An Appeal for Assistance

New ORLEANS, February 10-The
Tines Democrat publishes the pro-
ceedings of the meeting held at Col
umbia, Caldwell parish, appealing
for assistance for the people of
Ouachita, Richland, Franklin, Cald-
well, Winn, Grant and portions of
Jackson and Concordia parishes, The
preamble to the resolution set forth
that the unprecedented drought of
last summer and fall caused afail
ure in the crops of corn, potatoes,
peas and even grass, and very short
crop of cotton has brought a state
of almost universal destitution and
want upon the community of Cald
well and adjoining parishes that
nineteen twantieths OF the people,
including both colors and all
classes have not grain of corn to
feed the starving teams, no bread,
no credit, DO where to GO and moth
ing to go with,-that the hogs have
been dying for two months because
OF the entire failure of the mast and
grain. Therefore,
Resolved, That common humanity
dictates that aid should be offered to
prevent the probable starvation of a
large part of the population of North
Louisiana, and we deem that the des-
titution Of a large portion of the
important class of our fellow>citi,
zens challenges the attention and
should command the aid the govern
ment to avert the imminent calamity.
The resolution further states
that large section OF the coun-
try ia suffering from the over
flow, and that the stock and people
are on the point of starvation.
The mes-Democrat says edito>
rally that this condition of affairs
was predicted in its columns some
months ago, when it was found that
the people of that section were sell>
ing off their stock and cattle at sac
rlhce, but thinks the situation is ex-
aggerated, and suggests that the peo
pie OF Louisiana should be called on
before appealing to others fof' assis-
tance. Governor McEnery has or,
dered an investigation.

The best way to make beef tea for
chlldr n is as follows: Soup meat with
out bone, from the shin or the neck. Cut
the meat into dice with very sharp
knife to every pound of meat use one
pint of cold water. Cut up le meat on
q dish, not on board, as the latter alb
serbs the juices wastefully. Have the
proper measure of water beside YOU, In
q proper soup basin or bowl, and as you
cut up the meat sprinkle it moderately
with salt and throw it into the cold
water. There let it remain for two hours;
then put all into saucepan and set il
on the fire. Watch carefully the rising.
and skim and secure this, it is the very
essence of the beef, being thrown out.
Put it in a clean bowl, and let the beef
go on boiling for ten minutes, no longer,
then pour it through sieve to the first
skimmings. Stir it before using. In
older children than infants you can fla
vor with onions and few cloves. So
completely does this way of making beef
tea extract the goodness, that a dog
would not eat the meat that is left.
A WRITER in the Scientific american
says: eve clean our premises of rats
by making whitewash yellow with cop
peras, and covering the stones and raft
ers in the cellar with it, In every crevice
in which rat may go, we put the crys-
tails Of the copperas and scatter in the
corners of the floor. The result was a
perfect stampede of rats and mice. Since
that time not football of either rats or
mice has been around the house. Every
spring coat of the yellow wash is given
the cellar as purifier, as a rat exter-
minator, and nc typhoid, dysentery, or
fever attacks the family. Many persons
deliberately attract all the rats in the
neighborhood by leaving fruits and veg
etables uncovered in the cellar, and some
times even tine soap is left open for their
regalement. Cover up everything in
the cellar aud pantry, and you will soon
starve them out. These precautions,
joined to the service Of good cat, Will
prove as good rat exterminator as the
chemist can provide. We never allow
rats to be poisoned in our dwelling they
are SO apt to be between the walls and
produce much annoyance. eTra

CONGRESSIONAL,
SENATE.

WASHINGTON, February 1O.-Sen-
ator Edmunds gave notice that the
Judiciary committee would on Tues-
day ask to have the bill regarding
polygamy considered, and he hoped
it would be disposed of on the fol
lowing day.
Senator Morrill, said until after the
pensions arrears resolution was acted
upon, he would antagonize all meas
ures with the tariff commission bill.
The remainder of the morning
hour until 1:30 o'clock was consumed
in considering without action sew
eral measures of strictly private in
terest, At l:30 pension arrears res
olution was again taken up and Sen
ator Maxey resumed his remarks in
support of the amendment, declaring
in favor of an enlargement of the
Mexican war pension list. He al
luded to the exceptional features Of
that war as one in which our volun-
teers carried q flag upon foreign soil
as one whose results in acquisition of
territory were of material benefit to
the country, and eulogized the SER
wees OF our little army in their sue
cessful campaigns.
Senator Beck said the principle
had been announced that arrears of
pensions should be given to pen
sioners of all our wars, irrespective
of their circumstances, and if this
was carried out it would bankrupt
the country. He would vote for q
properly guarded legislation to pen
sion the needy and deserving of our
veterans, but not those of them who
did not need this aid.
At 2:10 the resolution was laid
aside by general consent, and Sena-
tor Frye proceeded to address the
Senate upon the tariff, the Morrill,

A Thirsty Horse.

There is no accounting for tastes,
but why Bergman and Bergy's horse
should continue to go overheard on
every favorable opportunity can only
be accounted for on the supposi5ion
that he wants drink. His last ex-
plot consisted in npsetting the
wagon he was hitched to, over the
upper Astoria roadway, yesterday.
Having in some way freed himself from
the harness, he took drink and came
ashore.
