions lackingâ€"not in Kentucky. Her wardrobe may be slight, because she is in a hurry, but she is sure to take along Something old, something new. Something borrowed and something Keveral marriages have â€"been performed on railroad trains,. and one couple sought refuge by taking their minister on board a boat which was plying on the Kenâ€" tucky River below Frankfort. The old people, however, raise perenâ€" nial objectionsâ€"they always do, ‘The old people are matchmakers who follow all the traditions of the South, and the girl who is ambitious to dodge the imâ€" plication of bei.ng)omlled an old maid will take no risks. wn here in Kentucky there is no dearth of suitors, and the average blue grass belle does not have to wait long. She has sweethearts beâ€" fore she is out of short skirts, and it is no uncommon thing for her to be engagâ€" ed while she still wears her bair in a long plait down her.back and tops her eurls with a%aunty tamâ€"o‘â€"shanter. Here in Shelbyville eloping couples find. a meeeca. _ It is a quiet little place, with lots of churches and no end of obliging ministers. â€" The town is a stop for all trains, but the elopers do not take the railroad route if they are in fear of beâ€" ing discoveredâ€"not in Kentucky, These young Lochinvars take the best highâ€" stepper from the stable and start down the pike in a good rig. They then feel asâ€" sured that they will clear all pursuers and get the knot tied before the father can interrupt their plans by appearing on the scene with bootjack, gun or glad hand. blue on her hands when she goes to church are half lace mitts not kids. All this, writes a Shelbyville correspondent of the Henderson Jouranl, makes the race 10 eonjugal happiness one of almost madâ€" dening hasteâ€"in Kentueky. Twentyâ€" seven elopements in two days is the reâ€" cord of one backwoods county this seaâ€" In common with all the other states of the Union, Kentucky has more poor families than rich ones, and it follows that the preponderance of marriages is among the former, whose purses are not always equal to heavy outlays for elaâ€" orate wedding ceremonies. Hence it is that the most economical scheme of ¢!â€" opement is highly popular, with the addâ€" ed advantage of the spirit of romance that surrounds the idea of running away and being pursued by alleged irate parâ€" ents, who, it should be noted, never sucâ€" eeed in coming up with the elopers until the knot has been tied. The whole afâ€" fair is a pleasing illusion, and may it alâ€" ways be so. es s Suggestion to Dispose of the Human Body After Life Has Gone, American ingenuity and invention in dealing with the question of the dead, so far as concrete is concerned, has deâ€" voted itself to forms of concrete burial vaults and caskets, but the philosophical Germans have gone a step further and in a recent paper, the whole question of the disposition of the dead in citiesâ€"is proâ€" posed to be settled by the use of conâ€" erete in large bulk. The article begins, says the Cement Age, by stating the growing difficulties that large cities find to secure land which can be converted into cemeteries, and the fear of hygienâ€" ists as to the effect of these institutiong upon public health. Cremation is also referred to and the gssible danger to the community from the emanations goâ€" ing up the stacks of crematories. The writer ,Carl Schot, of. Cologne, proâ€" poses that the body shall be placed in a eement trough of beton, leaving a suffiâ€" cient space for the body, and over a cover is to be placed, enclosing it all. F The process of petrification of bodies by the taking up of stlicie acid and lime eoming from liquid cement, is described, which petrification the writer says, is 1ollowege by true petrification of the whole mass, In this way the body is Â¥reserved in its original form as a petriâ€" ied mass. This block or monolithic easket is then to be used to build cycloâ€" Eln temples, of which the stones will these concrete blocks or caskets. ‘These will not be bound together with mortar, except to a very small degree, but will, of course, have been thoroughly hardened by being left for a reasonable time under the ground. These wonderful temples may be conâ€" structed in any form of structure with various avenues and alleys, where the blocks containing the bodies will be laid and can be identified. The exterior decâ€" wration of these monuments may be BURIED IN A BLOCK. of Expense. Of governmental projects perhaps the greatest is the buying out of the comâ€" panies that supply London with water. Their claims amounted to about $250,â€" 000,000, but radical cuts were made by the Court of Arbitration appointed to adâ€" y‘xdicate them. It is unlikely that the etropolitan Water Board will do as well, financially, as these eight comâ€" panies, for the city‘s needs are growing with its population, while one of the chief sources of supplyâ€"the Thamesâ€" has been gradually dwindling for the last twenty years; so that it will be neâ€" cessary to go far afield, before long, for a supply of water that can be depended on in times of drought. Next comes the proposed improvement of the port, and its control by a singie body exercising the powers now «divided â€"between the Thames Conservancy and other authoriâ€" ties. The commerce of London has not grown as rapidly of late as «the city itâ€" self. Lest it should continue to lose ground, a royal commission has reported, the river channel must be widened to from 600 to 1,000 feet and deepened to 30 feet at low water. The estimated expense of this improvement is $12, 500,000; and new docks are recommended at a cost of about $22,500,000. made in the most classical f and these temples will become -a:mu to the cities; and all danger of contagion will be obviated by the petrification of the bodies. | _ This suggestion recalls the Pgo:iaion The principal public improvements of: the last fifteen years have been due to. the County Council, which superseded. the Metropolitan Board of Works under the Local Government Act of 1888. One of the least conspicuous but most costly of its single undertakings is the Blackâ€" well Tunnel, which, when opened in 1897, had swallowed up $7,000,000. The next undertaking of the sort (the tunnel from Rotherhithe to Ratcliffe) is expected to absorb nearly as much. The Tower Bridge, comglleted in 1894 at a cost of $5,000,000â€"the most conspicuous of Lonâ€" don bridges, the one farthest down stream, and the only one provided with a drawâ€"was the work of the Corporaâ€" tion of the City of London; and the same body is now widening London Bridge, the most famous and still the most travelled of the many roads across the Thames. The cost is estimated at $500,000. The corporation before long will probably. lower. the .crown . of the Southwark Bridgeâ€"a _ task which will virtually involve rebuilding, and is exâ€" pected to swallow up $1,750,000,. The sway of the County Council begins someâ€" what farther up the river, where $1,500,â€" 000 is being spent to replace Vauxhall Bridge with a structure of stecel.â€"From Randall Blackshaw‘s London in Transâ€" formation in the January Century.

"The facmer came running up to asâ€" sist me and when he found what was the matter returned to his wagon and came back with a few tobacco leaves unâ€" der his arm. "If you‘ll let me make a poultice out of these and place it on your ankle it will be all right in the morning," he said, and as I was about five miles from a doctor‘s office, with the pain in my ankle something fierce, I told him to go ahead.

"He dipped the leaves in the water of a creek near by, then bound them tightâ€" ly around my ankle, with the aid of a liandkerchicf, and assisted me into my vehicle. When I reached my rooms I was surprised to find that the pain in my ankle was much lessened and decided to give the poultice a fair trial.
