j ME STATE OF LorTsL8oA.
Louisiana il one Of the mosbinter-
testing States IN the Union, not only
| on account Of the romantic incidents
Of its early history, but for the Pecu-
liar features of the landscape and
its unique social character and life.
! It has very mild winters, and Of its
/ products the orange, lemon, lime and
other tropical fruits grow in profIi-
sion. The best soil is on the river
bottoms, which are exuberantly fer
tile, and productive in sugar cane
and rice. Cotton and sugar cane
are the great products Of this State.
Calcasieu parish, l.eiBg one Of the
! frontier parishes OF tie State, is
much the largest in Louisiana, con-
tanning about five thousand square
miles. The Sabine river divides il
from Texas Oh the west, the Me1nen-
tan separates It from tie parishes Of
ST. Landry and TcrmiIion on the
east, and the Calcasieu river flows
midway between the Sabine and
Mermentau, all three emptyiHg into
the Gulf of Mexico Numerous
large creeks and bayous branch off
from the right and left of each of
these three broad rivers, and water
every section Of the parish.
PARISH OF cALoAsIEU.
Calcasieu parish undoubtedly is
destined to become, in all respects,
one Of the best parishes in the State.
Hundreds and thousands of new set
tiers TO our State will single Der cut !

running through the immediate center
Of the parish, and with the water

iseallhfulness Of lemons. The latesl
advice as 10 how to Iise them SO they
will do the most good runs as fellows :
Most people know the benefit Of lem
onatic before breakfast. but Tow know
how it is more than donl,led by taking
another al night, also. The way to get
the better of a bilious system without
blue pills Or quhiiae. is to take the
Juice Of one, two or three lemons, al
the apostle crases, in as much ice
water as makes it pleasant 70 dfiuk,
without going to bed. In the mor-
ing on rising, or ut least half an hoaF
before breakfast, take the juice 81 oas
lemon in goblet OF water THIS will
clear the system of humors and bile,
With mild efficacy, without any OF TIC
weakening effects of calomel or con.
gress water. People should not irfi
tate the stomach lis eating lemons
clear the powerful acid Of the iiiice,
which Is almost corrosive, iafallibly
produces Inflammation after 4 while,
but properly diluted, SO that it does
not burn or draw the throat, it does its I
full medicinal work without haru, and
when the stomach is clear Of food las

system thoroughly.

The Calcasieu, which is one of the
finest rivers in the State, mingles its
waters at the western rim of the
Lake, snatches one sweet kiss upon
its southern lips and then passes of
in southwestern direction to the

the citizens of the town of Lake
Charles appreciate the beauties OF
our hike on a calm spring morning
at early dawn. There is d charm ii
standing at the foot of one of orr
wharyes and contemplating the
placed sheet Of water before us.
There we find Nature in her beauty
and grandeur. Occasionally a fish
breaks the calm surface by leaping
above it. We stand and watch the
little craft around and opposite us
a football breaks the charm. Here
comes the fisherman with his rod and
line, in pursuit of pleasure and
breakfast. We cast oar eyes up and
down the calm sheet of water. and
note the parti-colored lights still
burning on the small vessels that
ply between this and various other
ports. And now along the lake and
down TO the rivers turn. we discover
the smoke, Issuing from the chimneys
Of the different mills, indicating the
approach of labor. The business Of
the day has commenced, and we
awaken to the reality that we are ii
