West lSatOn Rouge.

II is with deep satisfaction that We
find il opportuno to speak of the condI-
ton of our sister parish across the Mis-
sissippi. For several years after the
close of the war, many Of her fertile
fields grew nauglt but wild weeds.
Little by little The hand of industry
was applied, and year after year the
sugar cane reared its tall and green
stalks where the waste had existed.
Last year West Baton Rouge produced
in sugar alone some 5000 hogsllcads.
This season there will be IN Increase of
at least 1000, making Il total of $4,000
hogshca,ls, which, with the molasscs,
will bring something like one and a-halt
millions Of dollars.
Talk of the bonanzas of Colorado and
California; but where are tho counties
in those States that will come ,,p to
that Still, there are thousands OF
acres Of lncultivatcl lands belonging
principally to the Citizens Bank, that
could add their thousands of hogshcads
more, were they put in cultivation.
West Baton Rouge is inhabited by IN
industrious and hospitablc population.
Nowhere in the United States can II
lovclicr Edoradc be found than among
the good people of our sister parish.

The Romance OF Flynn's Career.

FLYNN carried rifle for the Union,
and when the war ended he still carried
it, and to such purpose that his body
was scanned with scars. His blood had
wet the soil of six States and splintered
bones had been left on as many more.
He had come to this country when there
was nothing for a poor man to do but
fight, and Flynn had the pluck of the
ould sod in his soul, and when that
is to be done the sons of Erin never do it
by halves.
Broken in health, without money, for
he had sent his pay home, without
friends and unable to work, Flynn went
to the s. Home,'' at Hampton, where he
stayed for while, until he was patched
up. But that life did not suit him and
he obtained leave of absence to come
to Washington. He had his pension, SO
a month; he was young and ambitious,
besides there was little girl over the
sea waiting for him-waiting as true and
loyal for him as though he were an En-
peror. He made himself useful at ho-
tel where he attracted the attention of
man of influence, who obtained for him
a messengers position in one of the De-
partments.
He took some of that money and went
to night schools. Obliging and atten-
tive he made friends, and after time
was designated for clerkship, and,
thanks to his application and persever-
ance in studying, he passed the examin-
alton and received the appointment to
a first-class clerkship, with a salary of
1920 per annum. Last summer
missed Flynn from his accustomed
haunts, and had come to the conclusion
that just as good fortune had found him
he had gone the way of all earth, when
one bright afternoon last week l met
him on the avenue with a beautiful
woman on his arm; he was as happy
and proud as field marshal.
He had been to Ireland, and in dear
old Roscommon, in the same church
where they had both been christened
when babies, the same priest made them
man and wife. What content shone in
the violet eyes of the pretty bride as she
leaned on the arm of her hero. 'sThey
made SO much of jimmy she said;
ssfor he's coming back for me. The
whole parish came to the wedding and
danced till sunrise'' The spring time
of their love-life has reached its sum-
mer. and, tried in the furnace of delays,
their future is bright with the promise
of happiness when the autumn and win
ter come. With such woman to COM
plement him, there is something more
for Flynn than a Washing
ton Cor. Detroit Free Press.

The Skin.

THE skin is wonderful beyond concep-
ton in the multiplicity of its part, and
in it's diverse offices and relations. Mill
lions of nerves connect it with the brain.
Thousands of arteries bring to it nour-
ishment, and almost as many veins bear
away the waste. Millions of ducts mpty
out the perspiration upon it. Innumer-
able glands anoint it with a lubricating
oil, and countless little scales are con-
stantly thrown from its surface. So
intimate and powerful is its connection
with the nervous centers, that one kind
of emotions instantly blanches it and
another kind mantles it with a burning
blush-the first contracting its vessels,
the other dilating them. The skin has
its peculiar diseases, but manv of its
ailments come from its readiness to help
other organs which are diseased or tor
pid, for it exceeds all others in this "vi-
carious power. The skin is double.
The outer epidermis - protects the
nerves and vessels of the inner from rude
contact with, and from the absorption
of, poisonous or harmful substances.
TO vaccinate, we have to break through
the epidermis. So, too, when this is
sound, it is safe to handle morbid mat
ter; but to do so with the slightest
scratch or chafe is sometimes to incur
death in its most frightful form. Warmth
applied to the surface dilates the blood
vessels of the skin, and cold contracts
them. Hence, warm bath soothes and
refreshes, by drawing the blood to the
surface; local lamentations over an in
famed spot will relieve the pain by
drawing away the blood. A counter
irritant acts on essentially the same
principle. Cold applied to the surface
for brief time contracts the vessels and
crowds the blood back, which then re-
turns with accumulated force, producing
healthful glow. If the vitality is low,
this reaction does not take place, and
the cold only harms. Generally only
the purest soap (castile) should be used
in washing the hands, as the alkali of
most soaps tends to destroy the cpl
dermis. No bathing of the whole body
should be protracted beyond few min
utes, else the good effect of it is lost,
even if serious harm is not done. Sea-
bathing is additionally beneficial from
the stimulating effect of its Salts
Youths Companion.

with a sigh of relief. But Beunie had,
thought OF something else.
I'm going to send letter in boat

pinned on another ragged slip.
:. Deer MANA We air up heRe TangILd in

This he fastened to piece of birch
bark, and launched it down the little
tumbling stream, which carried it
swiftly out of sight. ~

said, sitting down in perfect faith TO

Their mamma baked her bread that
morning, and then she baked pies and
made, cookies and got her dinner over
before she had time 10 think much about
the children. Then she stepped to the
door to see how they were getting
along, and called them, but there was
no answer.
The wind blew in her face and the
white kitten rubbed against her feet.
"Where are the children, kitty"
she asked, looking down, and then she
spied the note tied around the white
furry neck. She took it off and read
the blurred words:
"Deer Mama, We air up heRe Tangild In a
BRiRE Bush. CuM?"
She caught her sun-bonnet off the
nail and started, but hardly knew which
way to go. They were up the hill, of
course, but she might miss them. As
she stood irresolute, right in sight down
the brook came the little birch-bark
raft, with piece of paper pinned to it
which was too wet to read, but it told
her all she wanted to know, for now IL
was plain that they had gone along by
the brook. -
So she started swiftly up the hill,
pushing the bushes aside. with the little
white kitten running before her, and as
it was not nearly mile nor even a
quarter, that the little ones had gone,
she soon reached the spot where Susie
stood YEARLY in the grasp of the brier
bush, and Ben sat patiently waiting at
her side.
Was there ever a tangle that mann
ma could not set right? Gently and
skillfully she freed first the curls, and
then the little dress, and then with her
light-hearted girl and boy followed the
stream back again, just in time to meet
papa as he came to dinner.-.Nary Il.

several new atrocities are being perpe-

there is an evident desire for architec-

Fifty-seventh Street is a remarkable in

tectural style of the houses in that street
can not fail to attract the attention OF the

announcement that o satisfactory agree

what appears to DO perfectly good au.
thority, that the features OF this agree

Utes will be removed to the Uintah
reservation In Utah. The Uncomphaeres
will DO settled on Grand river, q short
distance outside Of the Colorado border,
and the Southern will be given land In

quish. No doubt 10 entertained OF the
ratification OF this arrangement by Con.
