AREAL INCIDENT,

Abont the year 1889 the District
Judge Of this district, who resided
at Monroe, went to Bastrop in his
private carriage. The Bastropians
had never seen q four wheeled We
hicle on springs and were consider
ably demoralized at its appearance.
At first it was doubted whether it
was internal machine, newly in
vented adjunct of justice; and as
long as this idea prevailed, the
carriage was an object Of awful in
terest. But it soon became known
what its real use was and Bastrop
declared war upon it. In mass
meeting it was declared that Bas-
trop was opposed to carriages. A
resolution was adopted that the
Judges carriage should be sacri-
heed as an example and warning
to all future carriages and the own
en thereof. A committee armed
with axes and torches, was des-
patched to consummate the sacri-
flee, and an approving crowd went
along to see justice done. How the
carriage was saved the tradition
does not say, but the hatred Of car.
rlages seems to have become hered-
itary in Bastrop and is now trans
ferred to railway carriages. Bas-
trop, or portion of it's amiable cit
liens, are opposed to railroads.
They want no North and South
road, although it is apparent that
it would be of inestimable value to
their town and Morehouse parish.
We can attribute this opposition
only to hereditary prejudice against
We hope the intelli-
gence of its people will enable
them to overcome i. in good time.

The Excitement in EuroDean
Politics.
VIM. E. GLADSTONE, PRIME MINIS
TER OF ENGLAND.

| ANS oC NNUAANOs
Mr.. Gladstone was appointed
Prime Minister Of England on the
2sth of April, 1880. He assumed
the Office of Chancellor of the Ex.
chequer on the same day, but re.
signed this position December is,
1882. His strength in the higher
position has hitherto baf1ed all at.
tenpts of the Parliamentary oppo.
sition to GUST him. He stands high
in the estimation of the masses of
the people, whose political rights
he has recently enlarged by the ad-
mission of about two million new
voters In his foreign policy he
has possibly been less fortunate.
While he loves peace the necessity
of fighting has been thrust upon
him. There is no question, how
ever, in the mind of both Liberals
and Conservatives, that in the
event of a great European war,
which, as the conduct of negotia-
tons between England and Russia
thus far indicates, he would under
take reluctantly, he would pursue
it with due energy and spirit. To
him was given by the House of
Commons fecently the unpreceden-
ted compliment of a vote of credit
for an enormously large amount of
money, without a division, or even
the speck of opposition. An I'M
surpassed oratorical effort on his
part preceded this most remarkable
triumph of personal greatness and
craftsmanship.
William Ewart Gladstone was
born December go, 1909, the son
of a Liverpool merchant. He was
educated at Eaton and Christ
Church, Oxford, and graduated a
double first class man. He began
his Parliamentary career as long
ago as 1882, when he was an en-.
thusiastic member of the Tory, now
generally called the Conservative
party. After holding variety Of
inferior appointments from time to
time, in 1868, he became Prime
Minister, and SO continued until
1874. He has been a Liberal, per.
haps about thirty years. The
growth Of his broadening convic.
lions has been slow and almost un-
appreciable as regarded for a short
period of time. His most Radical
measure thus far, namely, the dis
endowment and disestablishment of
he Irish Church, was passed in
1870. Two land bills, intended to
the condition of the pea
class Of Ireland,
ave been originated and passed
y him. |,

The interest in this important
enterprise grows daily in Ouachita.
The people of Monroe, by their
vote a five mill tax in aid Of it,
have long ago shown their apppe-
citation Of its necessity. The peo-
pie Of the parish, outside of the
city, ale fast becoming convinced
that the great need Of our country
is direct railway communication
with Northern markets. The peti-
tons to the Police Jury asking that
an election be ordered to determine
the question Of parish aid to the
railroad, have been numerously
signed by the most solid men Of
the community. Much less oppo-
sition was encountered from our
farmers than was anticipated
Very nearly the requisite number
Of signatures has been obtained,
and it is thought the petitions will
be ready for action Of the Police
Jury at their next meeting.-[M

GOOD READING FOR BOYS AND
GIRLS.

