AN EXCELLENT PAPER.--It seems
almost unnecessary for as to call
attention to a paper 80 well and
favorably known as the "Youth's
Companion of Boston. 1t has been
for fifty-eight years a weekly visitor,
and each year has shown more
clealy it's wonderful usefulness to
the class of readers for whom it is
prepared.
It would be interesting to trace
its influence 10 the case of two fam
lilies, one of which began, we will
suppose, twenty years ago, to pro-
vide it for their children to read,
while the other furnished the more
sensational publications. The con-
trast would no doubt be striking
one.
Parents can give their children
few things of more value and impor'
lance in their growth of mind aud OF
character than wide awake, intel
ligeDt, wholesome paper into whose
management the publishers put
conscience and moral purpose as
we'll as money and ability.

IRON IN NORTH LOUISTANA-THE
WATER SUPPLY, ETC.

From Shreveport Tines
Prof. Lawrence G. johnson, who
has been making a geological sur
vey of North Louisiana, returned to
the city last evening en- route to
Minden. In brief interview with
the gentleman he expressed himself
very much pleased with the atten-
ton he is receiving at the hands of
the people and their generous CO.
operation in aiding him to perfect
his researches, being particularly
grateful to the people of Rocky
Mount and Collinsburg, Bossier par
ish, who were most generous in their
hospitality and assistance.
The Professor is confident of
the results of his explorations
and speaks of the iron fields of
North Louisiana and their future
output as q matter of fact. They
are not sufficient, he says for the
manufacture of heavy products bat
for hardware, shelfgoods, pot metal,
bar, red and strap iron the quality
of the ore is unsurpassed.
From Rocky Mount In a half moon
round by Red Land to Collinsburg
there is a valuable field of brown he.
Matte ore. It varies in every form
of that class from massive limonite
to geodic ochre. Geodic iron of the
finest quality is found near Collins
burg, and s to 10 miles south of it
all expectations of iron cease. But
above all and unexpectedly, within
seven to eight miles south of Col.
linsburg there is a fine development
Of limestone. In quality it is be.
lieved to be sufficiently pure for all
purposes, bot this must be deter.
mined by chemical analysis or
actual experimental use.
Professor johnson has also given
the matter of water supply some
attention. AS water makes up from
seven to eight-tenths of the entire
volume of the human body, it ma.
terially affects the vitality of the
system. He discovers that a Ignite
qualification is the first impervious
watershed, and that all water from
such a source is impregnated with
basic salts, which together with
other impurities in the earth causes
nearly all spring and we'll water to
be sufficiently deleterious to health
to call serious attention to the sub
ject. We think that Prot. johnson
is safe authority on such matters, as
the gentleman, we feel assured, il
thoroughly familiar with all Che
technical-details Of his chosen pro
fession. Hence we think it a good
idea for the parish authoritie:
throughout North Louisiana Il
gather a few samples of the water
used BY their people and have th'
same analysed. 1t may be that i'm
pounded water, gathered on tn,
earth's surface aud honsetops, is
after all, the healthiest and pures
that can be used even when necessa
rily freed from wiggle-tails, polly
wogs and other anamalcul8 il
drouthy seasons.
