20. Drink should never be taken on

cannot fail to prove exceedingly hurt

says, in the second aphorism, 81, if q
hungry person drink wine before he eat,
he will speedily be attacked by spasms
and delirious symptoms. Nor should
wine be taker. (habitually) after meals,
because it lnnaturally accelerates the
digestion, propels the food before it is
properly digested, and lays the founda-
ton of distractions and putridity.
81. Wine should never be taken inn
moderately; and it would be advisable,
as much as possible, to abstain from its
use, because it affects the brain; hence,
no person of weak organization should
venture to drink it, unless in small
quantities or diluted. Serspian remarks,
"Wine fills the head with many vapors. !"

Somnamburism In Dogs.

There is something peculiar about
somnambulism when considered from
scientific and philosophical standpoint.
The sleep walker, it will be found, still
retains dim idea, even while he il
asleep, of the condition Of affairs when
he went to sleep. For instance, if he
leaves his clothes In a certain part of
the room on retiring, he knows when he
rises just where to find them, even in
the dark. This is question which
opens up wonderful field for physio-
logical and mental research.
When young and giddy we became
somnambulist, and excited great deal
of curiosity by our strange freaks dur
ing sleep, and this one question of the
slumbering mind and its memory of
facts existing prior to sleep was the
most remarkable thing about it all to
us. We puzzled over that good deal.
At night we would retire to rest, and
the next thing we would know we would
wake up in the middle of contiguous
melon patch, and there would be two or
three other somnambulists there in the
same patch, and as much surprised as we
were. Still there is the same truth star
ing us in the face. Every somnambu-
list there had through his sleep re-
tanned In his semi-conscious state per-
feet recollection of where every article
of his clothing was and how to get out
of the upstairs window without waking
the old people.
By-and-by the owner of the melon
patch procured, at a great expense. a
large humorous bulldog who was also
o somnambulist He walked in his
sleep good deal. That is why we
quit. We didn't propose to descend to
the level of the brute creation. We
Just said, if bulldog wants to somnam,
he can do so and we will leave the field
to him.
We made this resolution one night
just AFTER we had plugged q watermelon.
While stopping Oser in the act, we felt
q pang of conscience and heard our sus-
penders break.
Perhaps the casual reader has never
sat down on buzz saw and felt himself
gradually fading away. If so he does
not know what it is to form the acquaint-
ance of a somnambulist bulldog in the
prime of life.
After that somnambulism didn't have
such o run in our family for while.
We never slept 30 sound that we didn't
remember places and objects that had
made an impression ON us prior to slum-
Der, and that is why we say that there
is something in this matter that scien-
fists would do well to look into
Bill Nye.

HYGIENIC.
Rules of Health That Have withstood the
Test Of Time.

Test or Time.
The following rules were originally
in Latin and published in Europe in
l64S. 1t is somewhat remarkable, per-
haps, that in all ages, beginning as
early as Democritus, and extending
down to the present hour, all thoughtful
physicians and other acute observers
have enunciated these same laws OF
health One thinks in reading the
writing of Hypocrates, written more
than 1000 years ago, that he is resding
the exhortations of one of the modern
troublesome health reformers.
1. The stomach ought never to be
overloaded with food, otherwise the
body will be rendered unfit for exertlon
,. Moderation in exercise, food, drink,
sleep and venery.
3. No fresh food should be taken,
unless the preceding meal has been
properly digested.
4. The meals should not be uniform
but supper always lighter than dinner.
). Excess in former meals must be
corrected by a subsequent abstinence. !.
6. All food should be duly masticated
before it be swallowed.
7. The quantity of drinks should al
WAYS be proportionated to that of solid
food.
8. No drink should be taken until q
due proportion of solid food has been
swallowed.
30. 4 variety of dishes ought not to
be eaten at the same time.
10. 1t will be advisable to refrain
from meal (dinner) once week, par
ticularly when the body appears to re-
quire less food.
IL. Bodily exercise should be so man
aged once a day as to excite the natural
heat glow. and before meal. The
advantage resulting from such prac-
tice are thus described by Fulgentius:
Exercise, saws he, contributes to the
preservation of human life. 1t dissi-

thoric habit; it invigorates our faculties

FIRST NEW BALE.

The first new bale of cotton
(weighing $50 pounds) from St.
Tanmany Parish, was brought to
Covington on last Monday. 1t was
raised by MIR. Ben Williams and
purchased by J. E. Smith. of this
place. at Ill cents. with the addi-
ton of half barrel of fine flour as a
premium. Mr.. Williams under
stands raising the feecv staple
thoroughly, as he has taken the pre-
MUM for the past two seasons for
early cotton. 1t will be remember
ed that he brought in the first baie
last year on the goth of Aug ust-
one day earlier than this year. The
new bale of this year was ginned by
Henry Dutch, and will rate about
middling. 1t was shipped by the
Schooner Pippo OH Tuesday to New
Orleans. and consigned to the cot
ton house of John Chaffe s. Co.
st. Tammany is up with any Parish
in the State for early cotton.

with capacity of 1000 gallons each

capacity of 800 feet to 1000 feet per
day. according to size. Four pot
ters' wheels. This establishment
was begun about eight years ago,
and the capital invested was the
immense sum of $3.50. In that time
it was increased, as we have previ-
ously stated, to $4,000 or more"
An establishment like the above
would prove a paying investment in
st. Tammany parish. Fne potter's
clay abounds in this parish, free
from sard or grit, and with our
proximity to New Orleans, and
cheap transportation. we have no
doubt success awaits the person
who will undertake the enterprise.

RESULTOF THE CONVENTION

Long before these lines reach the
eyes of our readers, the result OF
the Congressional District Conven-
ton at Baton Rouge will be known
TO the people of the State. That
our candidate, Hon. e. ". Robert
son, has been defeated for renomin-
alton for that high position is a Sc
we're blow to his many friends
throughout the State. Not that we
complain of the result, but of the
manner in which it was done. A
tWo-tlird rule was never enforced
IN Democratic Conventions before
in This State, and it was only done
on this occasion because they could
not defeat our candidate in any
other way He vas the real choice
of the Convention over all CON-
petitors, and would have been
chosen at an early hour of the pro-
ceedings, but bar had beel placed
in his way by skillfully manipu-
lated two-thirds rule-a rule never
heard of before until the wire-pull-
ers put it into requisition and used
it effectively. Let those who used
it rejoice, for they succeeded in de-
feating the will of the voters of the
Sixth Congressional District. What
the final result will be no man can
correctly say.
The nomination of Gen. Andrew
S. Heron astonished every one, his
name having been taken I'D as a
compromise man to suit the two
thirds men, and with his name they
won the fight. The manner in
which this was done pleases nobody,
but it is done, and there the matter
must end. GrumbliLg over it now
will do no good, and may work
mischief to the party in the Dis
trlct IN the future. Let us profit
by experience hereafter.
1t only remains for the Democ-
racy of the District to close ranks |
and fight as hard for the success of |
Heron as they would have fought |
for Robertson. If we can not get |
what we want, let us take the near-
est and dearest thing to it, and that
is the success of the Democratic
party under all circumstances

Stone, of East Feliciana, and Hon.

took place in convention, was one
of the richest thin IS We have ever

for more than half al hour. They
told hard things on each other;
both took it good natu.edly, and
everybody enjoyed it. Col. Stone
bore off the laurels and proved him
self veritable General in a skin
mish fight. He utterly demolished
his opponent every time he pre-
sented himself. In other words,
Lea was knocked down. thirty-nine
times III as many two second rounds,
