Warm weather and Eeatsh
Topics.

The heat of the weather for the last
week or ten days has been intense. A
scorching sun untempered by clouds,
an atmosphere choked by dust, the
breeze coming to lis like a sirocco,
cistcrns dry, and gardens baked, alto
gether make up an uncomfortable state
Of affairs.
But we have no reason to complain,
for the health of the town and country
is excellent, and though the sun IS hot
enough to broil a beef steak, we have
not heard of single case OF slns1oke.
Opelousas still keeps up her excellent
reputation of being the healthiest town
in Louisiana. From her situation she
is free from all the malarial influences
which affect other Southern towns
thoroughly drained, freshened by sea
breezes, clean and we'll shaded by trees,
We enjoy here almost total immunity
from epidemics and other diseases pro-
duced by foul air and neglect OF sanitary
precautions. There is a great deal that
might be amended in our little town.
We would like to see it more progress
| sive in it's tendencies, more energy and
public spirit in it's Improvements, but
take it all in all, its perfect healtiltul-
ness outweighs other considerations
particularly in midsummer.
From under the shade OF our own
vines and fig trees, we hear of malarlouF
| diseases. from which we are exempt
ravaging in other parts OF the State
We hear whispers of epidenics, which
by proper precautions, we have always
kept at respectful distance. We kno"
that whether the germ theory is true OF
not. we have no lurking seeds OF pestl'
lence in our atmosphere ready to start
into destructive life at the first touch ol
exciting causes. Knowing these things
we are quite willing to believe thai
Onelousas is the most desirable town
for residence in Louisiana, and Whel
the railroad is in operation strangers
will endorse our belief.
The country needs only to be seer
to attract tide of emigration. IN
acclimated people will be as safe here
as in their own States, and though thu
heat of midsummer is sufficiently great
it is unaccompanied with the pernlclou:
effects which attend it in other localities
Altogether we are very proud OF ou1
town and parish, and we challenge any
other part of the country to produce
more favorable health statistics, and ;
greater degree of longevity than il
found in our midst.

A RATTLEsNAKE's CONTEMPT FOR
PRUssIC ACID.-On Tuesday last a col
ored man went rushing into Scott's
store, stating that he had ''treed rattle
snake in a gopher hole" This was fun
for the bows. In few minutes a party,
headed by Prof. J. Wayne Scott, was
ready to !" go for that snake.' On ar
irving at the place, sure enough, his
snakestip was found quietly sleeping
on the back of the gopher. DR.. Scott
fastened two strong trout hooks to the
end of a " sufficiently long pole" and
hooking the reptile, held him firmly till
he could be dug out Cotton saturated
with chloroform was then held to his
mouth until he was insible. He was
then taken up to the store, restoratives
applied, and soon he was in fighting
trim. His mouth was then forced open
and an ounce Of hydrocyanie acid forced
down his throat. Instead of being in
stantly killed, as all expected, the mon
ster did not seem to mind the dose at
all, but sprang from the box he had
been placed in and was ready for fight.
DR.. Scott then, drawing his pistol, shot
him dead. One drop of prussie acid
placed ON the tongue OF dog, it is said,
will produce instant death. In this
case an ounce had no effect on the snake.
1t is an interesting subject for medical
investigation.-[Quincy (Fla.) Star.

NARNIsnING CHICkEN-LEGs.-Being
constantly brought in contact not only
with poultry, but also with the poultry
buyers, Chapcllier, the ragman, noticed
q singular feature iD the trade-that in
cases where the latter did not sell the
birds straight of, they were always
obliged to reduce their price quarter
or perhaps a third for every day that
they were unsold, though they might
appear perfectly fresh to the uninitiated.
But the cooks and restaurant keepers
were not to be taken i'll 10y appearances,
and Chapellier found out that an unfail-
ing symptom Offreshness, or rather want
of it, lay Ill the appearance OF the feet,
which were black and brilliant at the
time of killing, but acquired a gray tinge
more and more pronounced rs time went
on. Turkeys feet showed this peculiar
ity the most, and it set ChapelIier think
ing, the result OF his cogitaticn being
that he invented paste which, when
rubbed OH the legs, brought back the
original black gloss, and completely
erased the tell-tale date OF death. Hav-
ing tried it with success, he went the
rounds Of the poultereIs, who willingly
promised him small royalty for initia-
ting them also, and he was shrewd
enough to keep his own secret, he soon
found that the profession of ''painter
of poultry legs apart from its question
able morale, was exceedingly lucrative.
Chapellier was ambitious, and finding
that the work increased \beyond his
powers of personally supervising it he
sold his secret to friend for 1000 francs
and with this little capital he set Oft
to find pastures new. (It may be men
toned that his successor retired after
many years practice, with good for
tune, which does not say very much for
the freshness Of defnnct Paris poultry,

of the latter. Wash Hamilton had an
