ANOTHER REGISTRATION DAY The republicans of Paducah are makiog a mistake in not registering. |There is yet one more day upon which voters can register and all the voters of Paducab whether republi- cans or otherwise should register. No one can tell what will happen be- tween now and election day. Many a voter who today thinks be would not vote under any circumstances, may be very anxious to do so when elec- tion day comes. We will admit that the choice in the congressional race between a populist and a free silver democrat is a pretty hard one for the republicans to decide between. Yet the campaign may take such a turn that every republican will want to cast his vote even between Wheeler RAILROAD!

Yet there are, it appears by the last published report of the Interstate Commerce i ion, 830,000 railroad em- ployes in the United States, whose gross wages and salaries are nearly $500,000,000 a year, or 62 per cent, of the operating expenses of the Ameri railways. There are four employes, on an average, for each mile of railroad track. There are 30,049 station agents, 35,667 en- gineers, 25,322 condvetor 43,768 switchmen, flagmen and watchmen, and 21,452 telegraph operators and dispatchers. At the present ratio of increase—there are now 50,000 more railway employes in the United States than there were in 1895—the total number will not be very far be- low 1,000,000 at the time of the next cénsus. Here is sa army in which there i no mustering out and no war footing, for the railroad army of the United States, larger than the number of railroad employes of any other coun- try, is essentially an army of peace, and it is steadily growing at a rate larger than the railroads themselves, taking the mileage ss a measure of their importance.—New York Sun.

Was Not Held in Very High Esteem by Relativ-s. Thomas Carlyle had no overplus of appreciation from his relatives and the Scotchmen born and bred in the same surroundings. He shared thi old cross of being almost without honor in his own country. A writer in the Atlantic Monthly says that ar acquaintance of his own had been a’ school with Carlyle, and, though he often unwittingly threw some side light on the philosopher's character he had not the slightest appreciatior of his greatness. This man reac Carlyle’s “Reminiscences,” and re membered many of the events there in recorded; but this was the style o* his comments: “Oh, Tam, Tam, that’s just like you! Ye were aye sair af flicted with the big head, aye bragging about yourself and a’ belonging t you.” ““A cantankerous lear,” wai the description this man gave of him as a boy. “None of us liked him he was aye saying biting, jibbing things.” Perhaps there Tittle personal rancor at the root of thir criticism, for the two boys had fou, and Tom Carlyle had given the o a sound thrashing. But this was the only Scotchman who saw hit countryman from the commonplace tide. ‘An American pilgrim, on hv way to Craigenpnttoch, one day over took a native, of whom he inquirec about the Carlyles. “Oh, ay,” said h “I ken the Carlyles! Tam isa of books, but we do not think muct af him in these parts. Jeems is tle best of the family.

The druggist of the present time does not differ greatly from his broth: er of the eighteenth century. The extensive use of proprietary medi- cines, especially in America, has, how: ever, decreased his prescriptions; but at the same time these proprietary medicines are sold through him, and sell so largely that he does not com: plain. While a useful and able mem- ber of the community, the pharmacist of to-day is not an original invest tor or a prescriber, and limits his ef- forts to filling the prescriptions that are sent him by his friends, the physi cians, Every yeur he became a great er adept in his art, which with the course of time has come to be consid: ered a branch of trade rather thana rr essiony while the druggist is jooked upon in the light of a skilled laborer. The most successful drug gist of the present time is not he who mixes his drugs most skillfully, but he who has the business capacity to make hié shop profitable to him, It is often the druggist least skilled in the art of pharmacy that possesses this capacity. It is not unreasonable to believe that, as humanity progresses in its knowledge of hygienic living, a sub- ject in which great interest is being taken to-day, the drug shop will be in less and Jess demand, until, after the lapse of ages, it may become entirely extinct. Until that time the drug. gist will continue to ply his calling, alleviating his drugs the ills of a too rapid civilization, in which men have no time to rest and repair their wasted energies, but simply patch them up by the use of the apoth eary’s wares.” And because of this, er!” for last| high as 90 degrees in the shade, and yd inirmary did not|today the lowest point reached was The indications are for clear the druggist will for a long time main au important member of any conmmumity in which he chooses to MUNYON HEADACHE AND INDIGESTION CURE only remedy on the ry form of Headed to 10 min y " ulate the Derre the aystein, In should be in and every traveller's gripaack, cists, 28 cures. he, BREVITIES OF FUN.

THE ELOTHERIUM. Interesting Discovery of Bones of an Animal Long Extinct. The discovery of the entire ekele- ton of an elotherium in the Bad Lands, 59 miles east of Rapid City 8. D., has aroused considerable inter. est among paleontologists. ‘The valu- able find is accredited to Prof. O. C. Farrington, of the Field Columbian museum, of Chicago, and the bones have been ehipped to the windy city. Prof. O. C. Marsh 27 years ago discovered a skeleton in the north- eastern part of Colorado, the first of e species found. Prof. Marsh, who bas explored a large portion of Colo- » in search of evidence of prehis- toric life, says the genus elotherium, established by D’omel in 1847, rep- resents a family of extinct SHEN all of much interest. They were found first in Europe, bat are now found in the miocene beds of North America, not only on the Atlantic coast, but especially in the Rocky mountain region and etill further west. The family includes severa] genera and subgenera and_ quite « number of species, some of which con- tain individuals of large size, only surpassed in bulk among their con temporaries by members of the rhi- noceros family and of brontotheri- dae. Remains of the group have been known for nearly half a century, yet until recently comparatively little had heen determined with certainty regarding the skeletons ‘The adult individual, when alive, was more then seven feet in len; and about four fect in height he basis of the restoration by Prof, Marsh is the specimen found by him in 1870 in the miocene beds of northeastern Colorado, and described in 1873. Looking at the skeleton, the most striking features are the large and peculiar skull and the elongated and slender limbs and feet. The most notable points in the skull are the long, pendent process of the malar bone, characteristic of some of the tloths, and the strong projection of the lower jaw. Another feature of the skull is the very small hrain case, which proves that the brain itself was very diminutive. Thi also true of the other known species, and was probably the main reason which led to the early extinction of the whole group. The slender, ized limbs and feet are likewise ticularly noticeable in restor They indicate clearly that the animal was capable of considerable speed, and thus must have been of great serv- ice as a protection from its enemies. —Rocky Mountain News.
