In this country we are all kings,
and we are all entitled to have as
good blood as that which courses
through the veins Of emperors.
There are princes and million
aires, languishing in feebleness and
broken.down bodily health, who
would be glad to have the strength
Of the humblest laboring man.
And there are many people who
are neither kings, emperors, nor
millionaires, whose blood is thin,
whose circulation is poor, who are
suffering from lassitude and debil-
ity, and who know not the pleasure
Of a hearty meal nor the enjoy
ment Of being able to do a good
days work.
lfsuch people will put some iron
into their blood, they will vitilize
and enrich it. They can do this by
the use of Browns Iron Bitters,
the purest and most excellent iron
medicine ever made. Thousands
who were weak, languid, pale, and
Frustrated, are now happy to say
that Browns Iron Bitters brought
them up and gave them new life. S

HOwling Dogs.

Many wearied and wakeful persons
find in the bowling of dogs by night a
persistent, widespread and most an
noying form of irritation. The owners
of dogs given to spend the hours of
darkness in assiduous bowling appear
generally to regard with serene per-
sonal imperturbability the noisy nui-
sance which makes night hideous for
their neighbors. Nevertheless, those
who keep dogs, especially those who do
so in populous places, ought to feel
bound to take simple precautions which
alone are necessary TO prevent a trou-
blesome form Of vexation, which is
really serious source of inconvenience
and loss of rest, and probably loss of
health, to very many people, To the
honest bark of watch dog giving
warning tongue upon suitable occasion
no one would object, but the purpose
less and unending howlings Of the
chained ours which are especially prev
alent in suburbs of towns is an intoler-
able nuisance. 1t is not necessary to
extermnate dogs to put an end to the
annoyance in question. The nuisance
is perfectly preventable by the adop-
ton of a few simple and sensible meas
ures which, SO far from injuring the Of
Tending animals, tends to give them
length of days by conducting to their
contentment. Those who have had ex-
perience in keeping dogs know that
these animals will not howl if they be
comfortable. If dogs, instead OF being
cruelty chained up out of doors, in ken
nels which are often draughty and
damp, be allowed to have their liberty
by day, and to lie in the house at night
they will generally sleep through the
night in perfect quietness. Or, II it be
necessary to be chained by day, he
ought to be let loose at night, when it
win be found that he will retire quietly
to his kennel and abstain from bowling
especially if he be furnished with some
fresh hay or clean mat for bed. In
warm weather dogs often howl simply
because they want water. Many dogs
howl at night simply because they are
kept constantly chained by day and by
night. This is common and most re-
prehensible form Of cruelty; dogs so
treated are sure to be restless and irri-
table, and can scarcely be healthy

German Peasants.

In his book on "TheWorking Glasses
Of Europe" M. Rene Lavollee pays
special attention to the German work
ing classes, which, no doubt, are re-
garded in France with grim kind of
interest, like everything'else from outre
Rim. Germany, in the authors esti-

civilization, and is worthy of an ideal
crown for the brow of its thinkers,
poets, scholars, and musicians, whose
splendid train is the envy of many a
nation. To this ideal crown, however,
Germany prefers that of iron, and this

attained to its present place at the
head of Europe. millions of soldiers"

time. laborers, workmen, and trades
men. In order to get clear insight
into the economic and moral condition
of these masses, who with their life

of their country, the author has COM
piled q large store of information,
which may be summed up in the
following extract: SIN the south as

How to Keep Healthy.

How do you manage to keep
tealthy?" Disraeli was asked by dys-
peptic fop, by dining off a sardine, "
was the answer, and there was some
truth in this. To the end Of his life,
says writer in Temple Bar, Disraeli
always ate very sparingly when alone,
and this enabled him to keep good
appetite for public occasions, thereby
rebutting the presumption, which his
pale face suggested, that he was con-
sumptive.- In this connection some re-
marks of his about wine may be men
toned. Hard drinking was in fashion
during his youth, and at public dinners
men who let the bottle pass were hard
ly regarded as gentlemen. Disrael,
who could never stand much wine, suff-
cred good deal from this social usage,
and he set himself to study the de-
meanor of men who could drink deep
without being any the worse for it.
Lord Melbourne was one of these, and
he gave Disraeli wrinkle by saving
You can drink if you don't talk; if
you talk much you needn't drink, for
let you alone Iii obvious that the
excitement of conversation must CO.
operate powerfully with the fumes of
wine in making the brain reel. Dis
raeli, having noted this fact, went
further into the subject by observing
that mans convivial propensities are
always taken for granted if he talks in
praise of wine, and appears to be very
critical about it. Some of his remarks
savoring of the most refined epicurean-
ism may, therefore, be ascribed solely
to his temperate desire to find excuses
for not drinking. He was not Judge
of wines, though he pretended to be,
and once allowed himself to lay down
the law about Burgundy against the
late Lord Seton. A droll trait in him
was that he spoke enthusiastically
about certain choice wines, but never
decried any sort of liquor, not even
gin. A reason he once gave for ''say-
ing something kind about brandy in
the presence Of person addicted to
spirits would have had a Mephistoph-
clean ring in it if the subject OF the OBJ
servation had not been, humanely
speaking, irreclaimable: Il could not
speak i'll of his only friend Il should

opinion that the peculiar color of the

and very plausible theory is derived
from the well known fact that during
the past year fishermen have reported
remarkable decrease in the catch Of

and that the energetic proprietor will
begin regular operations next week.
The mill is erected upon one Of the
most convenient sites on the river,
and has capacity of $4,000 feet Of

admirably constructed and is suscep-
tibIe of being handled at as little ex-

country.

been agreed npon, aud affairs settled

and will resume operations at once.
As to the terms of settlement, We are
not Informed, but feel assured every
cent possible has been realized by the

tact and untiring energy, DR.. Moss is
certain to succeed in the conduct of
the milling business, as he has thus

the parish Jail the night previous,
caused mich speculation and nnfaror-

the same has been guarded. The
prisoners were confined in the lower
part. or dungeon as it is called, and
made their exit from the rear of the
building. They discovered rotten
spot in the logs, and with nothing to
work with save their hands, effected
an opening large enough to force
themselves through. Up to the hour
OF our going to press nothing of
reliable nature has been learned of
them. Martin is a young white man,
scarcely out of his teens, and had
been sentenced to the peniteutiary for
twenty-five years, for an attempt to
murder his father. Woods is a colorcd
man, not over twenty-five years of
age, and was under life sentence for.

Editors Lake Charles Echo;


The delay Of nay communication
must be accounted for by my illness,
not from lack of zeal.
One fact stares us in the face--our
children must be educated. To do
this, we must have school houses and
teachers, Throughout the country we
can supply the first by labor, but the
second requires money. Nothing can
be done without that on this mundane
sphere; even the gospel falls incfcc-
tnslIy without it. We must therefore
raise funds in sufficient amount TO
answer the purpose, and at the same
time not allow it to fall upon us too
heavily individually. This can be done
only by taxation. Let us calculate.
The taxable wealth of the parish is, in
round numbers, 81, 1913, 900; the tax
payers are in number about 5000; the
youth of the proper scholastic age
amount to 300. Now, to educate
these children, We receive from the
state about $4,000, which answers the
purpose nearly as well as one man
