THE CROPS.

Last week allowed only one day for
cotton picking in Red River.
The loss to the cotton on Big Bend,
Bayou DIES Glaizes, is one-fourth of the
crop.
The Lincoln Sentinel thinks the dam.
age done by the worms greatly exag.
gerated.
Crop prospects in Ascension continue
promising.
Cane in Avoyelles is doing we'll and
promises a good yield. A great many
cotton planters will go into cane next
year.
Complaints are being made every
where of illegal traffic in cotton seed.
The authorities and planters insist that
they will put it down.
Worms, rust and rain are running the
cotton in Claiborne. The unusually
large provision crop Of this year will
more than balance this loss.
In Catahoula the young cotton will be
greatly damaged by the worms. Cotton
planted in March will not be injured to
any extent by this crop of worms.
The caterpillars are through with
their work Of destruction in Rapides
and have emigrated. The few, the very
few planters who used the poisons with
discretion and common sense have sue
ceeded in saving their cotton. The cot
ton crop of the parish can't average
over half o1e.1 Alexandria Democrat.
The caterpillars have made sad havoc
with cotton ON Bayou Poydras, and in
fact with nearly all the cotton in the
upper part of the parish. In the upper
brulee they have done some damage,
but at present are webbed up for a
rest. On resuming operations they will
ego for" the young cotton without
doubt. = West Baton Rouge Sugar

GRAIN YIELD IN TEXAS.

A special telegram to the Galveston
Neacs from Dallas, under date OF the
goth ult., gave summarized acreage
from some eighteen counties through
out the grain growing region Of Texas,
together with carefully Appropriated
yield per acre Of three leading cereals
The product of this estimate shows that
the eighteen counties have this year
produced 1927, 500 bushels of wheat,
b5shss Of 9u9 bapsv OF 1at this sna
Red River, johnson, Kaufman, Navar-
no, and several other largely grain grow
ing counties, are omitted, the yield in
which localities, the Neacs believes, will
raise the totals above given at least one
fifth. These returns are considerably
in excess of the product Of 1876.

THE ART OF PROPOSING.


How Amy Young Man Can secure Wife.
Young man you can secure any
woman you want II you will exercise
care as to the time and place, with some
little regard as to the manner. Never
propose to young lady after hearty
meal. The blood Is then needed to aid
her digestion, and her imagination Is
chilled. Nor should 1t come just be-
fore meal, for the longings OF the i'm
Fortunate system conduce to anxiety
and irritability. and the shock may
select the evening, and generally after
you have taken her to some entertain
ment. Her nerves are then apt to be
stronger, and her mind may have
already dwelt upon the possibilities un-
til she is perfectly prepared for the re-
atty. Never forget yourself so far as to
propose on returning from a theatre.
She will have the style and air OF some
actor before her mental vision, and you
can't compare with the romance she
throws over him. The best way Is to in
vite her to some entertainment which
you know she wants to attend, and then
propose to her just as she Is ready to
start. This will be greatly to your adj
vantage, for she will easily see thata re-
lection will upset an EVENINGS enter

In the spring of the year you must re-
member that her system is undergoing
a change, and there must be a change

| ton. Never risk proposal in the
house at this season. Take her out for
a drive over the worst possible road
available. When at distance from
home convenient for your purpose tell
her frankly that she must consent or
walk back. Nine times out of ten she
will prefer the ride.
The summer possesses claims over
other seasons, ii natural advantages
are judiciously applied. Strolls in the
losing ones way in a blackberry patch
will bring reasonable women to terms.
Never go fishing with view to propos-
ing. You can'tavoid smelling of bait, a
perfume inconsistent with ove-making.
In the fall of the year you should
avoid the woods, for they are apt to be
damp. Seek the object at her home,
and, after reading to her for few
hours of which you are the
author will be preferred-just tell her
frankly what you came for, admonish-
ing her that you propose taking your
wife to the National Capital during the
winter.
During the winter months it would be
also wise to avoid the woods, and, as
a general thing, the house might be
considered the proper place for your
overtures.
Never propose the day or evening you
take supper at the house, for there is
nothing that so impairs young lady's
affection for man as to hear him eat.

OF spirit cannot be manifested. It IL
we'll for man to linger with painful at.
tention to details upon his unworthi4
ness. He must speak of his "frolics

added a parenthetic desire to feed upon
the damask of her cheek. A hint as to

been found very efficacious, and o sug-

COOP SENsE.-We cordially commend the
following sentiments of Stanley Matthews
the newly elected United States Senator
from Ohio "There is no reason, as has
already been said, why we should any longer
be divided in this country by sectional lines
All the causes which once created sections
have disappeared. The men of the North
and the South can come together-I believe
they will come together. The ranks will
open, new lines of division will appear, and
parties instead of being arrayed against
each other face to face in battle array upon
the two sides of the line which separates the
North from the South, will divide by lines
perpendicular to them, running into every
state, penetrating every neighborhood, and
on both sides will be found white aud black,
dividing not on questions which are vital to
the existence of society, and the decision of
which one way or the other involves neces-
sarily violence and war, but on questions of
administration and policy, about which we
may differ and still be friends. | believe
that that is the policy of the President"