One of the greatest powers 70
evil is the low and degrading wri
tings our boys and girls read. Pa
rents and teachers, we fear, are no
fully aroused to the terrible infu
ence these trashy publications ar
exerting upon the lives and charac
tiers of the young. How frequent
ly do we read in the daily papers o
boys running away from home will
cards, pistols and dime novels in
their pockets. Yet, compared to
the vast numbers of our youth who
are demoralized by pernicious read.
ling, the cases that are reported in
public print are the exception. The
baneful influence of this reading is
seen in the slang language in
which our youth indulge; in their
disrespect for paternal authority +;
in their treatment of the aged; in
their wrong ideas of life which they
entertain, and in the general spirit
of INSTRUMENTATION.
Let us look at the circumstances
in which our youth are placed in
regard to literature. At the homes
of. a large part of them there is
scarcely book except the text.
books of the children themselves.
At the homes of the majority of
those remaining may be found a
few books upon the parlor table,
which are usually considered by
the parents as too nice for the chill
dren to read. 1t is safe to say that
very few indeed Of our youth have
access to a good home library
That child who is trained at home
to a love of reading good books, is
the exception. Is il any wonder,
then, that our youth yield to the
temptation to read the worse kind
OF story papers and novels which
are everywhere thrown around
them ? Children are not to blame.
There is nothing in their home sur
roundings to counteract these evil
tendencies.
Neither the home nor the school
has done its full duty in regard to
what our youth are reading. Pa
rents and teachers have neglected
the obligations devolving upon
them of developing in the minds of
the young the love of reading good
books, which when once developed
will remain with them through life,
and will greatly influence their fu-
ture lives and characters. But lit.
Tie can be expected from the large
majority of American homes. The
important works of instilling into
The minds of our youth love of
good books, devolves al
most entirely upon the teacher
We appeal, therefore, to the teach
srs Of our State, to do all in their
power to interest their pupils in the
writings Of worthy authors, to i'm
,lant in their minds, as far as pos
ible, correct literary tastes, to in
pire them with q pride that would
make them disdain to read the low
md groveling writings of the day.
low can this be done is q question
worthy of the consideration of all
ducators.-fE Exchange.

Had the heat power of coal
been limited 1000 degrees lower
or the melting ,point of iron
established 1000 degrees hirher
than 1t is, the entire human race would
have remained sayages or barbarians

tne dawn OF this era, yet in that time
what revolution has been wrought.
II It haa been prophesied 100 wears
ago that grain of coal would some
time evoke from a drop of water a

of the human race, so subtle and pow

Interesting Facts About Coal.

Prof. G. D. Wilson has this to Say about Coal.
The United States was. during the
coal period, low swampy level not
unlike the lagoon district Of Louisi-
ana. There we've probably also scores
of such swanps as Dismal swamp OF
Virginia, which has an area OF 6G0
square miles, and depth of 10 to 30
feet of black mold or peat In pasty
state. These swamps differed In size
as well as klnes of trees, reeds and
ferns growing in them. Some marshes
have slow flowing water; others stag
nant water. Peat was accumulated
by means of a microscopic plant
(sphagnum palustre), and centuries
were required to form deposit OF 30
to 40 feet. The swamps with how-
ing water would be mingled
with foreign material, while the
stagnant marshes would increase only
in pure carbon. When a vast area
was submerged, 100 fathoms of water
above it, the pulpy peat bed, 80 feet
thick. was reduced to a few feet OF
coal. The clay next to the coal alb
sorbed enough carbon to become fire
clay. Pressure and heat resolved the
upper layer of clay into slate and
soapstoae. We have thus underlying
fre-clay and overlying slate-the pre-
else order in which we find nearly all
coal. Then the land is raised to q
higher level and becomes Perma-
nent part of the continent The
svamps In which there were bayous
or flows of water would give impure
and sIaty coal. The purest coal
would be formed in the still waters OF
lsgoons. Thus was formed, probably,
the Briar Hill coal, the block coal
of Indiana, and the serai-block
coal of Wilmington and Braidwood.
Coal contains the greatest store or
amount of heat In the smallest space,
and yields it In the largest quantities
at the least cost, and besides, Il is most
universally distributed through all
the countries. II is. In snort, the
cheapest source of that wonderful
power, steam, which is the basis OF
the worlds progress. No ordinary
combustible substances have heat
ing power equal to it. The melting
point of iron is 3, 479 degrees lFahrl
Tar beyond the heat power OF wood.
Butcoal has dominion over iron and
all its ores and forms. with . asurplus
heat power Of nearly 1000 degrees
