LITTLE KENTUCKY.
It May Some Day Be Claimed as a Fart of
Tennessee.
Little Kentucky, aa it might be dub
bed very appropriately, is located oppo
site Island No. 10, where Kentucky and
Tennessee meet. The river, by gradual-
ly cutting out the Kentucky bank, had
worn off a narrow strip of land, until
one bright morning several people who'
lived on this side of the line woke up
to find themselves on the other side, In
other words, jthe ! swift current had
washed away the neck of earth Which
made the extreme southwestern corner
. of this state a part of the commonwealth
of Kentucky. The section of territory
thus separated from its parent, as it
were, is ten, miles I long and five miles
wide quite a good mouthful to take in
at one bite, even for the greedy Misuis-
, sippi. . - I . .. : -'!! ' .
. Every well posted river man nd ev-
,ery person who is acquainted with, the
geography and topography of this state
will understand how such a thing could
happen. Right at the state line tst river
forma a loop about ten miles long.' The
loop extends up into Fulton : county, i
The swift stream has simply drawn this X
noose tight and .formed an island out of
what was formerly a peninsula. Hick
man is the closest town of i any size to
the place where all this landmaking oc
curred. Darnell, a little hamlet over in
Obion county, Tenn., is quite near the
Spot, ' '"'"-!
The boundary line between Kentucky
and Tennessee has always been rather
complicated down about Island No. JO,
owing to the peculiar bend in the Mis
sissippi mentioned above. The lakes,
bayous and J sloughs which bisect that
corner of Fulton county in all directions
also serve to mix matters. The biting
off of such a large strip of soil will add
to the general confusion, and the ques
tion may arise as to whether Little Ken
tucky will hereafter belong to the do
main ef the Volunteer State or still be
a part and . parcel of the dark: and
bloody ground. Paducah News.

HOMEMADE TRUNKS.
The Scheme of a Chleaco Man to Beat the

A caller dropped into the Brightside

side was busy boring holes with an au
ger in the end of - a good sized packing

ed him with - intense though possibly
hypocritical admiration. Near by stood
another packing box with four holes in
each end, through which loops of strong
rope had been eo : fastened i as to make
good, serviceable handles.
"This is about the greatest crisis of .

"It la such dainty work," she eaid.
"You know a lady can always give a toaoh
that is beyond even the best of servants, "
The speaker was evidently a lady, and
she looked a clever and capable woman as
well as she stood in the cleanest of clean
kitchens In a htiuse in Forty-eeoond street
yesterday afternoon, stirring in a bowl a
smooth, light colored mixture ef about the
consistency of cream. ; ; J i : ,
- "What do you suppose it is?" she asked.
"Taste it." .- j -. .- - - .
"Chicken," hesitatingly said the visitor
who had been addressed. i
"Yes, chicken puree." 1
It is one of the most dellolous prepara
tions for the sick that leave , that small
kitchen to go not only through all parts of
this country', but' abroad.;- The whole
work of preparing delioaoles for the siok is
one of the most successful and - womanly
ever undertaken by a woman and carried
through by her own unaided efforts. ItN
has stood the test of several -years now,
and it is increasing In value as it becomes
better known. . - - .
- There was nothing to Indicate the cook
in the woman who started the work as
she stood stirring the chicken puree yes
terday. She wore a tailor made, gown and
a hat to matoh. She did . not wear an
apron, and she did not need one, as she
turned the puree into a small jar without
spilling a drop. f
i " Yon know I don't do the cooking, " she
said. "I teach others to do that. But
there is not a part of it I: do not under
stand, and when there is a rush of work I
turn my hand at anything."
: She placed a rubber band on the top ot
the jar as she spoke, screwed on the cover,
: placed the jar in a : pasteboard box whioh
" just fitted it, wrapped the box deftly and
daintily in a dark blue paper, secured the
rtwo ends with sealing wax, -stamping one
with her own seal, all in less time than it
: takes to write it. i ,
- I "How did I think of doing this work?"
she went on. "It was through a severe
illness of my sister-in-law. The doctor
said recovery depended largely on her re
eeivlng the proper nourishment. There
Were plenty of servants in the house, be
sides the nurses, but my brother did not
dare to trust them to do the cooking, and
he was entirely at a loss,
f " 'You can trust me,' I said. 'Send
everything around to me, and I will do it.'
. 1 "Just out of ouriosity after that I looked
around to see if there was a plaoe in New
York where delicacies for the siok could be
purchased, and I found there was none. I
remarked several times that it would be
an excellent idea for Bomo one to start such
a business. I didn't think of doing it
myself. . - ! ;
1 "I suppose I have a natural talent for
cooking. When I was keeping house for
myself, I cared more about the table than
any other part of the house. It was my
hobby. I hated to have anything to do
about the scrubbing and cleaning, but I
jdld not see why the things on my table
should not be served as well as they were
at Delmonico's. :
"Then when I took up this work I ap
plied the knowledge of rlph foods to the
simple. There is almost nothing we do
not do, though the special things we send
out are jellies and broths, j
j We would not undertake a dinner, of
course, but I have broiled a small bird and
prepared sweetbreads. We have people
who come here for homemade bread, and
the funniest order I ever took was for a
ohioken bone for a baby. The baby'fi papa
came here and asked me very earnestly if
I would mind giving him a chlokenj bone,
with very little meat on it, for his j baby.

The Kindergarten Idea
One sees It In all the games introdaoed for
children, when even a small girl's paper
dolls must, perforce, be historical qneens

love; when tiny boys most play with

"make something," instead of the idle
fan of piling tip to merely throw over
again In a heap of rectangular bits of
wood. Instruction is sandwiched in be
tween the very thin layers of mere amuse
ment in juvenUe magazines and general
literature. Mental, moral and physical
improvement is so constantly thought of,
and the Old fashioned notion of sheer fun
is so slightingly regarded, that
forgiven for wondering what will be the
end of all this constant effort at. develop
ment Can it be for the best good of the
growing and naturally self conscious child
that.it should be incessantly under the
microscope or ins eiders f The child Is not
only the father of the man at present: he
is the first thought of the man; the ruler
and Instigator of much that he does. And

THfe CLUB CAR MAN THE ARISTOCRAT.

inized among suburban railway pis
ton gers. The club car roan ia the
aristocrat. A colored porter attends
to his wants and to those of his fel
low clubmen. A man "entering the'
railway station to take, the afternoon
train to his home - may appear like
other passengers and may bear the
full complement of bundles incident
to existenoe in the suburbs. -" As he
approaches the waiting train a sharp
eyed colored man, who is on the
lookout, sees him at a distance. He
Tushes up to-the traveler,' takes his
bundles obsequiously;' and, bowing
and scraping, ushers him into the
olub car. Here he is sure of finding
a seat, and he andhis. fellow aristov
crats thrpw off their coats, take
seats izt wioker chairs and lean baok
to smoke and read their papers or
take part in games of cards. , The
club oar man belongs to a social or
ganization governed like any'other
club, which hires a special car from
the company for the use of its memj
bers. ' The car is attached to a cer
tain morning and evening train, and
only the members are allowed to en
ter it. -v.i :-
' Next in social importance ajnong
the suburban passengers is the bus!-
ness man who has been a commuter
for many years and who has known
the conductor ever since he was a
brakeman. Ho is recognized as a man
of property" and is possibly a stock
holder in the road. - He bows even;
to the conductor with an air of con
descension and issues orders to the
brakeman as to the opening and
closing of windows and doors or the
raising and lowering of the lights.
He generally manages to secure a"
whole seat for himself 'unless some
friend enters the car with him.; :
, The smoking car commuter forma
another' class. He also is on familiar'
terms with the conductor, but in a
different way. He does not take
liberties with him, but greets him
each morning. With, the smoking
car brakeman. he is on .- the. -closest
terms of friendship! calling him by
his first name, and - inquiring as to
his health and that of all the other
employee in the suburban servioa
The smoking car commuter, is of
course an inveterate card playerfHe
is usually either , a clerk or young
business man, but sometimes elder
ly men are not graduated into the
aristocratio classes, but remain all
their lives frequenters of the smok
ing car and devotees of the card ta
ble on the trains.
What the club car man is ' to the
ordinary commuter, the commuter
is to the occasional passenger. . The
commuter, even if he has not had
long experience, enjoys the distinc
tion which a monthly tioket gives
to him over the bearer of a single
trip ticket. He presents his book or
commutation ticket with a careless
air, and the conductor, recognizing
his face, gives only a hasty glance
at his ticket. He remains engrossed
in his newspaper while the train
is passing through the open coun
try, yet views with resignation
the approaoh of the tunnel which
impels him to lay it down. He looks
with disfavor on the unaccustomed
traveler who raises a window on the
dustiest day and who" takes an in
terest intlto scenery along the route.
The occasional passenger just the
holder of an ordinary trip tioket is
so far down in the sociascale in the
crowded morning and afternoon
trains ; that he sometimes wonders
that he is allowed to exist at all. He
looks about ith distrust, and if he
has a seat beside acommuter he
hurriedly produces his ticket as the
conductor approaches and conceals
it in his hand in a shamefaced, way
nntil he can pass it to the conductor.
If he is" a sensitive man, he is afraid
to touch the window until he finds
whether the commuters raise the
other windows or allow them to rs
main closed. If the window beside
him is open, he may wonder at one
part of the route to see other pas
sengers closing the windows, and it
is not until he enters the tunnel that
he realizes that he has shown his ig
norance by failing to recognize the
scenery ; near the entrance to the '
tunnel, which has warned the com
muters that the outside air must be
excluded. This and a few other ex-1
hibitions of his lack of familiarity
with travel pn the road put him in
aoondition of prope humility, and
he is ready before the, end of his
short journey to recognize his true
position among eabnrban travelers.
